FootLord 2.2 — Phase 2: Landscape Mode Play FootLord in landscape for the first time, with every screen rebuilt for horizontal. Pick Landscape or classic Portrait right at first launch, and switch anytime from settings. Landscape is the new recommended default; Portrait stays fully supported. Wider tables, bigger match views and more room on screen, with full notch and safe-area support.

- Superleague Mode: a massive new career format that stacks dozens of divisions into a single pyramid. Climb from the bottom tiers all the way to the top, and chase a tiered cup system built for the scale: the Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze cups, each grouping a band of divisions so every club has silverware to fight for. The cup rounds are played home and away and decided on aggregate score, just like the continental competitions. - Difficulty selection: you can now choose how hard your career is, and the setting shapes the whole experience rather than just match results. It affects how strong and aggressive the AI clubs are, how competitive the transfer market is against you, how much financial breathing room you get, and how demanding the board and your objectives are. Pick a relaxed climb to learn the ropes, or crank it up for a real test where every signing and result counts. - Random career names: let the game generate random names for your manager and your career, perfect for a fresh start or a quick roll-the-dice run without spending time on setup. - Accessibility: following your feedback, we fixed several usability problems that made the game harder to navigate with assistive tech. - Performance: we audited the heaviest moments in the game, especially season transitions and career rollovers, and reworked how data is loaded to cut memory spikes. The result is smoother transitions, lower memory usage, and far fewer freezes on long careers.

Improvements: Polished screen reader accessibility based on your feedback, for a fully accessible experience. Improved match simulation for more believable results. Fewer absurd outcomes and far fewer weak teams beating stronger ones. Greatly reduced crash rate, now well below target (0.2% vs 1.08%). Optimized memory usage to prevent crashes on low and mid range devices. Bug fixes: Fixed stats archive errors, including wrong total appearances and a loaned player counting for both his parent and his loan club. Fixed national team point inconsistencies during World Cups and duplicate called up players. Fixed a paginated list bug where the cache reset to a state from before a change. Fixed live simulation not showing the aggregate scores of other matches, only the user's. Fixed a bug that caused user team players to lose their national team matches. Simulation now correctly stops on the last day of the transfer window, so you can make your final deals.

• Major fix: individual player awards and trophies could be lost when advancing to a new season. Player of the season, top scorer, MVP and every individual honour now persist correctly across seasons, saves and reloads. • Fixed several background-thread crashes for greater stability when simulating days and matches. • Fixed a sending-off issue: a sent-off goalkeeper is now properly replaced, and suspended players are correctly handled in the lineup. • Many other minor fixes and improvements for a smoother, more reliable experience.
