Whistle1 - Retro Football Manager · published · build 23242059
Italy, France and Spain are now playable — each with their own 1st, 2nd and 3rd division (18 leagues total instead of 9). Over 170 new league teams, 240 cup amateur teams and ~26,000 new players. 3 new domestic cups plus country-specific referees and 120 new sponsor brands.
Completely redesigned language panel: 8 columns × 6 rows with flag + language name in its own script, full UI live-update on every language switch, touch-scroll also on small screens. 9 new languages added: Chinese (中文), Japanese (日本語), Korean (한국어), Hindi (हिन्दी), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Traditional Chinese (繁體中文), Bengali (বাংলা), Tamil (தமிழ்), Telugu (తెలుగు). 47 languages total now available.
🌐 Existing translations improved
Numerous improvements to existing translations — more natural wording, correct football terminology and consistent style across all 47 languages.
Tidy layout with three clearly separated sections (Build / Roof / Convert), compact stadium stats panel and touch-scroll across all cards. The VIP-box card now shows “⭐ 5–8× revenue per match” as an investment tip. When an upgrade is locked, a toast explains why.
🤝 Sponsor bonus filter
Sponsor offers now show only bonuses your team can realistically reach — no Champions League bonuses for third-division teams, no cup-winner bonuses for amateurs, no tiny bonuses under €1,000. The list is cleaner and more honest.
✨ UI improvements for Mobile
Country selector 2-row with flags, cup and country filters scrollable on mobile, language picker as 8×6 flag grid with live update on every switch.
⚡ Faster game start
Team selection screen loads only the chosen country — about 6× faster start. No more full 6-country preload.
— Thanks to feedback from our own Discord channel, the following quality-of-life improvements have been added: —
⚙️ Quality of Life
A separate "Quit game" button next to "Restart" in options with a confirmation dialog. Career switch shows a loading screen immediately and locks the button — no accidental double-click swallows the season transition any more. Free-agent players over 34 (goalkeepers over 38) auto-retire. Cup and country filters wrap to 2 rows on mobile. Team selection screen loads only the chosen country — about 6× faster start.
Player rating updates at season end are now reliably applied even if a winter-break rating update was already done — previously the two phases could block each other.
Modern TikTok-slang match commentary ("No cap", "Cringe", "Bro" etc.) has been completely removed from the game — doesn't fit the 90s retro feel of the Anstoss remake. Classical and humorous commentary variants remain.
