v2021.07.10.0948

v2021.05.08.1255

Added a "Clear Injury" button to player pages in God Mode. Thanks @domini7!

Fixed a bug where some generated salaries were lower in the first season of a new league than in subsequent seasons.
v2021.05.02.0641
 [1] [2]

v2021.05.02.0641
 [1] [2]
New formula for defensive awards, based more directly on box score stats rather than AV.
v2021.05.02.0641
 [1] [2]
If the winning team has the ball and can kneel to run out the clock, they now do so.

v2021.04.16.0655
 [1] [2]
New "Historical Stats" setting allows you to import historical data (player stats, ratings, awards, standings, playoff brackets) in new real players leagues. By default, new leagues on PCs will include all historical data for active players as well as retired players in the Hall of Fame.
v2021.04.13.0881
 [1]
A player's overall rating is now displayed live while editing his ratings.
2021-04-12
 [1] [2]
All league settings can be edited before creating a new league by clicking the new "Customize Settings" button.

 [1]
On the GM History page, in addition to your entire career results (record, playoff appearances, etc), it also shows all those statistics for each different franchise you controlled.
2021-04-06
 [1]
On player pages, there is now a double gold border around a jersey if it's retired by that team.
2021-04-06
 [1]
Added a "totals" row to the bottom of box score tables showing team totals, like is already in BBGM.
2021-04-06
 [1]
Made salaries a bit more even, so there are fewer players willing to sign for the minimum.
2021-04-03
 [1]
Denser settings UI, particularly for larger screens.

 [1]
W/L/OTL/T records are now tracked for goalies.

2021-03-27
 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Two new league settings. "Age of Draft Prospects" lets you customize the min/max age for draft prospects. And "Force Retire at Age" lets you set a maxmimum age limit for your league. See the blog post for more details. Thanks @domini7!

Updated the rosters after the trade deadline.
2021-03-25
 [1]
Added Dean Oliver's "Four Factors" (eFG%, TOV%, ORB%, and FT/FGA) to the advanced team stats page. Thanks @domini7!
2021-03-25
 [1]
Added awards for the season leader in some key stats (hockey: goals, assists, points; football: passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards; yards from scrimmage). I know people might want more, but at some point it'd be too much clutter. This feature has already been in BBGM for a while. Thanks @domini7!
2021-03-20
 [1]
New live sim fast forward option to play until next goal/score.
2021-03-20
 [1]

2021-03-20
 [1]

 [1]
Injured players who have not yet been subbed off are now much less likely to accumulate stats.
2021-03-20

2021-03-20
 [1]
Adjusted ratings of centers and wingers so that centers tend to be better at defense than wingers.
2021-03-20
 [1]
Fixed faceoffs to actually be based on the faceoffs rating - previously they were completely random, my bad!
2021-03-18
 [1] [2] [3]
Draft order now matches the NFL/NHL in Football GM and ZenGM Hockey. For example, the last pick in the first round is now the championship winning team in FBGM and ZGMH.
2021-03-18
 [1] [2]
Country flags indicating the nationality of every player are shown on the roster, player bios, and player profile pages.
2021-03-16
 [1] [2]
Rescaled the "real player development determinism" implementation - before it felt like anything except a very low value was almost the same as setting it to 100%.
2021-03-16
 [1]
The "passes defended" stat can now only be accumulated on incomplete passes and interceptions.
2021-03-16
 [1]
Fixed bug where stats on failed 4th down conversions were recorded incorrectly. This was most notable on sacks, but also happened on runs and passes.
2021-03-16
 [1]
Fixed bug where a turnover on downs in overtime would not trigger a check if the game is over (such as if the 1st OT possession is a FG and the 2nd is a turnover on downs, the game should be over, but previously the OT period continued).
2021-03-16
 [1]
Fixed bug where a fumble recovered by the offense would result in an extra down being charged.
2021-03-13
 [1]
You can now start real players leagues after the playoffs for seasons where expansion drafts occurred.
2021-03-13
 [1]
Fixed bug where teams with a lead late in the game were shooting too quickly. A side effect of this is that overtime scoring is now a little lower.
2021-03-13
 [1]
When generating a relative of an existing player, there is now a 50% chance that the new player will share the same jersey number and college as the existing player.
2021-03-13
 [1]
Retired players are now shown on their player profile page wearing the jersey of the team they accumulated the most stats on. If the team wore multiple different jersey styles/colors over that time, a random one is picked each time the page is loaded.
2021-03-12
 [1]
New randomization option for real players leagues, "Random debuts forever". It's like random debuts, except when it runs out of real players, it repeats them again in random order after it runs out of players.
2021-03-11
 [1]
In the regular season, goalies need rest days or their performance will suffer. Your coach will automatically play your backup goalie when that gives you a better chance to win.
2021-03-10
 [1]
Added one new jersey option for FBGM, and three for ZGMH. Thanks @TravisJB89!
2021-03-05
 [1]
Added a summary of all current and past injuries in the league at Stats > Injuries.
2021-03-03
 [1]
Added support for changing the rate of steals, blocks, turnovers, and offensive rebounds. In historical leagues, they automatically change over time. This was done in part because I recently (2021-02-20) changed the default steal rate to be 10% lower than it was before, which some people did not like.
2021-03-02
 [1] [2]
ZenGM Hockey is here!
2021-02-21

