Football, Tactics & Glory News

Recently, we remade the internal text system, and after that, we have updated Football Stars to support our latest texts format.

But it turned out that this system removed blank lines in many messages, hints, etc.

Therefore, we updated the game again, returning blank lines. We also fixed a very rare bug that caused the game to crash after the match.

Before the start of the European Football Festival, we decided to entertain our players with a small competition.

Predict which teams will advance from the group, which will make it to the semi-finals and which team will win EURO. For each country you guessed, you will receive points. The five people with the most points will earn a Football, Tactics & Glory or Football Stars or Manager's Journey key of your choice.

To participate, you need to join our Discord server and write your guesses in the format which is shown in the pinned post in Discord.

Join, read the rules, enjoy the competition! https://discord.gg/EbBKYUzjhV

While we are fully immersed in the development of the next huge expansion, we are committed to making the experience for the players of the current version of the game as flawless as possible.

Therefore, we took the time to make some little improvements and fixe minor bugs:

• Earlier, during a corner, the AI firstly pushed your footballers which are closer to the corner taker. This made it easy to take an advantageous position without much effort. Now, the order of the push has been changed. The AI ​​will start pushing from the far side.
  
• Now, on the main screen of tournament statistics, when scrolling through the list of champions, the list of second places will be scrolled along with it.
  
• Now, the option 'Disable Goal Celebration Animations' also disables the animation of the celebration of victories in tournaments.
  

• The bonus of learning the Talent group did not work for the footballers who appeared in the youth academies of other clubs. Fixed.
  
• On the main screen of continental tournament statistics, sometimes the 'Country with the most trophies' stat displayed the incorrect country. Fixed.
  
• If several footballers are planning to tackle the ball from the opponent which is going to run 3-4 tiles, then when viewing the Ctrl-panel for each of these footballers, the DEF value was shown, which summarizes the DEF of all these footballers. Fixed. Now, you see the correct DEF value. I want to recall that if several footballers stay near the line of the run, only one will try to tackle, but the overall DEF is the sum of all the nearby footballers' DEF x flank tackling penalty,
  
• Rare crashes in the hot seat tournaments have been fixed.
  
• Fixed some bugs that led to crashes when creating a photo after winning a tournament.
  
• Fixed a bug where the AI could sometimes make substitutions using second squad footballers.
  
• Fixed some typos in English and French.
  

I want to recall that recently, we announced the next big expansion Manager's Journey. Add it to your Wishlist to not miss the release day.

For the past six months, we have been working hard on a huge new expansion that would reveal new facets of Football, Tactics & Glory.

Today we are ready to tell you about the main features that will appear in this expansion.


So here are the three big new features we've been asked most:

1. Ability to move from club to club;
   
2. World Cup and Continental national tournaments;
   
3. You will be able to be hired as the main coach of a national team.
   

It's a screen that shows your personal career through all the clubs you were a coach in.

A new resource will be introduced: Reputation. To be invited to a more prestigious club or even to the national team, you need to accumulate a large amount of it.

It is earned when you complete the club's tasks. But if you fail the task, you will lose Reputation and may be fired.

You can see the management's mood on this screen. Also, the screen shows what the management expects of you this season.

For those players who want to play the game 'the old way' with the same club, but still get all the new mechanics, a special level of management's difficulty will be introduced: 'Friendly'. In this mode, you will receive tasks and earn Reputation, but you will not be fired until you decide to leave the club yourself.

There will also be other management's difficulty levels: from very strict to loyal.

There, you can choose a management's difficulty. Also, you can get a lot of Reputation and get invitations from the top clubs right from the start. But it will disable achievements.

So far, in the working version, you can only go to the clubs of your country. But we are planning to start simulating the whole world. Therefore, you will receive offers from different countries. Moreover, the rating of the countries will be taken into account. I.e. even if you have enough Reputation to lead the top club in Ukraine, it may not be enough to be invited to the top club in Spain.

Before the campaign starts, you can limit the number of countries that will be simulated and from which invitations will come. This will make the simulation of the world to be faster.

There, three England clubs invite me to be their coach. You can see that they have different ambitions and therefore, give different rewards for their tasks.

We have already done a tremendous amount of work. After all, in order for these changes to be possible, we had to redo the internal structure of the game, as well as rework the collection of statistics. But in the already working dev version of the game, the ability to complete the tasks of the clubs, earn Reputation, be fired, etc. create many new interesting unique stories.

Also, there will be other features and improvements, which we will talk about later.

As the internal structure of the game changes, you will have to start a new campaign. But it seems to me that this will be a new unique adventure that will be exciting to live.

The expansion is scheduled for release this fall.

In order to play this expansion, you will need to purchase the base game + Football Stars.

Since we are planning to add national teams and the World / Europe / America / Asia / Africa Championships, the more countries there are in the game, the better.
