v0.43.11 is now live
Fixed a bug where computer-controlled clubs could run with thin squads, so they now recruit back up to a full squad.
Fixed a bug where a free agent's wage in Player Search could differ from what he would actually accept, so it now shows his real asking price.
Fixed a bug that was causing too many mid-season departures of clubs.
Fixed a bug where a manager whose club won promotion out of the National League or was relegated too far down the pyramid could get stuck in the job, so the club now ends your contract with a clear letter explaining why, including in careers already affected.
Expanded Step 3 and Step 4 play-offs to six teams, matching the National League North and South format with midweek eliminators and a bank holiday final.
Fixed league tables so a club whose record is expunged finishes bottom of its division, with only the leftover promotion and relegation places decided by the table, and departed clubs clearly marked with the reason.
Fixed transfer and contract talks so the wage a player asks for is his real asking price rather than a padded guess.
Fixed a bug that stopped a club from completing a permanent transfer for a player it already had on loan.
Fixed a bug where a screen that failed to load could leave you stuck, so it now shows a calm message with the option to try again or go back.
Improved the Squad screen so player availability for your next match accounts for suspensions and injuries in that specific competition, with a clear reason shown for each unavailable player.
Sped up busy match days by fixing a slowdown in how the game works out each side's recent form.
Sped up starting a new career by making the game work out staff histories and homes more efficiently.
Sped up the Load Save screen so it opens much faster when you have a lot of saves.
Sped up match days further by fixing a slowdown in how the game checks which named players are out on loan.
Fixed a bug where a club leaving the football pyramid could freeze Continue if it had open staff adverts or scouting assignments.
Fixed season changes so promotion and relegation now stay consistent across every route in the playable pyramid.
Fixed ground improvements so a finished project now carries its new ground grade into later seasons and is reflected in grading.
Fixed a bug where one failed transfer could undo other clubs’ completed signings on the same day.
Fixed loan offers so they lapse when the player has already gone out on loan elsewhere.
Fixed older careers so saves from the early beta and version 0.43.5 or older can open again.
Reduced how often other clubs approach you about a new job.
Fixed a bug where clubs leaving the football pyramid could leave behind open transfer, loan and media arrangements that disrupted later decisions.
Sped up season changes by streamlining how fixtures are prepared.
Improved staff ratings in existing careers, with Player Judgement now shown for scouts and assistant managers.
Fixed a bug where leaving an opening job approach unanswered could let the same club return too soon, so it now counts as a refusal and the club waits before trying again.
Fixed a bug where a loan agreed near a season change could be recorded under the wrong season, so it now uses the season the loan actually starts in.
Fixed a bug where a club getting a loan player back never updated its transfer plans, so those plans now refresh as soon as the loan ends.
Fixed a bug where a manager whose club won its league or was promoted through the play-offs into League Two could still take the normal reputation hit for being sacked, even though the job only ended because of the promotion.
Fixed a bug where a job approach that ended without your answer, such as the club withdrawing or hiring someone else, could leave a dead Accept or Decline letter in your inbox that blocked Continue.
Sped up Player Search so sorting and filtering by wage is much quicker.
