New in this version:

  • Create your own countries in the editor: set up leagues, cup, promotion, relegation and playoffs freely. 78 country templates and a selectable league level.
  • God mode: editor changes apply instantly in your running career. Your own team names per league, also for historical countries.
  • Editor reworked: friendlier retro design (mobile and PC), new South America category, complete country flag selection, and countries can be excluded from a custom database. Excluded countries then no longer appear in team selection either.
  • Home currencies: pick from over 60 currencies (US dollar, yen, rupee, peso and more) in the options or right in team selection, with a language-matched preselection. The display converts automatically.
  • New language: Arabic (machine translated).
  • Clearer sponsoring: pitchside ads and fan merchandise in a unified design; pitchside ads + external merchandise are paid out once at the start of the season. A new help button explains when each income arrives (e.g. TV money only at season end).
  • New country Brazil: its own currency, three leagues, a domestic cup and a South American continental cup with its own participants.
  • Pitchside advertising: several ad partners depending on stadium size.
  • Fan merchandise: run the fan shop yourself (quantity and price) or license it out externally.
  • Hire staff: physio, fitness coach, assistant coach, goalkeeping coach, scout.
  • Assistant coach picks the eleven: a hired assistant coach fills your lineup at the push of a button, following your instruction (strongest, most in-form or freshest eleven). Injured and suspended players stay out, and a captain is appointed if needed: the higher his level, the better his choices.
  • Awards: Manager of the Year and Player of the Year.
  • Fairer leaderboard: ranking now counts weighted points (difficulty and starting team). Raw career points remain visible for context.
  • Active leagues: choose in team selection which countries are simulated in the background.
  • Opponent preview reworked: the pre-match info now comes as clear cards (opponent name, match type, table and record, team and position strength, morale, last five results as chips, referee with strictness).
  • Performance: faster game start and lower memory usage (on-demand loading).
  • Club finances rebalanced: sponsor success bonuses, pitchside ads and fan shop revenue reduced; new are trading costs, ad-board rent, team bonuses and taxes on season profit. Win nothing and none of it applies.
  • Bugfixes: cross-device issue with custom countries, EU cup self-healing for stuck schedules, the AI no longer immediately takes off players who just came on, the referee changes per matchday again in instant mode, injury types and layoff times are correct again (in other languages too), no more flash of the old view on scene changes, minor fixes.

Note on the leaderboard: The fair weighted scoring may have shifted existing rankings. Your raw points stay visible, your achievement remains your achievement.
