Subject: Nt players in banned/bot teams

Here I am, the volunteer!

So contact the admins / defs and tell them that you are willing to be an admin, responsible for whatever they need and saving players.

There is already a Dutch admin though, so probably they'd want to just have one of you two.
(edited)

They already publicly stated they don't want more admins for the role. So it does amount to there being a way for it it be done but not much the regular users can do. And yes for the record I would certainly do the role.
The process was explained in the other thread, by Gaston I think, about needing to create new logins and list the players etc. Time consuming sure, but not a task that seems to need any additional knowledge of the code/inner working of the game.

Time consuming is the issue.

Imagine having to "unbot" 10 users, create new passwords for them, log to their accounts, list their players and then close down&bot every team again.

And that's just for one person asking for their NT, with some coaches asking at one time to save 10+ players that they "need".

It could also lead to creating issues with teams starting to give walkovers from round 3 or round 11 etc. so the whole season wouldn't be "fair" and so on.

Another issue I have with it personally is why would you list the players for example at "good time for Europeans" and not in hours that are better for South Americans or Australians etc.

Did you all read last dev diary?


Soon, the elected coaches will gain a new important role.

We are pleased to inform you that we are approaching the end of the work on the function of automatically placing national team players on the transfer list if their club team becomes a bot.
The principle will be simple, but dependent on the player’s age.

Specifically, players called up by the coach to the national team:
• 21 years old and younger will be placed on the transfer list every Saturday during the season at different times adjusted to the time zones of their home countries.
• Older players will be placed on the transfer list only on Saturdays during the off-season break and on the Saturday before the 11th league round (so that transfers happen between league rounds).
This is to prevent situations where a strong bot team would play against some opponents and forfeit others, which could significantly affect the table standings.

Thanks to these changes, new coaches will have an even greater impact on the entire player base of country they lead- choose wisely!

Soon, the elected coaches will gain a new important role.

What's the meaning of word Soon in sokker reality? xD

Yeah, that will help when it actually happens.

I'm rather sceptical when I hear them announcing that something will happen "soon"... or that they are "working" on something... months go by and it turns out they still don't even have an exact idea of the thing that they are "working on"...

:D

The saving process took like three years.
It is a time consuming process, a process like this would require at least 3-4 admins. To do this manually, is a nightmare,
The best option is the one reviewed right now by the devs, manual saving is a helping hand, but the work procedure is not efficient at all.

Hope to see the implementation as soon as possible, soon meaning at least into the season that is already on the way,

As far as I know auto-script is already done. I saw test results this week with u21 players. Maybe there is something to be fixed with it, I don't know. Or maybe it will be launched so first u21 players will be listed on TL next week.

Yes, I imagined that it must've been a terrible nuisance for every single player, so the fact that you guys did it in turns for so long was amazing... especially when you were often asked to list some useless players worth 1 euro etc.

@Geston
Is there any fixed idea about how it will occur?

IMO the u21's could be listed on daily basis... or even u23s. Seniors as mentioned before twice a season, at half / end of it.

u21 once a week.
senior 3 times in a season, week 1, 7 (between rounds) and 13.

In both cases, the bidding is due to end on Mondays.

sounds perfect

All the players will be put up at a time that is attributed to their country, so it will depend on their nationality not to sell all at once. So players from East Asia will be fielded earlier and those from the Americas at the latest.

Nice:) to make sure, it will be based on the in-game nationality of the player, not on the country of the team(bot)?

in-game nationality of the player.
