A new update (23-02) of Old School Football Coach is here! The new changes include the following:

Coaching Carousel in Career Mode

• After the season ends you can now get offered coaching jobs at other schools depending on how your team has been performing.
• AI schools can now fire under-performing coaches between seasons and attempt to hire better replacements from less prestigious schools or from the pool of unemployed coaches.
• There is now an off-season period between seasons where you can fire your assistant coaches and hire new ones
• Assistant coaches can now develop and gain new abilities between seasons

Other Improvements

• New career mode saves will begin in the year 2023.
• Several balance changes have been made to recruiting to help prevent the skill level of all teams from averaging out over time
  • Talented recruits are now more likely to care about high prestige and recent success in schools.
  • All recruits are now more likely to care about a school’s proximity to their home.
  • Recruits are now more likely to commit slightly earlier if a good team has given them the best offer.
  • On average there will be less good recruits each season and more recruits on the lower end of the skill rankings
  • The number of available recruiting points has been halved so that a recruit’s interests have a bigger impact
• Additional types of media headlines can pop up during the career mode season to, for example, report on coaches that are on the hot seat or to report on post-season results.
• Improvements have been made to the preseason ranking algorithm.

Happy Coaching!
