Striker Path v2.0.4 — only the games you played, and your own flag

Most of this one is about numbers that were not yours, and flags that were not there.

⚠️ Your record may have gone down — on purpose

Friendlies now count only for the club that starts them. If someone challenged your club to a friendly, your players were being credited with the appearance, the result, the goals, even man of the match — for a game your club never agreed to play. That has stopped, and the records it already wrote have been taken back. 154 players were carrying stats they never earned; one of them had 41 appearances and had actually played 14.
Nothing you earned was touched. Only the credit from friendlies somebody else started against you. Your own matches, your own results, all still there.

Your country shows its flag now. The leaderboard used to print the country's name spilling out of its badge, because almost every player had their country stored as a word rather than a code. Every player has been converted, and there are flags for all sixty-eight countries the game offers instead of a handful.
The country leaderboard actually finds people. It matched on the code, so with names stored it was finding fifty-two players out of seven hundred and sixty-one. It works now.
The country picker offers every country. It was showing seventeen of them, so most players could not pick where they are from.

You play the club you picked. Choosing a rival for a friendly sent your choice nowhere, so the game matched you against someone of its own choosing — the same one nearly every time. It sends it now.

Clubs stop wearing each other's crest. On any screen with more than one crest — a league table, the leaderboard, the crest builder — every crest was being cut out with whichever shape was drawn first on the page. A shield came out diamond-shaped while its own border still drew a shield.
Your player fills his frame. He sat a few pixels short of the bottom border on a computer, and on a narrow phone he overflowed it and got cropped. The frame's corner ornaments now hang in front of him rather than behind.
A generated face brings its own skin tone. The body is painted with the colour taken from your AI face. When that reading came out paler or darker than expected it used to be thrown away, and the body kept the colour you picked before the face existed — one player had a light face on a dark brown body.
Club names are clickable again. The card that appears when you hover one was landing on top of the very name you were aiming at.

Team training has a door on the training screen. It could only be reached through Club and then Squad, which nobody finds while standing on training.
The shirt number at the top of the screen opens your profile. Rank and your league already did.

A photo we could not check is no longer blamed on your photo. The upload screen said "we couldn't verify your photo" and "we need a frontal, solo face" at the same time. Only the first was ever true, and people kept swapping selfies that were never the problem.

Keep them coming in <#🐛│bugs>. Almost every line above started there. ⚽
