Release Notes

New

• Skip the wait with an ad — watch a short video to knock a week off a facility build, or to cut an injury short. One ad per facility per week, one injury per week — an ad always shortens a wait, it never ends one.
• Treat an injury straight from the squad list — the Injured & Suspended tab now carries both options on the player’s own row: watch an ad, or pay 20 diamonds. Diamonds have no weekly limit; the ad still has one.
• Action Points on tap — the top-up screen now stays open while you collect, tracks your balance live, and every “not enough AP” wall in the game offers it instead of a dead-end message.

Changed & Improved

• No more overheating on long careers — match history used to grow with every fixture you ever simulated, and all of it travelled in your cloud save. It is now capped at your last five matches per player, so season ten runs as cool as season one.
• Big battery saving — career screens no longer redraw 60 times a second while nothing on them is moving.
• Lighter cloud saves — uploads are 25% smaller and take far less work on the phone, which shows most on a slow mobile connection.
• Rescuing a career now has a cost that bites — buying your way back from a game over costs 50 diamonds, then 100, then 200. The first rescue stays at 50, exactly what a new account starts with.
• Ready for Android 16 — updated for the newest Android and the latest Play billing.

Fixed

• Buying a second power-up in the same category took your diamonds and then refused to apply the effect. It now cannot be bought at all.
• A paid rescue could be lost if you closed the app right after it — and even when it stuck, the board’s confidence was never restored, so you could be fired again a week later.
• Options that showed no risk badge still carried a hidden 1–3% chance of being exposed. Clean is now genuinely clean.
• The “Recover” button claimed to cost 1 AP when it is paid for with an ad, and five of the six facility cards were clipped at the bottom.
• From season two onwards, the Form tab and the transfer sparkline showed last season’s run-in as recent form.
• Facility cards and the welcome tutorial no longer overflow their panel when the “no connection” banner is up. Both now adapt to the space they are given rather than assuming a full screen.
• iOS: if the tracking permission prompt was left unanswered, ads stayed dead for the rest of the session.

Changed & Improved

• Much faster weeks — match simulations now run in the background, so advancing the week no longer freezes the game.
• Faster startup — the app opens quicker and the start screen no longer hangs while permissions load.
• Smoother on every phone — image memory now adapts to your device, fixing stutters and freezes on low-RAM phones.
• Fluid transfer market — scrolling through hundreds of players is now buttery smooth.

Fixed

• Deleting a save no longer hangs the settings screen, and deleted saves can no longer reappear from the cloud.
• Smaller, faster network requests throughout the app.

Changed & Improved

• Behind-the-scenes measurement improvements so we can find and fix issues faster.
• Stability improvements and minor bug fixes.

Added

• Personal headlines — newspaper stories now feature your real club, your rival and your chairman by name; every front page is about your career.

Fixed

• Inbox event details no longer overflow on long category labels, and the labels are now properly translated.
• Stability improvements and minor bug fixes.

Changed & Improved

• Full newspaper coverage — every decision you make now gets proper press coverage in all 30 languages, with no missing stories.
• Faster newspapers — press content loads in parallel behind the scenes, so front pages appear instantly.

Fixed

• Repaired broken newspaper content batches that could show placeholder text.

Added

• The Power Map comes alive — every faction now plays its own game: the federation, media, referees, agents, rival clubs, your board and your fans all react to what you do, with real consequences.
• A living boardroom — directors, board motions and mandates shape what you're allowed to do; ignore them at your peril.
• Your terrace, alive — supporter trust, ultras and attendance now respond to results, ticket prices and how you run the club.
• Rivalries that bite — grudges, derbies, sabotage and manager poaching from rival factions.

Fixed

• No more freezes — squashed the freeze that could hit when starting or continuing a career right after visiting Settings, plus the earlier first-launch Settings→menu hang.
• Shop power-ups now deliver exactly the advertised benefit.
• Smoother turns and season-end processing.

Added

• Stay up to date — when a critical update is out, the app now lets you know and takes you straight to the store, so everyone plays on the same, most stable version.

Changed & Improved

• A more realistic match engine — results are decided by squad quality, fitness and tactics, not off-pitch tricks.
• Home advantage that counts — every club gets a real edge at home, even smaller sides with modest crowds.
• Substitutions & fatigue matter — players tire in the second half, so rotation and squad depth now shape the result.
• Goalkeepers matter — a world-class keeper keeps more clean sheets, without inflating your attack.
• Stronger injuries & red cards — setbacks bite harder, making your Medical Centre worth the investment.
• Off-pitch boosts (board, fans, referee) now tilt a match without ever deciding it on their own.
• Match stats — possession, shots, corners and fouls — now reflect how the game actually played out.

Added

• Talk to your players — praise or criticise them in direct one-on-one conversations to shape morale, form and your relationship with the squad.
• Player attributes & development — every player now has a full attribute set you can study, and you can train players with a chosen focus to make them grow over time.
• Pending Transfers — deals agreed outside the transfer window are parked and settle automatically when the window opens, with clear outcome alerts.

Changed & Improved

• Realistic transfer market — incoming bids now match each rival club's level and budget. No more European giants chasing your 4th-tier players, and no minnows offering fortunes.
• Match results are now driven by detailed player attributes across attack, midfield and defence.
• Player market values and wages now reflect their attributes.
• Action Points bank higher between quiet weeks (carryover ceiling raised to 15).

Fixed

• Off-window agreed transfers now read correctly in the newspaper — future tense and neutral wording.
• Players now address the club chairman correctly in conversations.
• Season-boundary intelligence cleanup, plus missing signings on crisis and star events.

Fixed

• Eliminated brief freezes after advancing to the next week, making a decision, and on the menu — turns feel smooth again.

Added

• Tapping a rating-reminder notification now opens the app-rating screen directly.

Added

• Dedicated post-event newspapers for your fan, chairman and media actions.

Fixed

• Restored the notification opt-in prompt at launch.

Added

• Open a player's profile by tapping their token on the formation pitch.
• Re-engagement notifications to bring you back to unfinished business.

Changed & Improved

• Selling clubs now anchor their counter-offers above market value.
• Risk-tiered sponsor columns with clearer, more readable action buttons.

Added

• 17 new display languages (30 total) — the UI, events, gazette headlines and full newspaper articles are now translated across all of them.

Fixed

• iPad full-screen requirement for the landscape-only game.
• A "no such column" database error, and the new languages now appear in the in-app language picker.

Added

• Full asset-based visual overhaul across the entire app — office, squad, transfers, finance, season, media, power map, shop, settings, sign-in and dialogs.
• 58 playable countries with two-tier leagues, three-tier continental competitions (Champions / Europa / Conference) and midweek domestic cups.
• Multi-term transfer offers (clean / hidden / dirty) with a player-set fee slider, multi-round bargaining and exposed-deal investigation chains.
• Tick-based match engine with live text-match playback; your chairman's soft-power stats now influence results.
• 10-level club facilities gated by league & club size, a youth academy and player development.
• Tabbed office hub (dashboard / recommendations / inbox / intel) and an actionable intelligence system where not all info is trustworthy.
• Real, transfer-season-based Financial Fair Play sanctions.
• Injury & suspension system with a localized live match feed.
• Multiple save slots and cloud save (full-world sync & restore).
