About


Hi! I'm Joshua, the creator of Match Simulator.

This website was made as a hobby project in March of 2019. Since then, it has gotten a lot of interest from people all over the world. In December 2020 I found out that around 30K matches had been simulated, so I decided to take on the project again and try to make it even better.

If you like this project and want to contribute financially, that would be much appreciated! Any contribution helps me a lot and allows me to spend more time working on this project.

We can not add the FIFA Club World Cup event yet (will try to add it asap).

However, we were able to create an official preset! Check it out here: https://beta.matchsimulator.com/cup-preset/22245/fifa-club-world-cup*

Big thanks to Larsson for providing the missing teams and players that have now been officially added to the game.

*Also available on the regular website, you can find it here

could you add something like folders, i mean you have cups and just make folders to like sort different cups so when you create a cup you can also make a folder and then add that cup to the folder you want it in

 

hello thank you for the hardwork...

 

i wonder can you add setting to allow us to automatically set every match in "fast mode" ?

and also more design for team logo

thx you..

I like the idea for fast mode default

More logo customization is planned

On Venezuela Roster, there are 2 players, Y Soteldo and Y Sorteldo, please remove Sorteldo, with an R. Thank you.

Im guessing you have a pack active that adds either of those players, I cant find them

I do have a mod, but when I select Venezuela as a team in the league, it doesn't show "(mod)" after the team name

That doesnt necessarily have to happen, that is only for custom teams and nations. If you are on beta.matchsimulator.com, simulate a match with venezuela there and then go to the info-tab you'll see the packs that affected the lineups

Ah, yes the mod I have does affect this. Any way to change it?

You can deactivate the pack, but if its created by someone else the only thing you can do is post a comment on the pack asking him to fix if

Can you can add the posibility to have 5 or 6 teams in each group when we create a cup?

Can you add a bit more detail to the logos pls like more shapes (something like dynamo kyiv or milan) and outlines

Planned

Can you make it so that we can choose which teams start in the earlier round when there are not enough teams to all start at the same time, because it is so annoying wanting one team to start in the later round and them always starting in the earlier round

Yes, planned

Are you going to add new teams? From Japan and Qatar pehaps. 

Please see the FAQ

can you make a way so that i can transport a mod from a previous season into a new season. I have a mod with like 400 custom players and 32 teams that don't intervene with any real clubs or players. 

FAQ

Wow, Brazil like their real life form

I think that for the best you guys should add a system where you can make a custom club!

You can already, make a customization pack, then create club: https://beta.matchsimulator.com/customize/customization-packs

I am making a mod with Classic XI, European XI, Soccer Aid, and MLS All Stars

Vietnam 2-1 Cambodia gg

Do losses take into count the winning probabilities?

Im really not sure what your question is

I think he's asking if, during a competition, every time a team losses the chance of that team losing again increases.

I see, no it doesn't

Are you able to make that a feature?

Maybe, but not soon

what do i need for my mods to be on featured?

Good, realistic and relevant mods. I think.

One mod that I consider it should be featured is Ralph's mod: https://beta.matchsimulator.com/customization-pack/88669/new-teams. It already has more than 400 downloads, more than 1100 new clubs/nations and it is very realistic. He deserves full support.

Done!

For some reason whenever i try to make a new password it always says it works but then when I go over to the Beta game it keeps saying incorrect password or usename which i am putting in the same information in the Beta game as I put in this one, if anyone can help i will be very greatful

So you can login here but not on beta.matchsimulator.com?

I would really double check you are using the same credentials because there is no difference there...

Just asking, but has anyone got a good mod with Balkan teams i could try out?

search name of country and filter by year. if you can't find club you want to get make it yourself (beta gives you stats randomizer, so it's easy) or respond to me and i'll make that club (if I don't have it in other mod)

You can search for my mods (f.i. Montenegro, North Macedonia); but every mod has only 4-5 teams.

I just did that, thanks!

do you want the balkan top flight?

I could try and do that

https://matchsimulator.com/match/319635a0d7baaaf5/manchester-city-vs-tottenham-hotspur    best match i ever seen

 

Im just doing a ligue 2 playoff sim with the current standings and this is 3rd in Ligue 2 (Paris FC) vs the quarterfinal winner (USL Dunkerque)

Paris FC 8-0 USL Dunkerque

 

I thing good QoL would be red "!" next to clubs name (mainly in cup, because it suits best there) is squad of team is empty

https://beta.matchsimulator.com/match/663b6437f789462b/moldova-vs-argentina what tf is this worst nation versus best (moldova vs argentina) (bro Moldovas chance is 100(about 0%)

https://beta.matchsimulator.com/match/8119702e0f8e1e31/argentina-vs-moldova bro what tf is wrong with this setup (this is the rematch)

 

what

https://beta.matchsimulator.com/match/5285f98fd8acfac8/fc-midtjylland-vs-brondby-if

oh my f*kin god wow

WTF was this match? ????

https://beta.matchsimulator.com/match/bd8709922550ced4/chelsea-vs-fc-kobenhavn

Thats insane, especially over 2 legs

Not even that, Chelsea had 70% dominance in the Second Half only to get whacked 3-0 lmao

i havnt been  on this website in a long time

Yes, if you click Match settings then a dropdown will open with an option 'Lineups', set it to custom. The yellow button will turn to 'Edit line-ups', you can then select the tactics. 

