ManagerLeague : Online football manager : More improvements!

More improvements! (07/12/2010 14:51)

I know I said updates would be few and far between these days, as we are trying to build momentum on AD2460, but it seems ManagerLeague has too much momentum to slow down :) Recently, we have been working on some "upgrades", and it's time to reveal what they are.

Please note that these changes will not be in effect until next season, this is just a heads-up notice to get the information out there!

Additions

The Samsung SuperCup has been implemented. This is a tournament identical to Champions League but for the teams who just failed to qualify, adding more action to the team in the top division and something extra to compete over when it comes to the positions just behind the CL-slots. As we have grown several leagues the last years, the number of CL-slots per league have been reduced quite a lot, so by making another tournament we allow a little more action
- The Samsung SuperCup has it's own section in the Cups-menu, it's own trophies, it's own listing on the Champions-page and it's own top-scorer ranking, and who knows what else
9 new achievements have been implemented, for us to know and for you to try to figure out
Comments in blogs are now date- and timestamped
A blog-entry will now reveal which team is connected to it, at the bottom of the blog-entry, under the facebook-link.
The owner of a blog can now chose to to receive a message inside the game every time someone posts a comment in his blog.
You can now also share a Player on Facebook. What a cool way to brag about your own players! And of course, if someone joins ML after clicking the link of a player you have shared, you get the referral!
We will finally be able to accept SMS-payments from Thailand, so bring out your mobile phones!
We will now store and display the avg-Q and avg-performance for all teams in their history. However, this data has not been stored previously, so we do not have this data for past seasons...

Improvements

Stadium-upgrades can now be cancelled at any time if not completed. All money and credits are refunded upon cancellation. And yes, there is a "OK or CANCEL" popup.
Player-rankings re-implemented
- 50% more players are ranked in each league, which is good when checking just your league and division
- The ranking-update might take a bit longer to finish, but the site will be MUCH more responsive when it runs. Until now, it has pretty much prevented any use of the site when it runs.
- Additional issue fixed in the generation of the Champions League Top Scorer ranking that reduced the time required from 25 seconds to 0.02 seconds
Player-performance-measurements have been tweaked, and should show higher performance-values for sucessful defensive actions
The free-kicks following an off-side situation will now be correctly and completely simulated

Fixes

Various league-dropdowns have been sorted alphabetically
On the friendlies page, open challenges from a team in Bosnia and Herzegovina will no longer break the design.
Disabled colors and smilies in the transfer-forum.
A simulator-bug was discovered and fixed. The effect of the bug was in relation to the following scenario:
- When a player received a card, he is supposed to calm down a bit to try to avoid his second card. However, due to the bug, this calming effect was removed every 15-minute interval. Fixed now.
- In essence, this should lead to fewer cases of players getting their second yellow in a match. That said, a hothead is still a hothead
Fixed the annoying wrong printing of positions on the tables-page if you check the tables page while the league-round is still being simulated.
- The only "drawback" is that teams will be listed as #1-16 at the start of the season, even though they are really all in "1st postition".

Other

To avoid confusion and what looks like slow simulators, you can no longer play friendlies when the simulator is busy with the department-cups or league-cups.

All of these changes will go live on December 23rd, which means there is something to look forward to this Christmas.

Now you know :)

Unfortunately, they will have to qualify next season, and then the tournament will be played the season after.

This means we cannot raise prices for the first match of the season (hopeless) anymore (number one playing number one), but rather we are left to the random-ghost how much earnings we get from the first game....

Not good. Especially not on Sundays. If there is a huge cup, there will be a very limited time to play friendlies before the camp...

I've noticed another bug with the End of season cups played Wednesdays.
If I remember correctly, the name of the day (in my case translated in Romanian) was Sunday. Should have been Wednesday.

But wil this not destroy the MLCL? If the prize of winning this cup is better than the MLCL?

This is a good step in the right direction. I think the league cup winners should get a spot

Uhm, no...It doesn't mean that...Your team will still be in "position 1" actually (your team-details will still show you as #1), but the tables-page will list you as say #10 if you are in the 10th place there.....

Spinner wrote:

"But wil this not destroy the MLCL? If the prize of winning this cup is better than the MLCL?"

It's a fair point, but the honor and exclusivity of owning a real MLCL trophy far outweighs anything Samsung can produce, no? :) I get what you are saying, some people may actually wish to rather play the SuperCup in stead of the Champions League, but in my opinion, this extra tournament is worth that potential issue.

Well, what can i say, although there is room for improvements, at least in the simulator area, you are doing a great job implementing new tweaks and updates on this game. This fact shows that you are involved in improving the game, and, although it is a bussines, you try to make it challenging and pleasent for the community.

Have a great hollyday period, Merry Christmas and keep up the good job in 2011 too.

Cheers.

Great, but could you please clarify one small thing?

First league match always draws lots of attendance due to both teams being "nr 1" in the league. Will this change, if your team happens to be listed as nr 16, playing at home against nr 15 in the league, or will the simmulator still regard all teams as "nr 1" for the first league round?

and maybe you if you are in a Champions League Spot you could pick wether to play MLCL or Supercup, and the Highest ranking Supercup team can play MLCL!!!
