Dev Diary 82: Automatic release of NT-players from bot teams.

Donaldo

Since time immemorial, the Sokker community has been complaining of the fact that when a team loses its owner, the development of many promising players has been severely hindered. In the past, we tried to address this issue by giving administrators additional tasks, but there was no doubt that this solution was far from optimal.

Last weekend, we began testing the automatic transferlisting of u21 national team players from bot teams. This weekend, you can expect the full implementation of this feature.
We believe this long-awaited functionality will positively impact many aspects of the game.

We have divided the players into two age groups: U21 and seniors, applying different criteria for each group to determine whether a player is eligible to be listed on the transfer market.

Players under 21:
- will be listed on the transfer market every Saturday, regardless of the season week,
- only if they are either, currently called up to the national team OR having played at least one match for the country.

Senior players:
- will be listed on Saturdays but only during weeks 1, 7, and 13 of each season (to ensure fair competition at the league level),
- only if they have played at least one match for the national team, as recorded in the stats.

The timing of players being listed on the transfer market depends on the country of origin and corresponds to the default time for arcade matches in that country. Players from the same country will be listed with five-minute intervals. If a players does not find a new team, he will remain on their current bot team and will not be listed again in subsequent date.

We recognize that the initial operation of this system might result in a substantial number of players being listed. Therefore, during the upcoming weekend, senior players will be listed with an age restriction of up to 30 years (inclusive). Over time, this process should stabilize, ensuring a steady but moderate influx of players.

* Please note: This weekend listing of u21 players will be stopped, to avoid having too many players on the Transfer List.

New elections for national coach of Cymru

kryminator

Following the discovery of irregularities in the recent elections for coach of national team of Cymru, a new elections has been called. They are shorter so the newly elected coach can try his hand on Saturday.

Link to voting.

DevDiary81: The new election format – it’s already underway!

struś

This morning, the elections for national team coaches have begun! For the first time, they will be held in a new format, which should better suit the shorter season and game schedule.
Here are the details:
.

.

NEW ELECTION FORMAT

• The elections start during the morning update on the last Saturday of the season and last a total of 8 days until the evening of the next Sunday
• Users will still have two almost full weekends and the entire week between them to cast their votes, which seems like enough time for the electoral campaign and making decisions.
• Thanks to shortening the voting period and quicker selection of new coaches, they will gain one additional friendly match before the official matches, during the World Cup qualification year.
• We have also introduced clear rules regarding eligibility to participate and vote in the elections. Only users who have been playing for over 13 weeks can participate and vote.
• Anyone with a longer-than-specified tenure can run for the position of head coach for any senior or U21 national team and vote in the senior and U21 elections in their own country.

=====================================

Soon, the elected coaches will gain a new important role.

We are pleased to inform you that we are approaching the end of the work on the function of automatically placing national team players on the transfer list if their club team becomes a bot.
The principle will be simple, but dependent on the player’s age.

Specifically, players called up by the coach to the national team:
• 21 years old and younger will be placed on the transfer list every Saturday during the season at different times adjusted to the time zones of their home countries.
• Older players will be placed on the transfer list only on Saturdays during the off-season break and on the Saturday before the 11th league round (so that transfers happen between league rounds).
This is to prevent situations where a strong bot team would play against some opponents and forfeit others, which could significantly affect the table standings.

Thanks to these changes, new coaches will have an even greater impact on the entire player base of country they lead- choose wisely!

We wish everyone a satisfying and fair electoral campaign and much success with the national teams!

DevDiary80: “Price is what you pay, value is what you get.”

struś

We have been announcing this for some time and that time has now arrived.
As you know, for many years, disregarding rising costs, inflation, the need to reinvest in the service, we have kept PLUS prices constant.
However, in order to develop the game, provide new features and improve existing ones, we need to adapt to the market and introduce a new price list.
The changes will come into effect at the beginning of October.
.

