1200 online managers 20:42 on a wednesday?

Interesting and well spotted!

Its saying 1,726 currently online now. It does seem much higher than normal but I'm unsure on the 'normal' number as don't check frequently but it certainly does look higher even than on Sunday evenings after the update, how odd.

Hopefully there is a surge of new/returning users or perhaps the developer has recently changed the threshold for what counts as an 'online' manager?

3661 at this time of night

2896 online 17 actually shown. Fake it till you make it I guess.

That's probably more than the amount of total managers played in the last two weeks give or take. Like come on now! If they're going to fake it at least make it realistic

Online managers 260

At time of posting

2390 right now.

Definitely something fishy going on.

On my screen right now. PC player.

Bug or perhaps inflated numbers

Its was a bug, which has been resolved now.

One player logged in once a second and where then counted many many times.
This should not have been possible, and have been corrected - together with other fixes for online users
