MASTER LEAGUE

In Master League, you take control of players’ development and training as you manage your dream squad. We've also added the following new features to Master League.

[International Champions Cup]
Before the new season kicks off, you'll get a chance to play in the International Champions Cup, where the top teams from each country play in a league featuring four teams. The competition will be played in Asia, North America, and South America. In your first year, you'll be guaranteed a place, and the competition will feature South American and 2nd division teams.
Growth
Players that have a specific playing style are now able to take part in "Balanced" training, which allows them to change from their current playing style. We've also added a feature whereby you can assign points to each category of Focused Training to better help you to train players to your specifications. Additionally, we made innovations to the balance of players undergoing rapid growth, and now young players can enter the rapid growth stage when they play in matches.

Negotiations
We have made it simpler to manage your money by allowing you to select whether the game's various bonuses are paid out of the Salary Budget or the Transfer Budget. Additionally, when negotiating transfers or contract extensions, you can now specify conditions from the outset.
Team Role
Every player's personality is defined by four trait pairs, each of which is a pair of opposing characteristics. Players fall on one side or the other of each trait pair depending on their individual tendencies. These trait pairs are as follows: Team Player ⇔ Lone Wolf, Passion ⇔ Composure, Technique ⇔ Physical, and Instinct ⇔ Insight. Each player's unique combination of traits is used to determine their team role. Furthermore, we've increased the importance of Team Impact, which is improved through match appearances and development, which gives players the ability to gain even greater team roles.
BECOME A LEGEND Live the life of a pro player and experience a career in soccer.
LEAGUE Take charge of a club of your choice and guide them through a gruelling season to victory.
