Boeckham's Football Manager · published · build 21466708
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 not be used in the game so far. But from version 1.13 on, there is a new "..." button in the language menu for loading language files from your hard disk.
More user-friendly is the possibility to upload those files to the Steam Workshop, where they can be subscribed to. In such a case, every subscribed language gets a new dedicated button in the language menu:
I got the idea for custom languages from eboke81 and TonyBoySUPER, who has been very kind to already create a French translation in the Workshop. Merci beaucoup ! :)
How the whole translation and Workshop process works, is described in a new guide I created for this:
But now to the other improvements:
Your players now have separate settings for playing in a club or national team. Until now, this was the same setting, which led to unexpected behaviour, for example, more than 11 players could be on the field, or the automatic lineup did not use the strongest players.
The storyline with the blackmail was fixed, so that you can only get blackmailed once per crime. Now, the story won't haunt you the rest of your career.
There is a new setting to prevent player deaths. Although such tragic accidents are part of a coaching career, not everyone wants to have those in a relaxing game after work.
You can now also adjust the effect of focus training. If you think a player gains too little or too much from it, you can adjust the modifier for that in the settings. In the future, I want to make a new education item, with which you can carry out more than one focus training per week.
The setting for quick dice rolls now won't even show the dice window if you don't stand a chance of winning anyway
The regeneration was reworked and fixed. Players now won't regenerate twice, if they are playing in a club and national team. The endurance won't be exceeding the fitness no more, and having two matches a week will lead to worse regeneration. This is especially true for World Cup matches, so you have to think carefully to which players you give a rest or if you prefer having players with more fitness in your roster.
Waiting for the timer to end during a penalty won't lead to an automatic goal anymore ;)
The board reaction was fixed in some cases, so winning shouldn't make the board no longer grumpy
In the calendar and matches overview (statistics), you can see more easily, if you won or lost a match by using colored paper (an accessibility option with symbols is in the works).
I hope you like the changes and they will contribute to a better and bug-free experience. Have fun winning! :)
