ECONOMY brings more of a pro’s life into your career. From the money you earn to the choices you make away from a match, update 1.5 gives you more to plan for.
An economy rebuilt around your career
Salaries, prize money, taxes and recurring expenses have been reworked together. A new overview brings your income, spending and season forecast into one place, so you can weigh your next commitment against the career you can afford.
Make the setup your own
Build your space to compete. Choose your PC, monitor and peripherals, then look after your workstation and comfort. The new setup view lets you see your equipment and consider each upgrade before spending.
A career with unexpected turns
A podcast invitation. A family commitment. A difficult moment with a teammate. Random events bring decisions into your life outside the server, with consequences for money, stress, fame and relationships.
Give your season a personal goal
Choose personal goals for the season and follow your progress. Performance, team chemistry and reputation give you ambitions beyond the next result on the scoreboard.
Plan your week
A dated calendar gives each season 28 matchdays. Program shows a typical week: the club plans weekdays, while you choose how to spend Saturday and Sunday.
Support your early career
In Open and Academy, part-time jobs offer extra income with a cost in stress and fatigue. Compare three offers and decide how much work fits alongside your development as a player.
Build something beyond your salary
Ventures brings investments, rental property, merch, foundations, crypto and team ownership together. New Prestige and Streaming screens make the cost of your home, car and studio easier to weigh before committing.
Two new maps. Longer finals.
Bastion and Pelagic join Live 2D with their own tactics and ambient sound. A single seven-map pool now covers league and tournaments, rotating two maps each season. League veto uses the whole pool; tournament rounds are BO3 and finals are BO5.

ECONOMY17 notes
- Salaries, streaming and sponsorships move to a more realistic scale. Each tier has new salary ranges; offers respect both the club’s means and its tier’s limits. Streaming and sponsorship income also depends on the level you play at. Existing contracts are adjusted once on loading, without changing their expiry dates or money already earned.
- The image rights tax and the wealth tax are replaced by a progressive income tax: no tax up to €8,500 a year, then 23%, 35% and 43%. It is withheld every matchday from salary, streaming and sponsorships; prizes are taxed when they are paid. Saved money is no longer taxed.
- Tournament and league prize pools move to realistic values, and the club's cut of a prize drops from 60% to 15%. Every contract now has a club prize share: a new club offers 20%, and in negotiation you can go down to 15% (10% if you are a star) by giving up part of your salary. The shares clubs collect make winning clubs richer.
- The coaching staff, professionals and the Career Advisor move to realistic prices: Pro staff costs from €4,000 a year in Open to €60,000 in Premier, and the Advisor takes 5% of your salary up to €60,000 a year. Growth is unchanged: the same choices train you at the same pace.
- Equipment moves to realistic prices: a high-end mouse costs €160, a monitor €900. Each setup level is now worth half a point on its stat (up to +1.5). From Challenger up, your club provides the best equipment: it covers your whole setup, never wears out and does not need to be bought. What you own stays yours and is useful again if you drop a tier.
- The recovery plan now follows the new economy scale: interest is reduced to 0.357% per matchday. The warning remains on matchday 8 and the forced sale on matchday 10; the academy belongs to the club and cannot be sold to cover personal debt.
- Homes now have realistic prices, tiered rent and mortgages with a 20% deposit over 20 years at 4%. An owned home replaces rent, appreciates by 2% a year and sells for 95% of its value, settling the remaining mortgage. Cars and streaming studios have revised prices and annual running costs. Existing homes, cars and studios are retained.
- Paid Schedule days are no longer a fraction of your salary. Content is worth two days of streaming, the Sponsor day three days of your sponsorship deal, Coaching six hours at €40 to €150 an hour based on your OVR, and the Exhibition a fee that grows with your fame. Early in a career teaching pays best; later, streaming, sponsors and exhibitions take over.
- The result of a crypto investment now always arrives in your inbox, for both an early exit and the end-of-season settlement. With the Career Advisor the message also carries their reading: the odds and expected value of the band you closed in, and what changes if you hold longer. The minimum investment drops to €5,000 in steps of €5,000; the odds and the mechanics are unchanged.
- Assets lets you compare renting, buying and mortgages before choosing, with separate upfront, annual and matchday costs. Sales show proceeds after repaying the bank, and mortgage payments continue while a home is paused. Studios are now managed in Streaming alongside your channels, with visible bonuses and costs.
- Setup has a new painterly workstation: components change look without moving the desk, and each tier has recognisable finishes. The PC has four tiers with small bonuses to all five stats and is supplied by the club from Challenger. Workstation and health lets you buy a chair and accessories; an ergonomic desk replaces the monitor arm with the same protection. Previews, prices, resale and lifespan are visible without scrolling.
- Business brings together index funds, rental property, merch, foundations, crypto and team ownership in six consistent cards. Confirmations show personal costs and recheck cash and requirements; club infrastructure and refunds remain separate from personal assets.
- The debt summary shows plan milestones, upcoming interest, assets and paused services. Salary deductions distinguish nominal payments from estimated duration, without promising a repayment date when there is no salary.
- Finances now show recurring income and expenses per year and matchday, alongside your contract and taxes. Cash, the recorded balance and the season projection are separate; prizes and events retain their recorded amounts.
- Salaries and offers are now always shown per year: contract, offers, renewals, emergency offers, negotiations, mail, the transfer log and the Lifestyle summary use the same annual figure. Cash flows stay per matchday with the correct label: the top bar now reads «net per matchday». The amounts actually paid do not change.
