Onderwerp: NEWS Sokker- big changes are coming!

actually, I don't believe the risk for injuries is that much reduced with decent pitch. In 1-2 season with 4 bots in the league, I could not notice a significant higher risk plaxing against them. What I see, however, is the ball bouncing much more ob the field.

You cant assume anything with so little data

I can assume anything, through I can't substantiate nothing. ;-)

You can help new and small teams earning more money playing in big stadiums on National cups. Earning money in this game on early stages is really difficult if you don’t know how the game work.

This argument has been made over and over again since 2007.

They don't care/agree.

They include it in their manual so I think it's definitely a thing:

Type of grass and pitch condition

The pitch condition can affect the behaviour of the ball and also has influence in the probability of injury of the players. On the pitch, in an area of weak condition, the ball may bounce in an unpredictable direction due to the unevenness of the grass, and also may jump in a direction a player didn't want when dribbling. The probability of injury will be higher on a pitch with poor condition and lower on a pitch with better condition (condition higher than 50%).

I’m not sure it actually benefits new teams anyway. At best you get 1 game where you may benefit. The top teams get every game they play which is often 5+ rounds, lot more for bigger nations. From an aggregate perspective think you end up worse off as a new team playing in the larger stadium for a single match. Only helps if you look at the immediate short term of being able to spend on the fixed costs like stadium expansion or coach upgrades but you don’t really need either that early on in the game.

I’m not opposed to it but I do disagree there would be much benefit as longer term you’re losing more money to others and things like transfer list becomes even more expensive.

Edit: You’re almost better off just changing the price of the tickets if you’re worried your home game wouldn’t have enough capacity for the bigger team.

A long, long time ago, Raul said that the cup matches would be in big stadiums. This way, there would be no matches in bad stadiums, the injury problem would be solved to some extent and there would be better financial gain. Years have passed and nothing has changed. Why are these promises never kept? Why is such a simple process not done?

Coming soon to movie

except these guys are 95% bots through round 2. Hell, even in round 3 when I face a person, I advise on ticket prices, and they either don't read the email, or don't listen. Just stupid.

that and as iyi insan olmak lazim notes before, the field conditions. even if you are playing all trainees...who wants their kids getting mangled on trash fields?

The latter part regarding pitch conditions is the only justification I feel of having the bigger club have the home game but you could fix that by setting a minimum standard pitch for bots anyway.

If you play bots away you’re still unlikely to sell much better playing them at home especially when you’re also a new side. Different when you’re a more established side. Established sides are usually the better sides which goes directly back into my previous discussion if your angle is that bigger stadiums help new sides out which is what the statement was.

Obviously if you’re one of the bigger clubs you want the home game as you benefit more from it but that goes against most of what has been raised.

I don't understand why we play cup games at the home grounds of weak teams. We are forced to play on terrible pitches with the risk of injury and more importantly, we play in 3,100-seater stadiums when weak teams are already cash-strapped and have the opportunity to make money from matches. Please find a solution

Agreed. There's no benefit to anyone of playing at the smaller ground.

There is in a way, I think cometer already explained it that it would bring even more regular profit to already biggest teams because they'd get ticket money for weeks 1-7+, while most teams would get ticket money for 1 week, 2 at max. 50% finish after 1 game, 75% finish after 2 games.

As for injury chances, well - these are the exact same chances a small team gets anytime it plays on own pitch, so that's a negative mostly for 1 (big) side.

I think you've got a point there.

Although really, it wouldn't be a big increase in income for an established club. If I'm switching from my 30k stadium to a 60k, and that income is shared anyway, I doubt the extra income would ever top £100K

Some teams' fields are literally potato fields, even the ball bounces, there is a high risk of injury in those fields.
