...2nd important question: Does giving a player a contract extension cause them to immediately slow down in training??

Nope. Age and Stars are what slows them.


A somewhat related question
Do they leave at the end of the season or 7 days into the next season?

Their contract runs out at Season end, and you have the first week of the new Season to sign them. (I usually sign them before it runs out so I'm not sure, but I think first two days it's only a 2yr contract)


Couple other small things. How on earth do you tell what server you are on?

Also does anyone keep track of how your fan base grows? ...

Keep your tix low enough for full attendance and win matches/Championships. Also in friendlies you can gain a few.


I dislike the level attendance limits very much. At the lower levels the income from games isn't that big anyway and it is annoying being stuck with 19k fans in a 43k seat stadium when I have nearly twice as many fans as I have seats.......

You built too fast. NEVER rush building. (I made the same mistake, btw...)


Does the game consider fans to be just supporters in general or more like paying club members. If it is the prior then you obviously cannot expect every single supporter to show up for each game or anywhere near half for that matter. I am a Chelsea fan but I can't attend matches because I live thousands of miles away lol.

Fans are as you say supporters in general, they wont all attend like a season ticket holder.
