Love the age change thing, adds another layer to the management of the game.

When you are selecting orders, the game even shows you who is available or not.

Yeah same, I understand some of the gripes with it, but players 'disappearing' shouldn't really catch you more than a couple of times. A warning for the more casual users might be a good idea though

Yes, that makes sense.

Sorry, but I'm really not a fan of the new age functionality. I've been caught out a couple of times now with youth players disappearing mid-season and it's cost me at least twice. Going to lose again today as a result. I'm pretty much on top of things, but this thing gets me! Love everything else, just really not this.
Would you prefer to not have them all season or possibly up to an extra 13 games?

Would you prefer to not have them all season and have no chance of using them like before or possibly use them up to an extra 13 games extra per season?

I don't think that was the complaint being made (not that I agree with it). In the old format everyone moved at EOS updates and that was that, now not being able to log in for a week can mess up your orders if you haven't prepared.

As long as you grasp what the .0 to .14 decimals mean on each player's age then you can still prepare for the future weeks. (This may need to be taken elsewhere)

Regarding the new form update, will it be calculated week to week or over say a 4 week block like rankings?
Don’t want to see a player make 3 tons in 3 weeks then have one bad knock or cop a trigger talent first ball duck and drops form, that’s not bad form that’s just bad luck
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere

Its done weekly but in the example you gave even if he had 2 ducks the form wouldn't be a noticable drop to be of major concern

The next one to look at me does he get banned too? Boscorp or something
Like that
Recent visitors are displayed on your club homepage. Dhaka had visited the previous manager to you back in November 21 before you started to play on Sunday.
I show up as a visitor as a result of looking at your club after your post on Sunday.
There are many good reasons for managers to visit your club. It is not a bad thing.
Have fun and enjoy the game, I see you have an affiliate club based in South Africa...no doubt we shall p lay some time in the next few seasons in seniors or juniors.
More likely in youths as will be training all my players from scratch , can’t see the sense of training someone else’s mistakes
Returning for another crack at the game?
Good Luck

With players not being released from Nat duties until after the squad for the ODI tour needs to be locked in, what do we do if we need to drop someone on tour to bring in another player for the next tour.
Thankfully I don’t need to do this this tour but was very very close to being caught out by this, the player I wanted to bring in for a current touring player has only just missed selection, and I know it would be a rarity but it could happen due to form.
Do you need to release players sooner from a tour to avoid this possibility?
Or change tour weeks so they don’t overlap giving managers a week to breath before having to select another touring squad?

You do have a squad of 30 so should be able to work around it
We did mean to move the third tour back a week from this season but it got through before I remembered
We will sort it for next season
