Game engine fault - Update
I've had a change of mind regarding the error on Friday and decided that the results shouldn't stand after all as it would be unfair at the season end if somebody missed out on something because of this.
Therefore I have restored the database from Friday, made sure managers and one or two data tables have been updated with current data (news/message board/manager friends) and then re-run the matches as they should have been played.
Bear in mind that this fix will cause games to be quite different but at least they have been run correctly and the league tables will be fair again.
All sponsorship, transfers, youth, mail and all other aspects will have been reset to as it was on Friday though so managers may have to re-do some things again. I think this is fairer than leaving the results as they were as the results are the main aspect of the game and hope you agree, even if it does mean some things need re-processing.
As for what I've been working on that caused the problem - it's just the match report time line where I want to include more information about the game. I'm also working on improving the way I track managers and enabling the possibility to change teams more easily. My final work for the moment will be the transfer system and the potential disabling of transfers for new managers. These latter 2 are small bits but going forward, it should all help me improve the game. There's more changes after that too but after this error, I'll try to stop doing too much at once behind the scenes.
