NEW FEATURES
1. As today is the start of the World Cup 2026, a true festival of football, we added a special World Cup Dugout Soccer logo and flags animation which will be active throughout the whole duration of the World Cup. The flag animation contains flags of nations participating in the World Cup and is shuffled each 10 minutes.
2. The Summer Edition of Diamond Cup has arrived! Registration for the #2 Diamond Cup will be open from today until Wednesday, Day 35. The Cup will take place on DS days 37, 38, 40, 42, 44 and the Great Final on Saturday, Day 45. Each Diamond Cup match will be played at 16:00 UK time. More information on the rules can be found in the Manual. First 64 teams that register for the Diamond Cup are eligible to participate.
3. Special time limited offer +10% 💎 on every DS Diamonds purchase will be active until Day 35!
4. Added number of trophies to manager page, it was set to 0 for all, now it contains all trophies a manager won with current and past teams.
5. Modified Training Regime text, text was displayed as light grey and was difficult to read
6. Very slightly reduced chance for getting a red card in all circumstances, for all player aggression levels, and for all referee criteria equally.
7. Very slightly increased chance for getting a yellow card in case of a foul when an opponent player is injured and red card has not been received
8. New National Forum opened for Portugal.
9. Large Manual Update will be published on DS Day 23. More info will be announced in separate news.
10. Announced: Special Reward system for all managers that will be implemented in Season 6.
IMPORTANT FIXES:
1. Fixed bug where double row was shown in Player History on Player page for the last season before being released and before signed as Free Agent
2. Fixed bug where double row caused inflated stats in Record-Holding players for all competitions
3. Fixed bug where retired players didn’t show in the Record Holding players sections for all competitions
4. Performed removal of all stale Training/Youth Pull/Sponsorship notifications. Only the last received notification is left. Transfer, VIP and additional team-related notifications are not deleted. This step has not been successfully performed during Season Update.
5. Fixed text in World Cup tab, now it correctly notes that World Cup is moved to Season 8. The World Cup campaign for participating nations is planned to begin in Season 7.
Kind and Sporty regards,
Marko (DS Development Team)

Really sorry for the delay. We are constantly finding new details and information that we could add into the Manual while putting much more focus on the game development. Both lead to delays with Manual update.
One is for sure, when the update comes out, there won't be much missing in it 😄

Really glad to hear the manual update is on the way, Marko! ???? One thing I'm particularly hoping it covers is the injury system, since it's something I've been trying to understand for a while now — I actually brought it up in another thread back on May 27th but couldn't get a answer there.
To give some context on why I'm so curious, here's what I've tracked on my squad this season:
13 injury occurrences
9 different players affected
~112 total days lost to injury
5 injuries lasting 10+ days
Right at the knockout stage, I'm dealing with 4 first-team players simultaneously injured:
Kim Lund (9 days remaining)
Mauro Schmidt (10 days remaining)
Francisco Facundo (14 days remaining)
Mads Nielsen (6 days remaining)
This couldn't have come at a worse time. All four are regular starters and their absences overlap directly with the Round of 16 fixtures.
Compared to last season, my squad has suffered roughly 3 to 4 times more injuries, and we're only at the halfway point of the season. Would love to understand if this is just bad luck or if there are factors I should be managing better! ????
What makes it even more interesting is that I manage other clubs as well, and while they have also seen a slight increase in injuries compared to last season, nothing comes close to what's happening at Nordkysten. This makes me wonder — is there a hidden attribute related to injuries in the game? Something like an injury proneness stat that some players might have, making them more susceptible than others? If that's the case, it would explain a lot and would definitely be something worth covering in the manual!
