Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from
If a bot team beats real player, is not about the Format is about the Manager.
How can someone deserve to stay in higher league and Milk the money if they cant beat 2nd lower rank team?
The Format for me is good, more quality matches will be played and the difference of the teams will be lower and lower in time.

Do that quite bizarre format for lower leagues but the Premiership should be hard to get into never half the table can change 6 places :(
Its ONLINE manager, the game, it means every single move here, like promotions/relegations must fit some kind of algorithm, same for everyone, no matter what league level you play.
There are triple amount of leagues each level below. If you want less teams to be relegated - that would mean winning lower division wont guarantee promotion. That also wouldn't be fair.
With such league system - 12 teams, triple number of teams each lower division - its not possible to change anything here without making it worse.
Solution.
Increasing number of teams in leagues from 12 to 16 would make it feel more "real", with promotion for winner, playoff for 2nd, relegation for 14-16 and playoffs for 11-13. Place 3-10 (8 teams) would stay safe.
Or still 12 teams, but only double numer of lower divisions. Only 2 teams would be relegated and places 9-10 would compete in playoffs. But it would increase number divisions alot.
But really? We are right after league revolution and you can be sure nothing is going to be changed in next few years in promo/releg system.
There are planty of other things to be improved, fixed.

7th-9th should have a big difference in performance against a 2nd place of a lower division, the lucky factor always be there but the trend will be that.
The game needs alternations, reward good seasons, you have 36 teams in the second division to only reward 3 of them? in any case you are not going down to 6, only 3 and in a promo game 7th-9th should have an advantage against 2nd.

still nothing from the devs, impressive, this makes me NOT to buy plus ever again so much
sorry for lack of communication last month, we still keep our work on training reform.
Its almost completed, we are in test phase right now - we need mailny some fixed in new training page interface and few more tests to make sure that new rules dont generate to many top (multidevine) players - hopefully we will be ready soon - but we also know, that some previous changes faced problems during introduction into real game, so we rather want to be cautios with final declarations - for now i can give you our internal limit - we asume that training reform will be introduced with a small delay (max 2-3 weeks) - so for now you will get few extra trainings. More precise date will be set soon i hope - but tests are crucial here for clarification.
What I can say now, new system looks quite cool at test server, it's really flexible and allow to plan development of different player profiles/formations, so it could be a lot of fun in compare to current rules.
We decided to keep training rules as simple as it can be, so all info from news number 63 is valid. We decided to resign from any extra bonuses like bonus vs stronger opponents (it was one of ideas when training reform was claimed first time). So to understand major rules - please just take a look to last news (63).

Thanks for an update, this is what everyone wanted to hear :)
If I may ask - can we get a notice about day/time, when you plan to deliver upgrade a week or so before? So everyone can plan accordingly and avoid listing players then on TL in case there are some issues with sokker accessibility.

sure, there will be direct info.
About the day - it will be one of Thursdays, as its perfect day to end one week with old rules and start counting new one.

Very good news, thank you!
Maybe some news about NT's and the possibility to see NT players skills?

Thx for infos Raul ! :-)
Even if all of us know that you work hard, maybe it would be appreciated to let some message once a week just like you just did. In every project of new system, if you want to have enjoyment and membership with users, communication is the core of the project. Everyone knows delays can happen every time but no communication is the worst action to do in project.

as fast as we will introduce training reform we get there. Its not a very time consuming task, but for now training gets 100% attention of our backend programist, and he is crucial for it.
I'm fully aware that communication nowdays is far away from good and our previous approach was much better - hopefully i will get more time soon to be here more often.

Thx for sharing info. Great to hear things are on track. Can you please reinstate DD 63 in Pressroom for all non-forum-users to see, as it has been absent there for some time now?
