Little updates to Football Stars



While the expansion was tested a lot, when there are a lot of new players with different play styles and PC configurations, we find new bugs and problems. So we have spent the week after release fully in fixing the bugs and issues.

If you see a little update for a few megabytes, it's usually a bug fix. I don't write the list of changes every time to not spam your news feed with 1-2 strings of the information that some crashes are fixed.

Additionally to fixing bugs, we were doing some polishing. So, here's the list of changes we made for the last week:

Balance changes
  • Reduced slightly the foul probability in the penalty zone.
  • Slightly reduced the chances of the injury.
  • Slightly reduced the chances of Aggressive tackle to injury the opponent.
  • When a footballer Holds the ball, the chances of injury are decreased by 30% (used to be 20%).
  • Slightly rebalances the weights in giving red and yellow cards.
  • Now, after successful qualification match in the Prestige Cup, the number of new fans for getting in the team of the round is significantly reduced.
  • It appeared that the tournament payments were too big (I mistakenly left the old balance from the testing period). All the payments for the top places in the leagues and promotion in the cup tournaments are decreased. Other payments (like sponsors or Glory etc) are left without changes.


Interface
  • Increased the size of the squares with the skill potential.
  • Added the possibility to see the final attributes after the footballer levelled up in the New Level screen.
  • Now, in the team of the round, we highlight also the footballers of your team in the list where there is information about what actions the footballers did.
  • If there are payments planned to the next transfer window (for the footballers who you've got only the half of the payment), you will be able to see that info in the Economics screen.
  • Added the shadows to the names of the penalty performer and goalkeeper. It's important if the penalty is performed at snowy weather.
  • Now you can see what second skills you can learn for your universal class by clicking on the second skill button. Earlier, you should have waited until the first skill is learned.


Bugs fixed
  • In the long lists, the scrolls didn't work properly.
  • If in the footballer's profile the number is deleted and the Esc is pressed, the game crashed.
  • Sometimes, after the goal scored, you could see a black & white texture blinking on the celebration animation.
  • In some situations, after the AI changed the formation, the goal kick was performed not by the goalkeeper, but by a footballer in the centre of the pitch.
  • In some rare situations, AI might have place a footballer on the wing in the tile with another footballer.
  • Dragging a team in the Leagues Editor made the list scroll even if the player didn't want.
  • There was a possibility to send the scout too late before the transfer window ends.
  • In the substitutions screen, on the Specialization tab, all the footballers had 4 arrows (which tell how much XP they earn). Now, the number of arrows will be correct.
  • Sometimes, the AI clubs from the lower leagues might have bought very expensive footballers from the top clubs.
  • After losing in a cup or after promoting to the next stage, there is an animation. However, the match result window stayed on top of this animation.
  • In the Iron Manager mode, the starting applause started playing before the match has been starting.
  • Fixed many crashes which we either too rare or are exclusive to some players who played in an unexpected manner.
