Actually stamina is calculated separately for each match. The problem is fatigue. Someone with three matches a day is most likely going to be fatigued in the third match, which will bring the match rating down.

 

Doesn't stamina have a link with fatigue though?

Not really. Stamina is applied to each match separately, taking account stamina, road agent notes and match length.

 

The amount of fatigue a worker suffers has nothing to do with the actual stamina stat, but toughness, match style, length and road agent notes.

 

So while fatigue gets worse as the worker has more matches, in every match stamina is still the same (doesn't get worse).

But the best way is to shortlist the workers you're interested in. When their contracts are up, you'll get an e-mail.</p>

<p>Late to the party here, but I just discovered what the "secret feature" is and noticed that enabling and disabling the feature is possible via remote assistance (as of a recent update)</p><p> </p><p>

I was curious as to whether the disabling and enabling the secret feature in a 15+ year game would effectively reset it. </p><p> </p><p>

My game is currently in the year 2060...and I haven't seen it. Based on what I've read I probably won't at this rate unless there was a way to reset it.</p><p> </p><p>

...probably only a question for Adam</p>

Since you absorb the profit/loss of your child companies they will generally have very low cash when you sever the link. They might not close, but they aren't generally in a good spot when they are free of you.</p>

<p>I posted this here not knowing where to put it, honestly.</p><p> </p><p>

When I open a thread with renders or cuts and am logged in, all I see is links to the image. But if I am logged out, I can see the image.</p><p> </p><p>

Why might this be?</p>

<p>Is there any way to expand the game screen size?</p><p>

It only uses a portion of my large screen and I would rather it took up the whole screen. (I set screen resolution to use a smaller resolution but the game looked horribly fuzzy not to mention when I shrank it back down my desktop was a mess.)</p><p>

I know, I'm just an old guy with eye problems ...</p>
