Big Update of Manager's Journey



While we are trying to find ways to optimize the simulation of the game world, we decided to work in parallel on improving the mechanics of Manager's Journey. This update is pretty big as it adds very important balance changes, improves one important mechanic, and improves the usability of different parts of the game.

Gameplay Improvement
  • Earlier, when a coach got a new uneven level, a choice between Money and Glory was available. But if the contract came to an end, the player did not need either Money or Glory. We've added a third option - Reputation. Now you can choose between Money, Glory or Reputation.
Statistics
  • Previously, you could only view league statistics in the country you are playing in. Now you can see the statistics of any league available in the game, including countries on other continents. Full statistics are available, including top footballers, all match results of this season, league tables for all previous seasons played, etc.
  • Previously, we did not give the opportunity to view information about a club if this club is in the lower league of another country or on another continent, since the scouts cannot collect reliable and complete information about the team's footballers. Now, you can watch any club, but information about the footballers will not be available. This is useful for viewing the history of the club's development. Also, many players like to change the names, logos and kits of clubs during the game. Now, they have such an opportunity.
  • When you get a request to sell your footballer, we now give the opportunity to view information about any club from which the request came (previously, we showed information only about clubs from your country or Premier Leagues of other countries).
Quality of Life Improvements
  • Improved the president's mood scale. Now, you will see how much Reputation you earn or lose depending on the different management moods at the end of the season.
  • The screen for requesting money from the management has been improved. Now, if the mood of the management is higher than the maximum, we more correctly show information about how the mood will change after the money request.
  • In Footballpedia, a picture with the values ​​of the Cross Factor has been added to the article.
Balance Changes
  • Reduced penalties for bad and very bad mood by 2 times. Also reduced the cost of renewing contracts with the current club.
  • The difference in strength between Strong, Medium and Weak continents has been slightly increased.
  • Previously, the AI ​​extended contracts for footballers in such a way that when a player joined a club, most contracts ended at the beginning of the second season. AI now renews contracts more evenly.
Bugs
  • There was a bug in which, when requesting money from the management, one amount of money was shown, and another was given. Fixed.
  • When a player motivated the team before the second half, the substitutes were not motivated. Fixed.
  • In the statistics of income and expenses of the Glory, the Glory given for the new level of the coach was not displayed earlier. Fixed.
  • One of the articles on Footballpedia misused the names of the tournaments in the examples. Fixed.
  • The achievement 'Walk the Talk' was not working correctly. It was given even when the player failed the task in the club, but stayed and completed it the next time.
  • If the player started the game in the year 0, then the game has started in the year 2021. Fixed. You can now start the game in year 0.
  • Fixed other less noticeable bugs, typos and translation problems.

Bug fixes and improvements



Quality of life improvements
  • If the ability to reduce the likelihood of injury in training is available to you, then you had to click on the arrow to reduce this probability. It might have been very tedious to make many clicks. Now, a slider has been added to make it more convenient.
  • Now, on the Job screen in the panel of conversation with the management we show the current mood of the management (if you are able to affect the mood).


Bug fixes
  • When shooting a penalty, the footballer with the highest Accuracy is automatically selected. But in the match simulation mode, the footballers with the highest Control were selected. Fixed.
  • Blocked the ability to improve the mood of the management when it is already at its maximum.
  • In case of an early failure of a long objective, the friendly management still rewarded the player. Fixed.
  • If you had the task 'Promote to the next league in N seasons', but you were relegated to a lower league, and the mood of the management was not minimal, then the management ignored the fact that the club was relegated. The management will now consider the task a failure and will react, depending on the strictness.
  • Fixed some cases when the name of the tournament was taken not from the mod of this country, but from the mod corresponding to the player's nationality.
  • Fixed a crash in multiplayer mode.
  • Fixed rare crashes on some rare occasions.

Improvements and bug fixes of Manager's Journey

Balance improvements
  • Earlier, the maximum duration of an injury on the individual training could be the same as in a match (up to 8 months if you do not have medics). Now, the maximum duration of an injury on individual training is always 7 days. I.e. now, on training, a footballer can be injured for 1 to 7 days.
  • Now, when requesting money from the management, the amount of money depends on the strictness. For Adequate, Strict and Very Strict management, nothing has changed. Loyal management gives less money. Friendly management gives you significantly less money. This is important because the ability "Asking for money" should provide a good advantage, but also carry great risks. And since playing with Friendly Management the player does not risk anything, then the payouts should be significantly lower.


Bug fixes
  • If the save file was more than 100MB, Steam Cloud did not accept this file and overwrite your save with the last one that was stored in the cloud (this led to the loss of progress). We have reworked the cloud communications system to work around this limitation.
  • Copy-paste function was broken on the screen for renaming tournaments. Fixed.
  • If you change the number of teams in the Premier League in the modification, and then start the game with a tutorial, the game crashed. Fixed.
  • The game crashed after passing a hot-seat tournament. Fixed.
  • Fixed some rare crashes.

Bug fixes & Improvements



We continue a series of daily updates with bug fixes and small improvements:

Modifications
  • We have improved all versions of the game so that they work better with modifications that are backwards compatible.
  • The interface for selecting backward compatibility of modifications in Manager's Journey has been improved.
  • Fixed a crash when creating a new modification.
Quality of life improvement

Added a savepoint to the job offer selection screen at the start of a new season. Now at this point, you can exit the game.

Other
  • Finished translation of Manager's Journey into Turkish.
  • Fixed rare crashes of the game in special cases.

Localization of the next DLC



Hi everyone!

The expansion Manager's Journey is already released.

But it lacks Korean translation. If you are Korean, if you know English and love football, and if you want to help with translation, write to me, please, on kos @ creoteam.com (delete spaces)

Those who translate the DLC will get:
- your name written in the game's credits
- a free DLC key (also, can provide the key for the original game and previous DLC if you need it).

Thanks!