Following up on yesterday's jersey styles option, @ClevelandFan went through all the default teams and gave them jersey styles that look good. This will only affect new leagues and expansion teams.
2021-02-20
 [1]
At Tools > Manage Teams, it is now possible to change the team jersey styles used for cartoon players.
2021-02-20
 [1]

2021-02-20

Decreased the steal rate to be a bit more realistic.
2021-02-20

On the roster page in past seasons, players still on the current team are highlighted.
2021-02-20

The "worried he'll be traded away" mood component is based on how many players you've traded away recently. Now that factors in how good the player is too. Basically, below average players will not count much there, but above average players still will. This is based on their current ovr, not their pot, so a contending team can trade away prospects without much penalty.
2021-02-16
 [1]
New option to switch between ordering teams by winning percentage (default) or a points formula like the NHL uses.
2021-02-15
 [1] [2] [3]
Non-random tiebreakers, based on things like head-to-head results, strength of schedule, etc. Also it's customizable in God Mode.
2021-02-12
 [1] [2]
New challenge mode "Thanos Mode": at the end of the playoffs, there's a 20% chance of half the league either dying (if random player) or retiring (if real player). After each event, it can't happen again until three years later. Thanks @domini7!
2021-02-11

In custom league files, there is a new simpler format for writing "gameAttributes". Don't worry, the old format will continue to work, you don't need to change anything! But now you can write it as an object rather than an array, which is generally a lot simpler. See the manual for more info.
2021-02-09
 [1] [2] [3]
Head-to-head team results are now viewable at League > History > Head-to-Head and Team > History > Head-to-Head.
2021-02-09

Added a new option in League Settings to track overtime losses (OTL) separately from regulation losses, as is common in hockey. Currently it's just cosmetic, they count the same as losses.
2021-02-09
 [1]
Added new skill label "V" for "Volume Scorer" to BBGM. Thanks @nicidob!
2021-02-09
 [1]
Updated the "desired contract length" formula based to feel more realistic. Thanks @nicidob!
2021-02-07
 [1] [2]
Added a new league setting available in God Mode to control the number of fouls in a period before the bonus. Thanks @domini7! This setting automatically changes in historical leagues in 1955 and 1967.
2021-02-04
 [1]
In the Retired Jersey Numbers of the Team History page, it now shows how many championships each player won with this team.
2021-02-03
 [1]
Several new facial features in the cartoon face generator from @TravisJB89.
2021-01-19

In the play-by-play during live sims, players can get dunked on.
2021-01-18

The "Keep auto sorted" roster option is now per-team rather than global, which may be useful in multi-team mode. This option will also be enabled by default in new leagues.
2021-01-16
 [1]
A few little improvements to FBGM game simulation. Teams will not punt when they're on the verge of losing, and teams will pass more when they're down late. Also fixed a bug where a turnover during a two point conversion resulted in the wrong team kicking off.
2021-01-14
 [1] [2]
Added a new league setting "Number of Periods Per Game" to let you change from the default of 4 quarters to whatever you want. In FBGM, if the number of periods is odd, there is no halftime. In BBGM, I also fixed the logic for which team gets possession at the start of a period (it was actually implemented like football previously which doesn't make any sense, I have no idea what I was thinking when I did that).
2021-01-11
 [1]
If you live sim the last game of the playoffs, confetti drops after the game ends.
2021-01-09
 [1] [2]
When creating a new Real Players league, there is now a "Real draft prospect ratings" option which allows you to change how draft prospect ratings are defined. The default remains unchanged (ratings are based on rookie season stats), but there is now another option to base ratings purely on draft position. That will result in simulated drafts being much more similar to real drafts.
2021-01-04

