This is because of the new player and team names. 04/07/2004: v1.0 final 'Quickfoot' - connected the skill level of European teams to the average level of the Premiership so that it doesn't become too easy to win the European Cups after a couple of seasons - worked a bit on speed issues; the game should start a bit faster and calculate the results quicker, too 02/24/2004: v1.0 beta - stadium values may be increased twice a week now - added some buttons to give easier access to tables and fixtures - added quick options in the main window - changed most of the finance issues: the ticket income is higher, but the difference between players with similar propertiers (skill etc.) in different leagues is much smaller now - UEFA Cup is now harder to win - fixed a bug that led to the same number of goal chances in every game regardless of the individual teams that played (this made it very hard for even the best teams to win predictably against weaker opponents) - fixed a bug that allowed players to have a talent above 9.9 - fixed a bug that caused the game to reject some normal save files - fixed a bug that made it less probable to sell a player the better the scout was - fixed a bug that caused a player with expected recovery time 11 to get healthy within a week 02/14/2004: v1.0 alpha - first graphical version using GTK+ 2 - new features: - live game - playing style (attack/defend) - buy players not on the transferlist 01/02/2002 v0.5 pre-alpha, alpha and beta - text-based version full of pointers and containing an untraceable segfault
