Survey Results - Tweaks Listed Here

[JB@Norwich]

Greetings FFO Managers

After the last few weeks of reviewing the completed surveys and a number of statistics, tweaks for next season are announced below!!
Please note that other suggestions made by managers are going to require more research/development to come to a conclusion on viability.

[JB@Norwich]

Website
Minor changes to the design along with clearly marked back buttons. Club fixtures page will also open the text file not the vidiprinter file.

A secondary header with links to forum, discord and sheet submitter from all pages of the site.

More detail in the side bar, with links to important pages.

Any logo will become a link to that club or comp main page (this might take a while).

Finances pages split into two. Income and Expenditure - clearly showing each months split of wages gates and credits.

History Pages with previous seasons data - this will take me AGES but ill do my best.

Rules will be tweaked to fix a few loopholes people have discovered.

[JB@Norwich]

Auctions
We will be changing the wording of the auction rules page to ensure no one can complain when "surprise" auctions happen.

That being said next season will have 1 main auction preseason along with a "number" of spot auctions during the season.

These could be T2 only, full game, DBC and below only. Who knows *TBD.

Loan Ratings
We recognise this needs a boost - these ratings will be reviewed every EOS from now on to ensure this is at the correct level for the game.
1st Tier: 19
2nd Tier: 18
3rd Tier: 17


Long Term Roadmap
This is something one person suggested. I will work towards a vision that takes us to 2032 (25 year anniversary) in the coming months.

Abs
The last section on the list is the one with the most feedback, here is the action plan

1. Cups
This is a trial for 1 season - it may change back to the same as before
All cups (CL to FLT plus domestic cups) will all have the same abs settings, the same as EFL1 and Prem.

2. Main Abs Settings
T1
AB_Goal = 33
AB_Assist = 33
AB_Victory_Random = 0
AB_Clean_Sheet = 34
AB_Ktk = 36
AB_Kps = 29
AB_Sht_On = 27
AB_Sht_Off = 26
AB_Sav = 29
AB_OG = -10
AB_Defeat_Random = 0
AB_Concede = -10
AB_Yellow = -4
AB_Red = -15

T2
AB_Goal = 32
AB_Assist = 32
AB_Victory_Random = 0
AB_Clean_Sheet = 33
AB_Ktk = 35
AB_Kps = 28
AB_Sht_On = 26
AB_Sht_Off = 25
AB_Sav = 28
AB_OG = -10
AB_Defeat_Random = 0
AB_Concede = -10
AB_Yellow = -4
AB_Red = -15


Explanation
Random 10/-10 hasnt really worked. Its back to 0.
Goals, Clean Sheets and Asssists increase to ensure the players performing the best get the most rewards
OG back to -10, this seems fairer for a random event in game that the manager has no control over
Cards are lowered in punishment

Balancing changes
It appears DFs are getting more abs (even though they get less actions) and we seem to have an issue where AMs get more shooting abs than passing, FWs getting more passing than shooting
The above hopefully balances that more evenly, without allowing skills to run away.
The difference between T1 and T2 has been cut to just 1 ab per action.



Thank you to everyone who gave feedback and also everyone who continues to play the game. We are nothing without you all!!
