The season-change and Season 15 <--Back
Once again, we have reached the end of a season here in ManagerLeague.
Here I will try to explain exactly when and how this happens, as well as reveal what is new for Season 15 that you should know about.

On thursday morning, after the training-session at 09.00, the game will be unavailable while we move into next season.
During this time, the players go on their summer vacations, chill out, drink a few beers and spend time with their families. This might also include things like playing mini-golf and fishing.
This is good for their morale, but the beer, BBQ and the lack of training, have certain effects on their skills. This is why all players drop some stat-points; It happens to everyone.

At that time, there is a lot of frantic work in the ManagerLeague Headquarters, as the servers are updated and prepared for next season. This includes the required changes that must be done to the system to get the new features and improvements working.

On Thursday night or Friday morning, the game is brought back up, well in time for some pre-season friendlies or some custom cups this weekend.

Season 15 will officially begin with training on Monday morning at 09.00 as usual.

Here is a list of the improvements for Season 15.

Match Simulator
- New Morale model (Updated today after last nights feedback)
- More optimisations (from 4.17 MPS (matches per second) to 4.77 MPS here on Dev) (should mean some 12-13% time saved or so, which should be about 200 seconds per round in the real game)

General
- New and improved GUI for the MOTD-section, turned into a 3-column view for easier access to links, latest threads etc.

Finance related
- Credit / Money conversions are now handeled as any other income / expenses in regards to tax
- The minimum increased bid on a player has been changed from 10% to 5%

Translations
- A LOT OF updates going in here and there
- Updates in Preferences, Finances, Tables, Messages, Contacts, Transfers, the header and more...
- New language-files have been uploaded for Norwegian, Swedish, German, Dutch, French, Romanian and Danish

Messages
- Added link to contacts from message-popup
- Added direct link to messaging from contact-list for easier messaging

Other issues
- When using the team-search on the tables screen, the icon for showing the table has been fixed.
- A little extra number showing the ADDED TOTAL in Individual training
- When trying to access the game and for some reason you can not (your team has been logged out, the game is in maintenence mode, your team has been closed etc) you are no longer kicked out to the login screen ut to the news-page of the portal with a message explaining why you couldn't log in.
- Faster payment-handling for CreditCard purchases

Countries
- Added countries and names for the following countries
-- Latvia
-- Russia
-- Swtizerland
-- Wales
-- Scotland
-- Northern Ireland

Fixes
- Morale-change calculation was severely disfunctional at times
- Varous quoting problems with typical O'Toole names etc
- Made the BANNED-color brighter on the white skin, to make it easier to see the player data
- Fixed XHTML incompatibility in header
- Various smaller fixes and optimisations

Good luck with reaching your goals for the season, I am just hoping to make the playoffs this time around and avoid injuries as much as I can.

I can't allow you to do this until the next season has been started, as the countries "do not exist" in the system this season. But yes, next season, I will let teams change country until, um, say round 5 or something.
(Not that it really matters if I let people change it exactly whn they want to tbh)

pictureGreat changes. Although this isn't the forum for it, let me add my support to two important and what I take to be easy-to-fix suggestions:
1) Make league cup a little earlier (22.30 for instance).
2) Bring back the date of the latest post in the forum list.

Indeed, the Spanish translation is not as good as it should be.
It seems my spanish translator has stopped working half way.

Where are the matches beeing played?



I am guessing you mean "where can you SEE the matches".
And you can't, you can only read the match-reports after the match is finished.
Which is why EVENTS is so important, in case you wish to make mid-game adjustments based on various criterias....
Just click on any RESULT and you can read the report.

By : SpinnerMorale   01:06 06/10 2006
pictureThe old model was both lacking, but also outright bugged (as in FAULTY).
Team-Morale is now harder to boost to the max as was too easy before.
Now it also takes more parameters into consideration.
For instance, a win is not a win.
A "win" against an assumed easy opponent will no longer boost your morale a lot.
A "loss" against someone assumed better, will not drop it as much as it could.
A "big win" will affect your team morale more than a "small win"..

Etc etc.

It now works more as you would expect in the real world.

As for how Morale WORKS for or against the team in the simulator, that is for me to know and you to find out Winky

When a match is to eb simulated, EVERYTHING you can see about your players, your team, your tactics, your stats, your attributes, and even your stadium, is part of the simulation. All of these things matter, for both teams of course. (Well, the stadium belongs to the home-team, so the away-teams stadium doesn't count of course).

"Luck" can play a role, no doubt. Football is football.
I.e. "Luck" CAN make you win 1-0 in a match you really should have lost 2-0 if your Goalie has enough of it.
And "Bad Luck" CAN make you lose a game even though you had more possession, more chances and shots, more orners and everything.

But you won't do very well here just hoping for luck.
Most of the time, the better team wins.

And most of the time, the better team has the better manager.

Thats how it is supposed to be.

So don't expect to compete with the top divisions until you had a few seasons to get better

pictureSeason 15 seems to have been great, however there are a couple of bugs I've noticed on my travels and will point out...

1) The banned colour on the white skin is still impossible to read, because the background colour is blue and the text is black, so you just can't physically see the numbers. If you make the text white and leave the background blue, that will fix the problem.

Also 2) If you type a word with an apostrophe in (like "it's", "I'm", "you're", etc) on your profile, it doesn't save with the apostrophe in it (like "its", "Im", "youre", etc). That's a very minor thing, but it just makes it look as though I can't write proper English, when in fact, I can
