v0.7.9 Change teams

10. June 2026

Now it is finally possible to change teams during a save game. This allows also to start without a team and choose one from the job board. There are no contract negotiations or any other checks if you can be signed for a team. Every month the job list updates with new teams that randomly open their doors for new managers. Upcoming versions will extend this, with proper contract negotiations. A club board will also be added soon, that defines goals and will fire you, if you under-perform.

This version also brings an improved match UI flow. The transition from the overview to a highlight or goal scene is now more consistent. Changing players now pauses the game. Some buttons have been removed or moved to match settings. In general the match should now feel more immersive and easier to interact with.

There are now also two new languages: Catalan and Japanese. Even if they are less than 10% complete, I wanted to add them anyway to attract more translators. The initial language picker shows now only languages that are at least 50% translated. That languages can still be set in the settings screen.

The transfer list has now also a new design, showing a box instead of pure text. This makes it easier to interact with the list, especially on mobile. The list is now also sorted, by always showing the latest transfer offers on top.

Additional to that some bugs have been fixed and other minor improvements are included.

There is now also a public roadmap, that shows planned features and known bugs. This list is still missing some stuff, but it will be completed these days.

Here the full changelog as usual.
