I'm not a fan of annual releases without big changes, so I've moved away from a yearly release cycle. To make this make sense, I've renamed Pocket GM 21 to Pocket GM 2. This is then more obviously the prequel to the latest version - recently released as Pocket GM 3.

Icon and game graphics updated to align to name change.

50% off with the release of the sequel, Pocket GM 3 Football.

Can it get any better? Yes. Yes it can.
You wanted flexible contracts and that's what you've got...along with some other bug fixes and improvements.

- Extending contracts allowed before final contract year
- Restructuring contracts to increase current year cap space
- General UI Improvements

Oh and there's also some more bug fixes to reduce injury length a tad and stop the AI making silly decisions. Full details in release notes.

- Player demands now reduce through Free Agency, dependant on greed
- Rookie contract % guaranteed reduced
