Goal!: The Club Manager

Update to Version 0.18.35.155 – 31.03.2023

Content update to version 0.18.34.154 brings "Meisterpokal" as well as further improvements and bug fixes



Hello, football fans!
The European competitions are entering the hot phase.

And from now on you can also try to stir up Europe with your teams in Anstoss.
With the "Meisterpokal" there is now a new international tournament in which you can not only fight for honour, but also for enormous profit.
In order to have the best possible overview not only there, but especially in the European competition, a new tournament tree view has also been added.

However, due to the greatly improved structure of the database required for this, it is no longer possible to continue using previous saves from this point on. We apologise for this, but at the same time we have used this opportunity to lay the foundation for further competitions in the background, so that future changes here should not result in any further save game incompatibilities.
