Hello,

We've have just released a new update of the game which should drastically improve the time taken to save your careers (divided by 10 on some laptops).

The updates also contains several bug fixes and optimizations around saving/loading careers.

We are very grateful for the feedback we've received in the last days which has helped us finding the bottlenecks in the saving process.

A new career is not needed to get the faster saving time.

Enjoy the game!

Hello,

We've just released a small update of the game which will fix several bugs. You don't need to create a new save to have the bugs fixed.

• Fixed players playing with their club and national team at the same time

Hello,

First of all we'd like to thank you for your amazing feedback over the last weeks.

A new update of the game is now live, it will improve drastically the simulation scores. The differences between played and simulated games has been fixed and several adjustments have been made to improve the realism of simulations (number of shots taken per game, %s...).

We will keep working on reported bugs and will keep improving the simulations :)

Besides the changes around the italian leagues, a new career is not needed.

Here is the full changelog:

• Improved rotations with fouls
  
• Improved differences between played and simulated games
  
• Fixed evolution of the score when simulating parts of 3D games
  
• Fixed slow pages when fetching persons
  
• Fixed saving the age of persons
  
• Fixed simulated games having lower scores than played games
  
• Fixed formation not properly applied in 3D games
  
• Scores in the American league improved
  
• Fixed schedule of Italian league 2
  
• Fixed cup in italian second division
  
• Improved layout of stands information on small resolution
  
• Fixed saving of colors in the stands of the arena
  
• Fixed saving of the number of seats in the stands of the arena

We wish you a great end of the year!

Hello,

We're glad to release the first big update of the year. It contains numerous updates in the simulation algorithm.

Our focus has been to improve how the players behave in the games (simulated and played) to reach a higher level of realism. You will for example note that Point Guards will shoot much less compared to the other players with the update. Your offensive leaders will receive more balls and take more shots!

In addition to that we've improved the shooting percentages, the number of turnovers and steals per games, the number of assists, or the rotations from the AI (to avoid benching the best players too much for example).

We'll keep focusing on the simulations and the bugs in the next updates. Our goal is simple: improve the simulations and the realism of the games.

As announced on discord, we'll also release a new version of the dataeditor soon fixing several issues and allowing the community to edit the sponsors!

Have a great evening!

Hello,
