Hey folks,

Read the question 'is it out yet????' from rjl518...

Then saw your Thank You with the word (Today) and for a split second I thought
it was today. : )

I can't wait to learn more about the development and new scouting features. Aside from the speed those are easily my two favorite new features. Looking forward to a great game.

I was wondering the same and also: - Added the option to assign custom names & abbreviations to league levels I thought this was already an option, so maybe I'm missing something?

Not Markus obviously, but I think what he's referring to here is the same option that exists with feeder leagues.

Namely that you can have the ai select lineups based either on potential, so that the best prospects always play, or on current skill so that the best players according to current ratings play..

This is awesome! I didn't even know about this and now that I've heard about it I'm basically emulating the dancing banana here in my apartment

@Chico, this was definitely not an option before, unless you were able to hack into the source code or something!

Does this mean the player history text files are gone? Will we have access to this database to edit? I have a few small utilities that I would write to the text files to show up in player histories in game just wondering if these will be obsolete now. Thanks.
