LemonFC - Der Fußball-Manager · public · first seen
This is our biggest update so far! Tactics decide more, the weather plays along, transfers work more realistically, and LemonFC now has its own soundtrack.
A note on music and sound: Right after release, the Steam version had problems with music and stadium sounds. We pushed out several hotfixes to deal with them. Thank you to everyone who reported the issues! Music and sounds now work as intended in the Steam version. If something still doesn't sound right on your end, please let us know in the discussions.
Original soundtrack: Ten instrumental songs. Off by default – turn it on in the options, with a volume slider and a "Next »" button.
Deselect any song individually, and add your own songs.
During a match in the live ticker, the music pauses and carries on afterwards.
Stadium sounds: Cheers when the home team scores, boos for away goals and red cards. Live ticker only, off by default.
Tactics matter: Every playing philosophy now has clear strengths and weaknesses. Which one fits depends on the opponent and the score – none is always the best. The Tactics tab explains the strengths in plain words, and the live ticker shows you when a tactic takes effect.
Other clubs use tactics too: Every coach has his own style, adapts to the opponent and reacts at half-time. Some stubbornly stick to their system.
Weather: Every week has its own weather, at every location. It affects the pitch, training and matches. The main screen shows the current week and a forecast for the next.
Illness: Players can fall ill, from a common cold to a flu wave – more often in winter. Sick players are marked with 🤒 in the squad, the header and the player file.
Absences to the day: Injured and sick players are out until a fixed date. The player file shows when a player is available again.
New player file: Condition (fitness, form, morale) at the very top, followed by personal details, contract, season table, career and skills by group.
New events: Twelve new stories from everyday club life, plus fourteen Halloween events that only appear in October.
Fixtures as a list: Switch between calendar and list view in the calendar.
Transfers rethought: You first negotiate with the player, then with his club. You can ask about his willingness to move beforehand. If a move fails because of the club, the club tries to keep the player with a better contract.
Free transfers in the summer: From the winter break of the final contract year, a player may sign a pre-contract for the summer with any club. Anyone who wants him immediately pays only a fraction of the fee. This applies to your players as well – you get one chance to counter.
Loans: A dedicated squad section for loaned-out players, with their appearances, goals and ratings at the loan club. Fewer unsolicited loan requests, now with a button to decline them. Loan offers show the expected role and can appear in their own window (can be switched off in the options). In loan talks you see right away whether the club agrees with your demand.
Amateurs: Clubs relegated to the Regionalliga lose most of their players. The players don't vanish – they look for new clubs. Big fallen clubs have better chances of a comeback thanks to their stadium and facilities.
Substitution rule: At most three stoppages for substitutions; substitutions at half-time don't count. Applies to you and every other club.
Rest periods count: Full fitness only exists at the start of your career. After that, the squad recovers during the breaks. Without a job, stress gradually wears off.
No artificial boost: Promoted and relegated teams keep their strength, with no bonus or penalty.
Other clubs: Coaches perform differently depending on their ability, and big clubs hire more experienced coaches. In-game substitutions happen more often and more realistically. Summer transfers are spread across the whole break. Clubs keep a financial reserve instead of spending all their money.
Money at other clubs: Professional clubs cover the losses of their reserve teams. Foreign clubs in financial trouble sell players instead of cutting wages.
Cards: Goalkeepers see yellow cards less often, red cards are rarer, and hotheads are booked more often again.
Dragging in the line-up: The position grid appears as soon as you start dragging and shows the zones exactly as they apply when you let go. Players land exactly where you drop them and stand in their own zone in every formation. "🗺️ Show zones" keeps the grid visible permanently.
Line-up: If a player in your starting eleven drops out, a substitute steps in and stays in until you change things. A message tells you who is playing for whom. With "↑" you can bring a player in from the stand even when the bench is full.
Pitch: The pitch wears out about half as fast.
Coaching experience: You gain slightly less experience in the lower leagues – the same for you and every other coach.
Locked buttons for loaning and listing now show why they're unavailable when you tap them, on mobile too.
"Continue" without scrolling: The most important button stays in view even on small screens – at half-time, after the match and in the player ratings.
Faster: Autosave now runs in the background and slows the game down less.
Music and sound in the Steam version: Several hotfixes fixed issues where music and stadium sounds didn't start or songs ended too early.
One player at two clubs: In rare cases a player was sold twice or created twice during the summer break, even after being sacked. This can no longer happen.
Messages match the effect: One-on-one talks, press conferences and events now state the actual change.
Press conferences: Questions fit the match – for example, no question about the away point after a home game and no target question after the final matchday.
European competitions: In the preview, the host is shown on the left. A club that qualified through the league is no longer missing from the field.
Language switch: Older bookings and messages now fully follow the selected language. Numbers and dates remain correctly formatted.
Player file: The arrow keys take you through every foreign squad without getting stuck. No more horizontal scroll bar. The transfer fee again depends correctly on the remaining contract length.
Results: Foreign leagues no longer show matches from the previous season after the season change.
Line-up: No more duplicate players on the bench. Dragging only swaps players when you drop onto the centre of a player.
Miscellaneous: Team of the Year weighs playing time more fairly, career goals include the current season, and several English texts have been corrected.
Have fun with the update, and thank you for playing and for reporting bugs! ⚽🍋
