Another bug to look at is the kicker or punter/team chemistry bug. I believe it's the punter, but it's been a while since I've seen it that I'm not certain, but if you play a new player at that position for just one game, the player will have max team chemistry. Minor bug, but should also be fairly easy to fix I would think.

Quick update.

It was decided that the best way forward is to rewrite the engine code and make it easier to update, debug and also make it more portable in case of server switch.

Engine algorithms and calculations will NOT change. Rewrite here meaning that the engine will finally be free from dependancies to (very) old libraries and similar stuff (remember that the code is now over 15 years old!).

And it's going quite fast (faster than expected to be honest). With any luck, the tests with friendly games should be starting in just a couple of weeks.

During the rewrite, many bugs will also be eradicated.
At this moment, the Stamina bug, the "segmentation errors" (not processing matches), wrong result set for "get matches to be played" query and a bug in saving a few statistics for defence team are all being addressed.
Programmer also addressed a bug that was calculating "exhaustion" wrong for a few player attributes.

So, thanks for your patience. Programmer is working hard on this, basically checking the code line by line, and I'll let you know when I get some additional news.
