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.

Dev Diary 78: The (un)predictable grace of the supporters

struś

At the end of last season, we promised some adjustments to the fans' mood system.
I can confirm today that they have been made, and also describe in a little more detail how the current satisfaction level of your fan club is determined.

Take a look at the chart and the explanations below it:

• When modifying the algorithm, we wanted it to reflect real supporters’ behaviour as much as possible.

• Therefore, the current mood of the fans is influenced - to varying degrees - by three factors, which you can see in the Office tab.
--- Rating of the current season
--- Rating of the last season
--- Level of satisfaction with recent matches

• As can be seen in the chart:
--- 30% of the influence is the results of the current matches
--- 70% of the impact is due to the fulfilment of expectations - from the previous season and the current season combined

• In a natural and smooth way, the importance of the previous season gives way to the rating of the current season.

• What is supposed to precisely reflect the behaviour of supporters who are slowly forgetting past slip-ups and merits and are beginning to evaluate the ongoing season.

• At the same time, we have dispensed with the fixed bonus or penalty for previous season's achievements which, in some circumstances, prevented the highest or lowest levels of satisfaction even at the end of the season.

• When determining the level of expectations for the following season, the influence of finances has been modified - it is still an important factor but has been better balanced.

We will observe the effect of the change and do not exclude further adjustments.

Age update - change of date

struś

We're all getting older... but starting today, one day later in the Sokker!

The moment where players age is updated has been recently moved from last day of the season (Friday, week 13) to the first day of the next season (Saturday, week 1).
This means that the long-awaited age update will come with tomorrow's update.

Sorry to inform You so late, but, at least, there is an information.

At the same time, I wish you all many talented 16-year-olds!

Tax reform - minor correction

struś

We have made a small adjustment to the tax rules.
.
The previous rule:
- The amount of tax is determined when the player is sent away after the auction.

We replace with the following:
- The amount of tax (the % that will be charged as tax on the final transaction amount) is determined at the moment the player is put on the transfer list.

***I am also replacing this entry in the full DevDiary77 article.

Dev Diary 77: Tax reform (final)

struś

Dear users,
.
After several more or less successful attempts, the time has come to finally introduce tax reform. Here is how it will work soon*.
.

• The new rules will take effect from 15 June and all transactions finalised on that date will already be taxed according to the new scale.
• This means that it also applies to players placed on the transfer list on earlier days, who will be sent away from 00:00 on 15 June..
• The amount of tax according to the length of stay at the club is as shown in the chart.

• The tax can take a value from 8% to 50%.
• For easiness, it will operate in steps and take only integer values.
• It will still not possible to sell a player who has been at the club for less than 4 weeks.
• The first transaction of an alumni, regardless of their length of stay at the club, will be taxed at 8%.
• For other transfers, the tax will reach 8% after 105 weeks at the club.
• The amount of tax is calculated on the final sale amount of the player.
• The amount of tax (the % that will be charged as tax on the final transaction amount) is determined at the moment the player is put on the transfer list.
• You will see the percentage tax that will be charged on the final amount as you list the player on the transfer list.

* and one last point, remember this is Sokker, and Sokker is like the real life.... knows how to surprise ;)

Dev Diary 76: Nothing is Certain Except Taxes

There is not much that is certain in Sokker.

That's a kind of charm of this game. We like to keep discovering it.

Therefore, without much commentary, I submit a picture worth more than a thousand words:

Dev Diary 75 : Fan Moods System

Donaldo

The fan mood system has been reset.

We're back with a comprehensive explanation of how the new fanclub moods work, as we see they raise many questions and uncertainties. We apologize for the delay in preparing this description – nevertheless, we wanted to verify all reports of potential issues/bugs and confirm various cases flagged up on the game forum.

Overview

The most important information that should be the starting point for understanding the new moods is as follows: the new fan club satisfaction level is NOT a continuation of the old system. In other words, this season operates on an entirely new system, and you shouldn't refer to the mood level before this update – these are completely different mood calculation systems, and you can't say, for example, that the mood "dropped" compared to the previous season. It simply has been calculated on new grounds. We believe that most of the misunderstandings reported stem from this crucial piece of information.

Maximum moods are only for outstanding achievements

Next, what is crucial in the new system is the fact that we approach individual mood levels slightly more demanding. To achieve maximum mood, it's not enough to meet fans' expectations – the level of "fans are madly in love with their club" is for extraordinary achievements, exceeding expectations to the maximum – you can't achieve it simply by playing according to the club's capabilities. Consequently, the level of "fans believe in their club," which is 4/7, is considered an average level of satisfaction that the fans strive for when the club simply meets seasonal expectations. Any deviations from meeting expectations will affect whether the moods will rise or fall.

New moods are a component of meeting fans' expectations, but also includes fluctuations based on results, like the old system

Importantly, we've retained the influence of the old system based on the results of recent matches. We deemed it a more realistic solution – so fans will refer to whether the club meets its expectations, but they will also remember the team's recent results – so for example, if we're in a good league position as expected, but we lost the last few matches – it will affect their mood. The proportion of this influence is 60 to 40 in favour of the influence of seasonal expectations – they are ultimately more important.
To help you understand your fans' behaviour, additional information regarding their behaviour at the office will soon appear, such as:
Evaluation level of meeting last season's expectations: xx
Satisfaction level with the last matches: xx%
Satisfaction level with meeting expectations: xx%

Additional (important!) rules of the new system

1. Fans will remember last year's successes or failures. For each level above / below the expected goal of the previous season, the club will receive a modifier to the mood limit. So for example – for a club that completely exceeded fans' expectations, a +2 limit will be allocated to moods, meaning that in the new season, even if it is completely unsuccessful, moods will not drop below the level of 2/7. Similarly, if we don't meet expectations – for example, if we're one level below the seasonal goal, moods in the new season will not be able to rise above the level of 6/7.
2. The range of this modifier operates on parameters: +2, +1, -1, -2. Once again, we emphasize that this is about the limit, not a constant bonus – in other words, the modifier limits the scale in which fan's moods can move in the new season; it is not a constant bonus to the mood.
3. Fan's expectations currently only encompass league competitions. International matches or cup matches affect satisfaction with recent matches, not expectations. This is likely an element we'll expand upon in the future, and the club will receive goals for other competitions besides the league (less significant in terms of impact).
4. The impact of meeting expectations depends on the moment of the season: fans will react much more gently to the first matches of the season, and much more strongly to the last ones – which determine the actual position at the end of the season.
5. The greater the disparity between fan's expectations and the current mood level e.g. in the new season, the team significantly exceeds expectations, and if started with angry fans then the faster their mood will change.
6. Moods are currently updated after the morning update.
