Season 2 was one for the books. ✍️📖

We saw 24,000+ transfers, $11.6M in injections, and some of the most intense tactical battles, with title races going down to the wire!

But the slate is wiped clean and every club is back on zero. Every manager has a fresh start. Whether you’re defending a title or hunting for promotion, the journey starts again tomorrow, January 17th.

🍿 Watch the Season 3 Kick-Off trailer for some highlights and glimpse of the new game app!

Who’s ready for Matchday Round 1?

As we prepare for Season 3, we are implementing updates to balance the matchday experience, economy, and gameplay. These refinements ensure a fair environment and long-term game health.

It is worth noting that we will give up our ability to change the game once we see the balancing right and as part of the journey to becoming a fully decentralised, player-owned ecosystem.

⚖️ Economy & Match Stability
- SVC Multiplier: The multiplier for SVC injections dropped from 1000 to 500 on Dec 26th. This protects the economy from inflation as more Influence enters the world.
- Match Engine: We have fine-tuned defensive and attacking playstyles to ensure more realistic matchday results.

🏟️ New Cup Attendance Formulas
- Domestic Cups: Attendance is the greater of the Home OR Away fanbase, capped at stadium capacity.
- Continental Cups: Attendance is the greater of (a) Home fanbase x 2 OR (b) Away fanbase. This ensures small clubs with massive stadiums don't generate unrealistic revenue.

🤝 Agent & Morale Logic
- Wage-Based Morale: Agents only lower morale to "Unhappy" if a player's wage is below their market renewal rate. Renewing a contract now automatically resets morale to "Happy."
- No Stalemates: Agents can no longer block transfers and renewals simultaneously. Clubs will now have a fair window to sell before a contract expires.
- Future Updates: We plan to add "Played Minutes" to morale logic in Season 4 (or sooner), impacting players who don't see enough game time.

🔄 Fair Play & Transfers
- Transfer Caps: Maximum of 2 players in and 2 out between any two clubs per season.
- Cooling Period: A 10-week transfer ban applies to any player who has just changed clubs to prevent exploitation.

🏆 Competition Updates
While the Champions Cup is unchanged, Cup Winners Cup (CWC) qualification has evolved. If a domestic cup winner has already qualified for the Champions Cup group stage, the CWC spot passes to the cup runner-up.

As posted in our Discord Announcements channel, the latest update to SoccerRatings.org is live! This update introduces the base ratings that will form the foundation for the upcoming Season 3, giving managers an immediate look at the landscape for the new campaign.

Base Ratings for Season 3 Now Active

The website has been refreshed with the latest base ratings. To ensure a stable environment for all managers to scout and plan their strategies, we have paused further updates to the SoccerRatings site until Season 3 officially launches.

While the data is now live, please note that a small number of players who moved clubs during our brief maintenance window may not be perfectly reflected yet. We are monitoring the data closely; while we don’t anticipate further changes, we remain ready to perform emergency updates should any critical issues be identified.

New Players Added

Following an incredible collaborative effort with our community, we have successfully added 2,015 new players to the Soccerverse ecosystem!

Your help in identifying and resolving duplicates was vital in expanding the database to this level. While we aimed to include even more, technical limitations with our third-party data provider (API-Football) meant we couldn't add every requested player or process all retirements in this specific release.

Looking Ahead: February Fixes

We remain committed to providing the most accurate football data possible. We have scheduled a dedicated technical window in February to address current API challenges. During this time, we will work to rectify any missing player data and update retirement statuses to ensure the database is as robust as possible.

What’s Next?

The updates are ready for you right now. Head over to SoccerRatings.org to study the new base ratings and scout the 2,000+ new additions.

We are thrilled to announce that Soccerverse has signed an agreement with FIFPRO, the global representative organisation for professional footballers.

This new license grants Soccerverse the rights to use the names and images of more than 65,000 professional football players, marking a significant step up in authenticity for the game, which is a decentralized experience running on the Polygon blockchain.

By integrating FIFPRO licensed players, Soccerverse adds a new layer of realism, trust and immersion that is often missing in other blockchain games. Users can now manage their clubs with licensed players and trade their favourites from the world's top leagues, and compete in a truly dynamic player-driven economy.

For you, our community, this means:

• True Authenticity: Names & images to thousands of your favourite players. You will be able to manage, scout, and trade FIFPRO licensed footballers.
• Deeper Immersion: A new layer of the Soccerverse experience opens up as you discover real talent from over 70 nations.
• Trust & Legitimacy: This partnership solidifies Soccerverse as a long-term, legitimate platform in the Web3 space.

The integration of these officially licensed players will be rolled out within the Soccerverse game over the coming days, but will also be fully featured within the new and improved app when it's released over the new year.

We’re giving the community early access to the new Soccerverse V2 App tomorrow, Friday, October 24th! This is a read-only "Pre-Alpha" that we're releasing for one purpose: to gather your feedback and shape the future of Soccerverse together.

Your honest feedback is essential to fine-tune this experience ahead of the full rollout.

What to Expect in the Pre-Alpha
- A Preview: Explore the new interface, data dashboards, and tools. Note: Blockchain functionality and in-game actions are disabled for this phase.
- Give Feedback: Point out any bugs, errors, or issues you find. Your collaborative input will ensure we are heading in the right direction.

Key Features to Explore:
- 1/ New UI: Soccerverse V2 has been rebuilt for intuitive navigation, designed to surface critical information effectively.
- 2/ The SVC Payout Calculator: Model your potential portfolio payouts for the first time! Project how league wins or a player’s Golden Boot season could impact your bottom line.
- 3/ New User Page: Your command center prompts you on critical tasks: contract renewals, manager performance, and more.
- 4/ Deals Page: Get an up-to-date view of the best buy/sell deals in the market, including estimated Return on Influence.

What's Next?
This is just the start. In the coming weeks, we will be integrating the full blockchain functionality, making the platform live and fully operational. However, the Soccerverse match engine and core game features won't be in the new app for now, so you will continue to use the main app for tactic setting and other actions. Looking ahead, we plan to consolidate the current Soccerverse game and V2 in the coming months to create one unified experience.

We're excited to see what you think of the new app. Explore every corner and share all feedback!