Added "Clear" button to the Draft Scouting page in God Mode to allow you to easily delete all players in a draft class.
2021-01-04
 [1]
Projected cap space is shown on the Upcoming Free Agents page.
2021-01-04
 [1]
In expansion drafts, now there is a limit to the number of players that can be selected from each existing team. This number is customizable in expansion draft setup, and defaults to the minimum number required to allow the expansion draft to complete (like if there are 20 existing teams and 4 expansion teams, you need at least 2 players per team for a 10 round expansion draft).
2021-01-03
 [1]
The number of times a player has won an award is shown in the League History table.
2021-01-03
 [1]
Team logos are shown in the League History table for the league champion and runner up.
2020-12-26

Added a button to delete all players on a team to the roster page.
2020-12-26

Added buttons to randomize college and country to the player editor.
2020-12-25
 [1] [2] [3]
A ton of new facial features were added by @TravisJB89 and @domini7. Like 100+ new facial features.
2020-12-25
 [1] [2]
The concept of "race" was added to the face generator by @icedjuro. Each country in the game is now annotated with a distribution of races so generated faces feel more realistic. Like it's still possible to get a black player from China, but it is much less common.
2020-12-22
 [1]
You can now add/edit/delete teams in a new Random Players league before creating it, by clicking the "Customize" button under "Pick your team".

 [1]
Added button to toggle the current state of the trade deadline to Tools > Danger Zone.

The time at which the All-Star Game occurs can now be edited at Tools > League Settings. By default it is 70% of the way through the season.
2020-12-12
 [1] [2]
New "Edit Awards" page available in God Mode, which allows you to edit all the end-of-season award winners. Thanks @luso97!
2020-12-09
 [1]
Added "Randomize Name" button to the Create/Edit Player page, which picks a random name from the currently selected country.
2020-12-06
 [1]
Added next/prev buttons to the season and team top menus, and to the team menu on the trade page.
2020-12-03
 [1]

New "Keep auto sorted" option on the roster page, to let the AI manage sorting your roster (no more clicking "auto sort" periodically).
2020-12-03
 [1]
You can start historical real players leagues at the draft lottery phase.
2020-12-02
 [1]
Icons for All-Stars, MVPs, and championships are displayed on the Draft History and Draft Team History pages. Peak ovr and pot values are also shown there.

An early version of the 2021 rosters is available when creating a new real players league. Also, you can start a 2020 league after the draft if you want to re-play free agency.
2020-11-27
 [1] [2]
Added a "player note" that you can write on player profile pages, if you want to remind yourself of anything about a player in the future. They are also viewable on the Watch List page.
2020-11-19

New setting "AI Teams Retire Jersey Numbers" to control whether AI teams should automatically retire/unretire jersey numbers.
2020-11-19
 [1] [2]
Two new trade frivolities: Biggest Trades (trades involving the best players and prospects) and Most Lopsided Trades (trades where one team's assets produced a lot more value than the other).
2020-11-17
 [1]
Added some charts to the Trade Summary page.
2020-11-15
 [1] [2]
Transaction logs for trades are now dynamically updated to include the players selected by traded draft picks, and they link to a new Trade Summary page showing more details about completed trades.
2020-11-12
 [1]
Fixed bug where "half the distance to the goal" penalties were being assessed wrong, leading to the line of scrimmage being in the endzone.
2020-11-12
 [1]
In live sims, no more spoilers where scoring plays appeared in the scoring summary before being shown in the play-by-play.
2020-11-10
 [1]
Added a button to easily retire a player's jersey number, next to each player on the Team History page.

