Another mostly bug fix patch, especially around the match simulation. The one feature you'll definitely notice is a new 32x simulation mode, which from the number alone will tell you is twice as fast as the 16x patch!
Most of these are still bug fixes - hopefully some new features will be introduced in the near future, especially online commissioner options, which is the biggest feature left that didn't make it in by release day. More match simulation tweaks are also planned as well, starting with better AI coaching in terms of defence.
Version 2023.1.8:
- Fixed: teams were draining scouts from the scouting pool
- Fixed: Ball trails were only appearing in even quarters
- Fixed: Kick in takers selected mid-match should now properly take
- Fixed: Minor bug with number colouring
- Fixed: Small team crests weren't appearing in the history screen after a loaded game
- Improved: Logic regarding kicking into space
- Improved: Can now turn ball trails on/off
- Improved: Very slight update to teams and players database revolving player potential and kit clashes
+ Added: 32x speed sim mode
