I have just noted I'm 1 year away from 10 years of loyalty.

I was wondering if there is a badge that can be created that managers receive for perhaps 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years etc etc of loyalty.

The other way you can fix the youth pull issue is allow non members to select from the 2 lowest nations & random.

I have random, and I don't recall getting a Kenyan or Bermudian for over 2 seasons.

If I had the option of those 2 or random, I would probably alternate between the 3 options.

Does the nationality have any impact on the youth pull starting stats? To be more precise, if I pull a player from either Australia or Bangladesh in a given week, the starting stats will be the same irrespective of the country?

Yes, the nationality has no bearing on quality; academy level inc chances of a good recruit but the rest is purely random

How reliable are the overall batting or bowling skills the game suggests? I have two players with almost the same skills, but ones overall batting skill turned out better than the other. Is it due to the sub ratings?

I've had several players go down in overall batting / bowling skill 5 weeks ago. They were all youths.
So what else (besides sub ratings) does influence this?

1. its the fielder selected to make the catch but his chance on passing is based on how good the team fielding is for the match ratings


2. I am sure you know the answer to this one

I'm a bit confused what that means.

Is the chance to pass the check based on the fielder's skill level or the team's average fielding level?
i.e does the individual field's skill level matter or only the team's average?
The selected fielders level is compared to the games level, and that determines what their chances are - then random number is generated to pass/fail.
