    I found another couple of bugs, nothing major really:

    1) One of my guys was called off-side on my opponent's goal line after I scored from the resultant shot. The ball was put in place correctly, but their keeper tried to take the kick and just stood shaking on the goal line. My player and one of my opponent's players both ran off the screen into the crowd. It was quite funny actually.

    2) Found another bug where I had my main defender banned for a red card. Unfortunately, I also had both of my other defenders already serving suspensions, but I couldn't remove my player from my first 11 (I guess because I didn't officially have another defender to swap him with). I had to play the game with 10 men as it wouldn't let me swap the suspended player with anyone else.

    Not a bug, but a query about the new pre-defined tournaments. I just went for 'World Champ', got through the group stages and then round 2. After a hard-fought 1–1 against Brazil, I was quite surprised when no extra time happened. Of the eight teams on day two in the knockout stage, only two progress to the final on day three. That's a bit weird.

    Cool!
    Can't wait to play it on Mac :)
    Do you have an updated release date?
    Do you have plans for PS4 and XONE?
    Great work. I love it :)

    Cheers Gianluca, I've found quite a few cases where my player performs a sliding tackle, and wins the ball but then I lose control of that player and it switches to a nearby player instead.

    Suggestions:
    1) Would it be possible to have player ratings for each match, and (linked with this) Man of the Match awards etc?
    2) It'd be good to have more player information on the tactics screen - names/preferred position etc.
    3) Being able to shortlist players from the transfer/ browse screen.
    4) Being able to search for players based on their surname/attributes rather than looking through teams etc.
    5) Being able to scroll menus with a swipe/drag rather than using the scrollbar – it’s really hard to use the scrollbar on the transfer screen, for example.
    6) More interactive with the board rather than just the reputation graph.
    7) Ability to sign loan players and receive random players on trial through the season.
    8) New goal celebrations/ winning match celebrations.
    9) Export goals to YouTube.

    The above is really just fine-tuning what you’ve already made – it's an amazing football game.

    I want to have a stable release before publish the game for the remaining platforms.
    So I will release the next version (in the next few days) and then I can focus on releasing the game for Mac, Windows Phone and Blackberry.

    Yes, there are plans for an enhanced version for consoles.

    1) yes, it is in my plans
    2) you mean tactic screen on phone layout?
    3) and 4) ok
    5) you already can do it, just move your finger over inactive buttons
    6) sorry I don't understand what you mean
    7) and 8) they will be definitely included but I am afraid not in AS2
    9) yes, it is in my plans

    Sorry I mean being able to ask for more money from the board, or perhaps more information on what aspects of your job they're happy with - player signings, financial position, team performance etc. I know there's a graph already, but it doesn't have any values on it, so it's hard to know whether you're doing an acceptable job in line with the board's expectations. Sorry, it's hard to explain :eek:

    And re 2) yes - it would be nice to have more information on the tactics screen. Switching backwards and forwards is a tiny bit frustrating when you're setting your team up.

    Is there a way of tracking whether a player's statistics are increasing or decreasing over the course of a season? I know in SWOS you'd see a player's value increasing with their form, but does the same thing happen in AS2?

    It'd be nice to know a player's potential too, both before you buy them and during their career.. I really love statistics, so maybe you could add a player's previous season's goal tally and ratings to their info somewhere too.

    Also, I've not had it yet, but do players retire? If so, it would be good to have a youth squad and the ability to promote players to the first team squad. I can see that there's a Reserve Team, but I don't have any players in mine yet (Plymouth). Not sure how to add reserve players..?

    "- In preset world cup if you draw the game ends instead of playing extra times"

    (In addition, as I noted, the knockout stage doesn't progress correctly. Eight teams in one round, and then just two in the next.)

    I already asked Luca most of this :)

    Attributes change (increase, decrease) in the calculation at the end of a season. The screen the user gets - same applies to all clubs.

    There's no potential, increase and decrease are down to raw playing stats

    Players don't age or retire. I think Luca is working on this for a future version! Which will be ace. But now it's kind of like Swos career in this respect. Reserve team - that's just where players go if you have more than 23 players, so you can fill it by buying in.

    1. Skills tab added to the tactics screen before the match
    2. Can you please clarify how stamina works currently? There is no bar or indicator to stamina at the moment... at least i havent seen it.

    Please fix the random shooting/tackling
    Out of the blue my players (once in a while) would tackle or shot without by themselves (didn't press A)

    Yeah, I've noticed that on occasion too. I wondered if the game somehow cues up subsequent moves. It's frustrating to sometimes have one of your team do a perfect cross for the opposition's centre forward!

    Never had that happen at all. Sure it isn't something queued up?

    Next update looks great! Any news on whether there will be a roster update. I like playing with AC Milan and I have to add all the new players from January which is very expensive!
    And unlike the real team I can win with these great players! Enjoyed watching the game with Fiorentina even if it didn't go as I hoped. Need to add Destro, Antonelli, Cerci, Suso, Palletta,
    and Bocchetti. I know a roster update is probably pretty tough but thanks for listening and I am still playing it more than any other game on my phone :)

    Couple of tiny things:
    1) The tackling bug is quite weird, after a sliding tackle when the player wins the ball he sometimes runs off in the opposite direction, leaving the ball behind - happens with AI and human controlled players.
    2) When you select a player from the transfer list, the header row for SHO in his stats table has the O dropped down a line.
    3) Would it be possible to introduce play-offs in the English leagues? They're quite a big thing in England, but seem to be missing from the career mode.
