The preseason reaches Football Club Simulator
Five matches during the month of August that allow you to start warming up the team and what is more important, to have more time to reinforce your line-up with last minute signings until the 31st of August.
25 of the most important summer tournaments have also been added and as always, you can count with the competitions that are played at the beginning of the season: National and continental Super Cups.
The "Intercontinental Cup" returns to the Saga
A nod to the past of the Saga. The Intercontinental Cup returns confronting each season the winner of the European Cup vs the winner of the Libertad Cup.
A challenge Europe Vs. America that decides the best team in the world every season. Will you get the trophy in your cabinet?...
New matches in Highlights mode
Minute to minute. The game progresses... the heart accelerates… New sound effects make you feel all the excitement in the decisive moments and on the best goal chances.
More chances than ever Increase the goal chances up to more than seventy: shot, header, foul called, corner, long shot, chip shot, bicycle kick... that can end with a great save by the goalkeeper, to the clouds or in an authentic Great Goal!!!
More information than ever With each new chance data on the performance of the players on the field, the possession of each of the teams and their scoring opportunities is updated. Key information to make the right decisions.
More strategy than ever And with more opportunities and more information on how the game goes, you now have many more chances to change the course of the game taking decisions of line-up, tactics and markings.
Salary Cap for second division Teams
The Second Division teams "bled out" due to the wages of their best players, which are above the official stops marked in the majority of the leagues.
Now, at the start of the first season these stops are applied and then the player is given full control the decisions.
It is an advantage, since your finances do not suffer from the beginning.
But it is also a challenge because the teams of higher categories, both of your country and abroad, are going to see these players as a great opportunity and will try to "steal them"
When they bid for them, if the computer team is of a higher category, it requests the maximum for the quality of the player and thus you get this money for other signings.
Or, on the contrary, you can struggle to keep them but knowing that you will have to reserve this option with the really important players, because you won’t have any other choice but to "break" the salary cap to renew or retain your "Crack"…
If the team making the offer is of your same category, or leagues of less weight than yours and also limited by the salary cap, you can retain your player by putting less money on the table.

July FCS 17 Update (v3.4.1.1) made from Football Club Simulator - FCS 17 player's suggestions: Real time squad planning and new rival AI.
Afterward the release of Football Club Simulator - FCS 17 on June 2nd we keep on working for improving the videogame teaming up with worldwide FCS gamers community.
Do not hesitate to write us with your ideas: mail@footballclubsimulator.com
We count on you all to achieve successfully FCS 18 (v3.5) including new season 2017 / 2018 free DLC targeted for early September.
Real time squad planning
Having the best squad is key in order to achieve the Club's objectives.
And this is the reason why we have expanded up to five tabs that give you information about how to plan your squad:
Current squad
Additions
On loan
Winter Market
Next season
Now you have perfectly clear the players you have at your disposal. The ones you have, the ones you are going to have, which ones are on loan and what your team will be in both the winter and next season markets.
You can also keep track of your transferred players, to know how they are doing, if they improving, if they are playing...
The real-time control of the squad knowing in detail the squad you have and the squad you'll have is an essential help to set your priorities at the time of transfer.
New rival AI
In every game, your opponent will choose the game plan and the balance that best outcome offers to deal with your team and your tactics.
The AI will also undertake the best starters for each game plan, it will review and perform rotations and, among all the possible combinations, opt for the one offering a higher RTA.
If you play against an inferior rival, it will seek to close lines and place more defensive players. If on the other hand, you play against a top team, it will accumulate players in offensive positions to play the attack.
In short, the new IA of your rivals enhances the gaming experience by making it more realistic and challenging.
Suggestions from the Community
“It would be nice to have the data of fatigue when performing a substitution” Implemented.
“The search criteria by age of the scout is 17 to 19 years. Having watched this season signings, it would need to be expanded from 16 to 19” Implemented.
The notice of "unanswered" should appear only in the "aggressive" offers that pay the clause and therefore that might end up taking the player. Implemented.
Bugs reported by the Community
“On certain occasions, when search with the scout has been performed, the game has not been able to continue” Corrected.
“I receive the message "Not enough players" but I have do have enough players in the squad” Corrected.
“The number 0 dorsal appears to be available and it shouldn't be because it is not regulatory” Corrected.
“In the middle of a game, you can press the + button of Personalised Training. It would be necessary to lock the button in these cases” Corrected.

