CM-021 Records Fixed · Live
Player report

“The championship record should be W4–0D–1L from five matches, but the displayed record is wrong.”

What changed

Win, draw and loss totals are now calculated directly from completed fixture results, preventing draws or completed matches from being counted in the wrong column.

CM-022 Transfers Fixed · Live
Player report

“Make offer is greyed out for some players and I don’t understand why.”

CM-023 Navigation Fixed · Live
Player report

“Transfers appears in news stories but clicking it opens nothing. Tyler Rishton also wouldn’t open.”

What changed

Transfer stories and inbox actions now route to the correct screen, and linked player names reliably open the matching player profile.

CM-024 Board Fixed · Live
Player report

“I trimmed the squad and moved under budget, but the board still blocks off-season transfers.”

What changed

The board now reassesses transfer headroom after contract renewals and squad trimming, before the next recruitment round begins.

CM-025 Language Fixed · Live
Player report

“‘A point gained’ is football terminology, not cricket terminology.”

CM-026 Team selection Fixed · Live
Player report

“The new XI selection is much harder to use. The quick team-picking controls have disappeared.”

Earlier stability work

International career QA
17 Jul 2026
Fixes

International-first careers hardened

  • Full-time means full-time. Auto-managed county matches no longer interrupt an England manager with county press conferences, transfer prompts, player concerns or treatment-room notices.
  • International opponents resolve correctly. Australia and other countries are now recognised as national sides in Continue prompts and scouting reports, rather than being looked up as domestic teams.
  • The international inbox is quieter. A single FTP announcement replaces dozens of near-identical messages for every match in a series.
  • Older saves remain playable. New leadership, staff, strategy, contract and board-pressure fields are safely backfilled when an existing career is loaded.
Accounts & saves
5 Jul 2026
Fixes

Cloud-save ownership and confirmation email fixes

  • Same-browser account switching fixed. Local IndexedDB save mirrors are now scoped to the signed-in Supabase user, so Account B no longer sees Account A's cached career on the same device.
  • Queued autosaves are user-scoped. A throttled autosave from one account cannot flush under another account after a quick sign-out/sign-in.
  • Email confirmation redirect hardened. If the app URL is configured without https://, the game now corrects it before handing the redirect to Supabase.
  • Signup guidance improved. The create-account screen now reminds players to check their spam folder if the confirmation email does not arrive.
Mobile selection
4 Jul 2026
Fixes

Starting XI and matchday controls repaired on phones

  • Touch selection fixed. The Pick XI screen no longer depends on desktop-only drag and drop; mobile players can tap, swap and reorder the XI reliably.
  • Batting and bowling columns aligned. The BAT/BWL columns in Starting XI mode now keep consistent mobile widths.
  • Mobile Save button restored. The small-screen top bar now prioritises Save rather than Help, so second-XI/home-screen saves are reachable.
  • Feedback button overlap fixed. The floating bug-report button no longer covers critical mobile actions like Confirm XI or Continue season.
Match engine polish
Late Jun 2026
Fixes

More believable scorecards and reporting

  • Bowling workloads are less tidy. Four-day spells now produce a more natural spread of overs rather than suspiciously neat allocations.
  • Maiden overs reporting corrected. Bowling figures now better reflect what happened ball by ball.
  • Season-end flow tightened. Promotion, development-review labels and youth-promotion edge cases were cleaned up after multi-season playtesting.
