Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from

Dev diary's we only plan to make reverse improvments meaning the game is now much worse than pre 2005

Has anybody ever had a drop in form -5 at once !? For a player who plays constantly at least 135 mins per week..

no, but the diagram might show 2 drops in 1, it's always in relation to last week

Great, thanks for clarification.

As far as I know, it shows Monday to Thursday, and on next Monday it shows Monday to Monday.
It does NOT show Thursday to Monday because weekly change is calculated.

That is why there are +-4 or more days shown.

To answer your question, I have never seen +-5.

There you go, enjoy the falling knife like on stock markets :D

Technically super divine isn't 18 but 17,99

Is it possible to create for coaches of nt an list updated always with all national team players ?

It's possible, but a bit more complicated - i think it will be developed in the future, but for now we will just make that first step with option to view skills.

Several of us have already spoken out against including Playmaking (PM) on this list and I want to reinforce their arguments. PM for me, a mediocre player in youth, translates the question that every player asks when he is in possession of the ball: and now, what to do?

So, it's not a skill like Defending and Striking. No, it's something that every player needs to develop. Keeping PM as an exclusive to the midfield is to condemn sokker games to reproduction of the ridiculous scene in which the defender sends all the balls to the stands.
Let the defenders (and forwards too) train PM, please.

I can understand that arguments - but still, it is not a new rule, it's a part of current system.
Training reform will give more flexibility, but we are afraid to make it too flexible. We will still think about it, but for now current reform shape seems fair enough for us - you will be able to design training plans for each possition, but to develop skills dedicated to formation role - it requests to get some match experience dedicated to that formation.

For me - it's better to move in small steps instead of making one too big and then move back - reform will be a significant progress for you, if there will be still a serious problem with that rule - we can change it in the future.

about youth league - we will take a look, problably it will start with next week.

that looks like sabotage to the user. they have with CC 4 games per week and 1 NT game makes 5 games :O
How is a player supposed to cope with this? Somewhere he gets overwhelmed and gets cards and injuries! The user then lacks these players in the game. He works hard to get there, is that the reward for that?
The duration of injuries has doubled and you have to cope with 2 competitive games per week, with CUP and CC it will be more per week.
no team can afford such a broad one, the sponsor payments are too low for that. Pay a good 1/2 million € per week where sponsors would actually be payment.

Raul, on the rules we reed:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Training

Training of defending (tackling the ball)

You can select the position that will train defending most effectively during the week, you can choose among ATT, MID and DEF. The remaining positions train slower.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

a) Will this part change with the training reform or not?
b) Will individual training for MID reach maximum training amount , like in DEF, or not?

what about the wrong U21 Wc draw? will you fix that? (Netherlands instead of Sweden)?

well, i cannot agree with argument, that no team can afford wider squad... with additional games all of you have much more money that you used to in previous seasons. From my experience, i get almost 4m euro more during last season - and that season was also shorter with 3 weeks! so you get much more money per week than it was before reform.

Injuries are reduced a bit, but still - to compete with different competitions effectively, you need more players, thats good for the game.
Injuries are good overall, there is only one problem with them - probability- we should develop some change, that will reduce number of multi-extreame cumulations (extreame bad luck), like few injuries in one game, or in row - but every manager should be prepared, that he lose during season few players and he need to manage it.