Football Club Simulator - FCS 3.4.1 + DLC w17 + Mod 17 PCFutbolmanía
1. General
1.1 UI improvements We have expanded the screen area dedicated to key data by more than 20% using graphics rather than text to be able to easily access the essential information to make the best decisions at a glance.
1.2 XML Data structure The videogame's closed data structure has been replaced by an open and standardized XML format. Stability, therefore, has been improved immediately, and the Community will be able to Mod the game easier and faster than ever.
1.3 Optimized performance The code and its bottlenecks have been optimized especially in competitions, with 40% improvement in performance that has reduced to only 24 seconds daily and up to 105 seconds between season and season.
2. Competitions
2.1 2016/2017 Season updated This update comes with the DLC w17, updated with the winter transfers on January 31st of the seven countries with playable teams: Spain, England, Germany, Italy, France, Mexico, and Argentina.
And of course, also players from more than 30 countries with teams you can face in different competitions.

3. Playstyle
3.1 Lineup with real-time training The Lineup includes all the essential data: position, role, dorsal, name, nationality, skills, fitness condition, average, moral, tiredness, real-time average, average per position, age, play level, trophies ...
And as a novelty, the listing is interactive and allows you to decide in real time the most appropriate training for each of your players in just a few seconds. Try it. It is really useful.
3.2 New tactics and formations editor Choose between the favorites of the best coaches in the world. You have seven predefined ones at your disposal. Use the simple and powerful editor to create your custom tactics and save it for your key matches. You have up to 5 "slots" for you to test your formations.
3.3 New markings The screen "See rival" evolves into "One-on-one defense". You can study your rival and compare the average quality, the offensive and/or defensive balance and skills, fitness condition, morale and fatigue of each of his players. And here comes the key moment to decide which player or players you need to assign a one-on-one defense to "stop them" during the match.
4. Market and signings
4.1 Official and real-time transfers The official transfers" mode has no limits of negotiation. As in real football, you can negotiate with players and teams throughout the season, incorporating the players only during the official windows:
Summer window = July 1st to August 31st.
Winter window = January 1st to January 31st
Also in Football Club Simulator - FCS you have exclusive of the "Real-time transfers mode". An agile, demanding and fun system, where you can sign, but also "'lose" players throughout the season. Dare to try it?...
4.2 New market system and signings Average, age, position, the difference of objectives of the competing teams ... absolutely everything is contemplated in the new salary calculation algorithms, clause, and transfer value to give the transfer and player market great realism.
4.2 Football school The youth team becomes an authentic "School of football" where you can train and study the evolution of the young players day by day and discover young promising players. If you spend time preparing and selecting players, it won't be long until you discover its advantages. For each young promising player you discover, the money you'll save in signings, the potential of sports results and the income increase will not just increase but it'll go through the roof!!!
5. Club and Stadium
5.1 New distribution of TV rights Finally, the majority of competitions have already agreed to a more fair system for the distribution of TV rights and similar in the major European football leagues. The system is now available in FCS and you can check how it increases the competitiveness in "Primera división" and provides greater liquidity to "Segunda división", which really needed it.
5.2 Assistant coach and coaching staff Your collaborators are integrated into specialized staff and all of them together is your new "Coaching staff". It will not be cheap. But it will be essential to achieve your goals. If you know how to manage them, it won't be a loss. It will be your biggest investment.
5.3 Extra funding for the stadium expansion The improvement and expansion of your stadium is key to strengthen your finances and achieve your goals. Up until now, the works were paid by the bank, the deadlines were short and, of course, with "annoying" interests.
The question for any Club owner is inevitable. How can I improve this situation?... Simple, if the manufacturer wants the contract, he will have to accept new deadlines for payment delayed until after the works have ended...

2. All or nothing. The promotion and relegation Play-Offs are here for Mexico and Argentina
Now we are risking the season in the field. And there is no need to rely on a "confused" calculation of averages of classification in the last 4 years.
The "Play-Offs" in real time are finally here, where the emotions get high when gambling the promotion and/or the relegation in the leagues of Argentina and Mexico. Get the victory in the field and not through bureaucracy.
In addition, we have updated the names of the groups to "Apertura", "Clausura" and "Final" so that everythign is clearer. And also the name of the competition "South Cup" which created a lot of questions, for the "Liberty Cup" one.
3. Get the maximum performance of your team. Manage foreigners and non-EU players up to the limit allowed
FCS already manages the official boundaries of foreigners in Argentina and Mexico and the non-EU players in Europe. Both the total in team as the total in the field.
This way, you will have clear how to do the line-up and the signings throughout the season in order to have the most competitive team.
Note: There are still some errors to find in player with double nationality. If you find any player in this situation, send us a "screenshot" and we will fix it right away.
