<title>Season 39: change for coaches</title>
<link>http://www.maxithlon.com/varie/leggi_news_out.php?nid=345</link>
<pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 09:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Almost two years after first attempt to improve the coaching system, we decided to introduce some enhancements with a lower financial impact and an easier implementation.

Let's summarize the upcoming changes that will be effective from season 39:
- the skill values of a coach will be determined by the price paid (currently the price determines the range but skills are randomly picked). This measure is intended to reduce unpleasant surprises every time you hire a coach
- when recruiting a new coach you will be able to choose a secondary skill that will be 2 points lower than the primary skill. This is intended to provide more complete coaches and to allow users to choose multi-skilled training
- the training program will be customizable for each athlete instead of being generalized for every athlete followed by the coach. Each athlete will develop the skills in a way that will better suits his/her needs and the managers will be able to develop the potential in the best way.

The remaining points of the other proposed changes, regarding the maximum number of coaches and the coefficients for their wages, were dropped.]]></description>

<title>Maxithlon Tutorial</title>
<link>http://www.maxithlon.com/varie/leggi_news_out.php?nid=341</link>
<pubDate>Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:45:00 +0100</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[It is no mystery that the introduction to Maxithlon and the learning of game fundamentals has always been troublesome, leading many users to leave the game in the earliest stages.

We have been studying how to improve the game approach for a long time and, responding to users' suggestions, now we have developed a Tutorial. This tutorial will guide the user step by step in the early stages of the game, starting from team creation and explaining the choice of athletes, relay selection, National League line-up and so on.

This Tutorial is up and running and it has already been translated in most of Maxithlon's languages.

We hope this will help Maxithlon grow even better. ]]></description>

<title>Maxithlon App</title>
<link>http://www.maxithlon.com/varie/leggi_news_out.php?nid=340</link>
<pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Following the announcement of the upcoming Maxithlon App, which will be released in the next weeks and continuously developed during the whole 2013, let's see the details:

The Platforms
Android and iOS are the first choices. The App will run both on smartphones and tablets, adapting to the wide variety of available display resolutions. Blackberry and Windows Mobile were not considered so far. Nevertheless an implementation for those systems could be developed upon request of a considerable number of users.

The Application
The Application will be developed in a 2 stage process both for Android and iOS. The first phase will provide basic features to read Maxithlon data. The access will be granted by actual Username and Password. This choice has been made to build a stable base for phase 2, that will involve the release of many features to manage the team.
The App will support all the languages of Maxithlon and will provide offline caching capabilities in order to speed up web connection.

Work in Progress
So far the App core is working and available and the implementation of the Graphic Interface is being finalized.
So far these are the main features:
- View detailed team information
- View all athletes and results
- View coaches pool and the athletes they are currently training
- View season Calendar and search Competitions using filters

Release Date
By the end of this month a preliminary version of the Application will be released to a small group of beta-testers in order to be refined. Public release of version 1.0 (for phase 1) is scheduled by the second half of March.]]></description>

<title>New Nations for next season</title>
<link>http://www.maxithlon.com/varie/leggi_news_out.php?nid=331</link>
<pubDate>Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[As announced in news  "" starting at season 35 each Nation will have at least 1000 athletes. These athletes will be created in different days and placed on the market for at least one week. There won't be any 14 year olds among them. 
In order to avoid a flood of new athletes this process may take more than one season to be finalized.

Thanks to this innovation and considering the existence of the International League it will be easier for us to add new Nations. There are indeed 12 new Nations ready to begin their adventure in Maxithlon.

- al-Jazā'ir (Algeria)
- Bahamas
- Barbados
- Belarus
- Costa Rica
- Ecuador
- Miṣr (Egypt)
- Lëtzebuerg (Luxembourg)
- FYR Makedonija (Macedonia)
- al-Maghrib (Morocco)
- Nigeria
- Singapore

We kindly remind all users from these new Nations that are currently hosted elsewhere, to contact the staff in order to create a new team in their proper nation; so that they will start with a new team with newly created athletes but may maintain their team name.]]></description>
