99Managers Futsal Edition news & patch notes

This version brings a lot of new features to the transfer logic of the game. Players can now be loaned to other teams for the rest of the season. It is now also easier to sell players, by setting their transfer state to "For sell". Additionally a player has now also team role, that affects transfers and morality. Current team roles are: key player, rotation player, reserve, future star and youth player. The role also affects how player morality evolves over time, depending on game time. A key player expects to play a lot, while a reserve player will be happy sitting on the bench. This features where quite some work and created a lot of transfer logic edge cases. If you find anything that still feels wrong about the new transfers or team roles, let me know!

I'm also really happy to announce that this version includes code by the first code contributor! Over 60 translation contributors helped to translate the game, but nobody had contributed code yet. This has now changed and Novarama becomes the first code contributor of the project. They contributes the player release fee logic and implemented the financial graphs.

Another day, another save game editor bug :-) This time a user reported, that the game crashes after the next match. By sending me his save game file, I was able to discover the bug very fast. Matches with deleted teams and leagues still existed and therefore the game crashed.

This was only possible, because the save game editor still allowed to delete teams and leagues. With this update, all team/league deletions and movements have been disabled for save games.

If needed, I might enable league and team deletions again in the future. But for that I first need to write some code, to also delete all references and related data.

Here the full changelog as usual.

Added

• UI

  • Add cog icon to settings button in menu, for easier settings access with unknown language

Fixed

• Editor

  • Hide team/league change and delete buttons for save game editor

  • Change min player age to youth min age (14) instead of general player min age (18)

A small bug fix release evolved into a major update with lots of new features. Now it is possible to use the editor also for existing save games. That makes the game fully editable, even for existing save games.

If you don't wan to use it, simply disable it in the new editor settings.

New default data packs featuring more European and South American teams have been added. All leagues have 20 teams, that makes a season more intense and fun. To fit all matches into the calendar, midweek matches will be played on Wednesdays.

This update contains also a lot of bug fixes, since that was the actual goal of this update. But I felt so productive like never before and added all this new features too. That makes a new major release, because of the new data packs and the save game editor.

The game is now also fully translated in Tamil, a language spoken mostly in South Asia.

I hopefully found the bug that showed about 10% crash rate on Google Play Console. It was a bug with the new team view tab change buttons.

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.

Now you have more influence over the matches with the first tactics and match feedback. You can set the play style to defensive, balanced or offensive. The play style defines how often players shoot on goal and their field positions. The tackle intensity can also be instructed now with moderate, balanced and aggressive. This can be useful if you really need to win and want to get control of the ball, even with fouls.

Players have now also a match morale, that affects their performance. Happy players shoot more goals and defend better than angry ones. This is influenced by the current result, but also by your feedback. Now the manager can tell the players positive, neutral and negative feedback. Depending on the state and importance of the match, players react accordingly.

This two features improve the match immersion and make them more interesting. You no longer can blame only your players for loosing ;-)

About a month ago Steam announced Updates to Pricing Conversion Tool. This introduces a new pricing conversion method: Purchasing Power Conversion. This method takes local purchasing power into account and adapts pricing accordingly. It reduces the price by more than 50% for certain regions like South America and Asia.

Therefore I updated the price for my game for most The price remains the same in Europe with 10€ and the US with $10. It has been reduced in countries like Brazil from R$ 33,00 to R$ 25,00. Also in Indonesia the price has been reduced from Rp 91 000 to Rp 50 000. I chose this two as example, because currently over 50% of downloads on Android come from there.

The update from yesterday that introduced custom team logos also introduced a bug that caused issues when saving data, especially on Windows.

This has now been solved and I will do more testing on Windows from now on to prevent such issues.

If you lost data, it should still be available in the trash directory of your operating system.

Please write me at [email protected] if you are not able to recover lost data, I will try my best to help you!

Fixed

- Data

- Resolve loading issues with new data/ directory (renamed from active/ in v0.7.5)

- Fix save games and data pack data loss for Windows

The demo on Steam is back with v0.7.1!

Now you can play 1 full season with the free demo version.

After the season ends, the full version is required to continue or a new season can be started.

There are two main reasons for this:

1) The game has a quite high refund rate at 20% and I hope the demo reduces this

2) A demo should increase the visibility of the game on Steam

The version brings also some minor fixes to the editor and new translations for several languages.

Added

• Match UI

  • First version of volleyball field

• Other

  • Add demo mode, where 1 season can be played

    • Demo version is available only on Steam
