Subject: »[info]DevDiary 80: “Price is what you pay, value is what

No, no idea about it:) so, we have some first fake news in Sokker, it's geetting interesting ;)


I play against a weak 20 skilled bot, while a new manager has no cup match.

About impact of arcade games on rank - it will be fixed, there sould be none. Or maybe some dedicated ranking for arcade, but not connected with general one.

Okay greatl So Arcade matches will give no advantage anymore for whatever feature in Sokker? Also not the daytraiding option of misusing Arcade matches to make it easier to sell players a couple of days later?


EDIT: and if I remember correctly, in the past you could have no cup match the first round and went to second round without playing a match. That would be more fair, so all managers can play in the cup and not only top 128 (incl some bots and without human controlled teams who are below 128)

(edited)

There are 103 active users in Netherlands, so if active users would be favoured over bots, then that would solve the problem.

That would indeed solve the problem. Should be done in all countries, manager teams first, botteams to make the right number of teams.

But if there are not enough bots, 1 match less for a number of teams is also no problem, lucky teams to make it into the next round, or unlucky if income was needed.

that was my idea too...prefer human teams, then bots...or best teams go trough to 2nd round without playing a match....

i guess main problem here is that they must change old code and not to mess up something else and that can be hard sometimes...

Maybe he get a team after drawing?
Even if - for future it will work as you said:

I'm not sure it was like that (we dont see it in the code) but we already prepared idea of that kind, with qualification round, to give chance to play for everyone. But still - need to be developed.

" but we already prepared idea of that kind, with qualification round, to give chance to play for everyone. But still - need to be developed." - I like reading this, because once a more simple code can be written to do something like this (ie for the first round of a cup), it opens up the possibility of a future competition, where multiple countries join the one cup, at different stages of the cup (ie to make up for national cup going for different lengths of time).

What about BMI? Is it already in operation or not?
When can we affect the weight?

+1

don't know what exactly is implemented but there is a clear difference between 2m player and 1.6m player speeding up...smaller one will get to his top speed faster then the higher one....

Maybe he get a team after drawing?

No, at the end of April, see his team: https://sokker.org/team/teamID/65478

What about BMI?

I hope this will be deleted. I don't know any football player with such extreme BMI's


I rather see extra bonus skill per player, like +1 or +2 on 1 skill. So not all players wlll be the same with 3x 19

Strange, i will check it.

The weight of the players will vary depending on training, matches played and injuries.
That's my question

To be honest i dont know jet. Match engine and parameters affecting on games are waiting for now, it will be last part of our work, after general game mechanics, UX, flash removal and new graphic design.

BMI would also be negative for players from bot teams that will be put on TL list. Many won't have played enough matches so BMI will be high.

BMI will cause unnecessary problems I think.

For me its useless complication, but its my private opinion:) we need to chat with all devs and find out how it works.
