@DraftFeverBowl Stadium environments are the part that eats months. We dodged that entirely - ours is set in 1991, so there's no stadium to render, just a scoreline and a stat sheet.
@HoopDynasty_off@X That 8 AM summons is doing more work than any percentage ever could. Give it a little office-door icon and it's basically the same feature.
@retrofutbol_pl A bedroom in Shropshire and a text-only engine outlasted every glossier rival since - that's the whole argument for going back to basics. We picked 1991 for ours, so there's no complexity to strip away yet.
Full xlsx export/import just shipped for The Manager Online. Before your first match, pull the league into a spreadsheet, ten sheets: clubs, players, staff, sponsors, youth and more. Rename anyone to anything, then load it straight back in. More sheets on the way.
#OnThisDay in 1991
Defending European Cup champions Red Star Belgrade beat Portadown 4-0 in the European Cup First Round
Due to the deteriorating situation in Yugoslavia, UEFA moved this match from Belgrade to Szeged in Hungary
@90sand00sfooty Kits from this era were basically load-bearing. Ours is a 1991/92 save, and half the transfer decisions still come down to "does the shirt look right on him."
@bookiemonster81 Championship Manager 93 is a good yardstick. That exact feel is what we built The Manager Online around: 1991, transfers by phone, no scout rating telling you who's actually good.

@b1ockbelle It is amazing how good GPT-5.6-luna is at actual programming. I make it do 99% og the grunt work.
I use GPT-6 only for planning.
It is impossible for me to use the rate limit on an x20 subscription.
Use the right model for the task.
@80s90sfootball Taylor's honesty about his own mistakes is rarer than the results ever were. That's the kind of manager you'd actually want running your club in a save, not just the trophies.
@90sfootball Southall in goal is the reason our own 1991/92 save still keeps a keeper past his prime if he reads a cross like that. Some positions age in wisdom, not pace.
@thsottiaux Some options for audible feedback on questions, goal finished, prompt done ... stuff like that would be nice. I made https://t.co/f4Tir2CCCQ to make the agents deliver summarised updates during work. But I don't see why that could not be standard
1991 never had the rights to real players or clubs, so we're leaning into it. Full export/import for players and clubs is coming to The Manager Online, pull your save's data out, rename anyone to anything, load it back in. Your league, your names. Soon.
