• Update 1.16: Nationalities - 18 September 2026

  Hi everyone,First things first: I promised too much ːPEAKsobː. In this update, there will be no mechanic to get a job in a foreign country. There is more involved in doing that than I thought. But since the first step to this is done now, and other changes are ready, I decided to release those parts early.This update's biggest change is the introduction of nationalities for single players. Coming with that is the name generation, which now creates fitting names for those nationalities. Originally, I wanted to keep the game "neutral" without countries and nationalities, but I realized that atmosphere and player binding were suffering with that:This additional property will hopefully add to a better definition and better recognition of players. Generating "fitting" faces was an idea, but there is astonishingly little data, on which I can base that. So instead of just using clichés, I deci…

• Hotfix 1.15.3 - 26 August 2026

  The last hotfix introduced a bug that made it impossible to renegotiate the duration of your contract as a coach. Here comes the fix for that problem.

• Hotfix 1.15.2 - 25 August 2026

  This hotfix gets rid of a bug that would occur if you played in a league that was not part of the Europe Cup (e.g. Norway). Also, an exploit was fixed where you could increase your salary by just opening and closing the renegotiation screen. :)

• Hotfix 1.15.1 - 23 August 2026

  Hi everyone,Until now, I tried my best to add all changes in a manner that older savegames will continue to work. Having the foreign leagues in the game has now caused a problem that could possibly lead to problematic savefiles. The issue is fixed now, and this hotfix also contains a workaround that should keep the savefiles working.To be precise, clubs from Norway, Denmark, and the Czech Republic could not be loaded properly, so that some matches in the Master League did not have opponents. This is fixed on loading a savefile so that the missing opponents are filled with the current champion of your own league. That will lead to the situation that the champion plays in the Master League fourfold. It is just a workaround for faulty savefiles, once you hit the next season, everything should work as expected.In addition to that, some translations have been fixed, and the sorting of career…

• Update 1.15: Foreign countries and player events - 21 August 2026

  Hello everyone,Once again, a few weeks have passed since the last update. I hope the new additions will enhance your experience with the game.First, I managed to integrate the foreign leagues - 19 to be precise - so every country has at least its complete first league. These will be simulated as well as the cup in that country. That way, the Master League and Europe Cup participants can now be taken from real league results. The new clubs can be inspected at several spots in the game: in the league table, the transfer market, player search, league and cup results, and the history of each club in the stats screen.Selection in the transfer marketSelection in the league standingsUnfortunately, there have been many problems and bugs while implementing this, so I had to postpone some of my ideas until the next update. My plan for this is, that you will be able to get hired in another country…

• Making of Boeckham's - 1 August 2026

  Hello everyone,I have spent quite some time writing a making of Boeckham's Football Manager. The development journey starts in my youth, when I discovered my love for programming, and spans over some years until the final release last year.The article has now been released on GamersGlobal:https://www.gamersglobal.de/user-artikel/boeckhams-football-manager-post-mortemRight now, it is only available in German (sorry!), but you can make good use of the translation functionality of your browser. So if you are interested in how such a game is made and why such a seemingly simple project can take ten years to finish, you should take a look. By reading, you can also shorten the time until the next update which I hope to get ready in two or three weeks.Have a nice weekend! :)

• Update 1.14: Board goals - 30 April 2026

  Hi everyone,It has been a long time since the last update - my apologies for that! The past few weeks were full of turmoil, but I don't want to mention this as an excuse, but to assure you: Boeckham is still in my focus and is still in active development.But now to something completely more interesting. What is new in this update? The main feature is the board goals that the higher-ups will present to you at the start of each season.You can negotiate those, offer to do more, or manage expectations. Making a goal easier will need some skill and will not be rewarded as much, of course. Your current goals and their status will be visible using the new "todo" sticker in the overview screen.At the end of the season, the board will invite you to a review of the goals. In the future, some goals may also be more short-term, meaning you will have only ten weeks to fulfill one of them. There are…

• Update 1.13: Übersetzungen und mehr - 12 January 2026

  Hi everyone,This update brings some small and big enhancements (at least I hope it does).From now on, the game supports loading custom translations. I would love to offer more translations on my end, because there are football management lovers all around the world, but for such a small game, it is economically not possible to provide. Community translations are a cool thing, but those could not be used in the game so far. But from version 1.13 on, there is a new "..." button in the language menu for loading language files from your hard disk.More user-friendly is the possibility to upload those files to the Steam Workshop, where they can be subscribed to. In such a case, every subscribed language gets a new dedicated button in the language menu:I got the idea for custom languages from eboke81 and TonyBoySUPER, who has been very kind to already create a French translation in the Worksho…

• Update 1.12: Youth players - 21 December 2025

  Hi everyone,With this update, the youth player system has been reworked. Previously, a new youth player would magically appear in your team after a few weeks. From now on, there will be several review events for youth players who are currently living in the academy.For each player, you can decide whether to continue training them in the academy, extract them early to the main team, or release them if they are not good enough and your resources are better spent on the other players. A player’s strength and talent are initially uncertain and can be assessed more accurately with each review round. How many players the academy can host and how long they can continue to learn new skills depends on the academy’s upgrade level. At level 1, for example, the academy may only host one player, and after a single review round they can no longer improve. At level 5, up to three players and threee ro…

• Update 1.11: Multiplayer-Verbesserungen - 1 December 2025

  Hello everyone,No 90s management game could live without local multiplayer. That is why this update mainly focuses on enhancements for the multiplayer mode. Previously, some features were not properly supported, or calculations were incorrect, for example, all users were assigned the same main sponsors. In a game, only the first user could make substitutions or determine the playing style. This has now been expanded. By clicking on the substitution button, the bench can now be switched for all clubs that currently have an active match: Another new feature is the option for multiple users to submit offers on the transfer market, because previously, the first user in the round was always able to snatch all the good players away. So now, before a new deal goes through, the game asks whether another user is also interested in the player. If so, the auction window opens, allowing everyone to…

