Football news

Hi friends,

Season 3 has started and I bring you the lastest news from the development of football. We have made a bundle of improvements in the soccer live broadcast, so that it is more enjoyable to watch. Here is a list of what has been done:

• Statistics about free kicks and corner kicks have been added to live stats.
• Team names have been added under the team logo. These can be clicked to open the team profile in a new tab.
• Every type of play has a special icon that appears next to the play in the summary below the live action.
• The minute has been color coded to denote which team the play refers to.
• The size of team names and current score on the screen has been increased to make them more visible on cellphones.
• The vuvuzela sound has been turned off by default.

And that's not all. We will add the penalty shootout to the live broadcast in the near future and fix some bugs.

We have decided to change the way rating of players is calculated in the match report. That is the number that you can see in the player statistics. Right now this number reflects not only the player's attributes, but also the type of match and match importance. These two influences will be removed from the rating calculation so that you can gauge whether the player is suitable for the position in which he plays. This change will have no effect on the match calculation.

We are also working on making the seasonal energy loss relative the to time spent on the pitch. This means that a player who plays just 10 minutes will spend only 1/9 of the energy spent by a player who plays the whole 90 minutes.

I can also tell you that some new features are coming soon regarding the club pennants. We will announce them when they are ready.

A new rule has been introduced today:

It is forbidden to lie about the qualities of a player or a staff member on the market

You find all the rules here.

Have a nice day!
