Subject: NT injuries - voting

Raúl, when the new youth academy in other countries will be activate to?

I hope that we will manage it in upcoming few seasons - but to have some buffor i think we should claim whole 2023 for launch of that feature, it is a part of quite huge reform including youth school facilities.

3th option here also.

But add one extra tool for this.
A manager can prevent that his player can be selected for NT.

(He must click a prevent button, and the player can't be selected for the NT after 1 or 2 weeks
(just to prevent the someone does this last second before an NT-match and the NT-teams are a player short).

A lot of Star players from Belgian NT play in Poland.
If we'll have to face Poland, Polish users can easily decide for all their Belgian players not to play against Poland.
That's going to be mayhem :p

You need to plan this a month in advance (if you take 2 weeks or a month).
Maybe you also need to pay a fine if you use this option.

Obviously most people vote for option number 3. That is not a surprise, as they got baited with the $$$ sign. I guess they will be disappointed to see the crumbs they will receive in exchange for their players getting injured in the NT.

In the last months I just played corner tactics to avoid the absurd injury times, that the devs refuse to adapt in a meaningful way to the changed circumstances. That worked pretty well.
Of course my best striker got injured in his NT for 24 days.

The last 17+ years I always tried to be on good terms with NT coaches, always cooperated and updated the skills of my players.

I will change that from now on, won't share the skills anymore and won't even open mails from NT trainers and scouts. Not a nice thing to do, not good for the sokker community, not the way I prefer, but I will do everything necessary to protect my club from all the bad changes that slowly ruin this once great game.

So to all the NT trainers and scouts out there, don't take it personal, it's not about you guys!

It's ok, you don't have any Belgian players in your squad :p

Yeah, there really are no interesting Belgian players :p

number 4:
- NT play like an arcade
- U21s have a training bonus + risk of injury but a maximum of 14 days

Hi Raul, hi all

Thanks for this pool. I voted the number 3.

Option 1: is the current situation and I think that leave all unhappy, more or less.
Option 2: it's a solution, it's the easiest solution, not the optimal one, because it makes the game more poor
Option 3: it's the most tricky but interesting solution, it can improve a lot the gameplay and makes the game richer.

I think that a good idea to implement the benfit could be the following:
- Injuries: a compensation to the team that has a player injuried in a NT match could be given. It has to be proportional to the player salary and effective injury lenght. Even suspending the salary for the injury period could be a similar idea
- An higher attendance to the home matches could be proportional to the NT matches and NT ranking of the player's nationality. For instance, many people could go to the stadium just because Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi play. Very few people can be attracted because there is a player that played 200 matches for San Marino selection LOL. More played matches stats could be implemented for this calculation (e.g. champions cup matches, 1st/2nd/3rd division matches played and so on...)
- A further tricky but reality-like modification could be improving the experience weight to the player performance. Experienced players should not play as stronger, but they take better decisions than non-experienced ones. For instance, as current engine rewards the tackles for experienced players, an experienced player could preview better the ending of what he does. For instance, a non experienced player could take random decision, like shooting 40meters from goal, impossible passing and so on. An experienced one, conscious of his skills and opponent estimation, his plays will have often a good ending.
There are many ways to improve the experience weight without affect the skill level.

The most important thing I think is that all the rewards should be related to a discrete amount of NT matches in order to avoid too big rewards for the single NT match. This should avoid corruption and unmeritorious behaviour of NT coaches.

Thank you for this mate ))
I choose 3,because like real life,there is always a bonus in football for the high level matches,
like WC or European Championship or any other tournament.!
There is always a selebration for the top teams-players-coaches,with high incomes from them.
----------------------
And thats the update sokker needs.
More tournaments!!
More high level matches from all over the world,and even tournaments for the low!!

+1

>> I might be wrong on this but I think NT players already have some influence on attendance. And had for a long, long time.

> this was a rumour (or part of the rules?) in the early days of sokker, but there was no evidence that this influence really ever existed

It is already in the game, just so small that hard to observe.

Then, why don't tell the percentage of increase in the rules? This is important because it would make people feel that the risk of injury is compensated somehow

And again, since NT matches are played more often here than in real like, the risk of injury is not realistic. That's why anybody is happy with the current state

that's a very important point... if NT matches are 4 times more frequent, risk injury should be reduced by 4

this change, would reduce reluctance of some players of the game to share skills....


Moreover, to include prizes/rewards for NT players would be nice and nicer if you tell us in the official rules

Definetly last option, its seems pretty right and make sense.

Maybe the right compromise between the injury issue could be a button which manager could use to determinate how intense the player would play.

for example the highes procent gives a better traning progres and experinece but brings higher inquiry risk.
