match of the day is pretty random at times. once i got annecy-annecy. why is that?

Hi all! I just released a new update which replaces the Disqus comment threads with custom comments. This has the benefit that you can easily get notifications when other users reply to you or comment on an item you created (mods or squads). You can subscribe to comment threads by clicking the bell icon at the top of the thread.

In your account settings, you can choose to enable or disable email notifications. 

In later updates, you will get user profiles through which you can easily browse other user's content. 

With regards to the Disqus-threads that are now gone, I am looking into options to extract them and maybe still show them here for a while. 

Edit Nov. 2: New version is now live and includes user profiles.

bug: away goals rule doesn't apply in rematched matches.

match: barca-bayern (2nd match).

first leg was goalless and the second one was 1-1 but barca won on penalties when they should have won on away goals. 

also, league matches between the same teams are two-legged for some reason should you be logged in.

On injuries (planned): Some don't require treatment and time lost is lower in these (just seconds).

bug: when you log in and then keep the website closed for some time, you might be logged out. there should be an option called "keep me signed in" in the login page.

cool new comment system i guess

Hey, I doubt you'll see this, but Ill still mention my idea. I think you should make more stats for the character editor, like physical and speed. and add a goal tally for custom characters (all time, not in cups)

Hey Joshua,

I would like to ask if you can add something like '' share private mods to selected users'' coz i made a tournament with my 20+ friends and when they create squad and share me to implement in my game as host. all others can spy them from public search :) i realy would love to see something to stop it. Or if there is a way i dont know please let me know. thanks ;)

Yo Joshua, when would the custom players different year thing be possible. You promised me a few years ago that you could change the mod years if it is for custom players? Many friends have been asking to use the Classic mod for this year.

Thx!

Why is it not DISQUS ?

Hey Joshua, I got suggestions of gamemodes

N°1 - Career mode

N°2 - Online mode

N°3 - Women's World Cup mode

Hello Larsson

Can you add the teams of the Women's World Cup 2023 ?

why is the world cup page still there? it's been 10 months since the final

suggestion: option to disable all notifications.

Is their a spreadsheet or database available with players base stats?

Any options for unmark all notifications would be nice, now i need to click 1 by 1 for 30 notifications :D

I was thinking, during cup tournaments, there should be Injuries, what I was thinking how it'd work is when a player starts on a team to many times without being subbed, their risk of being injured increases, and the maximum percentage would be around 50%, and when it's reached it would spin for a random injury, if they were to play another game without resting.

so i had just created my modded clubs and I was playing it on the quick match mode but when I tried to create a cup using the clubs I did not have the option to choose the modded clubs

What the "randomize other attributes" button works for ? (in mod editing)

Probably it suggested before but do you think of adding player's match ratings and Man of the match feature? Match stats are awesome but plain player stats are not looking good i would like to see who played how at the end :)

Can we run all matchday at once instead of 1 by 1? i didnt find something like that and it would be nice to add aswell ;)

one more thing, i think this game deserve more management options in tactic menu. Not only pick a tactik and fill players in.

-Press intensity/type ( Contain- defending half- full court etc.)

-Pass style( long, to the wings, direct, etc.)

-Playing style ( Attacking, defensive, keep ball, counter attack etc.)

I suggest adding the missing formations in FC 24 from the fifplay website. E.g. 5-1-2-2. Most of the (none of the FUT-only) formations in FC are in the simulator.

suggestion: second yellow card icon should be a square split in two equal parts of yellow and red (like two triangles)

Can you make something a little bit like Player career mode or manager career mode?

Would be great to know who's leading for the most matches simulating (and how many). I'm ranked #110 at the time of writing. 

Hi Joshua! First I would like to thank you for all your work and say I really love what you do with it. It is really great!

I have some suggestions that I think will improve the experience using the simulator:

1. Substitutes: Right now the simulator takes random 3 players from the bench and bring them into the field, regardless their rating or position (except a GK). There should be an option to set up the 3 substitues while making the line-up (choosing the player who going out and the one who replace him). If that option is a bit comlex to create, at least the simulator should pick the best 3 players from the bench, the same way it picks the best 10 outfield players for the national teams. (I had a match when I put Mbappe on the bench for 'realism' and he didn't come in all the match).

2. Shirt Numbers: I think it will be cool and will improve the experience if each player will have a shirt/squad number. It won't affect the match, it will only be displayed on the line-up menu next to the players' position and in the match screen when the player do something in the game. In the national teams I guess it's more complicated so it can be automotic like the England national team thing when the starting 11 are always numbers 1-11.

