[disciplinary rules]

thanks for this

[Super Cup match rules]

I do have the rules, and it states at least 5 full time players in the match squad. foreign player rules should be there though. since its a super cup would be the highest of priorities

[All-Japan Cup match rules]

Thanks for this. missed it. its kinda difficult to have J1 having 5 and J2/3 having 4 and others having 3 from 5. So it should be fine having 5 in the match day squad as per J1 rules right?

[Mistake in J League match rules]

Hey Dosukoi, I know what you are saying except that there are no squad registration since the mininum required of players is 1 GK (2 until september) and 13 oufield players so was not included due to it being a very low mininum number. I will raise this issue to see what can be done as like you said has had more of a issue than I was expecting.

 

[Oldest player in Japans records is 100 years old]

Oof, date of birth was set to 1883 instead of 1983. thanks

[About j-League rules]

Sorry I am not quite sure what you are trying to explain here.

[J League stats all over the place]

I can't guarantee changes for the full release at this stage. 

[Koh Bong Jo and Naoyuki Fujita switched position]

thanks for this, will be looked into.

[J League stats all over the place]

I mean i can technically update the higher profile players when I release my usual lower tier pyramid

[League u18 Teams have no players]

This is due to licensing, they will be populated with regens at youth intake

[Missing HGC status for some players]

yep, that would explain whats gone on since its the game that automatically applies HGC based on playing history. I will wait to see if one of the staff can have a look as it is not my area of expertise here

[J League stats all over the place]

I will attempt to answer the question here. Transfer Values and wages have historically been very low for the j league, no matter how good or bad a player is. Until very recently there have been more elite class korean players but more good japanese players, hence why Korea has a slightly higher CA/PA rate for newer players. Then against Saudi Arabia and Qatar, yes it does feel like Japan is being ranked low when compared with countries that just spend more money, but it is like this in real life, However I have placed room for the league to grow in the coming years as is what has started happening with the new visions and philosophies decided upon the J league this year. teams will start to spend more and the average CA/PA will rise due to teams having more money to spend in a realistic way. 

Now with that said, yes the CA should probably be higher, however when done so most players just move to europe making it another problem to deal with. in terms of the quality of the league, then yes the J.League is subjectively in front of anywhere else  in the playable leagues, but when you factor in finances and the average quality of players that move to europe then Japan falls behind South Korea.

Mao Hosoya is arguably having his best season so far, as good as last season, however the CA/PA was decided quite a while ago as you can imagine had to be decided in advance for this years release, before his form picked up even further. So yes he would get an upgrade for 2024. Jay Roy Grot is another example, an ex U21 netherlands international and before joining reysol was competing at a similar or higher level than the j league. hence why in advance his attributes were weighed higher as he has spent more than just one good season at a competitive level.

I can assure you changes will be made for the 2024 season, and to once again remind you that this is only the first update for a country that pretty much had nothing added at the start. 

[Missing HGC status for some players]

have they spent 3 years at least with FC Tokyo, in game the U23 team was set as a separate team with affiliation so that would be why that specific instance would not be HGC

[Missing HGC status for some players]

Hey there, thanks for the info. just to double check, did any of those players join those teams from high schools or other institutions before joining once they turned 18+. If so then the game would recognize those prior clubs as the HGC clubs, although like you said it should cover J League players, it would have to be something manually added. I am not the expert in competition rule sets so I will let the staff check this one. 

[Emperors Cup final during AFC Asian Cup cycles]

Hey there, thanks for this. for the 2023 edition we had it set to earlier because of this so we will look into it for a future update.

[Kawasaki Frontale stadium issue]

Thanks for providing the ID's here, we will look into it

[Clubs outside of top 3 divisions have no academy coaching/youth recruitment and produce no regens]

Hey there, Intentional change there from me. Most clubs outside of the J leagues actually do not have youth teams at all. Only those that have at least a U15 team I have included to have youth recruitment and all institutes i.e high schools. for the clubs out of probably 2500+ teams about 200 of them have a youth team. this will also stop Japan having way too many regens in long term saves. 

[Hiroto Nakagawa attribute issue]

Definately feels that way when you look at it. however when you go into how he plays and all the off the ball and defending statistics it makes a lot more sense. It might need some tweaking to find a balance between the two so I will look into it. 

 

[Reilac Shiga FC Some Issue]

Hey there, I will look into the info for Reilac Shiga and the stadium, however as for the stadium name choice for Kyoto Sanga and, Ezumi and staff, that is ultimately being decided upon by licensing. help is always welcome.

[Honda FC being promoted to the J3]

what you have said is true, except for that the rules for promotion to the 2024 J3 onwards have changed and at this rate honda fc are technically eligible for promotion. They will probably decline, however at this stage there has been no announcement stating that they can't due to the new promotion rules. Maruyasu being another team in the same boat. So until there is news I will consider this being correct for the time being. Thanks though for the input

[J-League cup final venue]

Thanks for this, we will look into it

[J1-J2 promotion playoff final subs rule]

thanks for this. can confirm you are right there so will be looked at. should be 5 from 7 max of 3 stoppages

[In Game Editor Used - Yes?]

Thanks for this, someone will check soon and get back to you

[Kevin Muscat]

correct, licensing at work for some staff.

[Juan Mata missing from game]

Japan is still very much being worked on in terms of licensing during the early access period.
