Subject: Arcade games!

Can someone explain me please what exactly are "arcade games"??? Not even the announcement makes a description, and I am not a Plus user (for more or less the same reasons tiolucas expressed, though I have no problem with the devs trying to make money with some ads for non-plus users... come on, tio, you're playing this for free, give them a brake!).

From what I read, it seams to be just a friendly game, people talking about testing tactics (it's not what we can do now with friendly matches? if it were not for the unrealistic training system, but that's another story). Does arcade mean that we "control" the players on the field?

No idea what everybody is talking about.

it's not what we can do now with friendly matches?

in friendlies you can't compete with your friends because:

a. you're afraid of injuries
b. you train players [5 in most trainigs, 3 in striker, 11 in pace]

so it's very different:)

arcade = for fun

you can't get injured, you don't get cards, it doesn't ruin the pitch, it doesn't give you ticket money, it doesn't give training

I can play 5-2-3 without losing training now (Mid trainer)
I can play with my strongest team against friends without any consequence for training or injuries.


So, it is a normal match, but without any influence on the game. Even can I use players with a big injury (as i understand it correctly) so for that match they are healed magicly, while they injured after the game again ;)

Fun games, but same as other matches.

With the current system you "can", it's not convenient though (I agree with that, it's a gameplay design flaw). What I meant, anyway, was that it was like a friendly game in the sense that you set up a team and send it to play, period (arcade could be interpreted as you not being the manager/coach but actually controlling the players during the match, that's why I asked).

So, then, it's just a regular game with no effects on the game (so, I guess, most of the users will play friendly games on Wednesdays to get training, unless they don't care).

Honestly, doesn't hurt but doesn't address the issues that have made SK a boring manager game (at least imo). I'll stay in my hibernation cave :P

Are you kidding me? I think this is shame...

Are there the most important things in the game? The bugs and MEs errors are secondary?

It's a wrong way DEV's, very wrong way.

I assume that only greg and damian mess with the ME. Most DEVs are for the site/new functions.

Therefore this new thing has nothing to do with ME changes...doesn't hurt and should give a lot of fun :)

I think you've missed the main idea. Plus users will now be able to play a friendly match every day in "Arcade mode".

I don't understand why would anybody complain about the OPTION to play more games..

And I think you didn't even bother to read what I wrote:

I didn't miss anything, I read and understood that, I only said (as a side comment) that user will choose to still play friendlies on Wednesdays (!) not to lose training, that's it (I didn't say anything about the other weekdays).

And I didn't complain about an option for playing more games (in fact, I said that it didn't hurt, meaning exactly that: it's an option, you use it or you don't, doesn't burden).

So, next time, before you suggest someone "missed" something, you'd better be sure YOU didn't miss anything.

no answer from damian for supporters mood and ranking. but i am sure no impact on them.

So you just basically said nothing..just wrote to wrote..

Keep all cool and take fun about those news ... for "plus" only :=(

Woooooo!!! Plus users rule!!!

I think this arcade games is a great addition to the game. I am not planning to use this feature often, but I think it´s quite valuable "tool." I can compare my team with teams in higher league, what I wouldn`t do in regular friendlies and can see how my tactic works. So for everyday sokkerholic it might be useful. Even though I think more games doesn`t really mean more excitement. But nothing happens when you don`t play these games.

And it´s good to see that devs are working with the game.

I can destroy you during next week, interested?
