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

What is happening when you try to put him on TL? Any message?

log out, log back in, try again, should work then

Is this gonna happen today:

those 2 over 21 and that u21 Mladomir should all be on TL 2.08 because
1. those 2 from Zelenilo, because there is a bug miscalculating weeks and instead of Saturday week 7 etc. it's Saturday week 8 etc. which is 2.08
2. Mladomir, because he is U21 and 2.08 is the first Saturday after his club is a bot, because his club (not Zelenilo, australian club Apex iirc) is a bot since yesterday

If it is, when?
Thanks

It's difficult to predict due to server crash (not everythingis working fine now), but if they will be on TL they will land there on the standard hour of matches in country they are from.

Exactly that (the server crash) is the reason why am I asking for the timing!

Thanks

50 day deletion of clubs who never signed in, I'm told

90 day deletion of clubs who have had Plus, I'm told

Automated system, I'm told

https://www.sokker-manager.net/en/ManagerActivity/Overview/uk/0

I'm being told lies.

first they have to run out of plus, then the 50 or 60 or 90 days are counted

that top 3 from your link has following removal dates:
[1922675] spit - Newport County FC - Division III.03: To be removed: 2025-11-07
[1899484] Cobritza - Fc Cobra 79 - Division II.03: To be removed: 2025-11-07
[1922762] geston is great - Night Night - Division III.07: To be removed: 2026-04-15

It's utterly absurd how protected inactive clubs are at the cost of people who actually play the game.
Might as well just forget about NT players in bot teams. The devs clearly couldn't care less.

I mean, it's not like many more people are dying to take those teams.

Hi dude a question, seriously the code is so spaguetti that you can not make a function to the update form and for example, the distribution of minutes during the week a fundamental factor in its improvement or decline?

You could encapsulate a function to do that, only that change it would be a huge improvement to the game's dynamics. I mean, this would be a reward for one of the ideas they proposed for the game's new look. Distributing playing time among the players on the roster, for example, a range of 135 to 180 minutes, would be the idea. In reality, it would be a similar logic to the BMI that already exists in the game.

it was coded over two decades ago, with programming that was available at the time...

Thats a weak excuse.

Its rather: They do not have money to pay someone to look at it.

I'm sure that's it as well.

This is an internet browser game in 2025. It's not exactly rolling in the profits

Or maybe it just works as intended by greg&damian, as a mostly random thing only slightly influenced by one factor - a player getting or missing a training.

There's no shame in evolving the game to benefit the times we're playing in.
It's no longer 2005, it's 2025...
This feels more and more like lack of interest to update the game.
Updating the game might be rather expensive to do, but the excuses are very cheap.
There are dozens of very small but irritating issues in the game which the developpers know about, yet they rather choose to keep them as a feature and ''repair'' useless things or even properly working things into features that makes it even harder to like the game.

I don't know if you guys know anime, but the new season of One punch man has been brought out and fans all over the world are spitting their bile because the makers of One punch man needed 6 years to bring out a new season, only to have us seen pictures dragged from a to b in stead of real animations and they were paid millions!
Next to that, there are fan made teasers from One punch man which are made with only a few hundred bucks, yet they look even better than the best animations the original makers ever made.

I brought this up because I feel that while funds are a good reason to slow things down, they cannot be a proper reason to slack off and ignore the issues the game has for years and years on.
