After almost a month without updates, don't think we've been sitting idle waiting for the launch. We were listening to you and implementing your requested changes. So, without further ado, here's the complete list of changes we've applied ahead of the 0.1 launch.

General

• The game's buttons have been updated and keyboard shortcuts have been added.

• Now when you hover over a table-type element you don't need to click to select it, it happens automatically as you pass over it.

Match simulation

• The number of goals has been increased to match reality.

• The number of cards has been increased.

• The number of chances and assists from players has been increased.

• Previously you could only have injuries lasting more than a week.

Game setup

• Improved design and animations.

• In campaign mode there is now no budget available to acquire a club.

• The clubs you can buy depend on the difficulty you choose. In experience mode it's free.

• This menu has been added with the under-19 view and general overview.

• In the youth academy you'll be able to promote a player who reaches the age of at least 15 or who belongs to that specific year in order to promote them to the first team.

• Each year new youngsters will arrive and their progression depends on the youth academy staff, your club's level and the level of the youth academy facility.

• If your youth academy facility is at zero, this menu will remain empty.

Transfer market

• The filter for searching players within the transfer market has been implemented in a more visual way.

• We've added the scouting center submenu, which lets you send your scout around the world to look for players of a certain type.
