So I have read the posts about the training matches not working and it should be fixed on Monday, but does anyone have any idea what the new info displayed on the map is all about, almost seems like we might earn medals or maybe get ranked on the matches??

Its a MB free ranking system that they have implemented on their American football game, not sure if it is going to be implemented here or not though.

How it works is your map is always full of players ranked higher than you (I think its up to 20 positions higher than you) that you can challenge for their position. If you win the game you move up to the rank that the person you challenged held and he and all the players below him up to your old position drop down one position. You gain fans and money as per normal for a win.

You are however limited to five games initiated by you per day so you need to pick your opponents carefully because if you lose you lose one of your 5 games and get no money for the game. Once the 5 games are completed your map will remain full but you cannot challenge anyone. The game timer resets at the same time that your player salaries get paid.

Unless you are number 1 of course when you get a sarcastic message to go along with a target at your head from hundreds of hit men around the world!
