You're right about all of that. Our goal is rather to evolve, and try to balance between old users needs and new once.
100% we are sure, that Sokker will NOT be addressed for 12-18 y old people, that's not an option at all.

Lot of you are affraid about speed up - dont worry so much, "slighty" is a key world. So, there is NO chance to introduce everyday games or 10 seasons per year, we dont wanna be another TopEleven.

WE HOPE! :)

for me 14 weeks + 2 weeks "off" in between in a season are perfect because i think most of the users are "older" people with famillies, jobs, etc and speeding up the game wouldn't work for them. the season is not too long nor to short. you have 3 full sokker seasons in 1 calendar year which i think it's well balanced. maybe we could have 1 week off instead of 2 for a little more "speed" so you would have...

week 14 - last league game
week 15 - qualification matches
week 16 (or 1) - first league game of the new season + week 1 of national cup + week 1 of Champions cup

I think we have enough matchdays for every competition to be over in 14 weeks.

With this you would have 3,5 sokker seasons in 1 calendar year.

For added diversity we can add something new - like Europa cup, Copa Americana, Copa Sudamericana (someone already mentioned), etc so we have 1 competition more. That can be played on Monday and with this you have a match every day of the week.

Maybe different format in that competition... like first 4 teams of national championship go into this cup (depending on the number of countries in each continent) so with this first 4 clubs (not just 1-2) would want to be in the top 4 and would want to play with maximum force until the last league game. i really didn't think about the format nor did I do any math so this is just an idea.

Also, with this ... in week 15 some teams play qualification matches and other friendlies so this would solve problem of some teams getting 1 "free" week of training (also mentioned before).

It is good to see those 300 seconds gone :)
It is even better to know that somebody in charge is actually reading our posts :)

On the topic of speeding up the events, I don't see why not to double the speed. Everything 2 times a week. I would love that.
I know that a lot of older user can't spare much time, but they could manage with some extra options.
I already wrote a few ideas somewhere about it:
- First squad settings that automatically loads for Sunday matches, and second squad for Wednesday;
- Auto arranged friendly vs a bot team on Wednesday, with a small financial penalty.

The last thing is very important, when you don't have much free time, you start forgetting to arrange a friendly. Then your players start losing trainings and you get even more discouraged.

Friendlies should be an optional point and not mandatory for training. I never understood the point of friendlies in which managers set their players in a corner, simply to gather minutes for "training". NO, training and matches are 2 separate things! In this formule, friendlies are a waste of time... nobody watches them!

till injury rate is so high corner tactics are logical solution you have enough fun in arcades
with not time to trade is only way to build team so ..

Not if you delete the friendlies as they are known today. Give players training when they are set for training... Not because they were "present" in a friendly

Raul I love my Sokkerviewer data. All the old data since the beginning of my club all the players and stats, that is something I like to look at and defenitely miss in soker where I can see only retired player. But I rather not want to see Sokkerviewer tool messed up and become unusuable for the sake of historical data.

then you changing training system completely witch im against part of beauty of sokker its it training system it requires tweeks not complete change . Why not remove injuries in friendly games if its like this in arcades why not there?

To be honest - hard to say yet.
We will try, but for now it's to early to predict how code upgrade will affect programs like SV.
For sure some functions of SV will be used in Sokker upgrade, so game itself should be more exciting about club history, players stats, etc.

Honestly, the current training system needs to changed completely. It should not be mandatory for players to play a game to receive training. Instead we can have a slot system which can be similar to the present system.
For example, 11 slots will be available to train pace. 5 slots for defenders, 4 for mids, 3 for attackers. Also, a slot can be shared by 2 players which is similar to a sub that we have currently. Only 1 kind of training will be available per week, which is again similar to current one.
Of course, if youngsters play the Sunday and Wednesday games, they will get experience and tactical points but nothing else. Or maybe just 10% additional bonus in training if they play these games.
That way, we can add more context to the Wednesday games. We can have 2 cups on Wednesday. One Cup will be for the first 7 weeks and the other one for the next 7 weeks. We can also add a normal Friendly on Friday if the users want it.

it was not a good idea, i take it back

[i]Correct me if i wrong, but I will consider this hypothesis:
...
We don´t want slower training (in terms of pops frequency) than it is today
...
We want to slow the training so the level of top players is reduced...

this is contraditory is n't it?

We want reduce the quality of top players, but we want same number of pops we have now.
