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.

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

struś

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:
