5.1When games settle
The day's fixtures settle at 10:00 UTC. Later in the day the system works through finances, the market, scouting and the rest of the daily business.
Once a game has settled you can open it for the score, individual performances, the box score and the full text play-by-play.
Before tip-off, the game page is where you confirm the opponent, home or away, and which tactic this fixture will use. After the final buzzer it is a review tool: read the box score and the minutes first, then go back into the play-by-play to understand where the game turned.
5.2Default, saved and per-game tactics
| Type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Default tactic | Your club's standard plan. Any fixture you have not set up individually uses it. |
| Tactic slots | Storage for complete setups. Build plans in advance for particular opponents, lineups or goals, then load, edit or apply one whenever you need it instead of starting from scratch. |
| Per-game tactic | A plan attached to a single fixture. It overrides the default for that game only, and changes neither your club default nor any other fixture. |
In practice, make your default the version that best matches how your squad is built, and keep the slots for alternative styles. Reach for a per-game tactic when you need something for a specific opponent, when you want to protect a particular player, or when a playoff series calls for a change of pace.
