A: Yes, the reform includes the possibility for a player who has not played in a week to receive training. However, he will train noticeably slower than a player who has appeared in full or part of a game. An appearance in a National Team match will add another training bonus. A bonus for playing against stronger opponents is also expected. Exact training values will not be announced, we will let you estimate them using your own experience - as has always been the case in Sokker so far.

Don't really like this...

anyway: what does it mean "stronger"? In match rating? Team ranking?

A22: Both the training and the meaning of this skill will eventually be changed. One concept is that stamina does not refer to a single match, but to a pool of energy that is lost as you play matches and regained as days off. This will force a higher rotation of players and the need to manage their energy pool, translating into quality of play.

I like this idea, but can we assume that this stamina change is not meant for next season? Also if something like that is implemented - you should decouple teams stamina from NT/U21, otherwise majority will not want their players stamina used up in NTs.

Also - if everyone is expected to have bigger roster (which is good) - where the extra players will come from? Are there plans to increase number of new youths in ys and/or training spots?

Next question:
when will they fix the cup/friendly games so that the game 'sees them'?

At the moment the training report (which is great and useful) became completely useless because it ignores those that played in friendly/cup game

Struś just gave new answers and I am sure, that some of them will couse new discussinons! :)

Before giving you the link with with the answers, I want to ask you to keep the discussion about them on a separate topic.
I just reposted his answers on topic "NEWS Sokker- big changes are coming!", so that we can discuss about them, there.

THE CURRENT TOPIC IS ONLY FOR COLLECTING QUESTIONS.
I will appreciate if you keep this in mind.

Here were the questions answered:

Q27 or 28 or 29:
Can you tell us a bit more clearly what you mean with the statement "A bonus for playing against stronger opponents is also expected"? a bonus if the opponent is stronger compared to my team? by rating or by ranking? or in general, the stronger opponent in absolute numbers, the more training bonus?
And what is your intention here - do you want to make it more difficult for managers who focus on training in lower leagues (especially difficult to make money for a restart)? Please don't make it a secret, it might be too important for our long term strategy.

edit: including the question by borkus above: anyway: what does it mean "stronger"? In match rating? Team ranking? ;)

The answer of question Q18 raises new questions what are the solutions that devs consider for elections as dates and if any changes in voting process. and when we will be announced ...
(edited)

Shell i repeat my question? xD

Q19: Matches pages of NT and U-21 are not compatible with bottom, left-menu clock (number of weeks). Will it be fixed, will we have strict, unifed calendar?
A19: If there is a problem still, please send more information.

Q30?: Do you plan to change the day when the cup/friendly is played so that it is the last match before the week training? It seems that most of us agree with the change. If so, would it be for the next season?

Terrion, about your question. Imho, it was already asked and devs told, that it's only for the current season. Next season it will not affect the training anymore, because of the new rules on training system.

However, if you still thing this should be questioned (e.g. because I have not understand your point, or whatever), please just inform me here once again, to iclude your question on the new list, that I will make the next days. :)

It will affect the training in one case, when someone gets an early red card on Sunday match and can't play on Wednesday (because it's another league match), his training won't be full.

But I don't think it will be that bad, if you plan to train players from different formations after the reform (for example 4 DEF, 3 MID and 3 ATT) then you can play all of them on Friday friendly/cup match, and if you give someone additional minutes in league matches it won't hurt that much if he gets an early red card there.

And even if someone doesn't play on Friday and gets an early red card on Sunday then he will still get some training if he is assigned to the training spot.

if you still thing this should be questioned

I do, because it's not only the match order issue (solved next season) and the red card issue, but also the effort to distribute training minutes. I see many people complaining because it was always easy to distribute missing training minutes without much consideration in the friendly before training update.

Now you have to plan the whole training week in advance, without knowing NT and U21 minutes before your friendly, and if you mess something up you have to solve it in your league match.

I see it myself, I need much more time for planing my team training than before, using excel tables, what I never did before. Maybe you don't see the difference, as you always used to make training a science ;)

Exactly.

At this moment I need to play the cup with the players I think I won't use in league, that's an info. that my league opponents may use against me. And what's more, the form update of mondays could alter my plans

Maybe people was ok with that, too much info. to remember :)

Ok, now I understand the problematic, I will add on Terrions question some parts of your comment and some parts of Mikoos comment, to be sure, that devs will understand the problematic too.
(just to avoid an answer, like on Q19...)

It will affect the training in one case, when someone gets an early red card on Sunday match and can't play on Wednesday (because it's another league match), his training won't be full.

And this is the main reason why 2 things should be changed in the league structure and the cards distribution.

1) Change youth and cup / friendly matches with each other.
This way your player has the chance to play an official match on sunday, tuesday AND wednesday.
This also has the advantage that the NT / U21 match will be played before all other matches, so it won't destort your training plans.

2) cards from league matches and cup matches should be split!
That way, If your player has a red card on sunday, he can still play on tuesday, except if he also has a red card for tuesday because of a red card in the previous cup match...
And also. if a player didn't play on sunday and gets a red card on tuesday, he can still play on wednesday and receive his full training!

Qxx: Will you address the issue with Cup 1/4 finals reverse ranking order?
