Hey everyone!
And just like that, another season is in the books. 🎉 Congrats to all the Season 16 winners, well played! Let’s see what Season 17 has in store.
This time, we’re bringing in a mix of realism, tactical depth, and some fun twists to keep your squads feeling alive and unpredictable. Here’s what’s new:
👴 Aging Players — Physical Decline
-
Players aged 30+ will now gradually lose physical skills during season changes.
-
The drop amount depends on both age and current skill level.
-
Managers will get an alert for each player affected, so you’ll always know who’s on the decline.
📊 Player Info — Training Panel Upgrade
-
You can now check all skill changes directly in the player information panel, under Training.
-
No more guessing — every gain or drop is recorded for transparency.
👶 Youth Traits — Hidden Until 18
-
Youth player traits are now hidden until they turn 18.
-
When scouting, you’ll know if a player will have a trait, but not whether it’s positive or negative.
-
You’ll need patience to see what kind of star (or headache) you’re grooming.
-
If your current youth already has a trait before this change, don't worry, he will keep that trait.
⚡ Player Modifiers — Temporary Buffs & Debuffs
We’ve added Player Modifiers, short-term effects from key events that impact on-pitch performance.
They’re visible in the Tactics Panel, helping you fine-tune lineups with more realism.
Here’s the first wave:
-
Man of the Match (+5%) — Awarded MotM, lasts 24h. Boosts confidence.
-
Hat-trick Hero (+10%) — Score a hat-trick, get a big morale lift for 24h.
-
Settling In (−5%) — New transfers adapt for 48h.
-
Unsettled by Transfer (−5%) — Affects players listed on the market.
-
Returning from Injury (−5%) — Reduced sharpness for 24h after comeback.
-
Positive Press Release (+10%) — Praise with a club press release, lasts 48h.
-
Birthday (+10%) — A once-a-year (season) morale boost, lasts 24h.
-
Family Issue (−10%) — Off-field distractions, lasts 24h.
🔧 Game Fixes & Quality of Life
-
Captain substitutions are now handled correctly, keeping your top-priority captain in charge.
-
Mobile tooltips have been adjusted for proper positioning.
-
The documentation was updated with up to date information and a different organization.
That’s it for now! Season 17 brings more strategy, more realism, and more moments of joy (and pain 😅) as you lead your squad to glory.
Good luck out there, managers, may this season be your best yet. 💙