• Thank you for 1001 downloads! - 30 November 2025

  Hi everyone,Boeckham's Football Manager has hit the magical milestone of 1001 downloads. I am very grateful and give my wholehearted thanks to everyone who gave this little indie game a chance. My expectations for the release were nowhere near that number. I would have been happy with 100 downloads. 500 was already a fantasy. And now you multiplied the number I hoped for by ten. Thank you for your trust, the numerous ideas for improving the game, and your respectful treatment of bugs. Small indie games are not perfect at release, and I am glad you were not trigger-happy with bad reviews, because you could evaluate the whole development situation very well.If you haven't bought the game already, but want to in the future: hold your horses until 8th of December. The game will get its first small 25% sale. You won't save a lot of money there because the game is already not too expensive, b…

• Hotfix 1.10.4 - 21 October 2025

  Hi all,The last update to a newer version of Unity introduced the bug for some players that the screen is zoomed in and the settings can't be accessed. This hotfix adds a shortcut so you can use the TAB key to open the settings and adjust the screen size.This should work in Windows and the Steam Deck.

• Update 1.10.3 - 9 October 2025

  Hey everyone,After the last update to the new Unity version, the launcher just disappeared. There you could set the screen resolution of the game.Because of that, I added those setting directly into the game in the settings menu:You can now also chose between exclusive fullscreen and fullscreen window.Have fun with it :)

• Security update 1.10.2 - 7 October 2025

  Hi everybody,Maybe you already heard: Unity - the game engine behind many games - suffered from a recently discovered security issue that existed since 2017. Until now, there do not appear to have been any problems, and Unity and Steam have taken countermeasures. But as a recommendation, every game should make an update to close this security issue. This update 1.10.2 does exactly that.The only problem is that the engine version I was using for Boeckham's football manager so far, did not get a security update. So I had to update to a whole new version. Such an update ALWAYS brings trouble along. I spent the last two days repairing stuff, and I hope the update has no impact on your enjoyment of the game. If you notice anything odd, please let me know and I will try to fix it asap. Especially texts, and font styles were posing problems.I hope this "contentless" update brings security for…

• Hotfix 1.10.1 - 2 October 2025

  Hi all,This hotfix corrects a bug in the Steam-Workshop upload. Also, the rendering of the money chart in the statistics screen for money values above 2B was corrected.

• Update 1.10: Workshop Integration - 29 September 2025

  Hey everyone,The main highlight of this update is the integration of the Steam Workshop! That means club files and logos can now be shared directly through Steam — no more manual copying needed. Nothing’s standing in the way of using the original clubs and logos anymore.Here’s how it works: once you’ve loaded, edited, and saved a club file in the editor, the Upload to Steam button becomes active. In the window that pops up, you can select any of your previously created items from the dropdown. If you haven’t created one yet, just enter a title and click “Create new…”.At the bottom, you’ll see which files will be uploaded to Steam — including all logos and crests you’ve assigned to clubs. You can also add a description and a preview image for your item. Later on, you can easily update your content using the “Update…” button.You’ll find your uploaded items on Steam in the game’s Workshop…

• Update 1.9: Custom difficulty - 18 September 2025

  Hi everyone,With this Update, you can customize the difficulty level not only by using the five presets, but you can create your own presets:At the start of the game, there is a new cog icon. In the cofiguration window you can finetune many modifiers. They act as multipliers, which means: if a number is set to 1.5, then the related value in the game will be multiplied by 1.5. If you get 10 reputation points for an action, with that multiplier you will get 15 instead. Another example: if you need to roll the dice usually higher than 20 and use a multiplier of 0.5, you only need to roll above 10.What values are modified will be shown in the tooltips if you hover over an input field. You can input values directly or use the buttons for that.You can cycle the given presets in the combo box to see how those affect the multipliers. If you want to change the values, you need to set "Custom" in…

• Update 1.8.5 - 8 September 2025

  Hi everyone,This update was meant as a hotfix for the bug that money turned negative once it reached over 2 billion (thanks to Strohmann and RadlerAndi). Also, two stories could block the game (thanks to Waldi98). Both are fixed now, so you can get insanely rich again (although you could take a philosophical view on the idea, that no one should own more than 2 billion) ;)But a new feature also made the deadline: you can now mark some of your players as favourites. Those will always be set when using the automatic roster checkboxes:Why should you use this? If you want to rejuvenile your team or support a promising youth player, you can mark them. In the automatic setup mode, those will ALWAYS be set first if possible. After that, the game will try to create the desired formation (if that setting is active, see last update), and last not least, if the roster is not fully set, the stronges…

• Hotfix 1.8.4 - 4 September 2025

  Just a tiny fix, that deals with preventing shirts and pants having only white and black colors when starting a new game.

• Update 1.8.3 - 3 September 2025

  Hi everyone,Today's update brings a few bug fixes that were causing trouble in some circumstances.Fix for the Master League participant always being the same, no matter who won the leagueFix for the lower information bar, if the roster value got over 2 billion (yes, that happened :D)Fix for returning players that were loaned, and could cause 12 players to be set to playFix for a story arc in the coming-out narrativeAdditionally, a new setting feature is also included:Using the new cog button at the formation, you can now set a preferred formation for the automatic setup of players. You can use 3-4-3, or 3-5-2, and the automatic system will fill those slots if possible. You can also set less than 10 outfield players, e.g. 0-7-0. Then, the system will fill those 7 midfielder spots, and will set the rest accordingly (as before: the strongest players (red checkbox) or to balance the weakest…
