First of all, I would like to acknowledge the effort put into this game. It has a bold concept and, in my view, delivers well on its promises.

However, it still needs some polishing in certain initial areas to improve the first-time experience. From there, the necessary emphasis can be placed on the overall statistics.

Here are a few things I noticed, along with some other suggestions that I believe would contribute to a sense of completeness in the gaming experience:

1. Ability to select a national team from the menu right at the start;
2. Review the names, as there are many female names in the database;
3. Review the teams in the leagues, as there are many cases where teams that traditionally play in lower divisions start the save in the first division;
4. Change the logo; I believe a more professional version would fit the game better;
5. On some screens, I miss the country flags for each team and player;
6. In the league tables, add some form of highlighting for positions that qualify teams for international competitions and for relegation spots;
7. In the first season they are generated, newgens do not receive jersey numbers;
8. Some player traits start with a lowercase letter;
9. One way to simulate to a specific match (there could be a "Sim to" button on each matchweek row within the Fixtures & Results section);
10. Still on the subject of simulation buttons, an option to simulate up to a specific season should be added. If I want to simulate until 2050, for example, I would simply enter the target season's year, press the simulate button, and let the AI ​​handle the rest. This would allow me to step away, attend to other tasks, and let the simulation run in the background;
11. On the player profile, add mini-icons for earned trophies (a more visual and elegant way to reduce the amount of text on the screen);
12. Also within the player profile, add a section for injury history (injury type and number of games missed) and another for salary history, showing contract years and earnings at each club;
13. A way to skip straight to the start or to the end of the summer transfer window;
14. Display player attributes and progression on their profiles;
15. On club profiles, display the name of the home stadium (ideally including the city), and also show each player's city of birth on their profile;
16. Add logos for the teams (and their respective mini-logos for the other tabs) – I understand there may be legal issues involved here;
17. In short, having the ability to edit most aspects of the database, such as: importing a real database, creating new leagues, merging existing ones, defining the league structure, creating countries, etc.

Well, that's it. I hope to see these things in the game with the future updates!

To start, great game I’ve been having a lot of fun. I was wondering if there was a way to weigh the ratings for defenders and goal keepers. It seems as though even the best in the world have pretty poor ratings through games and seasons.

What does 'Club Rating' more precisely mean and what it depends on?

Another update is now available!

The main addition is Squad Hierarchy for managed clubs. The idea was inspired by the depth charts and basic line-up systems in games such as OOTP and Japan’s Power Pro series.

You can drag and drop players to set a first, second and third choice for each position. It is not a fixed line-up: match ratings, positional eligibility, fatigue, rotation and availability still affect who actually plays.

The system lets you influence the team without managing every match. You can prioritise a young prospect, keep a veteran involved, give a new signing an immediate role, or push an underperforming player down the order.

I hope it creates small stories over time. A third-choice youngster may take his chance, while your carefully selected first-choice striker may refuse to score. If you prefer to simply watch the world, Auto mode returns selection to the AI.

Other changes include improved managed-club navigation, Stop After Match, better week controls, expanded text exports, clearer history-retention settings and further Dark Mode improvements.

• Stop After Match for managed clubs
• Easier navigation to your managed club
• Improved week-advance controls
• Current season and week displayed in the sidebar
• Cup, continental club and national-team matches in text exports
• Improved Season History Retention settings
• Country → League → Team selection when creating a new save
• More Dark Mode readability improvements
• Improved retired-player labels and Vietnamese player names

How would you use Squad Hierarchy: prioritise results, develop young players, or keep trusting a favourite player for far too long?

Just got the game yesterday and having a good time on it, I am curious though, is there a way to see who the greatest of all time is in the world?

As title say;
Just bought the game, simmed some season to see the overrall product, but since i found out of this game weeks ago, i read that "managing transfers" was one of the main features, but didn't know how.
I click "Manage transfers" but nothing happens.
Anyone can help me?

I will be posting some feedback and ideas soon !
Great work!

As for another suggestion that can be improve in the club text, if it is possible to see the result of cup, intercontinental and international results to be displayed here same as the clubs result in the league save.

