Below you can read Update notes - Part 1: New features and important fixes.

Enjoy the new features and Good luck in Season 3! 🍀😊
NEW FEATURES
1. Added VIP feature: Reserved spot in diamond cup + 1 free additional team registration (2 spots per Manager)
2. Added Diamond Cup (DC) forum category
3. In the players page - Training view, players overall rating is highlighted when it is increased during the last training session
4. Live, playback and overview match scorers view improved – scorers are aligned left when home team scores, scorers are aligned right when away team scores, each scorer is written in a separate row and in the order of goal minute
5. Live and playback match commentary improved - added a blue/red square next to the team name to indicate if match commentary is about home or away team actions
6. Live and playback match crucial events display improved – apart from score/scorers display, added display of goals, injuries, red cards, yellow cards and substitutions next to the player name in the lineup when such actions occur
7. Created pages for three announced International competitions: Champions Cup, International Cup and Conference Cup
8. Completely restructured the competition format to be aligned with current real world format, this firstly includes addition of seeding pots, four pots of nine teams. As your teams/nations still don’t have CC score, number of active players has been taken as a parameter determining league strength. First pot in Champions Cup is filled with teams that earned a guaranteed spot in the competition and that finished as champions of the most active leagues. Rest of the champions and second placed teams that earned a spot in the Champions Cup are placed in the second pot. Rest of the pots will be filled after the Qualifying Round. All pots for International Cup and Conference Cup will be filled after the Qualifying Round based on the league activity parameter.
9. Added the two-leg Qualifying Round to all international competitions. The qualifying rounds will be played on day 2 and day 4. There are 40 teams that will participate in the Champions Cup qualifying round based on the spots earned in the previous season. 40 teams are split into 20 seeded and 20 unseeded teams based on the league activity parameter, while all SIM FCs are automatically set as unseeded. 20 seeded and unseeded teams are randomly paired and will play two matches in order to earn their spot in the Champions Cup and be allocated to the Seeding Pots. If after two played matches the result is a draw, the second match will end with a penalty shootout to determine the winner. The same procedure exists for the International Cup, but with 32 teams paired into 16 qualifying matches, and Conference Cup with 40 teams paired into 20 matches. Teams that lose in the two-leg qualifying round earn their spot in the lower level competition, while 20 teams that lose in Conference Cup Qualifying round are eliminated from further competition.
10. Added new trophies for all competitions, currently you can see the amazing new trophy design for League Champions, National Cup winners and our first Diamond Cup winner.
11. League prize money rewards are increased. For Season 3 placement on the standings, prizes will be increased one more time reaching their final values that will not be changed in the future.
IMPORTANT FIXES:
1. Match overview and league update is done approximately 5 minutes after the game instead of previous 15 minutes
2. Removed effect of penalty shootout performance on the player and goalkeeper match rating
3. Removed shots number increase for shots during penalty shootout
4. Aligned player lineup order to be the same on the players page and in the lineup page
5. In sponsorship page the countdown for receiving an option to get new sponsorship offers is increased from 24h to 48h
6. In sponsorship page the countdown for receiving an option to get new sponsorship offers is now visible on mobile phone portrait view
7. Fixed issue in training page where in case a new player is bought, his last training session is shown instead of the teams last training session
8. Removed bug where it was possible to request friendly from SIM FC or an archived team
9. Removed bug where a sponsor was visible on the team overview page after expiry
10. All transfers have been moved by 24h to annul the maintenance period
11. Removed bug where yellow card number was accumulated to total yellow cards when player got a red card in the game
Kind and Sporty regards,
Marko (DS Development Team)

Nice! Good job, interesting update! 🤩
I have a question: I noticed very a lot 31 years old players are retiring, It should be from 31 to 39, It's weird so much retiring at 31. Is it normal?

Thank you Fox! There is much more to come, so we can complete everything that we planned in the past 14 months, but it will take 2 or 3 more seasons of intense work and implementation to reach that point 😊
Yes, you noticed correctly and that will be presented into Season 3 update - Part 2 notes.
Last EOS we had minor bug that disabled players to announce their planned retirement and after fixing it, players that should announce retirement 56 days ago, did it yesterday with other players that supposed to do that on S3 update.
So actually one gruop of players played 1 season longer then they should.
