**Instant Match Calculation** - AI was auto-subbing user players — fixed - Numerical disadvantage after red card stronger (~3:1)

**Contract Negotiations** - No instant departure on failed extension - Max. 7 years, one negotiation per player per season - Salary no longer drifts downward

**Cards & Events** - Yellow-red without redundant double display - Followup events use engine flags, no more false followups - "Goal from corner" / "Goal from cross" correctly distinguished