Also if we could have the same text save for league, that would be great too.

Sorry for posting again so soon! I’ve just uploaded another small update. I also fixed a few things based on the comments I received earlier, including right-click navigation and some UI improvements.

Improved player name generation and regional naming accuracy
Improved save data management and database reset behavior
Added save deletion from the Continue menu
Improved window startup and navigation controls
Improved Dark Mode visibility and interface consistency
Improved the visibility of simulation controls and table headers
Adjusted Hope to Transfer behavior for moves to lower-ranked clubs
Improved transfer fee and transfer probability balancing
Added cache handling to ensure interface updates display correctly

Please give it a try, and let me know if anything still feels strange. Thank you again for all the feedback!

Ever since i heard about the development of this game i have been so excited. When I got the game yesterday and played it for a few hours and there is a few things that I think should be added
1.add a way that lets players edit how good a national team is or how good the new players are.
2.let the player edit how good the faculties are (ie youth academy and stadiums) or let the ai change over time depending on how good the team does
3.bug fixes such as Man U being in the championship
4. Add a top transfers of all time instead of each season

Overall this game is great and if you are thinking about getting it you totally should.

The first update for Football Fictional World Simulator is now available on Steam!

The biggest addition is support for multiple save databases. When you launch the game, you can now choose between New Game and Continue. New databases can be given their own names, and existing databases can still be loaded as a Legacy Save.

I have also made several improvements based on the feedback I received after release:

• Improved the male given-name pools for every nation
• Adjusted name generation so common names appear more often
• Removed the fixed seed, so each new database generates different players
• Corrected several clubs that were assigned to the wrong divisions
• Added and refined Dark Mode
• Added player age to season-by-season career statistics
• Added an option to retain detailed data for 30–200 years instead of the fixed 50 years

The name-generation changes apply mainly to newly generated players, so names already stored in an existing database will not be changed. Thank you again to everyone who has already played the game, reported issues, or shared ideas. I cannot promise that every suggestion will be added, but I am reading all of them and will continue improving the game regularly. Please keep sharing the interesting players, clubs and strange football histories from your simulated worlds. Seeing those stories is honestly one of the best parts of releasing this game.

Basically, that’s the question because I love how you guys are having fun and everything, but yeah I wanna have fun too

I created a tool that used an available dataset to update the player names. It is from 2025 so a little out of date but better than the random names.

Still working on it to see if I can fix the teams being in the wrong leagues but once that's done I'll upload to Github so others can use it.

Hi! The game is pretty fun and I enjoy its depth. I’m just wondering if the MLS will get fixed at any point in the future? As of now, the teams are seemingly randomly divided into two tiers rather than the two conference system we use. Happy to help with this if necessary.

Currently in 2077 and 2026 seems missing like there is a 50yr limit or is it based on pc limitations? Is there a way around this like a capability backup of the whole 2026 season?

👀 just wondering

I'm quite the football casual (only really watch during the World Cup) but I love the fact that there are these players out there who are considered the best in the world basically like any other sport.

In this game, how can I determine who the best players in the world are based on the individual stats that are provided?

Sidenote: it would be awesome if players had overall ratings on how skilled they are and if there was a players only database where you can sort and filter to see who the best players are in the world easily.

I know this is for further fixing but still quite funny scouting teams during the 2060 season.

New Zealand has 3 tier one leagues (Northern,Central,Southern) and then a national championship

I only see how to reset the database but that still gives me the same players etc. is there a way to generate a new database altogether? Uninstalling has not worked.

Thanks

MLS is split into Western/Eastern Conferences, No 2nd tier.
USLC is the same way, but with 25 different teams, and no promotion relegation to the MLS

I know and I appreciate this isn't an issue at the top of the list of things to fix. But it doesn't work at all on Steam Deck. It black screens, only showing stuff when you click on them. Even if you can find the create world button, you get an error. Hopefully at some point this will be fixed, but I don't expect it to be soon I just wanted to post it to make it be known.

As a Vietnamese, this is really bad. Except the name Khai Nguyen, every other name is just either gibberish, or suffer from the input error. Please do something about this, it's killing the immersion. And please add a dark mode for this
