Another patch ready for the weekend - what you'll notice most are the new next unread message and read all messages buttons, but this also fixes some things under the hood. You'll also notice players will run with the ball more when watching the match. Players still greatly respond to pressure, but players were barely running at all, and the logic needed to be updated. There's also been some minor adjustments to AI list management which will hopefully make for a more interesting offseason. Version 2023.1.17 (released 11 May) - Fixed(?): 31 December year rollover bug - Improved: changed national draft weights further for overage players - Improved: players should run with the ball more often - Improved: AI promoted rookies will not be immediately delisted - Improved: player retirement code - Improved: Older players less likely to be traded if happy + Added: Mark all messages read button + Added: Next unread message button
