Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from
small teams can't grow at a nice rate... it takes a lot of work to develop a nice team (coaches, stadium, and players)
-sponsorship is based on the number of fans... penalize small teams,
-coaches are costly...
current problem is not only the amount of money... that has increased by 11/7 thinking on local matches... the current problem is on the supply side... YS are not providing nice players... so if we can go back to the distribution of talents-skill before all changes that will help a lot to the increasing inflation... if you do not increase supply this will kill the game at the end...

Raul, it seems that they do not want to attract new users or keep the old ones. There are many examples in life of how leaders who do not listen end. What's more, companies, games, or anything in general, grow when you listen to your users. Otherwise, look at what happened with blockbuster, which was not updated or asked its customers. Do you want SK to be the next Blockbuster?
won't supply increase by itself when users will lower they "good player" bar due to lack of players they used to call "good"?
Im agree with you, but SK is not easy. There are no rule updates, no tutors. The users we stayed, it's because we grew up with this game and learned all together. Some returned, as in my case, and others have been many years ago and the minimum percentage is new
You have destroyed the national teams with these two News: The qualifiers for the world cup, the training bonus in friendlies. The visibility of skills has not been included in the settings for at least a year and a half. National team coaches count for nothing like that. The previous lineup bug in national teams hasn't worked for a long time.
easy is not fun...
I agree, that's why I support ticket income cut...
But at the same time, I believe the game should be easier at the beginning, weekly income for new clubs is too low. Give them bigger starting fan club, better stadium (= more money from sponsors and tickets).
Those who are not familiar with the game (read: totally new players, not those returning to the game) have a very hard time, where simple mistakes can make them go into bankruptcy. That's a way to lose players interested in the game. Together with the lack of the tutorial it's a great way to have terrible newbie retention.
Oh, that reminds me...
@Raul
Do you know that the rules are still not updated, half a year after the training reform?

yep, lets play monopoly and pay each player 100m per turn. Games are for fun, no need of balance in it :)

Big clubs benefit more than poor ones. No idea how you want to explain, that this fact helps poor ones to grow.
Via transfers? sure, lets promote DT even more.
transfers and training is the only way to improve in this game, so I don't really understand your response
now small/new teams are able to make much more money this way and thanks to it they develop faster
users that started playing in 2022 confirm that it's much easier for them now than it was before
At the start game economy should help you to develop. When you are close to the top, it should be difficult. Your balance should be close to 0, and game should be harder.
yes, but did you do anything to help team at the start? no, you didn't, in fact the changes lowered the sponsors income of small teams especially from smaller countries + now you're planning to cut their income even more
so how does that help anyone who is at the beginning?

Next view that will be developed will be pressroom, one of the reason is to get some kind of tutorial in it too.
Yes, i know about rules.

We are planning to set incomes from stadiums HIGHER a bit than it was. And rebqlace it with wages of top players, so it will not affect newbies.
If your point is to stay with current level of incomes - then i dont understand how you can propose such a thing. 40% of incomes stays in the game now. No small solution like higher taxes or coaches retirement will solve it - it is a huge amount of money, currently only players wages and coaches are only real part of club expences.

Tutorial should be interactive. Not "some kind of tutorial", it needs to be properly planned, well thought out, with rewards to incentivise completing it and understanding the game. Not a random text shown somewhere in the pressroom.

Should be, on every page you visit as newbie. With some tasks, etc. Great idea, now lets think why we didnt devveloped something like that - we have no more than 20% of pages replaced by new code. So we can develop tutorial that will work only in few places right now.
I get the info that button to allow visible skills for NT will be added in few days. After week it will start working (one week to set personal preferences to users)

higher than it was before changes, lower than now
but please tell me what kind of net real increase does let's say +20% give each season to a top tier team in Poland and how much net real increase does it give to a new team with hopeless fan club and 3400 stadium? :-)

of course it's a ridiculous amount of additional money each season and of course it's a problem for the game in general because everything in this game becomes too easy for all older teams and people were raising this issue when the changes were announced...
it is not however a problem for small and new teams because due to a lot of money draining down to them + FIXED COSTS of everything [youth school, coaches, stadium improvement] this situation is GOOD for them because they develop much faster if they are active and train properly
it's very easy to buy a player for 20-100k zloty and then sell such player for 3-8 million zlotys which is A LOT of money for a developing team especially in comparison to what they make from the system [tickets etc.]
