Subject: BOT TEAMS/BANNED USSERS

u25s usually are not NT players so they don't fit your idea anyway... for example there are literally 0 under25 players in England NT
Yeah, but with nt u21 yes ;)

DEV:
In the future, we will address problem of good players stucked in bot teams by idea of Bots removal with the end of the season (and all players puted on TL). But development will take some time, so it wont be introduced this season, or probably even next one. During that time, treat that thread as a temporary solution to help NT.

Good night :D

They still haven't even finished the layout change that they started in 2020 :-)

I'm surprised that people are still expecting anything new or better from this game. It's basically half-dead and will probably stay this way. Some small changes that will take long time to be prepared and added to the game. At one point they will probably try seriously advertising the game, but I'd be surprised if it would end with anything other than a failure.

this is a thought of many users but I add that if the owner of the game ask 50€ of plus for a year....then you have to set these small changes

Surely it's not complicated to code

Are they in the NT? Y/N
Have they played for the NT? Y/N
Are they in a bot team? Y/N

If the answer to all 3 is Yes, then Transfer List. I'm sure there's some long and complicated excuse why this hasn't been done, but seriously, SERIOUSLY.

Coders of Sokker, where are you? Explain to me, is this difficult?

if there is no consent it cannot move ;)

I dont see the point in checking first two Y/N of your example.

If they don't check those 2 points, then every bot team will sell every player and all matches will get a 5-0 forfait

yes, exactly, every team will get the same result against bot

And imagine what that would be like in lower levels. In my first season that would have been 20 forfeits out of 22 games.

In summary:
after this discussion and 4 years after information from Raul, we can close everything.

Where is this application process to become an admin btw? The lack of volunteers is not the issue as I'm sure most people have twigged by now.

There is a slight problem with the process I put above.

In theory, a national manager (or managers) could intentionally (or unintentionally) obliterate a bot team by using all their players and stripping them of enough players to put out a team.

Personally that doesn't bother me, I'm pro bot-annihilation, especially the high level bots. This idea of "Oh it'll unbalance leagues" doesn't hold water either, considering how so many already sacrifice competition for training.

The lack of volunteers is not the issue

absolutely, there are only small roles such as tutor/linguist for these volunteers ;)
(edited)

but when should the bot continue to play at high levels?

I agree with you

In my opinion they should be encouraged to drop as much as reasonably possible. It's an absolute farce that bot teams are allowed to continue using their created tactics.
Wipe the squads at the start and middle of the season and replace with new-club level players.
