Onderwerp: NEWS Sokker- big changes are coming!

It doesn't "improve the game".

It's just impossible to stop high wingers when using 4 defender tactic, that's the whole story.

That's the same, but differently explained. If you stop high wingers, you improve your game, right?
And it's not only for high wingers, but also for blocking high level strikers

If there are no opponents on winger side how you improve the game?

You explained it as if using 5 defs magically made the team play better, it doesn't. It's just a needed precaution to stop the winger.

And you can stop high level ATTs with 4 defs easily, that's not a problem. Guarantee me that my opponent won't use a winger and I promise you, I will never use 5 defs.

Does sokker ever overthinking things?
90% of the managers in sokker is 30+ years old with a job and a busy life.
So they only want to make things easy for themselves and will pay for 1 year ahead.
And now sokker wants them to pay every month and so making it less easy for them?
Sometimes...

I do want to pay once a year also.
Now I have to do this every month to pay the same amount..., this does not make me happy.
No problem to pay more in all sort of payment methods, but dont force to do more difficult methods, this will chase away People.

Renewing gonna be automaticated, so in terms of easiness its as easy as is possible.

Still you have to check every month, so I am not happy.
I want to do it once a year as always.

You don't have to check. It just works for so long until you unsubscribe.

It is supposed to work like Netflix etc. It charges you monthly.

I understand, but still you have to unsubscribe in the future.
It is is not in your own hands.
I have so many examples in life, that it gives troubles when you want to unsubscribe for something.
And sokker did prove in the past there will be troubles in all cases.

I still dont like it.
But it is still the best game ever, so I will accept again as always.

I can give you a real reason why they want to do it that way.

I had once an SEO company and we were doing monthly subscriptions.
There were a good percentage of people who kept paying but were not using the service, they simply forgot about it.
So free money.

Its easier to forget small amounts than one big.

Normally the companies need to notify you before they charge you again.

Well it's always free money for them because whether they have 1 or 10000 plus users they have the same costs.

But yes, the whole subscription model is based on payments that go unnoticed and people often forget that they even pay for something.

This is mostly about yearly payments, not monthly subs though. You forget to unsubscribe before 1 year period ends and then you suddenly notice that you payed up front for another year.

I understand their way of thinking.., but it is not feeling good for managers in long term.
Problem of the current generation in the whole world, short term thinking only.

No, its not good for us.
And its ridiculous from the marketing and business perspective.

But it is what it is. I got used to them making bad decisions :-).

Also i have bough 2 year plus last time, when i already knew that they will up the prices.
I did not expect them to double them thou :-).

I paid for Plus in long term also ;)
Only problem this way is when they will take sokker offline ;)
My long term thinking is that they wont, solving flash is telling me that, they do still love their creation.
At least 5000 users will stay in the game also, I think.

And its ridiculous from the marketing and business perspective.

You have no idea what is sokker owners perspectiv, so you can't make such opinions.

Yes, they made it with purpose, the monthly sub is what they want the most. Alot more than period subs.
They don't need fast boom of money and than what? You hire people, you plan the work cause you have money right now, but you have no idea what will it be after 2-3 months.
They really want money month by month. It is easier to make longterm plans this way. This is longterm and very responsible decision.

As told, in long term People will not be happy with this decision.
Do you have an administration desk to handle problems with all those payments in the future?
You need such a thing for the future, otherwise People will be very angry in the future and will leave the game.
Another problem of the currrent generation, they dont think about this long term issue.
More payments is more service/administration.
Good luck!

In sokker there are a lot of managers 40+ or even 50+, we know how it works in life.
We have lots of experience.
