Anyway, good luck with whatever you do.
Thanks, mate. If I remember correct, Football Manager had all the above factors included in their game 15-20 years ago. It's not that hard to implement if there's a will. Those are pretty basic and easy fixes, to be honest. Any programmer worth his or her title would be able to make it happen.

I'm aware of the fact that the game isn't that complicated and is thus based on random probability (I know, it doesn't even make sense, but neither does TE), which is the whole reason for my animosity towards it.