.
But don't worry, we have included some promotions in PLUS's new service delivery model that will allow you to keep your current price up for even another year.
.

.
PLUS purchasing models and price lists:
.
NEW - MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION:

As in many services with which you are familiar, this model will require a credit card and the subscription amount will be charged automatically in advance for the following month.
The standard monthly subscription price is PLN 14.90 or € 3.80/month.

PROMOTION: If you decide to join as a subscriber before the end of November this year (the date of your first card transaction counts) you will receive the special price and a guarantee to keep it for up to another 12 months.
The special price is PLN 8.20 or € 2.10 / month.

How the promotional subscription will work:
- if you have an active PLUS - when you add your credit card, the first payment will be charged and the previously purchased plus will be ‘moved forward one month’. Further payments will not be charged until "old PLUS" expires, and then the promotional price will be maintained until 12 months have passed since the first payment
- if you do not have an active PLUS - the matter is very simple, the first promotional payment will be charged when the card is added, and the promotion will continue for the next 12 months.

Cancellation of subscription::
- You can unsubscribe at any time.
- in this case, you will keep PLUS until the end of the prepaid period, after which it will be switched off.
- if you take advantage of the promotion, subsequently cancel and return to the subscription, the promotional price will no longer applies.

SINGLE PAYMENT:

For those of you who will prefer to stay with your current payment method, packages from 2 months to a year, requiring full payment in advance for the selected period, will still be active.
The new prices are shown in the table above.

--------------------------------------------------------------

It was already about PRICES - so now about VALUES.

TUTORIAL
We realise that the game can be quite difficult for new users.
That's why we will soon be introducing an easily accessible and clear tutorial to help them understand the rules, mechanics and settle into the game.
And while it may not apply directly to those reading this message, I think we can all agree that the increase in the number of users will reflect positively on the game as a whole.

NEW VIEWS
Several sites will be expanded or refreshed very soon. There will be, for example, a ‘flag collector’ display.

TRAINING OF YOUNG PLAYERS
We will soon introduce changes in the way young players are trained, with the aim of improving the balance between playing for results and investing in squad development through training.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The next two are new projects, still in the concept stage, which we will be working on in the coming months but will have to wait a little longer for their full introduction.
However, we want you to know that this work is ongoing and as the projects develop, information about them will be brought to you in further news.

YOUTH SQUAD
You often report that the existing junior school system needs to be changed. In fact, despite changes in various areas, this one has remained untouched. We are aware of the need to adapt youth training to the shorter season. We would also like to develop a number of additions and extensions that will make the junior schools more attractive. The changes are intended to be positive for both club teams and the u21 national teams.

CLUB INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS
At the moment we have the Champions League. Prestigious, but also very closed, accessible only to the strongest teams. What if everyone could take part in an international competition, without exception, regardless of country or league level?
That is what we would like to give you. The opportunity to compete against rivals similar to you from other countries. We believe that, especially for small communities, this will be an excellent occasion to strengthen rivalry and develop the team.

We also make minor changes, adjustments and corrections - that's the maintenance work that allows us to boast high availability and service continuity despite occasional slip-ups - and although you can't see this work we do, it doesn't happen by itself.

That's all for today, I hope to be able to bring you more news and details of further plans soon.

Election time!

Dev Diary 79: Coaches' retirements and conditional orders.

struś

As previously announced, coaches' retirements will be implemented in the coming weeks.
Although the new functionality will already start at the beginning of the new season, fear not, coaches will not suddenly leave and you will be given at least the whole of next season to find successors.

Details below.

.

