The overall objective is to have fun and enjoy your time while playing the game. That manifests itself in many ways and will depend on what you want from it. There is no right or wrong way and, if you play a single-player game, you don't have to answer to anyone but yourself.

If it happens only at game time, that points to a graphics issue. Maybe have a look at the graphics card driver and, if the game was working fine recently, roll the driver back to the previous one and see if that helps. Do this without having any other 3rd party graphics installed.

The tracker subforums that have been closed have an explanatory post at the top of each forum with a full explanation of the reasons

This has been reported as a bug in the Bug Tracker and is under review. I suspect that it maynot be a quick fix though.

Does the backup save load?

There should be a "confirm" button somewhere to select to make changes stick/

The season change over date is usually the last day of June.

I appealed very rarely, mainly after evaluating the AM's advice. I would maybe get one or two overturned a season.

You need to watch the report from your AM about the red card. If he says it was harsh, then there will be a chance to overturn it. If not, there is no point and constantly appealing will go against you if there are no strong grounds for the appeal.

Official competition matches can't be cancelled by you, only friendlies.

From memory- go to the B team players you want and right click- select squad and then scroll to "make available for the first team" for the next game for 90 mins and he should be excluded from the B squad as soon as you hit continue.

The simple answer is to use your subs better and if you really need to make all 5 subs, then keep the last one till late in the game. Personally, I rarely use all the subs.

You are missing 12 points so that looks like some sort of points deduction.

Mentoring, quality of coaching, game time and patience.

Historically there is usually only one more update in the new year for the end of the January transfer window- this happens around the end of February/beginning of March but there will not be any prior information until it is released. After that, there may be a minor update for any leagues that have a late transfer window.
