Football Beta SIM 2.35 is available on the Community >> Simulator Testing Page. We have also enabled for Beta Pools for anyone wishing to try the Beta SIM that way.
Football Beta SIM 2.35
The intent with this beta Sim is to make small fixes, release, test, repeat; rather than make huge changes and then release. That way active Managers can adjust their tactics and training and evolve their teams.
Our plan is to make rolling changes based on feedback, as we did with the recent Hockey Beta.
A lot of changes have been made. You can read the patch notes here.
Whilst you look at Beta SIM V2.35 we will continue to make changes to the Beta SIM and release them via the Community Simulator Testing page.
What is not included in Sim V2.35?
Back passes in the penalty area - this is on the short term list, but not in V2.35
The list will change as the Beta SIM evolves and bugs are fixed, or features and behaviour is changed.
If you have been following the Beta SIMs, in the English thread, you will have seen how the list has changed. Many local threads have been created by Admins to help with local languages.
Playing the Beta SIM
The Beta SIM is open for all Club Members – thank you for your support!
Yu will need to log out and in to see the match counter reset.
The Beta SIM can be found on the Community >> Simulator Testing page.
* You must opt in to be eligible.
* You can challenge anyone who has opted in and you play using your chosen Beta Tactic against their chosen Beta Tactic.
* All Club Members will receive 10 Beta Match challenges. We may reset the counter from time to time to give more free Beta Match Challenges.
The Beta SIM Friendly Leagues Pools will:
1. Play 6 matches per day at 1000 1200 1600 1800 2000 and 2200 CEST
2. Always use the latest Beta SIM (currently Football Beta SIM 2.35)
3. Cost the same as a normal Friendly League (5PT)
4. Start as soon as they are full, with the first match playing the next calender day.
5. We will refund two Beta Friendly Leagues to everyone who joins, so everyone who joins will receive up to two free Beta Friendly Leagues.
6. The refunds will be sent on Tuesday 5th April 2016.
7. You can join more than two Beta Friendly Leagues if you wish.
We are using the Pools to give the fastest way for active Managers to join and see the latest Football Beta SIM 2.35 in a Friendly League.
You can still play any unused Beta test matches from the Beta Test page.
Release plan for the Football SIM
Beta SIM V2.35 is not ready for a live release.
We will continue to make updates.
If we can fix issues quickly and have a release candidate ready before day 45 of this Season, we consider releasing a new Football SIM at the start of Season 58, or Season 59. We will seek feedback via the forums and via the ManagerZone Federation as we did with the recent Hockey SIMs.