Rules for coaches' retirement:

• The risk of announcing the decision to retire will occur when a coach turns 60.
• At this age (60), the risk of such a decision is very small but it increases with each passing season, and the chance of continuing after 85 or 90 will already be slim.
• The decision to retire will also be influenced by the measure of success achieved.
• If your coach is successful - as measured by meeting season expectations - he will be less likely to leave.
• If, on the other hand, the season is judged a complete failure - the coach may be discouraged from taking on further challenges and more likely to retire.
• Information about retirement, will appear in an announcement in the Pressroom on the first Saturday of the new season - a dedicated notice to any coach who makes this decision.
• In the last week of the season in the Pressroom, there will also be an info confirming the retirement of the coach.
• Coaches who announce their retirement will no longer be put on the transfer list - neither after being fired by the user nor after retirement.

Recruitment changes for coaches:

• No changes will be made to the recruitment form at this time. Nor is such a change planned in the near future.
• However, the age range of new coaches will change - previously it was 33 to 66 years, which will be replaced by 40 to 59 years.
• The age of the new coach will be random within this range and any value equally probable.

Some statistics:

• There are more than 15,000 coaches aged 60+ in active teams
• In the simulation we ran, we came up with the following results:
o Of the coaches aged 60-64, less than 5% have made the decision to retire
o For the ones aged 65-69, it was already about one/third
o For those aged 70+, it was already around 70%

Changes to conditional orders.

Due to numerous reports of an insufficient number of conditional orders - since their implementation, their number has been limited to a maximum of 10 - we have changed the way they are set.
In the new mechanism, in the match settings, in the "orders" tab, only one window for the definition of a conditional order is placed by default, but we have added an "add" button, with which you can manually increase this number up to 30. We hope this will be sufficient for even the most elaborate tactical settings.

V Druid's Cup & one official information

struś

It has long since become obvious that what sets Sokker apart from other online games the most is its community!

Your uniqueness and creativity are often manifested by various initiatives of your own, which, on the one hand, are not officially introduced into the game, but, on the other hand, thanks to your enthusiasm, passion and sense of community, enter the game and become a valuable part of it.
Chapeau bas!

Today I wanted to praise and introduce one such initiative - the Druid's Cup.

The subject of National Teams and their competitions is often controversial. It has its supporters and opponents - some of you would like to limit the influence of the NT on the game... while for others, it is the international games and the leading of a national team that makes the game meaningful.

And it is the supporters who have shown how they can organise themselves to get even more out of the game through their own actions. Over three years ago, a few NT U21 enthusiasts led by Germanek - who has led all editions - and Welchy, who gave the event its name - decided to spice up the boring friendly matches period and set up a tournament. Unofficial, for volunteers only, the running of which was based solely on their own organisation and forum discussions.
What came out of it?

Well, I am pleased to announce that the V edition of the Druid's Cup is about to begin,

Until now, each edition has been played in a slightly different formula, each time drawing inspiration from the discussions and feedback from the participants - and there are more and more of them - and so, in the current edition, 32 teams from all over the sokker world will compete. This season's participants follow the U20 formula - which will be a great test ahead of next season's U21 World Cup qualifying matches.

V edition, starting on 24th August - 32 participants

History:
I edition - 4 participants, winner: England
II edition - 16 participants, winner: Srbija
III edition - 32 participants, winner: România
IV edition - 32 participants, winner; Polska

Would you like to make permanent history in the tournament?
You can! The tournament so far does not have its own logo - but Germanek is counting on you to help with that too! He would just like the logo to include Polish and Irish motifs - referring to his roots. I know from certain sources that the author of the best proposal will be rewarded :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally, a non-tournament-related official announcement.

We are finishing developing the retirement reform for coaches.
Next week I will be able to write about the details, but already in this week I would like to reassure you - your coaches will not leave the club suddenly and unannounced - stay calm.

Supplementary elections!

struś

In recent weeks, three U21 teams have been left without managers who had to say goodbye to the game for disciplinary reasons.

We are talking about the teams:

Eesti U21
Hayastan U21
Singapore U21

In order not to deprive fans in these countries of their excitement, we have scheduled a supplementary election. We invite you to fight for the selector's seat and to choose the best and fair-play candidates.
