In the middle of these days with noticeable growth, match-simulations taking a bit long, a buzzing forum with suggestions and whatnot, it is time for a little update from ManagerLeague H.Q.
What is going on? What's in the pipeline and what to expect?
What we are doing now
As you should have noticed, we are taking on more players every day now. This means the load on our systems will only continue to increase, and we need to take time to find solutions for this. We may need some new hardware, but we certainly need to optimize bits and pieces of the system.
Unfortunately, I am not a full time database administrator, and lack some of the knowledge I require, and so I have to spend quite a bit of time on research, testing and tuning of the database, and so on.
It is only in the hour between 15:00 and 16:00 that we have any load-issues, as everyone logs in to look at their recently played match and play friendlies etc. The rest of the day it is totally fine.
This means that there will be few "addons" made in the nearest future, but there are some in the pipeline.
International Cups
A champions league type cup , and a cup-winners-cup should be up and running as son as we have league-champions in all leagues. This is still two season away, thus this feature will wait just a bit longer before I start working on it, but it WILL be ready on time
Some problems you might want to know about
There are a few issues now that have been reported, so I figured I should inform the lot of you about them.
- Double bids
Somehow, on rare occasions, some bids are placed twice on the same player (same amount etc) We are unsure how this is possible, but it is probably related to bids placed in the hour between 15:00 and 1&:00 when the system is a bit too loaded. It is fairly harmless, and if one of the bids are accepted, the other one will vanish. You can also safely withdraw one of them , leaving the other intact.
- Team Selection / Sort by XXX / Drag'n drop
If you order your players by anything other than position on the team selection screen, using the drag and drop substitutions will mess up your team in rather unexpected ways.
While we need some time to sort this one out, we recommend you do not drag players around if you have them sorted by anything but position (the default sorting).
National Leagues
Most of the national leagues keep growing too, with more players joining their right leagues every season. With a few more players from a few countries, we can open up some new leagues too, so keep on bringing in your friends!
Thats a quick update at least, to keep you informed But as always, stay tuned for surprises
Have a great season, and keep those players rested and ready for the big games!
Yours truly
Spinner

| That’s all sounds great, Spinner... but, as I can see from chat with some of players from Balcan area, it looks like it will never be enough players for independant national league for players from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro...
So, here’s what I propose: LET’S MAKE NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR PLAYERS FROM ALL EX YUGOSLAVIA COUNTRIES!!!
Some cind of Balcan, or maybe Adriatic league (like in real life basketball). On the end, it’s not really important how that league would be called, but I’m sure that would be much more fun for all of us...
Off course, only you can see how much players from this part of Europe play ML, but I think it would be enough... and only you can make this possible...;-)
Think about it...

| We had hoped to avoid such "artificial nationalities" though, I have to say..
But you might be right, maybe this could be an exception that is justified (if we never get enough players for individual nationalities anyway).
I shall certainly consider it.
Adding up Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia and Montenegro (0), it just might be enough..
If you work with trying to spread the word over there, and increase the size of the playerbase from the region with about 100 players, I think we can try..

| it is been a month that im searching allover the net and i tried few soccer online management games
yet i didnt stick to many many of them ,except for this one and another
but i amuse this more and spend more time on this game
i will even start to pay my money on it rather than anyelse to keep it going and help u guys develop it to be the best
just a question? is there any expectations even in the far future that a 2D match engine will be implemented?
thanks anyways and keep doing ur perfect job brothers |

By : Raaja | Asian League ? | 11:08 19/08 2007 |
| Hey Spinner,
How about asia ??? I'm sure you can create a national (in fact, a continental) league for asians, if not for each individual nationality. You can apply the same ex-Yugoslavia rule here too... |
