Stadium Problems
There have been a few reports of people having problems with stadiums after the 1.21 patch. Unfortunetly we can't really do anything about it but Nova (EA SPORTS) has reported it to the developers and this is going to be a top priority. We will give you an update as soon as we get more information, thanks for your patience.

Official 1.21 Patch Released
Great news, today EA SPORTS released patch 1.21 for download. Patch 1.21 is basically patch 1.2 with the staff bug that was introduced in 1.2 fixed. Some people have even reported that it improved the 3d match engine, but this was not confirmed by EA SPORTS therefore may not be true.

You can download the patch from the official site by clicking here. It will also be uploaded to our download center when everything is sorted out with our new download manager.

BANNERS

After the voting is done the winner will receive a Newcastle United shirt signed by Bobby Robson and a Wembley Turf Globe, with the two runners up winning a Wembley Turf Globe each. All three prize winners will then have their banners submitted to the developers of FIFA in Canada, to be considered as artwork in the next game. Simply post your image here to submit your entree.

Andrew No Longer Webmaster
Unfortunetly, Andrew will no longer work on TCM Online. This I know is very disappointing, for many people including myself and hopefully he will continue making excellent patches such as the ball physics patch for TCM 2003. I will be taking over the management of the site and will try my best to continue to give you guys the latest tcm news and contents. Please do not send your files to andrew@sportsgoal.com, until we find a new download manager no new files will be added. Sorry and thanks for your patients.

Official Patch 1.21 Announced
EA Sports has announced today status of the 1.21 patch. They have said that it is in the first stage of testing but they do not anticipate it to be released next week. There will be not much changes from this patch except for fixing the staff bug that was introduced in patch 1.20. This will pretty much be patch 1.20 without the staff bug.

There will be two downloads.

1) A replacement file for Patch 1.20 which will update games from Patch 1.10 to Patch 1.21. This is for anyone who has NOT already installed Patch 1.20.

2) A smaller file, specifically for those who have already installed Patch 1.20. This will update games from 1.20 to 1.21.

More information will be posted when we find out more.

Click here for the announcement.

3d Mode Breakthrough
JARiise has discovered a way to get rid of the problem of wingers playing as strikers in the 3d mode.

Here are the steps to getting it to work...

1. Choose a menu formation that includes a winger

2. In the individual orders menu tell your two wingers to "all out attack."

3. Start the 3d match and the wingers won't keep going into strikers position.

Now we can finally see wingers crossing the ball into the box and striker scoring. Thankyou JARiise for this major breakthrough.
