TM PRO

The Trophy Manager just gave out free TM PRO accounts to everyone. They say its to compensate for thier server problems, but I like to think its a Christmas Bonus!

Here are some of the TM PRO screenshots. Its the Clubhouse and the Gallera FC History

The Team Jersey

(Mandaue City, Cebu) - The Gallera FC Squad looks gloom, with most of its games ending in a draw. The 2nd division proved to be a challenge and goalscoring is in a drought.

The squad hopes to survive and bounce back on the coming days. 

A lot of changes are ongoing for the club. First, the Club Organization is now legitimate. Gallera FC was built on illegal connections, but now all network connections are of legal status. Second, The Club is undergoing expansion projects from Second Division revenues. We hope these investments will return in big time. And last, The Club is signing on promising youth players, ready to be the next generation Roosters.

I'm posting the old Team Jersey, for a little history. 

Championship Awarding & Promotion

(GALLERA DE MANDAUE) - The Gallera FC squad are on practice and preparing for thier first game in the second division. They have returned home together with its 2nd trophy in Online Football. The TM 3rd Division Champions Cup now stands beside the BGLIGA Philippine Champions Cup at the Gallera Stadium Hall of Honors.

The Gallera Team returned home & were paraded by the Mandauehanons. Mandaue FC BGLIGA players Adrianne Pena, Ross Washington & Enrique Gonzales also joined the parade.

I wish to play in TM, but we are under contract in BGLIGA. Besides most of us are already 40's and playing in BGLIGA is just for fun. - Addrianne Pena, Manduae FC Top Goalscorer in consecutive seasons. 

Gallera FC unveiled it's new kits for TM season 13 during the awarding in Mandaue City Plaza. 24GOAL sponsorship has also its contract renewed. The Brazil NT kit that the Squad used during its last match in season 12 will now be in the Hall of Honors together with the 2 trophies. 

Enjoy the 2nd Division boys! some of these teams are from ANG LIGA and others are familiar foes from last season. - Club Manager Ayala Alonzo

Gallera FC wins its 1st TM Trophy

(Via Satellite) - Gallera FC clinched thier first Trophy in TM Leauge. The club made it as champions in Division 3 G4, with a needed win in the last League game to secure the top table spot.

The Squad came on the field with thier "Brazil NT" kits. The Brazil NT play is adopted by manager Ayala Alonzo and was very effective for the players. 

The match opener was by ZAX Corporation on the 41'. A bewildered roosters defense created a Goal by A. Ortiz in the box. But it was level on 43' as C. Parra made his way past M. Panadero and drove the ball straight into the net from 30 meters. A clean header from P. Suarez then sealed the game on 55'. But Pedro Guijaro was the Gallera FC Hero and Man Of The Match, as he made critical saves earning a world class performance from the TM League FA.

I was on a adrenaline rush, they came on strong and I have to do my job as keeper. - by Pedro Guijaro

Pedro (Guijaro) has quick reflexes and has an eye for attack, that's why he is our first choice keeper. Ceasar (Parra) also did a good job in midfield and scored the equalizer, I think this is his prefered position although he is a defender by training. "Albert" (Suarez) did not disappoint as well, as he delivered and kept his role as a goalscorer. - by Ayala Alonzo

Celebrations and Awardings will be held at Mandaue City Plaza when the team returns home

On the verge of Championship

(MANDAUE CITY, CEBU) - The sabongeros are on a uproar as Gallera FC clinch the top spot of the Division 3 G4 Table. The local squad celebrated as they win 3-1 against Brent1234.  Chickens were seen flying as there were thorwn by the supporters.

"The cockfights were definetly suspended. It was all football that day. we never expect to be at the top of the table" said a by a passerby off to work in one of Cebu City's Call Centers

"The boys give it thier best, they did great even without my leadership in midfield. at least I get some rest & enjoyed the game at the VIP room" by Alvaro Morales, who was suspended from a previous game.

The "Parez Strikers" delivered for Gallera FC as Suarez scored the opener in the 21' & Alvarez followed up with a double in 47' & 49', just 2 minutes apart. The game has also seen the action of "Nuno sa Punso" Perez. He is Spanish and plays for Ledros of La Liga Primera Division in Spain. This young athlete was a sought after player by many clubs in Europe, but the Gallera Boss got this guy for a fee of 20.5m.  He is the first foreigner to play for the club, as he came on as a substitute for Fidel Uria on 83'. He has played once as a starter in a previous game.

"I am so happy as I get a chance to win a championship here in the PI, I was only in the youth squad when Ledros won thier titles in segunda division. I also would like to thank the Manager for selecting me in the first team. It's great here in Cebu and i'm starting to learn bisaya." by Nuno Perez.

