Changelog version FCS 18 - v3.5.1.5

Implemented Community Suggestions:

1. Quality of new players The new players replacing the retiring ones are quite bad. These new players should have similar ratings to those who retire. Implemented
2. New age ranges in Scouting The search function would improve if the following ranges were implemented. From 15 to 19 years / from 20 to 24 years / from 25 to 29 years / from 30 to 34 years / from 35 years onwards. Implemented.
3. Promising talents It would be very useful to have the assistant coach informing you on a monthly basis if any of your young talents is overperforming In the Football School, Additionally, it would be great if the assistant coach could report about good players in your Youth Squad who are not yet training. Implemented.
4. More rotation The AI does not rotate the line-ups so sometimes the stars of the rival teams are too tired and that penalises the team. This should be improved for the CPU teams. Implemented.
5. Form affecting the tiredness algorithm Tiredness would be more realistic if not only the number of matches played consecutively and the minutes played in each of them are taking into account but also the current form of the player. This would imply that the better the player’s form is, the slower the player tires. Implemented.
6. Quick action in one-week injuries If a player has a one-week injury, the medical team should treat him so he is fit for the next game. Implemented.
7. Adjustments of the tiredness of new signings While it is normal that the signing of a new player implies extra tiredness, the level now is too high. It should be reduced so he can play from the first match. Implemented.
8. Winning bid In the cases where you receive more than one bid for one of your players, it would be useful that once you accept one of them, the rest of the bids are automatically removed. The game would gain in dynamism and clarity. Implemented.
9. Form in Football School after summer break When the new season starts, the quality loss of the young talents is too high. They are young so it should be easier for them to keep the form. Implemented.
10. Search by nationality I’d definitely implement a new search option: nationality. It would be really useful for us Argentinians as our squads can only have 5 foreign players. It would be useful as well in leagues like the English or the German, where the squad must have a minimum of national players. Implemented.
11. More options in specific training I’d like to have more slots for the specific training of my players. With a one-star training coach, I have six slots. This is clearly not enough. Also, with the best of the training coaches, I cannot train all my players simultaneously. I think one-star coaches should come with at least 11 slots and a five-star coach should let you train all the squad at the same time. Implemented.
12. Better end-of-the-match ratings The ratings at the end of the match could be more realistic if it took into account the performance based on the most important skills for each position along with the quality difference between the two teams. Implemented.
13. Statistics of all leagues I love the statistics menu. It helps me in situations like choosing the tactics for important games or making transfers based on the information of the players and teams of my league. However, I would include the statistics of all the rest of leagues. Implemented.
14. Signed player message If a player will sign for a new team in the next transfer window, it should be reflected on his profile (for example, in the section where the button “Sign” appears now. Implemented.
15. Message when the works in the stadium are finished Making the stadium bigger is one of my favourite options of the game. I just miss a message that informs me once the works are done. Implemented.
16. Improvement in the message “There is an interesting player” It would be very useful if the message informing you that there is an interesting player is not removed even after you enter his profile so you can monitor him closely for the period of time you decide. The only way to close that message should be clicking the CLOSE button. Implemented.
17. New message about player wanting to get a better contract When a player has a salary which does not correspond with his quality, the game should let you know that he wants to either renew his contract or leave the team. Logically, if there is no agreement for a new contract, his performance will not be as good as usual. Implemented.
18. New message about injuries I would implement a new message alerting you when one of your players has suffered an injury. Implemented.
19. New message about players being fit again Along with the previous message, the doctors should announce when the players are healthy again and ready to train and play. Implemented.
20. New rules for foreign players in Argentina Since January 2018, there is a new rule in Argentina. The clubs can sign up to six foreign players and up to five of them can play simultaneously (before this law, only 4 could play at the same time). It would be fantastic if this could be implemented in the game. Implemented. Reported bugs by the community already fixed: - Sometimes some players lose their skills very early in their careers (even at 27!). At that age, I think they should be still improving and not otherwise. Fixed. - Sometimes, during the summer transfer window, I do not receive any offer for the players from my club listed in the transfer list. However, when the summer transfer window closes, offers start to pop up. Fixed. - I had to play Barcelona in the third match of the preseason when actually I need to play them again in the Supercopa de España days later. Fixed. - When an “interesting player” appears, it is usually the same player and almost every time is just a free-agent player. It would be good to have more variety. Fixed. - In 2017, currently a match is set to play on Sunday December 31st. This is not adjusted to real life where there are no matches in Italy, Spain or France. Please adjust. Fixed. - The free-agent players are not signed instantly. Fixed. - In the “Injuries” screen, the form level is not readable. Fixed. - In the Highlights mode, when a player is injured, there is no message alerting you of this situation so you can not make the substitution. Fixed. - The players being substituted off the pitch are not rated. Fixed. - When playing this game, my computer overheats and I need to use a cooling system. Fixed. - Something strange happened to me. I noticed that some players on loans are at the same time transfered. The game does not allow your club to sign any loaned player but CPU clubs can and this should not be possible. Fixed. - The foreign player rule in Argentina only applies to your club. Only your club is obliged not to play 5 foreign players at the same time and not to include 6 of them in your squad. But for what I have seen, the rest of clubs can have as many foreign players as they wish. Fixed. - The Community Shield is played in the local team’s stadium. In real life, this match is played at Wembley. Fixed. - The two Mexican Supercopas are played in the local team’s stadium. This competition is always played in a neutral field, either in Mexico or USA with a crowd capacity of at least 20 000 people. Fixed. - Keepers in every league are displayed correctly in the statistics screen but not yours, even if he has played 70% of the matches. Fixed. - When playing with the manual training option on, once you get rid of one player taking part of your training plan, the AI resets the training as if the automatic training option was on. Fixed. - The loans are not saved. If you accept a loan for a player, when you load your game, the loan is not active. Fixed. - I played Barcelona in the first leg of the Supercopa de España and they have made their three substitutions. In the last minute of the match, Umtiti has suffered an injury and Semedo has entered the pitch, becoming the fourth substitution. This should not happen, they should have played with only 10 players for the remaining part of the match. Fixed. - Sometimes, in the Highlight mode, the AI has made a substitution taking an injured player off the bench. Even if they are on the bench, the AI should never choose injured players. Fixed. - You should not play twice the same team in preseason. For example, playing with Real Madrid, I have played Werder Bremen both in the first match and in Trofeo Bernabéu. Fixed. - Sometimes, when the rival keeper is sent off, the AI replaces him with a keeper from the bench and the team keeps playing with eleven players. When a keeper or a defense in the CPU team is sent off, the team should play with 10 players using a more defensive plan and adapt the players and tactics to the new situation. Fixed.
