- New club facilities: 25 buildings with a total of 289 configuration levels are reproduced in detail. In addition there are up to three stadia with up to 120,000 seats directly on the club grounds. Buildings age and have to be renovated. Each configuration level has specific impacts in other areas of the game.

Moreover, there is the option of much more intensive interchanges with the main sponsor, who wants to be kept happy.