"The Sqaud came back from being near the relegation zone at the beginning of the season, to become title conteders in the last match of the leauge. Most of our players are just local mandauehanons who just love to play football, in result they sometimes get injured & recieve cards easily. These guys are hard at work and they deserve a shot at this championship. I said to the Boss that I will not disapoint to deliver some winnings, and a championship wasn't even they even they expect." by the Club Manager Ayala Alonzo.

Wednesday will be the most awaited match in the Club's history. The Gallera FC Squad are just one win away on thier first Title in Trophy Manager Leauge.

 

Top 2 Break & Club Advertisment

Gallera FC breaks in at number 2 outranking all other contenders in Trophy Manager Online (Div 3 Grp 4 Philippine Leauge).

The club might be a candidate for promotion, or possibly a silverware this season. but no reason to celebrate since other teams go on the defensive and the season is not yet over... anyway this is just for the record.

also here is the Gallera FC Ad to be posted on the Trophy Manager Club History.

Trophy Manager

At last a online football game I dream of

It's called Trophy Manager

Here's whats good about it.
.....It's hard to tell, It's 90% of what I have imagined.
It's downside is that it is a little more complicated than bgliga.
a good game requires a little complications, depending on what game you like playing

I guess I'll stop making this online football game hobby.
all Ideas I have is already found in Trophy Manager.

I haven't started playing it yet.
I read Its rules & It's all clearly explained & the game is well designed.

I think this is the endroad of this blog. I already found what I have been looking for.
a "close to reality online football game"

and I'll be going back to my real job & play some trophy manager

thanks for reading my blog.

code & rules overhaul

Recoding for version 0.4 & 0.5

Major changes are made in the game.

2. gameplays can be changed only at the beginning of each quarter of the total football matchup time.
3. the time frame is simulated & is scaled down from the original 90 minutes ( you only play up to 2-3 min in every match )
4. the game runs automatically every quarter.
5. In-game commentaries are given during the running game, this commentaries reflect your gameplay & the opponent's gamplay
6. winning the game depends on how the "player/coach" makes his gameplay against his opponent ( in 0.3, the opponent is computer)
7. mastering the gameplay settings will make you a success in this game
8. "how to play" is easy, mastering the gameplay tricks needs a little figuring it out

all new features will now be in version 0.3

here's a preview
- penalty kicks
- goal scoring commentary details
- teams will now have a distinct international style of gameplay

all rules of version 0.3 are additions to version 0.2, meaning all old rules apply.

I still have to check the version 0.2 software is equal to the version 0.2 rulebook.
if it complies then its a go.

Goal Testing

Team A & Team M versus each other using the latest version 0.2 (unofficial release).

highest goal scoring game - 9 goals (total from player & opponent)

matchup screenshot from ver0.2

although ver0.2 is not yet released, because I still have to add fouls , markings & free kicks.
but anyway here's a sample screenshot on a match with commentaries.

green is player.
red is opponent.
just hiding the team names to be safe :)

www.bgliga.com

a very similar to my concept game....
www.bgliga.com
I have registered to this game & started playing today.

I hope this game meets my expectations....

here are some of my comments about www.bgliga.com
GOOD:
- the display. it has cool layout, colors, pics & flash scripts
- game settings
- information displays

NEGATIVES
- a little complicated
- game results are automatic
- games are automatic
- flash animations of the Field is not so good

.... yet these are only my first impression comments, I still have to learn more from the game.

Here's the difference from Football by Quarter Online.
1.) complicated aspects are encapsulated.
2.) a time delay commentary, thus building excitement, just like a regular football match.
3.) both players are online & can change in certain periods of time.
4.) scoring is regulated just like a real football match.

Here are some of its similarities
1.) formations
2.) tactics

some settings in www.bgliga.com not included in Football by Quarter Online.
1.) pressing
2.) weather

this comments are only first impressions... this might still change.
thanks guys, now I have seen a game similar to my hobby project 

On the Next Step

After the release ver0.1 in C, here is the next steps.

1.) release of 0.2 ( additional features for ver0.1)
2.) code transfer to JSP ( i have to start from zero yet...)
3.) blog updates :)

about the code transfer to JSP... here's a bit of my background as a programmer.
- ver0.1 was released in C because this is my recent work project ( embedded, microcontrollers).
  this is the development environment setup I have right now.
- I have tried OOP programing in C++ & Java.
- I have not yet tried a web programing project or code from scratch.
- I have tried on JSP only on a training seminar.
- I just started doing my research on JSP. And if JSP can create "football by quarter online",
  by using Java codes, & a its good web application, then this might be release 0.3 or 0.4
- I still have to setup my JSP environment.

any comments & suggestion about starting to transfer this project to JSP just add a comment.
thanks!

Game Balance

I forgot...
one feature of this game is good game balance.
