This is a rough plan down the road. I know things look a bit delayed due to some mess up we did in setting up the framework for the new backend. But all well now and work is progressing at pace.

1. New user interface and backend
We are completely focused on this now, and all other work will be pending until this is done and rolled out. User interface doesn't mean anything fancy, but simpler and easier to use. Also backend is being rewritten in better technology for faster access and to lay down foundation for a mobile app in the near future. Website will also enable multiple languages, we are planning to launch with two languages with the framework in place to add more languages easily down the road.

Estimated deadline is season 40 give or take a couple of seasons. We had planned this for season 36 but unfortunately we are behind schedule.

2. Match simulator update
This will be a complete rework of the current match engine, which is already in progress. We were looking at the possibility of a 2d viewer but that looks not possible at this point, but we will be trying to include some kind of graphics too to make the match reports better. New sim will take care of a lot of drawbacks in the current simulator - like fixing the fitness/stamina model and giving more importance to tactics. This should be ready within 2-3 seasons after the user interface launch.

3. Other Features
There are plenty on our list, but major are updates to the staff system, team facility time and costs updates, more uses for medical centre etc. These will be done and launched as seasonal updates as we used to do before, we were pushing new updates every season or every other season until we started working on the major UI update.

And apologies for no updates for the past few seasons, hopefully the game will see big improvements in the near future.

The wait has been a bit long ;)

No polish team to choose? Leaving

Hi, maybe this came up and I missed it, but why does a team flagged for offsides always get the ball right back?

I was curious so I went back and checked a few match reports. Saw no such cases. Can you tell me which match you saw that?

About 2D visualization. I think it would be perfect if it was made like a button football table. Just watch the movement of the balls across the field. But I believe this would still require a lot from the server (I understand 0 about this)
Or it could be as Engin Demir once suggested, I don't know if exactly like that, but at least the region of the field where the play is taking place would be shown in real time. Maybe as a temperature sensor.

I think as a first step it would be nice to implement a match report on the same tab with the layout of the players. For example, you can organize a report in a separate small scrolling window.

When reading the text, it is not convenient to switch between tabs to understand where the opposing team's players are located.

Yep, exactly. Even if the players don't move, just highlight player with the ball on the pitch. Also may be put an arrow or a bar to indicate ball position. I guess that would be possible with minimum data stored.

I see it all the time. Not always, but quite often. Several times here: https://www.f4football.com/matches/report/85639

There is always at least 2 minutes difference between the offside and the next action in the match you posted. May be the match engine is designed like that, the attack ends with the offside and then it is simulation of next attack.

Any news in the new season 37?

Can I loan a player and then afterwards buy the same player if he is transferlisted? I know it was not possible earlier, but I also remember a change in the rules.

Yes it is possible. You can buy a player from the same team even if you have done a loan deal with them in the same season.

Any news for season 38?

Will new leagues be added soon?

Last season he ended at 84. Now he is 85. What do you mean by not increasing xp?

If you need to know how much he is gaining per match, give me link of any match and I can tell you precisely. Or you can check yourself if you have plus membership. It is hard to gain further when you are one of the top xp players in your matches.

Today he's increased. After 16 matches
I don't have plus and he've played every match. You can easly see

Last match he earned 0.05 XP, so indeed it will take him 20 games to gain 1 XP

The intensity of the individual XP gain is directly proportional to the average XP gained by the team and the time on the field. And it is inversely proportional to the maximum value and age
