Version 0.19.5 has been uploaded to Steam! The biggest changes you'll see are if you coach a youth team - no longer are you subject to the random whims of your computer-operated recruiter, but you get to pick your team from a list of recruits before the start of each season. NOTE: This feature has been barely tested, so hopefully it works right.
You'll also notice some more transaction-related news items and some minor fixes. The game also will stop crashing in certain situations on the list menu due to a bug introduced in v0.19.0.
There will be no quick patches for a few days, but still working hard on the game! Some behind-the-scenes stuff has been developed and will be fleshed out more fully in the coming weeks. The focus is on improved form, morale, 16-player teams (hmmm... wonder what's being planned here), and an in-game player editor.
As always your feedback is welcomed and appreciated, whether it be reporting a crash to desktop or an idea to improve the game.