2020-11-01
 [1]

2020-10-29
 [1]
Two new challenge modes: "You're fired if you pay the luxury tax" and "You're fired if you miss the playoffs". For an even bigger challenge, try them both at the same time!
2020-10-26
 [1]
AI teams are a bit more skeptical when trading draft picks with the user.
2020-10-26
 [1]
Contracts are rounded to the nearest $10k rather than the nearest $50k.
2020-10-26
 [1]
Previously, AI teams who were under the salary cap and had no roster spots open would never sign free agents, as if they'd rather miss out on a good free agent than cut a guy at the end of the bench. Now they are willing do that, which can help the AI a lot with roster building.
2020-10-26
 [1]
Fixed bug where it was almost impossible to have any attendance less than a sell out.
2020-10-25
 [1] [2]
AI teams are affected by player mood when re-signing players, and you can see a player's mood toward his current team.

2020-10-17

 [1] [2]
Added a trade deadline, which is customizable in the God Mode options.
2020-10-03
 [1]
New option in God Mode to change the number of draft rounds. This does not change the talent pool - if you add more draft rounds, the additional draft prospects will not be very good. If you remove draft rounds, there will be more good undrafted free agents.
2020-10-01
 [1]
In honor of our glorious upcoming election, I am introducing the most American option ever added to Basketball GM: a new draft type "No lottery, best to worst" in which the best teams get the best picks in the draft.
2020-09-22
 [1]
A few new contract options in God Mode. Set the minimum and maximum length of allowable contracts, and set whether players should be allowed to refuse to negotiate after their rookie contract expires.
2020-09-21

Added keyboard shortcuts to the live game sim controls.
2020-09-20
 [1]
Below team logos in playoff box scores, playoff series results are shown rather than regular season records. And yeah, when you're watching a live game, the win total updates when the game finishes :)
2020-09-19
 [1]
New God Mode option to set the number of players on the court. By default it's 5-on-5, but now it can be anything. Extreme values may do weird things.
2020-09-17
 [1] [2]
New player mood system! Most notable improvements are that it's viewable at any time (not just during free agency) and it's much more transparent about what players think about your team. If your star is not happy and doesn't want to re-sign, you'll know ahead of time.
2020-09-07
 [1] [2]
New challenge mode "Lose best player every season", where at the end of the playoffs every season, the best player on your team will either retire (if he's a real player) or die a tragic death (if he's a random player). Thanks @luso97!
2020-09-07
 [1]
Added eFG% to stat tables. Thanks @domini7!
2020-09-03

2020-08-29
 [1] [2]
Single game highs for players are now tracked for all stats in BBGM - points, rebounds, assists, etc. View them on player profile pages or in the main Player Stats table by switching the stat type to "Game Highs".
2020-08-26
 [1] [2]
Added the Elam Ending as an option for game simulation.
2020-08-26
 [1]
Tweaks to game simulation in the playoffs, most notably resulting in fewer upsets. Also injuries in the playoffs are shorter, to work around the fact that currently there is no way to have players play through minor injuries. Thanks @nicidob!
2020-08-24
 [1]
The Draft Team History page can now use the "GM history" data to show all the draft picks you made, across all teams you managed. Find it at Team > GM History > Your Draft History.
2020-08-22
 [1]
The Team Records page can now use the "GM history" data to show a table of only your teams. Find it at Team > GM History > Your Team Records.
2020-08-22
 [1] [2]
New God Mode option: Spectator Mode, where the AI controls all teams and you just watch. It's like auto play, but you can proceed at your own pace.
2020-08-20
 [1] [2]
Added a new "GM History" page in the Team menu, where you can see your performance across all the different franchises you managed in the past.
2020-08-18
 [1]
If you are successful (high score in the owner's annual performance review) then sometimes other teams will try to hire you. This happens between the playoffs and draft. Previously, the only way to change teams was to get fired or use God Mode.
2020-08-18
 [1]
Purely cosmetic player attributes that don't affect gameplay or achievements (name, height (inches), weight (lbs), jersey number, college) are editable outside of God Mode by going to a player's page and clicking Edit Player.
2020-08-17
 [1]
Added TS%, 3PAr, and FTr to the player info popup.
2020-08-17
 [1]
If you do enough to win an achievement but miss out on it because you used God Mode or easy difficulty, it gives you a notification saying this rather than nothing.
2020-08-17
 [1]
Added "Finals Appearances" and total winning percentage to the Team History page.

