Before you send, you see what your offer triggers, and the other side's patience is shown as a bar next to it. You can also resume a negotiation later.MatchdayThe VAR overturns goals. Until now every check e...

This time it's mostly about the dressing room: free team talks are gone, you play cards instead. There's also a serious season 2 bug fix and a tutorial to get you started.Dressing room cardsInstead of the team talk, you play one dressing room card before kick-off and one at half-time. In the second half, both work together. The speech after the final whistle is gone.The season starts with three ca...

2.0: End of Early Access on November 1Hi everyone,as you have probably noticed, the pace of updates and patches has slowed down a little over the past few weeks.There is a good reason for that: the game has reached a level of maturity I am very happy with. Many systems fit together well, the balancing is in a good place, and the foundation for version 2.0 is in place.That is why Early Access will ...

This one is about a question the game never asked before: why should a good player stay at your club of all places?Players make demandsFrom strength 65 a player looks at what your club has. Nine demands, rising from the medical department to the players' lounge. Between 65 and 78 it is soft: every unmet demand costs you nine percent in wages. He still signs, just for more money. From 79 no amount ...

Almost everything here comes from your feedbackTrainingThe readout showed only half the week: "+7.7 fitness" was the training plan, the -8 to -16 points a match costs appeared nowhere.

Almost everything here came out of the forum. Thanks for reporting, that is how you find what is missing.SquadPlayers out on loan were invisible to you. They sit in the squad of the club that borrowed them and showed up nowhere in yours. The new Ins & outs tab lists them: who is coming back, who is arriving on a pre-contract, who has to return at the end of the season and who leaves on a free. All...

Two of the fixes below come straight from the Steam forum. Thanks for reporting them, that is how these get found.World and fixturesIf you play a tier with several sections, season two merged them into one giant league: 30 matchdays became 94. The season rollover built the fixture list without the section. North, South and West stay apart now.Season ticketsSmall clubs never sold a single season ti...

Some Minor Changes and FixesA board sponsor now delivers exactly the benefit printed on it. Before, the second partner from the same trade counted only half and the third a quarter, and nothing anywhere said so: a main sponsor and a board with +6% TV money each came to 15 instead of the 18 percent you could read off them.From the second season on, the season forecast stood still. It showed last se...

This one is mostly about things that were already there but never quite worked. And about a question from the forum: how much of the match do you actually want to see?MatchdayFour levels instead of one: the stadium as before, a flat top-down view with 22 discs, dressing room only, or just the result. You can switch per game: the derby live, the rest right away.The flat view costs 0.30 instead of 7...

This one is almost all matchday: we analysed three real games with tracking data and measured the broadcast against them, instead of tuning it by feel. On top of that, a rebuild of the youth setup, where the AI had taken an advantage for itself.MatchdayWho gets the pass is now decided by a model built from 1,763 real passing decisions: distance, space, open passing lane. It matches 43.3% of the re...

Transfer marketThe weekly cost of a free agent is now stated correctly.Free agents add 35 to 75 percent to their wage, because no transfer fee is due. That did not apply to expired contracts, even though both sit in the same list and look the same. Now they ask for the same.UI: the offers column has been re-gridded.
