Maybe about 10% of the time the horses are breeding true and about 15 % of the time it is only a few percentent less. The realised potential (dark green bar) is still only catching up with the absolute potential about 2% of the time. Hi - quick question have you found with the patches the improvement in saved games or do I need to restart one? Cheers

I found that the patches seemed to take effect when I started a new season.

 Re: Breeding diary
I just got back in today from my hols and I just started playing a new game tonight and it seems the game has been massively improved since a week or so ago, it gives u a chance now.

Darren You would probably be alright continuing with the same game, like I said I am using the same game, but if you decide to start a new game, export all your best horses from the old game. I think you can now import 16 horses at a time now. Since your game is only 5 seasons old, you wouldn't lose much by starting a new save with horses imported from the old save.

 Re: Breeding diary
Hi Paul
Are you playing a long term game?
Are you still going to auctions to find the breeding stock?
I am visiting every daily\weekly auction but have never seen anything with the bars you have. The best results I have achieved is breeding with the gamebred stallions in the breeding barn. I have loads of 100% potential horses but they don't mature till 5yo.
I am currently playing a saved game that is 35 seasons on and have auctioned off at least 15 x 100% G1 winning horses hoping the AI will produce something better. Nothing has turned up so far.

 Re: Breeding diary
just constantly breeding like a maniac Jim 100s of mares to game sires the pitty here is both are mares so what ever i breed them with the bars will most likely go down if i can find a sire with similar bars i may have hit the jackpot but with the new breeding even if that happens does not mean the offspring will be as good

 Re: Breeding diary
Still playing so6 so I’m not keeping up with anyone. Nice to see breeding seems to have become less ridiculous.

Luckily for me I did a bit of breeding before SO7 came along and I just have to run my trials Has anyone played the jumps yet because I've just played it again tonight and the game is still unplayable  If its stays like that then i'll never play it , it is 100% god awful.

What exactly makes the jumps game unplayable in your opinion Ghostzapper? (Just interested to hear your views really)
