- added possibility to fire a player
- added 'Player actions' button

skill is now the skill that's really used when computing games

the main window when playing two live games already after the
first one)

more but players heal better on average

08/17/2004: v1.4.3
- corrected the '1-2'-bug: you couldn't enter these two digits
into fields like the structure field because they were used as
keyboard shortcuts for browsing forward and back. browsing's done
with 'q' and 'w' now, and 'q' quits the game only when the browse
buttons aren't shown (e.g. in main menu mode)
- corrected some minor transfer list bugs (there seem to be
infinitely many of these :-( )

you can switch this off, of course)

change at the beginning of a new season

penalties were shot

of the 'team_names_XX' files, so that you have custom team names
and league/cup names

NOTE: This version is unfortunately not compatible anymore to
saved games of previous versions. This is because of the new
player and team names.

- 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

but the difference between players with similar propertiers
(skill etc.) in different leagues is much smaller now
