Difficulty
The difficulty affects the performance of the AI during games, how demanding players are during negotiations, and how fast the AI adapts to your tactics. On harder levels, the AI will target weak matchups more aggressively and react faster to your tactical changes. Players will also ask for higher salaries, longer contracts or specific roles.
