A sync bug was removing seasons from career profiles (different totals on phone vs laptop). Fixed today. Nothing is lost; every season is still stored.

To restore yours: open play16zero.com once on every device/browser you've played on. That's it, it syncs back automatically.

Don't clear browser data before that first visit.

Still wrong after that? Please feel free to comment here, and I'll personally fix your account.

Two big things just went live.

Player cards

Every strong season now earns you a collectable card. Four tiers: Standard, Rare, Epic, Icon. You earn them by drafting well, not by buying packs.

• Hit 14-2 or better in Normal or Expert to start pulling cards
• Expert mode earns one tier higher than Normal for the same record
• Daily Challenge top 4 finishers earn a card every day
• Streak milestones (3, 7, 15, 30 days) each unlock one
• 3,197 cards in the full set, every franchise has its own colours

Your collection lives at /cards. Full earn ladder at /player-cards.

Engine rebuilt

The entire dataset has been re-audited against ball-by-ball match data from every IPL season.

• 165+ fake all-rounders demoted. A player only counts as an AR in seasons he actually bowled
• 140 batting positions corrected to match real batting orders
• Keeper and finisher tags are now season-true
• Stacking 4+ openers no longer gets you to 16-0. Squad balance matters now

If your old strategy relied on loading up fake all-rounders or opener stacking, it's time to rethink.
