New!

  • The game now marks the flag of footballers called up to the national team for previous matches with a star. This lets you easily distinguish international players from others, both in your own club and when viewing other teams.

Bug Fixes

  • On the board expectations screen under certain circumstances, the penalty for an unhappy board was displayed with a plus sign instead of a minus.

  • During matches, rookie goalkeepers did not receive the +10% control bonus.

  • When preparing for a new season, the squad could change randomly under certain circumstances.

  • We previously arranged for the higher-ranked team to be the home team in the group stage of the national team final tournament. Unfortunately, this change also slipped into the qualification stage. In existing campaigns, this will be fixed starting from the next national team tournament.

  • If the player's team dropped from the second continental tournament into the third, the calendar still displayed matches from the second cup.

  • The "All Footballers" club statistics did not show players who were away on international duty at that moment.

  • The "Most Important Match of the Season" achievement could be unlocked if the opponent motivated their team instead of you doing so.

  • The email celebrating a victory in the third continental cup was sent by the old manager instead of the club president.

  • If a manager has the nationality of a country from one continent but coaches a national team from another continent, some emails used the manager's continent in the tournament name for the continental championship.

  • Fixed some errors in the Polish text.

Crash Fixes

  • The game crashed under certain settings in hotseat tournaments.

  • The game crashed under a rare combination of circumstances at the end of the season.
