- Matchmaking Improvements - 1 August 2026
We've updated several parts of the fixture request system, including league matchmaking, the Assistant Manager and cup matches.The Assistant Manager is now activated when a club hasn't connected to a match for more than seven days, rather than when it hasn't logged in. This allows many more human-managed clubs to continue participating in matchmaking. When your Assistant Manager is active, you'll see a notification in the top-right corner of the home screen.Together with improvements to the matchmaking system, this means many more human-managed clubs are available when looking for opponents. Overall, you should generally find matches more quickly, play against bot teams less often, and be matched against human-managed clubs more frequently.As human-managed clubs are generally more challenging than bot teams, we expect clubs will, on average, find it harder to earn as many league points…

- Player Traits & Hot/Cold Players - 1 May 2025
Hi everyone Big update for you this month! It includes some very significant Match Engine improvements with the aim of making more attributes more important and improving the general flow of the game. We also aim to make the match experience more enjoyable and rewarding to encourage managers to play matches ‘live’ and have added a couple of new features that will make playing those matches all the more important. Enhancing the match experience further is a brand new Hot/Cold Player feature. This new feature will give you more things to consider in each match and make playing matches ‘live’ more important as you potentially try to tailor your tactics to which players are on form! Also in this update is another brand new feature: Player Traits. Players who graduate fully scouted from your academy are awarded special traits. We won’t list out what they are… but there are a number of these…
- Training System Update - 13 March 2025
Hi everyone The release earlier this month updated the Training system to switch up the gameplay a little! The initial visible attributes are now mixed between the A and B options so that neither option begins fully revealed, meaning that you never have a complete option to pick initially. This increases the importance of using your training points wisely as there’ll no longer be a fully revealed option you can ‘safely’ fall back on. We also tweaked the potential career paths of players by increasing the variance of training options throughout their careers, especially for older players. This means that there is potentially a lot more scope for some older players to retain their useability if the right options come along for them - again, meaning that using those training points wisely will become even more important.
- New Contracts Page - 24 January 2025
Hi everyone We have added new functionality to the game to enable clearer management of contracts and wages for your squads. This should enable everyone to have an at-a-glance picture of how their squad is shaping up for the following season. The new area includes information on player wages for the following season, which players (if any) will graduate from your academy, and shows if you’re currently due to have any spaces in your squad. You can now manage all of your player contracts from this area, rather than having to do so from each player’s profile. This new ‘Contracts’ screen can be found under the ‘Transfers’ menu option. This update also includes the addition of a Chinese language option to the game! A summary of the changes is listed below: New Contracts Page Centrally manage all expiring contracts from a single place See what your squad will look like next season See what yo…

- Improved Match Engine and New Player Roles Added - 3 November 2023
Hi everyone This update primarily focusses on improving the match engine itself, with a particular focus on player decision-making. Thanks for all the feedback people have been providing. Much of it has been incorporated into this update. There have been significant improvements to player decision-making with regards to passing, shooting, dribbling, and heading, as well as both defensive and offensive movement. From a visual point of view, the way the ball is represented when it is off the ground is much clearer. There have been numerous updates to current player roles and some brand new player roles created. Many of these new roles additions/changes were created in order to enable more types of tactics to be created (and to provide some additional counters to the more popular tactics). We expect there to be a significant shake-up to the tactics and player meta (i.e. which tactics peopl…

- Match Experience Update and Steam Early Access Exit - 2 September 2023
Hi everyone Yesterday there was the first of a series of updates focussing on improving the match experience. The tactics interface along with the squad page have been completely overhauled. Included as part of the overhaul was the new tactical instructions to assign set piece taker/roles. Lots of the visual elements associated with the match experience were improved including the addition of an event timeline. The Changelog for the update can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/468070/discussions/1/3819669865031265048/ 90 Minute Fever also exited Steam Early Access yesterday. We just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who have been with us through the Early Access journey. It has certainly taken us a lot longer than we first envisioned, and taken more than a few iterations of league, fixture, transfer and other systems. But we have finally got to the stage where the…
- Major Update - Added Cups, Player Search, New Training System, Reset - 5 June 2023
Hi everyone There has been a major update at the start of this month including a gamewide reset. This is a major update that touches pretty much all areas of the game but some of the headline changes include: The transfer system has seen a complete overhaul. Players will now undergo an auction process when they enter the transfer market. After which if nobody bids for them they will be instantly purchasable by anyone in the game. A player search feature has been added to help you scour over the many, many thousands of players that will now be available to you to find and buy! The league system has also seen a complete overhaul. Clubs are now split into 16 team leagues with the top 4 getting promoted and the bottom 4 getting relegated each season.

- Feature Spotlight - Training System, Player Contracts, Reset - 25 May 2023
Hi everyone Here is a quick outline of a few more of the changes coming in the major update currently in development. Please see the forum post (link below) for more details. This update is coming at the start of next month (June 1st). The Training System is getting some enhancements and balancing improvements. The “B” Training Options are now hidden. Players will now each earn Development Points when playing matches. These points can be spent to reveal attributes on the “B” training options, to add/change positions of players, and to hasten their recovery from injury. You can now extend as many of your players contracts as you want without manager skills limiting this. But choosing to extend contracts for players or not is a big decision! When you extend a player’s contract their wages will increase and you’ll only be able to sell the player for half their transfer value during the fir…
- Feature Spotlight - Transfer & League Systems, Cups - 1 May 2023
Hi everyone Here is a quick outline of a few of the changes coming in the major update currently in development. Please see the forum post (link below) for more details. The transfer system will see a complete overhaul. Gone are the scouting pools and marquee player auctions. Instead all players in the game will undergo an auction process when they enter the transfer market. After which if nobody bids for them they will be instantly purchasable by anyone in the game. This should ensure a huge amount of competition for the best players in the game while also allowing users to get players instantly when they need them. A player search tool has been created to help you scour over the many, many thousands of players that will now be available to you to find and buy! The league system is also seeing some major changes. The Division/Tier system is still in place, but clubs are now split into…
