What’s new
Version 2.2.3 · Updated October 23, 2026
v2.2.3 New statistics as a filing cabinet, new career screen, player portraits, team of the day and of the year, Clean font, pictures inside the user file. - The statistics now start at a filing cabinet against a beige wall: every category is a drawer, every view a hanging folder with a numbered tab (01, 02, 03) that is tall enough to read and hit on a phone. Season, opponents and total are real files with forms and stamps. The green arrows at the edge take you to the previous and next view, and all texts and buttons are large enough for a phone. - The team of the day has a new look: the players stand in a 4-4-2 on the chalkboard with portrait, club logo, name and club, and your own club is highlighted in gold. New is the team of the year: the players who were picked most often for the team of the day in the season, with the number of selections. It appears at the end of the season before the awards and is also in the statistics; players who have since retired keep their portrait. From the statistics, “Back” takes you there again. - The career screen is new: on the left your manager ID with portrait, points and expectation, on the right the trophy cabinet with six places (league title, domestic cup, super cup and the three European cups, with the matching cups for South American clubs). Tap a place to see all titles with season and club. Below are the board, fans and public as well as the finance class as a gauge, each with an explanation and history. - Players now have a face: in the player info of the line-up, transfer market, smartphone and youth, in the team of the day and for the player of the day you see a pixel portrait in the club kit with its logo. A player's face always stays the same and fits his nationality. In the smartphone lists the portrait sits next to the rank, and names are no longer shortened. - In the line-up, the new column “GP” shows how many games a player has played in the current season (starting eleven and substitutions, all competitions). All columns are aligned anew: fixed widths, with the numbers centred under their headings, and the overall strength (GS) as the most important number stands out larger on a golden field. The player info has tabs across the full width: overview, season, contract & trend and club. - The pre-match screen has new pictures for playing style and intensity in the style of the game, and the name of the individual training is shown in full and centred. The intro is redesigned: title, whistle and slogan on the stadium. One tap shows everything at once, a second tap starts the game. The player rating after the first half of the season and at season end has the career design: upgrades and downgrades as counters and cards with graphics, with the same timing and delays as before. - In the options, next to the game font (Retro) there is now the font “Clean”: a calm font of normal weight for all Latin, Cyrillic and Greek languages. Line heights and text lengths stay as in Retro. The choice belongs to your device and is not overwritten when you load a save. - The post-match interview can be switched off in the game options, like the studio interview and the interview before derbies and top matches; salary demands still come. In the pre-match screen the help now explains what diving does: chances, detection by the referee and the consequences. The half-time talk no longer shows explanatory extra sentences. Your own player photos now live only in the editor, no longer in the game options. - In the editor you can now also swap the backgrounds of the team board, the awards and the office, plus those of results, matchday statistics, career, points catalogue, options and statistics. The last six apply only to your own user file; the original stays as it is. Yellow frames with sizes in pixels show where titles, panels and buttons sit. - The music setting is kept after loading a save (before, it sometimes came back).
