NEW FEATURES
1. Added special time limited offer +10% 💎 on every DS Diamonds purchase!
2. The Summer Edition of Diamond Cup has arrived! This special competition will occur during the middle and the second half of the Season 5. There will be more information in advance, so everyone can join it on time.
3. Added new VIP feature – in transfers page there is an option to check the Shortlisted option, which then shows only shortlisted players in the transfer list, making the bidding smoother.
4. Added a grey strap next to the players being sold by your team to clearly distinguish them on the transfer list.
5. Added a highlight for a match in the fixture page that is played today (if no match is played that day from the fixture, no match is highlighted).
6. Added the player that got a red card and minute to display below the match playback/live view as well as the match overview. As one of the key events during matches, now it will be easier to track which team received the red card, as well as at which point during the match.
7. Added weather icon to match playback/live view as well as the match overview. As one of the conditions that affects match attendance, now it will be clearer to track.
8. Added day when matches listed in Latest Result and Next Match take place for League matches.
9. Added day when matches in all phases of CC,IC and CF competition are played.
10. Added the number of spots each league gets for next season International Competitions to the 5-Season Nation Ranking table. The number of spots for each rank is the same between seasons. CC represents direct spots in the Champions Cup, while CCQ, ICQ and CFQ represent the number of spots in the qualification for each competition. This is directly mapped to the colored straps visible in the League Table.
11. Modified trophy display in the Overview page, to make the page less cluttered, instead of showing multiple trophies won for the same competition, one trophy is displayed. Every single trophy that the team has won is still displayed on the Trophies & Legends page.
12. Added a blue marker with the number of times a trophy is won in the upper right corner of the trophy displayed on the Overview page.
13. An arrow with a link to the Trophies & Legends page is added to the Overview page's Trophy Room segment for the more detailed view.
14. Expanded the Prize Money segment in the Financial Report, now it is possible to see how much the team earned from League, National Cup and International Cups separately.
15. Added team CC points to current season Seeding Pots and sorted teams according to the points. Keep in mind that in the Champions Cup some teams with lower CC points can be placed in the first and second pots if they received a guaranteed CC spot by being a Champion or Runner up in the leagues with the highest National CC score.
16. Changed the color of straps in the Champions Cup, International Cup, and Conference Cup pages to visually distinguish them.
17. From this season all trophies, including the National Cup will be received during the season update and visible from next season day 1.
18. Implemented at the end of the first week of Season 4. Slightly reduced the chance of getting injury for all player injury-prone levels equally, slightly shortened the maximal possible injury length, and slightly reduced the probability of getting most severe injuries for all player injury-prone levels equally.
19. Additionally, a very slightly reduced chance of getting injured for all player injury-prone levels equally.
20. Slightly reduced chance for getting a red card in all circumstances, for all player aggression levels, and for all referee criteria equally.
21. Youth Academy: Noticeably reduced chance of pulling youth player with potential - None, and slightly reduced chance of pulling youth player with potential - Terrible. Those percentages are systematically distributed as an increased chance of pulling youth player with potential Very Poor and Poor and with very slightly increased chances for pulling youth player with potentials Below Average and Average on much higher Youth Academy levels.
22. Added an alert to inform managers that the maximal number of scout reports has been reached, 100 for regular managers, 200 for VIP managers.
23. Modified player search to only show players that are in active teams and/or on the transfer list. Not-signed free agents and retired players are omitted from the list.
24. Added all Nations/Regions to the 5-season Nation Ranking, previously those with a score of 0 were not displayed.
25. Included step in Season Update which removes all stale Training/Youth Pull/Sponsorship notifications. Only the last received notification is left. Transfer, VIP and additional team-related notifications are not deleted.
26. First World Cup Season is moved to Season 8, until young players are more developed. The World Cup campaign for participating nations is planned to begin in Season 7.
27. Players from expired teams (mostly free extra teams from Season 1), during Friday (day 2) will be rescheduled with new auction times arranged during the next week to avoid overloading the website and the potential website crashes.
IMPORTANT FIXES:
1. Removed the 4-1-3-2 Wide Formation, as it is same as 4-4-2 Holding.
2. Penalty scores/misses in live match were displayed with the goal icon next to the player name, this is now removed, and penalty shootout info is completely and only visible when the match overview is shown.
3. Modified live match functionality to prevent skipping receiving blank comments and skipping some important actions until refresh.
4. Fixed issue that sometimes caused incorrect scouting of youth players in the Youth Academy page.
5. Fixed issue that sometimes caused an artificial +1 jump in player rating during training, because of small miscalculation of gained skills. The skills were correctly set, just the end rating was sometimes miscalculated.
6. Fixed bug that sometimes led to not showing transfer sum in player page stats – International Cups.
7. Removed Sim FC teams from the Eternal ranking list and EoY Award ranking list.
8. Fixed a bug that caused some deviations in the selection of the first five players that participate in the penalty shootout. If any of the five players is not in the starting 11, a replacement player is picked. If the penalty shootout requires more than 5 players, the rest of the participants are chosen from the other 5 players available.
9. Fixed a bug that occurs when a manager takes over a Sim FC that participates in International Cups. Last season manual intervention was required to align these cases, now the system handles it automatically.
10. Fixed a bug that occurred sometimes for 2-leg CC/IC/CF matches where an incorrect match status was displayed in the fixture. It was merely a visual bug that didn’t have an effect on game functionality.
11. Fixed visual bug that led to overlap of stat names and bars in the desktop view of the transfer list and player search list.
Kind and Sporty regards,
