Transfers & Negotiations

  • Smarter AI offers — AI counter-offers are now capped to the seller's asking price and the buyer's budget, so you'll no longer see unrealistic numbers on the table.

  • No more instant buy-backs — clubs can no longer immediately re-sign a player they just sold to you. Sold means sold.

  • Correct rejection messages — when a selling club turns down your counter, you'll now see the right reason instead of a misleading "insufficient offer" message meant for the buyer's side.

Squad & Staff

  • Fixed unsignable top staff — high-tier staff members that could not be signed are now available as intended.

Gameplay & Match Engine

  • Fairer match damage — in-match damage is now accurately assigned to the player.

General

  • Improvements - other improvements.

Stability

  • Various bug fixes and internal test coverage improvements for more reliable transfer logic.

Next

  • Next patch will contain more balance features, transfer and simulation enhancements. Thank you for your time.
