New two-leg knockout tournament format now available.

-


The Forever World Cup Simulator has introduced a new two-leg knockout home-away format, which closely mirrors real-life international football tournaments:

  • The first leg and second leg matches are played with the teams alternating home and away.
  • If the total scores from the first leg and second leg regular time are the same, the match goes to extra time.
  • If the scores are still tied after extra time, the winner is decided by a penalty shootout.

To make the fixture less confusing or cluttered, the presentation has been tweaked with a few enhancements:

  • A divider has been added between each match-up to clearly separate the fixtures.
  • A small "W" label has been added to help identify the winner of two-leg playoff matches.

As a result of this new format, the following custom leagues have had their knockout rounds upgraded to the two-legged home and away format:

New two-leg custom knockout tournaments have also been added, like 256-team two-leg knockout tournament.

It's important to note that the simulator does not allow users to simulate the second leg before the first leg, which is a logical restriction to maintain the integrity of the two-leg format.

You can check out the winners of each tournament per year easily. Two weeks ago, the Forever World Cup Simulator has undergone a significant expansion, allowing you to simulate a wide range of custom tournaments and leagues beyond just the World Cup. This includes popular competitions like the Euro Cup, Asia Cup, Africa Cup, and UEFA Nations League, as well as some fictional leagues like the Global League and Alternative League. Today, a new update has been released giving you the ability to simulate multiple tournaments concurrently within the same year. You are no longer limited to just one tournament per year. Now, you can run the World Cup alongside other major competitions like the Copa America, Euros, Asian Cup, and African Cup in the same season. Select as many tournaments as you want per year. By default, the simulator pre-selects a few popular tournaments, including the Euro Cup, ASEAN OFC Cup, AFC Cup, CAF Cup, Copa America, and a 48-team World Cup format. This ensures that t...

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, ...
