Dev Diary 60: Gameplay Reform – it is happening!
Let me start by sharing a few personal thoughts with you. There are news that you write because you have to, and there are also news when you enjoy typing every single letter, the announcement of which is the culmination of many months of hard work. The announced effect is the beginning of something long-awaited, and the changes introduced are not only technical maintenance of the game but its significant development. Therefore, with great satisfaction, on behalf of the entire Sokker Team, I announce that the start of the new season will be preceded by the long-awaited reform of the tournament structure! ~Raul
THE MOST IMPORTANT CHANGES:
- Extending the composition of each league - from the current 8 to 12 teams.
- Changing the calendar of competitions. The season will be reduced to 13 weeks in which matches will be played according to the scheme: league matches on Wednesdays and Sundays, cup / friendly matches on Fridays. Each team will play 22 league matches in a season instead of 14.
- Change of promotion rules. Most importantly, from the next season, league winners will always be promoted directly. On the other hand, teams in 2nd place will have their chance in play-offs. Places 3-6 will be safe, teams ranked 10-12 will demote directly, and those ranked 7-9 will have to defend their league presence in play-offs. We hope that this will affect the fierceness and attractiveness of the competition and each team will be committed to fighting for its goal throughout the season. Link to the new tournament calendar
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS:
- The new system assumptions are that each lower league level has 3 times more teams than the preceding higher one, and therefore: 1 x 1st league, 3 x 2nd leagues, 9 x 3rd leagues, 27 x 4th leagues, etc. This change makes the possible introduction of new promotion and relegation system, but also makes each level more exclusive and prestigious.
- The effect of the reform will be a change in the total number of teams at each league level. While the I and II levels of the game will increase their numbers, starting from the third league number of teams will be reduced. This is exactly illustrated by this table.
- The above changes require new assignments to individual leagues. At the beginning of next season, old leagues will be reset and ALL teams will be assigned to the new leagues based on their performance this season, creating a completely new composition of each league. We describe the rules of attribution in detail below.
RULES OF ASSIGNMENT TO NEW LEAGUES:
1. We play play-offs, promotions, and relegations, as usual, at the end of the season.
2. We keep the score (points, goals) with which a given team was relegated or promoted.
3. We delete teams without players (e.g. in PL there are nearly 400 teams).
4. We sort the teams according to the collective tables of a given level of the game, assuming that:
- First, we sort the teams that fell from a higher league level (direct relegations from higher leagues, and play-off losers from higher leagues)
- Then the teams that stayed at the given level (play-off losers from the league level in question, and safe places 2-4)
- At the end, we sort the teams that have advanced to a given level (direct promotions from lower leagues, and play-off winners from lower leagues)
5. We remove all bot teams from the rankings. We adopt one rule: no login in the last 50 days. These teams will not be completely removed and if the owner returns someday, he will be able to resume the game with his own team, with his own resources, but from the lowest league level.
6. The tables created in this way will be the basis for assignment to new leagues.
NECESSARY BUT UNPOPULAR EFFECTS:
- As described above, the number of middle and lower levels of the game will decrease.
- The consequences of the change in the number of teams at a certain level will be situations in which:
a) teams that, according to the old system, would be promoted to a higher level, will remain at the current level.
b) teams that, according to the old system, would remain at the current level, will be assigned to a lower league.
- It is math, and a necessary, one-time adjustment.
- We hope that the increased possibility of promotion from next season and the greater attractiveness of the tournament will be compensation for the owners of these teams.
- Despite many hours devoted to searching for solutions, in order to introduce changes, it was not possible to find a better solution. It is a necessary, but probably unpopular, effect.
THE EFFECT OF CHANGE ON TRAINING:
- Awaited by you, training reform will not start until the next season, so the next season will be a transitional period. New rules of the game, but still the old rules of training.
- Consequently, thanks to 3 "training" matches every week, it will be possible to train more players: e.g. 3 players with GK, 9 ATT, 15 MID or DEF, and as many as 33 players training pace.
- It is also a small gift for you for your patience - use it for the season, in the next season there will be new rules.
- Shortening the season will reduce the number of training from 16 to 13 possible so far. Remember this when planning the careers of your pupils.
In final words, we hope the competition next season will be as fierce as the discussion under this post! Good luck to all of you! ~Raul

Not quite sure how that will work in the transition season. By the sounds of it, if I was to win my league auto or by playoff, I might still not promote.

It means there will be a one off "table" to determine where teams with regards to which division teams end up in. A complete one off but it's not overly clear how it works.

appreciate the updates you give though ;) brilliant work :P
Someone else explained it as (which makes sense):
Promotion is based on total points in the competition. So:
- you become champion, with a low amount of points, for example 27.
- you lose the play off
- the number 2 from another league has more points than you, for example 32
--> that number 2 will be promoted.

It does mean I am in a pretty strong position to make a premier league debut next season!

shorter season would mean players will be older to get to high levels. At least until we get new training in. Best teams may have a starting 11 all over 30.
What I am more interested in is how much difference money levels will be per division tier. Difference between tier 2 and 3 always seemed to be too big a step. Hard for new teams to survive let alone make a jump to next tier. But then again 2 league matches in a weak could mean home gate money every week which will help.
I will say auto promotion for league winners is a welcomed and well overdue in my opinion. Winning league but then losing playoff does leave a bitter taste even more so in lower divisions. Especially when auto promoted team is weaker but from a less competitive league.
Just have to wait and see. A lot of unknowns.

There used to be a myth perpetuated that you were better off being 1st in III than 8th in II.
I imagine this would only be the case if your team was below the level it should be. My initial stints in II where I was easily relegated, finishing 7th / 8th netted me more money than winning every game in III. Even in the lowest mood, sponsor money was higher than top end of III. Being lower ranked side, any kind of positive result would have a good impact on fan mood which may not be the case for under performing sides though.