- The new Crypto dialog shows amounts, limits and risk bands before you invest or liquidate. Your Career Advisor adds their analysis; after liquidation you can read the result immediately, and it also remains in your inbox.
- New careers start with a €9,500 annual Open contract. In Open and Academy you can choose a part-time job in the new Economy › Jobs tab: three offers at a time with different income, stress and fatigue. You can search for new offers once per season. Resigning means waiting one month before taking another job; the offer you left stays unavailable for one season.
CAREER15 notes
- Each season follows a year of 28 matchdays: S1 is 2027, S2 is 2028, and so on, including existing careers. Dates show the day and month; the year appears on the Dashboard and in saves. Dashboard, schedule, market and inbox replace W1–W28 with the exact date of the matchday, the same for every club and always the same when you reload; turns and deadlines stay unchanged.
- Injuries, staff settling in, Setup wear, debt recovery, crypto holding periods and cooldowns now show durations in matchdays. Saved counters and deadlines stay the same.
- THE WEEK becomes PROGRAM. The schedule shows a typical seven-day week repeated throughout each matchday: the club plans weekdays, while Saturday and Sunday remain your choices. The tutorial explains the new rhythm without changing activities or progression.
- Career mode gains 90 life events across six families. Stories about wins, losses and tournaments follow recorded results; teammates are chosen according to the current roster, transfers, contracts and personal chemistry. Event frequency is unchanged.
- Life events appear after the post-match sequence: choose your response with visible costs, effects and odds. The receipt shows the actual outcome and stays in your inbox archive; follow-ups arrive as notifications. Painterly illustrations and your actual teammates and professionals accompany all 90 events.
- Personality messages become the seventh family of life events: they appear in the same panel after the post-match sequence instead of the inbox, and the frequency stays at one event every four matchdays. Scenes tied to a fact, such as a heavy defeat or an expiring contract, arrive only when it happens; call-ups and career milestones take priority.
- After the map pool, pick two of three proposed goals with clear rewards and penalties. If you postpone, Advance lets you choose or ask the Advisor to pick for you. Track your progress from Career Status, receive inbox alerts and read the review before transfer offers arrive.
- Personal goals have been retuned: chemistry, fame, league placement and map knowledge better distinguish the two difficulty levels. Savings require an increase over your opening balance, with separate amounts for each tier and difficulty. Goals already offered keep their agreed targets.
- The Team B inbox recap now shows matches, results and its standout player in clear cards. In Workstation you can sell personal accessories or move down a chair tier; unavailable purchases are disabled and explain why.
- New form goals require an average of 92 or 94, with stress always below 80. K/D goals use your role reference multiplied by 1.15 or 1.30, with at least 10 league maps. Goals already received keep their targets.
- Every season has a single pool of 7 maps, used for both the league and tournaments. Each new season 2 maps rotate: the ones that have been in the pool longest leave and the ones left out longest come back, so the map knowledge you have built up is not lost within a year. New maps added by an update join the pool straight away. In existing saves the current season keeps its maps and rotation starts from the next one.
- League matches are still played on a single map, but the veto now covers the whole pool of 7: the two teams take turns banning until one map is left, and that is the one played.
- Bastion and Pelagic, the two new maps, are here. In new careers they join the pool from the first season; in careers already under way they join the pool from the next season. Every player starts on these maps with knowledge equal to their own average on the others. Each has four attacking and three defending tactics and its own ambience.
- The captain role has been removed. Team HQ and team renaming stay in Business and no longer require the armband. When you join a club, the team's IGL welcomes you; if you are the IGL, the screen does not appear. In existing saves, a pending welcome passes to the IGL without blocking the career.
- The end-of-season report fits on one screen: verdict, record and ranking at the top; the roster with Team B and its best prospect; the continental ranking around your team; the three most improved maps with veto artwork plus the rest of the pool; trophies and awards as a list. Every panel opens its details.
MARKET2 notes
- Contract offers show annual salary and let you negotiate the club prize share, with a salary preview and an example prize split.
- Counteroffers delegated to your PR receive a response on the final transfer day even after reloading your career. An expiring contract is no longer mistaken for a new signature. Offers left over from a previous season are archived as expired when the next window opens.
INTERFACE4 notes
- Manage your personal coach from Training Focus: compare levels, annual costs and bonuses for your selected stat. During the break, plan your bootcamp by choosing a destination and two maps, with clear costs, fatigue and results.
- Subtabs now match the Setup Equipment/Workstation style, with consistent type and sizes across sections and an orange active indicator.
- Player and Team pages have a new layout, with prominent attributes, potential stars for the whole roster and one dialog containing all season maps. Starter and bench cards have equal heights, flags beside nicknames and OVR colors by rating band.
- The veto shows all seven season maps in one row, with knowledge, advantage and choices always visible: available maps stay on the left, bans and picks move right in order, picks in green. You can delegate the whole veto to a teammate. Cards stay visible while the opponent decides, and the map result appears before prematch. The season opening screen separates the seven pool maps from the excluded ones.
TOURNAMENTS1 notes
- Every tournament round is now a best of three, and the final of any tournament, All-Star included, is a best of five. In a BO5 final veto each team bans one map and picks two, taking turns; the seventh is the decider. The series is played map by map, Live or simulated; fatigue, form and stress update once per series. A tournament already under way in an existing save finishes with the formats it started with.
