The post says 400,000 database changes, so we’re talking 400,000 changes in the two-week window between the last update and when the cut-off was? It doesn’t make sense to release a data update on 9th April that had a cut-off of mid-February.

I feel really cheated by this update. Have waited to start a new save, when I could have used an unofficial update all this time?

The data update post says internal March deadline - so I don't understand why things in February haven't been updated. This whole game cycle has been really poor.

This is comical then. A data update released in April does not reflect managerial changes from two months ago? That particular managerial change even happened before the previous data update.

:-/

The new Manchester United board doesn't seem to have been reflected either, not sure if that's a licensing thing or if this update is simply old.

I updated but still see Hodgson as Palace manager. The database says 24.3.0, is that the newest one?

It's definitely been there the whole release, I guess you have been lucky up until now.

Click the 'i' next to stoppages and it will fix itself. also found that restarting my computer works too.

On the subject of scouting, below is the issue I am having. If anything, it's worse than before. Here is my focus criteria: Then, on the scouting assignments page it shows this he has 9 reports: Upon clicking the 9 reports it shows he has zero: Then when I go to recruitment focus it shows only 2 in progress: I started this assignment in July and it is now 1st November. So my scout has seen only 2 players that are a minimum 2 star current ability and 3 star potential all season? Scouting has been broken all season - and it is a huge part of the game. How am I supposed to squad build whilst not finding any players? the changelist said this was fixed, it has not been fixed.

I set up some scout recruitments (mostly 1 star min, three star potential - so you would think each scout would find plenty of players) and went on holiday and am still getting next to no recommendations. Scouting has been broken all year. This doesn't make any sense, surely they would have spotted a few players that meet those requirements?

What was the cut-off for the data update? As Roy Hodgson is still Crystal Palace manager.

Finished up season one with Forest. Ended up finishing 15th in the league, a fairly comfortable 11 points from the relegation places. The FA cup we got to the 5th round before losing to Wigan of all teams, 2-1 after extra-time and the league cup we were dumped out in the 3rd round losing to a strong Man United side. Stand-out players of the season were definitely Chris Wood (16 goals in 32 league appearances) and Taiwo Awoniyi (12 in 29). Elanga (11 goals, 6 assists in 36) and Hudson-Odo (7 goals, 6 assists in 36) i both impressed as well. In other areas, Murillo impressed at the back with an average rating of 6.90 over the season (highest of all defenders). Summer transfer window I was given a decent kitty of around £45m - wanted to add another few attacking players and replace some ageing defenders. Window ended up looking like this: Ins: Rodrigo Ribeiro (Sporting CP, £10.5m) Omari Benjamin (Arsenal, free) Jack Moorhouse (Manchester United, free) Zack Steffen (Manchester City, £1.1m) Lawrence Vigouroux (Burnley, £300,000) Gonzalo Montiel (Sevilla, £8.5m) Neal Maupay (Everton, £4m rising to £4.8m) Manor Solomon (Tottenham, loan) David Brooks (AFC Bournemouth, loan) Tobias Slotsager (OB, £3.8m) Wout Faes (Leicester City, £15m rising to £22m) Outs: Scott McKenna (Wolves, free) Joe Worrall (Crystal Palace, loan) Fin Back (Hibernian, free) Cheikou Kouyate (Cagliari, free) Felipe (Corinthians, free) Gustavo Scarpa (Al-Qadish, £4m) Matt Turner (Al-Shabab, loan) Odysseas Vlachodimos (West Ham, loan) Jonjo Shelvey (Luton, £3.9m) Hwang Ui-Jo (Al-Raed, £2.3m) Remo Freuler (Real Sociedad, £10.5m) Lewis O'Brien (Bologna, loan) Josh Bowler (Sheffield Wednesday, £5m) jonathan Panzo (AZ, loan) Richie Laryea (Luton, £2.3m) A fairly decent squad refresh - getting some high wages off the books. Leaves my squad for the upcoming season looking like: GK: Sels, Steffen, Vigoroux DR: Montiel, Williams DL: Richards, Toffolo, Aina DC: Niakhate, Murillo, Omabomidele, Faes DM: Dominguez, Sangare, Danilo, Yates AM: Gibbs-White, Brooks, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, Solomon, Dennis FC: Awoniyi, Woods, Maupay, Ribeiro Still have a few weeks before the window closes, currently unsure on the left-back situation. I wanted Tavares back from Arsenal but they wouldn't loan him back and he refused to join on a permanent deal. I think with the additions of Brooks and Solomon in the attacking areas should give us enough for a push for mid-table this season.

Booted up a Union Berlin save with aims to get them regularly qualifying for Europe. Decided to adopt a similar strategy in terms of transfer and tactics. Recruitment will focus on players from the lower levels of the German pyramid whilst looking to unearth some players from the surrounding regions (Austria, Switzerland). Tactics-wise, I’m keeping with the 3-5-2 they seem to pivot toward in real-life. Want to keep compact and solid at the back and mainly create chances on the counter. This leads me to utilising the defensive and cautious mentalities for the first time in a long-term save. Hopefully I can defy the odds and keep Union in the top-half of the table on a limited budget. I also plan to integrate some of the academy players throughout the save, to start with the facilities are not great, but there are a couple of youngsters I feel can add depth to the squad in the second season. Will also help with European squad registration (if I succeed) as to start off with, there isn’t many homegrown talent at the club. My aim for the Champion’s League campaign is to try and sneak a third place finish in the group stage and give the Europa League a real go.

I don’t think we’re supposed to ask - as any mention of it has been completely ignored.