 [1]

2020-08-13

2020-08-12
 [1] [2]
New frivolities: Best Teams, Worst Teams, Best Non-Playoff Teams, Worst Playoff Teams, Worst Finals Teams, and Worst Championship Teams.
2020-08-11
 [1]
New frivolity: Draft Class Rankings.
2020-08-10
 [1] [2] [3]
The contract generation algorithm has been rewritten. It should be both more realistic and harder to take advantage of. Most noticeably, you should no longer see players ask for too much money and go unsigned.
2020-08-10

Box scores show players who didn't play as DNP (either "Injury" or "Coach's decision") rather than showing a row of all 0s.
2020-08-08

Copying the trend in most other basketball sites, the default standings in BBGM are now conference standings, not division standings. FBGM is not changed.
2020-08-08
 [1]
Team records are shown below logos in box scores. And yeah, when you're watching a live game, the records update when the game finishes :)
2020-08-08
 [1]
In the live game play-by-play, fouls show how many free throws will be upcoming. Like "Shooting foul on Dane Wishnowsky, two FTs for Stephen Lees". Additionally, shot attempts appear on their own line before saying if they are made or missed.
2020-08-02

Added a "Delete Player" button to player profile pages.
2020-08-01
 [1] [2] [3]
Players now have jersey numbers, and teams can retire jersey numbers of former players.
2020-07-28

Injuries that occur during live games show up in the box score.
2020-07-28

When a player retires while (1) still an active player (not a free agent) and (2) still being paid by a team who had previously released him, the remaining amount of his previous contract will no longer be paid.
2020-07-27
 [1] [2]
On the trade page, the trade summary and controls are "sticky" as you scroll so they're always on the screen. This is especially important for FBGM where rosters are huge and much scrolling is required.
2020-07-27
 [1] [2]
Better support for customization of player names, countries, and colleges. And improvements to the built-in names database.
2020-07-27
 [1]
On the Draft Scouting page, added a button to regenerate a draft class if you're in God Mode.
2020-07-23
 [1] [2]
Improvements to game simulation realism: more realistic shooting percentages based on player positions and shot locations; teams change how they play if they are winning or losing; and the distribution of playing time is now more realistic.
2020-07-20
 [1] [2]
The ratings summary at the top of individual player pages now shows the difference between last year's ratings and this year's ratings. Thanks @icedjuro!
2020-07-20

On the roster page and individual player pages, players on your team have a button to quickly add them to the trading block, in the same place as the "Trade For" button for players who are on other teams.
2020-07-20

In Tools > Delete All Leagues, added an option to delete only unstarred leagues.
2020-07-19

Added another "fast forward" option during live game sim - "Until last 2 minutes".

 [1]
If you navigate away from a live game sim, it will pop up a warning dialog explaining that the play-by-play results will be lost if you proceed.
2020-07-16

Added the Roster Composition table to the re-signing players screen.
2020-07-11
 [1] [2]
God Mode option to enable/disable ties. So for BBGM ties are now possible, and for FBGM you can turn off ties. Ties only can happen in regular season games, and occur after one overtime period.
2020-07-10

Improved AV formula for OL and defensive players, resulting in higher AV for top players at those positions. I also updated the MVP and DPOY formulas to account for this, hopefully retaining good position balance.
2020-07-09
 [1] [2]
A bunch of small FBGM improvements.
2020-07-08
 [1]
Tools > Auto Play now lets you specify a phase (playoffs, draft, etc) to sim to, rather than only allowing auto sim to the preseason.
2020-07-07

On the Playoffs page, the series score links to the most recent box score from that series.
2020-07-07

Groundhog Day can be enabled and disabled in the God Mode settings. So you can turn it on and off for different seasons within the same league.

2020-06-29
 [1] [2]
Logos for all the new teams!
2020-06-27
 [1]
Random debuts mode now works how you probably wanted it to work in the first place. The pool of players to be randomized is not just current and future players (relative to your starting season), but past players too. So if you start in 2020, you'll get many future draft classes of randomized real players.
2020-06-27
 [1]
Menu on the Standings page to switch between League/Conference/Division standings, which is important on mobile where previously only the division standings were visible.
2020-06-26
 [1]
Added "Fast Forward" button to live game sim, allowing you to jump ahead by some number of minutes or until the end of the quarter.