(I know it can be really hard to go over every player and now add a number so if you want- my friends and I will be able to make an Excel/Google-Sheets file with the needed database of shirt numbers.)

3. Custom Nation's Flag: There is a bug for a couple of years by now that you can't see a custom nation's logo (with no difference if it's your mod or someone else's), and you just see the gray default badge. So it made me think- when fixing that, there should be no option while creating a new nation in the mod creator, and the nation's logo can be only rectangle that you can change its colors so it will represent the nation flag.

Again I will say that I love all of your work and and hopefully the simulator will be better and better. (And sorry if it is hard to understand me, English isn't my natural language)

The comment section is bugging sometimes for me. 

This happens after I get an error several times when I want to submit the reply. And when I refresh, I see my tons of my comments being submitted.

I feel like goalies being booked is more common than in reality. Besides excessive time-wasting (a bookable punishment not yet in the simulator that happens usually very late in the game), you should refer to law 12 - dogso.

Brother, love ur simulation system❤️❤️❤️❤️????????????????????????????????

Plz make a cricket simulator for cricket lovers like us❤️ love u

joshua i have a suggestion, since u added a way to see ur activity position, why not make a list that updates weekly to know the most active users on this website? might feel useless but its gonna be cool honestly

Hey Joshua,

Any chance we would set the game time zone to our location's time? coz its hard for me to set things up with how it looks now.

eg: here time in my location is 04.41 and the time shows in edited mods shows -3 hours.

And you this is unanswered :) Can we run all matchday at once instead of 1 by 1? i didnt find something like that and it would be nice to add aswell ;)

on substitutions: i think subs should be made when a player is tired, performing poorly or booked/risk of being sent off apart from tactical reasons. when subs in extra time are implemented, i suggest there should be a chance for last-minute substitutions, in almost all non-injury cases for penalty shoot-out preparation (sometimes even subbing off the gk)

bug: if you cancel an edit on a long message the message is clipped, forcing a reload

Small bug for notification icon. When there is a new notifications you can click on icon and it shows the text where you mentioned and if click on it you navigates there but notification still stands unread. to clear you have to go ''View all'' its better if we click on the comment it nagivates us also remove the notification alert

bug : squads tab alyways give an error tab 

Is that Woodwork stats cosmetic kind or not? coz almost every sim i see at least 1 :) its far from reality if it effect the gameplay.

I created a Group + knockout tournament. i would like to see all group fixtures but seems like i cant. why? i need to know who i will play next for a better strategy :)

Edit: dont know if its too much but i ned to roll back the simulated match. i ve click sim before edit lineups and all gone eternity :) the losing friend now asking a re-roll but i cant. I need this please...

joshua i have a question, if a subsititon happened, does the formation change or the player plays in the same position as the other player he got subbed in his place? and does out of position players impact on chances of scoring,etc

cool

This isn't a bug or anything, but when you make a squad, the AI will automatically chose formations and put the players on that you dont wont on the squad, and its kinda annoying because I have to change it before the match.

i have a question, when/if career mode comes out, will online also come out one day?

Can we add a calendar and a squad editor in competitions ?

okey i found a glitch :) i had to try this coz we are getting interesting auto subs during game.

i put 7 Goal Keepers to the substution and then this happened :D

Turkey has 7 GKs on bench here.

I finished my UEFA-project. All UEFA countries now have at least 4 teams! 

Enjoy simulating! (I'll still add more and more teams)

i've been working on this african teams mod, it has the best 32 african teams, if anyone wants to use it, but im currently working on players. https://matchsimulator.com/mod/48141/african-teams-in-work

Hey Joshua, I firstly want to thank you!

Secondly, I have a big idea that would level up the gameplay. Custom logos and existing logos for teams. It would be very nice if it would be possible to do it. 

Lecco (Italian Serie B) is missing.

Hello, I want to thank you for all the work you have done on this website!

Will you add the possibility to create a 24-teams tournament like the Euros or the AFCON for example? Second, is it possible, when you create a competition, to give a home advantage to just one team (the host)? I think it would be even more realistic

These two things will be very useful when people will simulate the Euros before, during and after the real one

Does someone experience problems during match simulations with the fast forward/skip to score-button? It pauses the simulation for me

Why cant the mods made by Larsson just be in the base game, they add lots of teams with good ratings and all the players. I also wanted to do some sort of career mode, but because you cant edit imported mods (obviously) i pretty much couldnt.

when will there be a button in the tournament simulate the entire tournament at once and when the career mode?