In a cup it is a bit easier; you can either click the three dots next to a match to go to the lineup-editing, or click the team management button and select Arsenal, then select your tactic.

tnx

Joshua can you add a space where you can see the best players? It could be in the Teams menu. If you add it, PLS add so that you can see the best players IN your mods TOO.

My league with 100+ members is all asking for the feature to retire players! Please add it.

You can manually remove players from teams with mods. You could create a 'retired players team' in a mod and move players there if they retire.

If Joshua will add it, please note that this won't happen anytime soon. Joshua first wants to finish the beta-version, and then there will be other updates that have a higher priority.

Very good suggestion from Larsson here. To add to that, you can also create a Retired players country to prevent them from showing up in national teams.

For some reason, I can't edit lineups. Any reasons as to why?

Can you specify why you can't edit lineups? Cant you switch players? Cant you find the edit lineups button? Cant you..? Please be more specific

Sorry, I figured it out. My account kept logging out on it's own.

Crazy game where Costa Rica would be eliminated with a loss 

https://beta.matchsimulator.com/match/cd111cf78e487b74/indonesia-vs-costa-rica

Would've ended in heartbreak for either of the two depending on that penalty, really cool

I suggest you add injuries to make the simulator a little more realistic. The chances should be low but they can be events coming from yellow or red card fouls. 

Planned

I also feel like VAR would be cool for the people who watch matches or watch highlights, such as disallowed goals, yellows upgraded to reds, red cards being cancelled, etc.

just a question: When I play double knockout does home advantage counts for the final as well or i have to turn it off before the final?

Home advantage is turned off automatically for finals

Thank you

It's not letting me skip the games


 
 
                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
I dont understand what you mean

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
I have idea - an "?" somewhere in match info that'll inform from which mod this club/nation comes from. it'll ease me to eliminate mods with empty or repeated countries (because searching 50 mods blindly isn't something too nice)

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Yes I will add match info such as simulated by who and when and which mods impact the simulation

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
What's the date


Of Winter Tranfers update

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
I recommend you to import a mod with the winter updates. Joshua will first finish the beta.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
when you say winter updates do you mean December-February Winter because that time is Summer where I live in Australia

Wondering if there is a timetable for around when beta will be finished. Just seeing when winter transfers and/or updated player ratings will be added

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
There will soon be an announcement regarding the BETA release date. 


But after that there is a big list of new features, and I'm not sure yet how high updated ratings are on that list

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
where can I find the first ever version of matchsim?

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
You can't, it is not available

Hello is it possible if I suggest the search function. My first suggestion is the first name of those who only have their first name initial can be searched through their first name. For example, I can search K. Kvaratskhelia even if I already search Khvicha. Another suggestion is when searching players or teams with symbols like Ø, we can search them even if I type O.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
You should check out the BETA, there the second suggestion is implemented. Searching by first name is not possible at the moment as we do not store the first name

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Is it possible to simulate a tournament using both clubs and nations? That would be so cool!

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Dear Moderators!


I think it'd be a good idea to do an update:


The first thing is Penalty Event


Secondly winter tranfers


Next 40-120 rating


Moreover AFC, OFC, CAF, CONCACAF Champions League are also amazing


Also Mobile App is very comfortable!


Write back asap,


QWERTYUI


P.S. I think it's a good think to show goals and celebrations of footballers!

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Love your enthusiasm, but at the moment we are working on finishing up the BETA. After that there is another whole list of ideas and features that will come first. 


To address your points:


-penalty event is planned


-winter transfers: we will work on more frequent squad pdates after BETA is finished


-rating will not change since the underlying system is built for 1-99


-new events and presets will come


-mobile app is planned for longterm. It would take a complete rebuild which is not feasible atm

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
you should make it that it simulates the rest of the season like simulating the primer league the current table

Alvarez is literally a luck charm, he joined the Argentina squad in 2021 and they've won 2 Copa Americas, a finalissima, and a World Cup since. He won two premier leagues, an FA cup, and a UCL with Man.City, and he's doing quite well at Atletico!

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Guys, will it be possible to enter the match results, goals scored, assists, etc.? In short - the chronology of matches. There is an amateur tournament in my city, and if it were possible to record all the results of matches in this way, it would be awesome

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
I would love that too, putting the score of a match as an example, 2-0 for one of the sides and then the ai to play along with it would be amazing!!

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Maybe later, yes. But dont expect it soon.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Is it possible to simulate whole gameweeks/seasons at once, because it is frustrating having to simulate each match individually.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
That probably won't happen.
This is a message I wrote a long time ago as an 'automatic answer', it might be not 100% right anymore.



Will there be an update where you can sim a whole matchday at once? Joshua and I understand the question, but on the other side it's not a great idea. Remember that this is a hobby project from Joshua, it's not his main and most important project. So it should be financially attractive to keep on woking on Match Sim. So the ads are most important. Remember every simulation has an ad in it, so for the Premier League Joshua sells 38x10=380 ads. If you want to simulate a whole matchday/matchweek Joshua can only sell 38 ads. If he does that, well I can only say that we can't expect anything more from MatchSim since it isn't attractive enough for Joshua to work on. Will it be a Premium feature? Logically speaking, yes. !!! Joshua didn't confirm anything to me and others yet, so this is not 100%!
