We’re always grateful for the contributions and ideas from the community. Thank you for your involvement and support, we're looking forward to your comments and ideas!

THERES A LIGUE 1 EVENT GUYS

https://matchsimulator.com/event/30/ligue-1-25-26

MY SECOND EVER 10-0

Took me 2 years but I got a 10-0 result after about 20 games 9-0 and 35 games 8-0

https://matchsimulator.com/match/f6ba034db2d7333c/san-marino-vs-england

Why dont you add icons and heroes

i could that for a mod pack

 

done with icons

I am in shock...

The matches are crazy, especially since brazil lost 3 in 3 and hakimi salvaged a point for Morocco after scoring 2 goals after the 80th minute and stones scored in the 38th minute and scored an own goal one minute later in the semis.

ATLETICO MADRID 6-0 BARCELONA WITH 3 OWN GOALS

ATLETI ONLY HAD 3 SHOT ON TARGET

https://matchsimulator.com/match/b1dfac5f530029e9/atletico-madrid-vs-fc-barcelona

cheers. 

also if you wanna make st johnstone for the scotish championship since you have ratings that would be appreciated

Bro Barca are so bad in these sims just look at this:

https://matchsimulator.com/cup/league-table/1785754/uefa-champions-league-2025-26

Yeah they got absolutely screwed on the tactics, I put vini on Barca and they got like 8th  (in La liga) cuz everyone had to change their position

Is it possible in 25/26 version in pack to release player as free agent?
Previously, afair, there was a team "Free Agents" where players could be "transferred"

You can just create a new team Free Agents and move them there!

Can we choose which teams play in the qualifier round prior to the group stage?

Not yet, but it is planned

whats the next update gonna be?

Can you increase the saved matches limit for free users? I think you should especially since you just deleted 50M matches, freeing lots of space

No sorry, that will remain the same. The 50M cleaned up matches is just the matches records only. A saved match contains all the match details, events and progress. 

nvd123 have you made the national league and scottish teams or should i start rn

 

I added St. Johnstone to Ralph's New Teams mod but that's it

Let me know if you want me to do them or not 

i can just add you as a second owner to the 2 packs

Hi! Joshua, can you make a function so that you can choose the score, who scored, substitutions, etc... Even if you say that it will not be interesting, you can add it to premium

That might actually be a premium feature at some point!

I'd love to rig matches

Put in the 3rd goalie and reserves in the clubs...but change the positions too, so for Real Madrid put a 60 rated Cb into ST and a 57 gk into RB

UECL RATINGS PACK (better ratings):
Will be edited throughout the entire season

https://matchsimulator.com/customization-pack/153783/conference-league-ratings

I deleted my last comment to prevent spam

Thanks for removing that. No need to be so dramatic, and good that you decided to change it yourself! Tell me, whats wrong with the ratings?

I feel like some players and teams are rated waay too low

Specifically Lincoln, Rijeka (probably the worst one imo), KuPs, and a few others

I haven't even looked that deep, most teams are alright and I was a bit dramatic but some aren't very good

1. Rijeka below Kairat (?????)
2. AEK Larnaca, Omonoia, Shkendjia need buff

3. Key players from qualifiers need buff
4. Hamrun, Breidablik, and Lincoln should be almost the same
5. Celje was also very bad, they made the quarterfinal last year
6. Key players for a lot of the tiny teams were underrated by 1-4 overall (some bias in that because of FM though lol)

go make a mod

 

Read the first comment the link is there bruh

you deleted your "first comment"

dude if you scroll up you will see

UECL RATINGS PACK (better ratings):
Will be edited throughout the entire season

https://matchsimulator.com/customization-pack/153783/conference-league-ratings

I deleted my last comment to prevent spam

let me take a look. i might make my own mod then

 

Ligue 1 event please :)

Just so all top 5 league are there

Hi Joshua, I have subscribed the premium. Unfortunately I have to say I was hoping to find ALL Leagues in the Event Section. A little bit dissapointed over here. It would be dope if you can fix that asap.  NO hate, just some advice from a longtime follower! :)

Also all english lower Leagues please (League Championship,League One,League Two) and european lower leagues (such as switzerland,romania,france 2, spain2,italy2,belgium1,sweden1,portugal1,netherlands1,poland1,turkey1,scotland1,germany 3,germany1,germany2,norway1) Thanks :)

go to cup presets im sure people have already made some of those

 

Hi, great to have you!

All is a lot, though... The events are limited to the most popular leagues. However, when you make a custom cup you can now use the Add by league function to instantly add the participating teams to your cup. Hope that suffices

If you do one a day, it ain´t a lot :) But if the limitation is technical, I understand. 

Can you program that we can change the season of our customization packs? Too lazy to create a similar one in another season

long term goal is the ability to copy players from a pack so be patient!

Hey, can you move the full matchday simulation for free users too? If I can I'd buy the premium but my parents don't let me

Please see the FAQ, there is a reason that the matchday sim is a premium feature.

Hello! One question: i know that is unlikely that you will add new nations to Match Simulator (because it´s in the FAQ), but, since you added a team of Gibraltar and, now, there´s 15 players from this nation, will you add Gibraltar soon?

only thing you could do here as a user is to make a mod pack and make the gibraltar team yourself

 

I know, I saw multiple times the FAQ. But, as Joshua added that team, I thought if he would had it.

if you want i could quick make them for you

Import new teams mod by Ralph8989

Me and him already did it :)

cheers

What a World Cup final https://matchsimulator.com/match/6e662452809e4b7f/morocco-vs-belgium

(Morocco had the easiest road to final)

 

Epic, thanks for sharing

Conference League is now available as well:

https://matchsimulator.com/event/29/uefa-conference-league-25-26

Enjoy!

