1. Higher wage demands

Players with more domestic and national team experience will demand higher than previous wages.

2. Assistant's Report button

The main difference between this button and the "get coaches report" is that assistant gives you feedback instantly, while coaches take some time to compile a report on a player. Also the assistant gives you a better feedback on the players current and possible future quality on a 0-10 scale.

3. Increased staff costs

The scouts when scouting had no other costs other than wages, precisely as the physio's. Now they both will require more money when actually working. The scouts while travelling around, staying in hotels etc, while the physio's while treating players will require aditional costs for using different treatment programs.

4. The Youth Academy

The youth academies in the game world compete in an ranking to produce bit better youth players. The whole process is still random but long time investment in youth academy development may increase chances to produce better players.

The top seven clubs in the game world investing in youth development will get the slight benefits to produce the better players.

It may or not be enough to produce the next Ralf Nienaber but it will give a better chance to all clubs involved in youth development.

No matter if you are a small or big club, you compete on your own terms so the formula calculates to give you a factor that makes your investment competitive, no mater of country, clu level and money invested.

It is still early days for this feature and it may need a bit of tweaking but we hope this will make own youth academy work fun and worth the time and effort spent.

We have been working hard and managed to do two smaller releases in Dec 2016 and one in Feb 2017. Going forward, we will work mainly on the most important bugfixes and concentrate on building apps, securing optimal back-end and server performance.
