Ahhhh. That explains it. I thought I was running on Full Detail, and the team I'd added in a Bandits-minus-superplayers way were just languishing in the Conference for twenty years. Then I upped their rep to 8000 and they got promoted 4 years straight barely losing a game.

Glad it's because I was playing in the Premiership and they were lower league, rather than Rep being the ridiculously huge factor I thought it was

Perhaps a little toning down of the rep-factor in not-full-detail games might help the leagues have some variety in longer term games and aid the cup-upsets in future?

But go and eat a pie already Miles. It's Xmas

arfraen - where you talk about progressing into 2015+, you'll find that some of the teams are as strong as they were, others won't be, much like real life. 15 years ago.

This is correct as per real life. In 1992/93, Norwich, QPR & Sheffield Wednesday all finished in the top 7.

As for your other point, the quick match engine used for inactive leagues does not affect the human manager in any way.

I'm amazed, I never realised we had the power to force the MD to come here and run tests for us whenever we have a big question.

Can someone come up with a really nasty challenge for him to do on Boxing Day as well?
