Hi everyone, Until now, I tried my best to add all changes in a manner that older savegames will continue to work. Having the foreign leagues in the game has now caused a problem that could possibly lead to problematic savefiles. The issue is fixed now, and this hotfix also contains a workaround that should keep the savefiles working. To be precise, clubs from Norway, Denmark, and the Czech Rep…
Hello everyone, Once again, a few weeks have passed since the last update. I hope the new additions will enhance your experience with the game. First, I managed to integrate the foreign leagues - 19 to be precise - so every country has at least its complete first league. These will be simulated as well as the cup in that country. That way, the Master League and Europe Cup participants can now b…
Hello everyone, I have spent quite some time writing a making of Boeckham's Football Manager. The development journey starts in my youth, when I discovered my love for programming, and spans over some years until the final release last year. The article has now been released on GamersGlobal: Right now, it is only available in German (sorry!), but you can make good use of the translation functio…
Hi everyone, It has been a long time since the last update - my apologies for that! The past few weeks were full of turmoil, but I don't want to mention this as an excuse, but to assure you: Boeckham is still in my focus and is still in active development. But now to something completely more interesting. What is new in this update? The main feature is the board goals that the higher-ups will p…
Hi everyone, This update brings some small and big enhancements (at least I hope it does). From now on, the game supports loading custom translations. I would love to offer more translations on my end, because there are football management lovers all around the world, but for such a small game, it is economically not possible to provide. Community translations are a cool thing, but those could…
Hi everyone, With this update, the youth player system has been reworked. Previously, a new youth player would magically appear in your team after a few weeks. From now on, there will be several review events for youth players who are currently living in the academy. For each player, you can decide whether to continue training them in the academy, extract them early to the main team, or release…
Hello everyone, No 90s management game could live without local multiplayer. That is why this update mainly focuses on enhancements for the multiplayer mode. Previously, some features were not properly supported, or calculations were incorrect, for example, all users were assigned the same main sponsors. In a game, only the first user could make substitutions or determine the playing style. Thi…
Hi everyone, Boeckham's Football Manager has hit the magical milestone of 1001 downloads. I am very grateful and give my wholehearted thanks to everyone who gave this little indie game a chance. My expectations for the release were nowhere near that number. I would have been happy with 100 downloads. 500 was already a fantasy. And now you multiplied the number I hoped for by ten. Thank you for…
Hi all, The last update to a newer version of Unity introduced the bug for some players that the screen is zoomed in and the settings can't be accessed. This hotfix adds a shortcut so you can use the TAB key to open the settings and adjust the screen size. This should work in Windows and the Steam Deck.
Hey everyone, After the last update to the new Unity version, the launcher just disappeared. There you could set the screen resolution of the game. Because of that, I added those setting directly into the game in the settings menu: You can now also chose between exclusive fullscreen and fullscreen window. Have fun with it :)
Hi everybody, Maybe you already heard: Unity - the game engine behind many games - suffered from a recently discovered security issue that existed since 2017. Until now, there do not appear to have been any problems, and Unity and Steam have taken countermeasures. But as a recommendation, every game should make an update to close this security issue. This update 1.10.2 does exactly that. The on…
Hi all, This hotfix corrects a bug in the Steam-Workshop upload. Also, the rendering of the money chart in the statistics screen for money values above 2B was corrected.
Hey everyone, The main highlight of this update is the integration of the Steam Workshop ! That means club files and logos can now be shared directly through Steam — no more manual copying needed. Nothing’s standing in the way of using the original clubs and logos anymore. Here’s how it works: once you’ve loaded, edited, and saved a club file in the editor, the Upload to Steam button becomes ac…
Hi everyone, With this Update, you can customize the difficulty level not only by using the five presets, but you can create your own presets: At the start of the game, there is a new cog icon. In the cofiguration window you can finetune many modifiers. They act as multipliers, which means: if a number is set to 1.5, then the related value in the game will be multiplied by 1.5. If you get 10 re…
Hi everyone, This update was meant as a hotfix for the bug that money turned negative once it reached over 2 billion (thanks to Strohmann and RadlerAndi). Also, two stories could block the game (thanks to Waldi98). Both are fixed now, so you can get insanely rich again (although you could take a philosophical view on the idea, that no one should own more than 2 billion) ;) But a new feature als…
Hi everyone, Today's update brings a few bug fixes that were causing trouble in some circumstances. · Fix for the Master League participant always being the same, no matter who won the league · Fix for the lower information bar, if the roster value got over 2 billion (yes, that happened :D) · Fix for returning players that were loaned, and could cause 12 players to be set to play · Fix for a st…
Hi everyone, This update brings you the following additions and fixes: · You can now create custom save files, just use the "..." button instead of the fixed 1 to 4 ones. The last used directory will be saved in the settings. (Thanks to gelbert1) · Fixed the calculation of income / expenses when no match has been played. You will still get money from sponsors, souvenirs, etc. and national teams…
Hi everyone, 1.8.1 is a small hotfix that fixes some softlock issues that made progressing to the next week in the game impossible. · Fix for switching to a new team and using the manual lineup of your players. Sometimes you could not reach the next week after a match · Fix for never-ending cheering players, in case you set the match speed during a celebration to ultra-fast or result only · Fix…
Hi all, In this update, everything is about a new competition: the Europe Cup. The teams placed 2nd to 5th will participate, unless the normal cup winner is not part of them. That team will then replace the 5th. The competition ties into the game like the others and takes place during the season. Results can be viewed in the stats screen, the main sponsor will pay an extra sum (subject to negot…
Hi everyone, · critical fix for skipping a match without involvement directly after loading. This could result in a halt of the game · fix for automatic lineup of teams you have managed and left. If you played with manual lineup then the teams were putting less and less players on the pitch after your departure · fix for aging of cards for teams in other leagues. Such teams could end up with on…
Hi everyone, In the last update, there was a bug that could leave your players weaker than before when retraining them to their preferred position. This is fixed now! I am sorry for the inconveniences.
Hi everyone, This update introduces some new settings, and adjusts some content that was getting on your nerves ;) · Skip matches without user involvement: on a match day without a match that you have to manage, all matches will be calculated at once, and you can go to the next week without having to adjust the match speed, click "Start matches" and then reset the match speed · Skip pre-match g…
Hi everyone, After my vacation, my productivity suffered a bit, but luckily, Mike created a lot of new graphics. Now, there are real differences in style for every upgrade of the bigger buildings. Here you can see it by the example of the restaurant: Many thanks again to Mike, I think the sense of progress is much better now and adds a lot of flair to the atmosphere. For the real nostalgic, the…
Hi all, With update 1.6 the game now records your season performance as a coach and that of clubs. That way, you can trace your career steps and achievements that were earned over time. You can view that data in the stats panel when selecting "History". If you click on your username, you can see your personal history. Using the dropdown, you can also look into the historic events of other clubs…
Hello everyone, Thsi Hotfix gets rid of a bug that could occur at the start of the World Cup and would not let a match run. Furthermore, the generation of names is more robust regarding duplicates. The editor has been debugged a little bit and you can now add countries to an edited team. But this data is not used for anything right now, it will be of importance in the next update (Hint: Europea…
Hey everyone, Update 1.5 has left the beta phase successfully and is now part of the main game. In case you have checked out the beta branch, you may now return to the main branch again. Thank you for your feedback! :-) In case you missed the new content for update 1.5, just check out the announcement a few days back.
