I believe it's YOD>SOD>YT20>ST20

Source: It's been said that YOD>SOD multiple times making this logical. In addition, one of my teams has only lost a t20, the other only a yt20 and the one with a yt20 loss has lower supporter morale, indicating yt20 means more.
But hasn't YOD experience level been reduced since YT20 was introduced?

i havn't seen any black and white info but from some vague comments just after the news from YT20 was released, i believe


it was YOD>SOD>St20

but is now: SOD>YOD>ST20>YT20

Sure that other team only lost 1 game

i asked the PC question based on recent observation on new sign ups


it seems like we are getting several new sign ups a day


has there been a spike ? or do i just never pay enough attention ? i notice that quite a few don't seem to to log in past the first day, what is retention of those sign ups like?

you don't need to answer any of this, as a long term player, just interested, re the PC conversation before, it would awesome if we go to the point where we could add a full extra round of human controlled teams, not to mention just the overall benefits of having more human controlled teams

A lot of teams do only log in a handful of times
Some feedback we get is the lack of interaction, they want to control the players in a video game format
Some find it intimidating, need more instruction etc, we are working on that
Also a few other things that we are doing or plan on doing in the short to medium term

There has been a spike with 176 signups in April
And over 300 since the start of Mar

Managers up to 1385 and teams up to 1731
We understand a lot of this is caused by the current situation around the world but a bit more exposure doesn't hurt either

Great new about the spike in new managers.


A question... which has probably been asked already in the 27 preceding pages :lol:

Does the size of your youth team affect the quality of your youth pull?

No
Youth recruit quality is random but influenced by the level of your academy

Its a fine balance to getting the financial structure right
Newbies want more money so then can compete straight way, they don't, they leave
We give them more money and they spend it all and go broke, they leave

Right now they get 4 lots of 50k when they start but virtually have to blow it to be semi competitive as they are given a squad of players they can virtually fire straight away, that we can fix and maybe take the 200k from them so they don't dig a bigger hole.
We are looking into the finances to try and make it as fair as we can but it will take a while to simulate the numbers for all the clubs to see what happens



PS And can we get back to leaving answers in this thread to the Admin Team as that is what is intended in here
If you have a general question you want answered you can post it here
Thanks
