Nations League + European Cup 2028 There is a new dedicated European Cup 2028 event. It must be simulated alongside the Nations League to determine the correct seeding for the qualifiers. Without the Nations League, the event will not work at all. The eight teams that reach the quarter-finals of the Nations League will be placed in Pot 1, but the top four will be guaranteed places in the smalle…
Assists & Matches Each match’s event table now displays the assister for most goals. There are situations where goals are unassisted , such as direct free kicks or goals scored after a forward wins the ball from a defender.

Editor Accordion interface The "Qualifications", "Host conditions" and "Initial league teams" sections now use an accordion to display rules one by one, so you can switch between rules without scrolling up and down annoyingly. You can also customize the accordion header text for each rule to make it easier to understand what the rule is supposed to do. Hosts Removing a host condition will autom…
Enhanced Host Rules in Editor Each host condition now supports multiple selection rules, so you can have greater control over how competition hosts are chosen. Previously, you could define only one shared criterion for all hosts in a condition. For example, the 2 AFC + 1 OFC condition required all three hosts to meet the same minimum Elo rating of 1600. This made it impossible to set different…
Eras Every few seasons, the simulator will introduce a new era, with each era focusing on a specific team attribute, such as attack, defense, or mentality. During an era, teams will be more likely to develop the featured attribute as their strength / strong field. As a result, that attribute will improve at a faster rate throughout the era. To view the past eras, click the "Eras" button on the…

It should only…
Your custom rankings can now appear automatically on team cards, so that you no longer have to visit the “Active Teams” page just to check a team’s rank. Confederation and world rankings are set automatically for all national teams by default. This custom ranking feature is especially useful if you have both club and national teams because you may want to have separate rankings for them in the…

Major Team & Player Updates In earlier versions, a player’s nationality was linked directly to the team they played for. This caused issues when players were generated from club teams, as their nationality could be the club itself which really does not make sense. To fix this, the team editor now includes two new settings: Team type - Set a team as either "Club" or "National". Home country - De…
Players A potential attribute is used to set a soft ceiling on player development. If a performance attribute (such as attack or defense) exceeds the potential value, it is likely to be pulled back over time. Potential may also change slightly each season. The attribute can be edited using the player editor. At the start of each save, players may have lower initial ratings, allowing them to dev…