Joshua Please tell me this is doable...

dont know if its too much but i need to roll back the simulated match. In tournament i ve click sim before edit lineups and all gone eternity :) the losing friend now asking a re-roll but i cant. I need this please...

Can one of the community make a national team (I'm lazy)

Hi,i have an idea for My cups, because i want a ranking for team to know wich team the best is. Also player transfer for each player and Money for the teams, custom sponsors (Not oficial sponsors) and player salary

on injury time: i suggest there be a number below 45+1'+ and 90+1'+ (e.g. 5') that in the future can change when neccessary (e.g. to 7').

And that's finished ! Manchester City slaps Man United 3-0 !

Hey, would it be possible to integrate the most important Russian clubs in the game (like Zenit, ZSKA, Krasnodar or Rostow)? I'd like to put them in my Champions League :D Thanks!

Why ther is no 5 sub but only 3

Can you change from 3 sub into 5 sub

@RUDY_2011 Just incase you haven't saw my reply, please remove those unnecessary messages, it's not a chat party.

hi

I remind you the ceremony of the Ballon d'Or is today at 20h45

@RUDY_2011 just dont announce here, there are barely peoples watching the comments. Also, we can find all infos other than here. 

i suggest goalkeepers can score. virtually all examples: 

1. last-minute equaliser (even winner) after a set-piece situation (vast majority of cases involve a header)
2. penalty kick, usually 7-11th (depending in how many players are on the field) taker in shootouts
3. taking a penalty for their side
4. extremely, extremely rarely directly from a goal kick 

goalkeepers cannot score from a long throw, and the longest throw is nowhere near straight at the goalie (61m)

i also suggest the possibility of having tournaments with no extra time (except (even including the final), e.g. copa américa/libertadores/sudamericana (no extra time except the final) and leagues cup (no extra time at all, penalties in group stage)). not suggesting replays because it might be difficult (in the fa cup, which has a "weird" order (80 > 40 > 64 teams in the first three rounds, replays in third and fourth round). in knockout tournaments with odd number of participants, i suggest the team that receives a bye is the strongest one.

on injuries (planned): if a substitution is made due to an injury, there should be a white cross in a red circle in the top right of the sub icon. injury subs could be at half-time and i suggest players can be sidelined due to an injury in training.

I feel like there is a "first-half bias" where cards are more likely to be shown in the first half as well as a card bias -besides foul bias- when the weaker team has e.g. 6 cards and the stronger team has 0.

Messi is now the 2023 Ballon d'Or, 8th time !

I am thinking of adding something like a forum, where you can make your own topics and comment whatever you'd like. You could make topics to discuss real-life football, request mods, discuss cups/matches et cetera. How would you feel about this? And is there functionality for forums that I should not forget about?

On extended injury time (future): Want to clarify that it shouldnt be based off arbitrary rules of thumb which are also low. Already in mail but because of no response yet due to you being busy (not forcing btw) i posted it here.

minor issue: spelling mistake in notifications: "1 unread notifications" when it should be "1 unread notification".

bro, plz add jersey mod like home kit and away kit system, it will be cool. and add 4 teams group in 48 teams tournament. also can u add news report in tournament mod?

And Brother plzz Its my req plz add Bangladesh and like many small teams. btw this time just add bangladesh

can you pls create a penalty shootout mode

Hello brothers, can anyone make a Qatari Stars League mod with teams like Al Rayyan, Al Duhail, Al Sadd, Al Arabi SC?

This might be a stupid suggestion but maybe add icons that are in fc 24 to the website 

Hey Joshua,

Some of my friends who playing in my hosted tournament asked if we can put a ''play'' button instead of click on results to watch games. coz it spoils the final result and you know it kills the fun to watch. Can we have it?

Hey Joshua you could to do mod on 1 League Poland?

Hey joshua, guess what? I made my own match! (Its password protected btw so not sending link)

Bug: some members are members since november -0001. Also, missing user ids redirect to user/login for some reason.

Hey Joshua! Do you possibly have plans of making this a kind of "career mode" thing where it carries across multiple seasons, possibly with growth and shrinking of player ratings?

Hey Joshua, could you make it possible to add your own pngs/jpgs/imgs as custom logos for teams and even modded teams. It would be very helpful. Thanks!

hi joshua you should put all countries in of World