2020-06-16
 [1]

2020-06-13
 [1] [2] [3]
A bunch of new options for league creation: challenge modes (no draft picks, no free agents, no trades, no visible ratings), player development realism, and more.
2020-06-08
 [1] [2]
Standings now show when teams clinch the playoffs, a first round bye, or the #1 overall seed.
2020-06-08

Sortable table rows (roster, fantasy draft, football depth chart) can be reordered by clicking two rows to swap them, in addition to dragging like normal. This is sometimes easier on mobile.
2020-06-07
 [1] [2]
Added the News Feed page, available in the League menu. This incorporates a score for each event that happens, allowing you to filter events by importance. This replaces the old Transactions and Event Log pages.
2020-06-03
 [1] [2]
If you use God Mode to retire a player, it checks for Hall of Fame eligibility and notifies you if he makes it. And when you edit a player's contract, it also updates the "Salaries" table on player pages and the "Career Earnings" frivolity.
2020-06-03
 [1] [2]
Realistic rosters back to 1947, including contraction of teams occuring automaticaly at appropriate times.
2020-06-03
 [1] [2]
Revamped Team Records page, including team relocations, renames, and contraction.
2020-06-03

2020-05-26
 [1] [2]
Added a ton of new frivolities and redesigned the frivolities page.
2020-05-24
 [1]
New option "random debuts" when creating a real players league, which randomizes every player's draft year so different players will appear at different times.
2020-05-22

Button on the Create/Edit Player page to randomize player ratings, which works by generating a random player of the same age and copying his ratings over. In FBGM it also matches by position.
2020-05-21
 [1]
When using historical rosters with pre-scheduled expansion drafts, you now are given the option of taking control of expansion teams.
2020-05-20
 [1]
New hair styles! Thanks @TravisJB89
2020-05-20

AI teams draft smarter. Previously the probability they would pick a player depended only on that player's rank, but now it depends on how good the players are. So the AI will almost always take the clear #1 pick, but there will be more randomness if the top available prospects have similar talents.
2020-05-19
 [1] [2]
You can now create a "legends" league filled with the best players in each franchise's history.
2020-05-18
 [1]
Added ability to supply real team info and player photos on the global settings page, which overrides the defaults in any new league with real players.
2020-05-16

Added "Auto adjust for inflation" option to the Team Finances page, which will keep revenue and expense settings in sync with salary cap changes. This setting is enabled by default.
2020-05-14

Shows the team a player was selected from in the "Drafted" table of expansion drafts.
2020-05-14

Historical rosters include team abbreviations that change when a team moves, without breaking links to team pages from past seasons. Some parts of the UI still incorrectly display the current abbreviation rather than the historical one.
2020-05-14
 [1]
"Team History" page shows team region and name from past seasons.
2020-05-13

"Sim to game" button on the schedule page, which now also includes the All-Star game.
2020-05-13

Made AI trade rate proportional to the number of teams, so there aren't too many trades in very small leagues.
2020-05-12
 [1] [2]
Added 4 new draft lottery types, to improve the accuracy of historical leagues.
2020-05-12

 [1]
Revamped the UI for selecting a live game to watch.
2020-05-10

Schedules for leagues with non-standard teams and divisions now have balanced home/away games when possible. Or at least close to that - it's not a deterministic algorithm, but it works pretty well.

New League Stats page which lets you see team stats for all seasons in one table.
2020-05-09
 [1] [2] [3]

2020-05-03

2020-05-03

Added game simulation settings to God Mode to allow for more realistic simulation of different eras of basketball, when things like pace and 3 point shooting were very different.
2020-05-02

Added the ability to change what division/conference a team belongs to from Tools > Manage Teams.
2020-05-02

Added tracking of changes to team info (name, region, logo, etc.) so they can be displayed correctly when viewing historical data. Previously, updating a team's name (for example) would update it when viewing data from past seasons too.
2020-05-01

Added a way to temporarily disable auto save to the Danger Zone screen.
2020-05-01

Added "Acquired" column to the re-signing players table.

2020-02-13
 [1] [2]

Smarter end of half/game clock management, most importantly resulting in more field goals as the clock runs out.
2019-12-11
 [1] [2] [3]
Added a "Budget" option to God Mode, which lets you equalize all the team spending effects (scouting, coaching, facilities, health) and ignore whether your team is making a profit or loss.
2019-12-07

Change team ovr ratings to be unbounded rather than 0-100, because some multiplayer leagues and custom roster files people use have very inflated ratings and half the league ends up at 100.
2019-12-01

Show region population on league finances page.
2019-11-25
 [1]
Player names and countries are now more realistic, rather than just being copied from BBGM.