Hi Joshua, I want to automate the process of adding football teams, players, and national teams. I know you're a programmer, but I'm not very knowledgeable about it. Is it possible to write a script using Python?

That is not possible on this website.

https://matchsimulator.com/match/cd268b55ed5ed91a/bosnia-herzegovina-vs-england in the final

lol

Joshua, could you add the Conference League as an event so that each team plays the same team in real life?

He said it might be coming

Its live now!

Iceland do a comaback from 4-1 

https://matchsimulator.com/match/3923d56fef64383d/israel-vs-iceland

cheers

 

yeah even i coudnt believe how they did that

https://matchsimulator.com/match/89c7b7df923b2c6a/athletic-club-de-bilbao-vs-qarabag

I get Qarabag were the underdogs, but what is this ?! To make things worse, Bilbao also aren't playing brilliantly!

Hey joshua i was wondering if you could add managers to the game 

like we have pep guardiola he has his own tactics and we can create managers or change how managers tactics are or even changing their clubs would be fun too

I agree it sould be fun. But i'd first need to get all the teams default tactics from somewhere, then process that in the match engine. Then I'd need to get all the available managers in the world, and also get their skills and preferred tactics and process that in the engine as well. At the moment, this is simply not possible

yeah, I agree with you but just like clubs you can keep adding them season by seaason + you don't have to add all of the managers 

Where is Paris FC - Lorient in today matches?

not highlighted. you're fine brother

Hello! Can I choose the score of the match that I want?

No, that is not possible

best we can do is mods. make a custom pack for the team or players you wanna buff or downgrade

But where is the live counter?

It's not there yet. This is also a warning to not spam this comment thread. If you have multiple things to say, just say it in one comment or even edit your comments if you have additional thoughts.

Ok warning taken thank you

btw why was there maintenence

See the changelog. Database maintenance.

2 things

1: from what I am understanding does this mean the "Stats" page is real-time or will be real-time

 

2. WHY did you remove the daily record im sad I wanted to break mine (at least that's what im understanding)

1.Maybe, yes. But it is used for now to calculate the total matches at the end of each day.
2. That number was calculated on the fly, so required a full matches table scan. That is also why profile pages did not load so quickly (try it out, visiting for example Samuele's profile took ages before, is now nearly instantaneous). There was no way to calculate it for everyone, and since I will be cleaning up records from the matches table the number can no longer be retrieved on the fly. 

Bottom line: some things simply weren't built for large adaptation, and now I have to do the maintenance on it.

 

alright will it ever come back?

Maybe, but you would start at 0 again.

Changelog says 3.14.0 at the bottom of the page but nothing is there for 3.14.0

Some patience my friend

alright hopefully something was added/changed

Christian Pulisic 7 goals in one game

https://matchsimulator.com/match/1c21190635786cff/milan-vs-seattle-sounders-fc

hi.  i have an idea. Maybe add one that after each game then calculates a score for each player from one to ten, including tens? You see this in the lineups (after the game, of course) and it will always show you the outstanding player of the game and his score. In the trophies, you could make another category of "best average score."

match rating, it's being considered but it would probably be a premium feature

Hi Joshua, in Korea K League 1 the team Sangju Sangmu have changed to Gimcheon Sangmu since 2021. Please check

Changed it, thanks

When we are editing player. There is overall stat and other specific stats. Is the player get better if I only raise the overall and not raising the specific stats? What is the relationship between them?

overall matters more in standard mode where overall is accounted more. in beta, the stats themselves and positions matter MUCH more. so say a player is 80 rated and a cdm with 70 on all stats. In Standard, he would be accounted as a 80 overall. In beta, If he is out of poition, he wont be as crucial of a player and will be nerfed as the rating dosen't matter as much.

Check the FAQ for any additional questions regarding the differance between Beta and Standard match systems.

This comment was deleted.

wdym. stats are in lineups and theres a tab for team stats in a game. it's also tracked by team in a cup

I've officially done it! The pack with all teams from San Marino and the national team is ready. 

https://matchsimulator.com/customization-pack/151378/san-marino-2025-26

Are the teams from San Marino??

Kinda. A lot of teams are in the surrounding area outside of it but yes. There is teams from San Marino

In general, all the teams and San Marino that currently exist are here. There is only one top league with 16 teams + I added the national team.

Yes, they are

Ts some dedication

yes bro. his mods and mine are very dedicated

theres only 113 for 25/26. to access the rest change the year to 24/25, 23/24, etc.

ok, thank you

how do you change the year?

At the top, next to the search bar, there is a version dropdown

ok, thank you

hello, for some reason i can't access my packs, but sometimes i can, is this a common bug happening or is it new?

what platform are you on? mobile (apple or android) or desktop (windows, apple, chrome)

 

desktop apple

Its the same problem. You just have to change to the correct season

Is there a way to pay subscriptions with Google play card? If so how do you cancel it so it doesn't charge you again next month

I dont know, you can click the subscribe button and you'll see the available payment options. 

Once the subscription is active you can cancel in Account settings > Billing (by clicking Cancel or by going to Manage subscription and cancel there) or on the confirmation email you will get the cancellation option as well. You can cancel straight away and still have access until it expires

yes you can if you are on chrome or android

also if it sees your account cant pay next month like you want it will automatically end your subscription. or just to subscriptions in the google play website or app and cancel it there

You can’t simulate conference league games in today’s matches properly. Some teams have no players so it is instant win for the other team
