Original release notes

Version 2.4 gives you more control, more depth and a new match engine.

• Difficulty: five levels from Beginner to Hardcore Ice Crack. During a career the level can only be lowered, never raised. On Hardcore Ice Crack there is only the autosave and no reloading.
• Manager profile: manager or female manager, working style, bonus points and one weakness – your own road to the title.
• Coaching staff: assistant coach, analyst, chief scout and strength and conditioning coach with levels, contracts and a candidate market. If you like, the staff takes over training and line-ups. Plus individual training with visible progress.
• Match engine 3 in new careers: special player abilities, overtime chances and live coaching with calls such as forechecking, goalie change or a duel against the top line. The assistant coach makes suggestions if you want.
• Season length of 26, 39 or 52 matchdays, chosen when you start a career.
• More balanced tables: in new careers the top and the bottom of the table are closer together.
• New Spectacle view in live matches: arena, TV direction, drawn faces, replay and a comic page after goals. Can be switched off in the settings.
• Fixed: quitting the app during the playoffs could send you back to an older save on restart.
• Translations: language choice right on the start screen, live match, ticker and many texts improved in all seven languages. In the classic live view a goal could break off at half speed – fixed.

Existing careers keep running: they keep their current match engine and start on the Pro level.
