Tech Trees, Tech Points and Tiers[]

Every building has its own tech tree with a number of attached tech branches. You purchase techs in a tech branch through spending tech points. Tech points are gained by upgrading a building's level. For the majority of buildings the first six upgrade levels earn 1 tech point per upgrade level, and each upgrade level above earns 2 tech points per upgrade. However, for the Club office and the Psychology building they begin to get 2 tech points from level four onwards. The Broadcast building only gains 1 tech point per level. Tech points are not transferable between buildings, but you don't have to spend them when you gain them, but can save them up instead.

Tech trees use a tier level system, with the maximum tier you have access to being equal to the building's current level. You cannot buy tech in a tier that is above your building's level. In addition, you cannot skip tech in a lower tier of a tech branch to purchase a higher tier tech in that branch - you must purchase all tech in a tech branch in the order they appear.

If you click on a tech a description of what is does is shown and you can then choose to purchase it if you have the tech point, or you can close it down and look at another tech.

Tech Upgrade Descriptions[]

  • AD Views Per Reward — This tech determines how many video ads need to be watched in the broadcast building to earn reward.
  • Amenity Plot — Each time this tech is taken an additional amenity plot becomes available for the club to use. The club can have one activate Amenity per Amenity plot.
  • Budget Boost — Every time this tech is chosen it increases the money that the board supplies at the beginning of every season by an additional $50,000.
  • Budget Carry-over — Every time this tech is chosen it increases the amount of unspent money at the end of the season that is carried-over and added to next season’s budget by an additional $75,000. Any money carried-over will still generate tokens for the user at the end of the season.
  • Cards — Each tech level increases the chance of receiving a card in the reward for watching video ads, as well as the energy level of the card.
  • Club Cash — Each time this tech is taken it increases the random amount of club cash received as a reward for watching video ads.
  • Composure Cards — Each time this tech is chosen it raises the chance of the psychology building supplying your club with a Composure card, checked each day. Composure cards raise a player's current and maximum Composure level.
  • Conference Rooms — For each time the tech is taken there is a 25% chance that the hotel will generate a token that day e.g. if you pick this tech twice then there are two 25% chances of gaining an extra token, so each day you could receive between 0-2 extra tokens.
  • Determination Cards — Each time this tech is chosen it raises the chance of the psychology building supplying your club with a Determination card, checked each day. Determination cards raise a player's current and maximum Determination level.
  • Epic Deck — Every time this tech is chosen you receive a deck full of collectable Epic cards of the type specified. In addition, at the beginning of every season after first getting each deck tech you will also receive an single Epic card into your album. In the Broadcast building, however, this tech instead supplies a chance of an epic card appearing as a reward for watching video ads.
  • Energy — For the Training, Stadium, Hotel and Medical building each time this tech is chosen the building will provide +1 energy to the club’s general energy pool, as well providing daily cards for each building whose total energy will be equal to the energy supplied by that building e.g. if your Training building had 6 energy tech then it would supply 6 energy added to your general energy pool, as well as provide daily cards whose combined energy adds up to 6 energy (random distribution). The Office and the Academy building, however, supply energy in a different way - these buildings only supply energy when you have an active contract negotiation (Office Building) or a prospect in development (Academy). In addition, these buildings only ever supply two cards, with the energy value of the two cards being random within parameters set by the energy tech level of the building - energy tech levels 1 to 5 determine the maximum energy level that can be generated for a card and cards generated will have an energy value in that range e.g. if you had invested in three energy techs for your office building then it would generate two daily cards, and each card would have an energy value between 1 and 3. The actual energy the building supplies is equal to the energy value of the highest card generated that day. Energy tech level 6-10 don't add extra cards or energy. Instead these techs create a chance that one or both of the daily cards generated are Epic cards instead (Epic cards count as 1 energy for purposes of determining how much energy the building supplies that day):
Tech Level 1st Card 2nd Card
6 15% 0%
7 20% 0%
8 25% 10%
9 30% 15%
10 35% 20%

e.g. If you had invested in 8 energy tech levels in your Office building then every time you had one or more contract negotiations open your Office would supply two Contract cards. There would be a 25% chance that the first card would be an epic card and a 10% chance the second card would be an epic card. If one or both cards are not epic they would have an energy value ranging between 1 and 5, and the amount of energy the building would supply would be equal to the highest energy card value of the two cards, with epic cards counting as 1 energy.

  • Free Roam Tag - Each time this tech is chosen you can, if you want, give a player a Free Roam Tag. A player with this tag has freedom to make runs and dribble in any direction they feel like. This will supersede any instruction the player may have from their role.
  • Form Cards — Each time this tech is chosen it raises the chance of the psychology building supplying your club with an Form card, checked each day. Form cards raise the form level of the player it is played on and also resets the clock for when form changes occur for that player.
