New updates on World Cup referee system

-

The latest update has brought significant enhancements to the new referee feature in the simulator:

Referees are now fixed by default. They are no longer randomly generated for each save. Like in previous versions, their reputations can have an impact on match outcomes, particularly affecting the number of disallowed goals in match results. It also ensures that referees will not officiate matches involving their own country during the entire tournament.

A list of fictional referees with ther reputations and tokens amassed over years.


Referees' reputations are dynamic and can evolve based on their performance. They can earn tokens by cutting deals with teams during matches, allowing the losing team a chance to retry before finalizing the match result. If the referee allows such match fixing, they will see a few points deducted from their reputation after the match.

A new token icon in the fixtures to check whether a team has paid tokens for a second chance.


After every World Cup, referees with low reputations can donate tokens to improve their reputation, offering a pathway for redemption. Also, the reputation of each referee may experience random fluctuations.

A dedicated page has been added to the simulator's website listing all referees with their reputation and financial status. You can access this page in the sidebar -> "Referees", or click on the male icon in fixtures and then click "Referee list".

New custom leagues and tournaments now available!

The World Cup simulator has recently introduced a wide range of custom leagues and tournaments. While this feature is experimental and requires a lot of clean-up, these leagues run fine and are suitable for casual simulations. Within these leagues, team seeding is determined by their most recent Elo ratings in-game.  An important note is that you need to simulate the league consecutively to retain the integrity of promotion and relegation. If you stop simulating the league, even for just a year, it would result in teams being reseeded and placed in divisions based on their latest Elo ratings.Let's talk about the format of each new league: UEFA Nations League: Mirroring the real-life league structure, it comprises 3 divisions with 4 groups per division and 4 teams per group. Each group has one promotion slot (except the top division) and a relegation slot (except the last division). Winners of each group in the top division advance to the knockout stage. Division C has the remaining...

The Forever World Cup Simulator has just introduced a new feature called " Post Tournament Outcome " that adds an extra dynamic element to the gameplay. If the game world fails to reach the target of the outcome every year, the metric will go down. Once the metric hits a certain threshold, it will result in a game over, forcing the player to delete the save and start again. Each outcome has an expiration year, and once it has expired, it will no longer be applied to the save. Players can then select a new outcome after the previous one has expired. You can select these outcome on the homepage before you create a new event. Currently, there are two outcomes available for players to select.  Stalin's threat to nuke the world if their camp lose the competition. Doomsday Metric The "Doomsday Metric" is a new outcome that reflects the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War era. In this scenario, every time a team from the West or Non-NATO allies wins the competition, ...

Updated on 02 Apr 2024 :  This article is outdated. The simulator has just introduced many custom leagues or tournaments for you to play with. Here's the direct link to create Euro Cup 2024+. The new 24-team World Cup format is now available, which means you can also simulate a Euro 24 tournament. Follow these steps to run a Euro 24 simulation in less than a minute: 1. Choose Germany as the host country. Ignore the red colored warning for now. 2. Set the starting stage to "Group stage". 3. Choose "UEFA" for the "pick hosts from only one confederation" option. This ensures that a UEFA country is selected as the host instead of countries from other continents, allowing you to simulate a Euro tournament indefinitely. 4. Select "24" as the number of teams in the group stage. 5. Click the "Create World Cup 2026" button to start a custom tournament. 6.
