Football, Tactics & Glory News

Hi everyone!

Today we want officially announce that we are working on a big paid add-on for FTG which will be released around summer-autumn 2020.

The players who played 50 and more hours, know that at some point you stop feeling the game world. Because despite you have played 20-30 seasons, there isn't a possibility to see how your or other clubs contributed to the game world, who was a champion of various tournaments, what footballers left the mark on the football world etc. But the game world is living - matches are played in all the countries, players earn XP, clubs earn money. However, you can's see that.

Therefore, we decided to create an add-on which will give you just that - the possibility to plunge in the sea of statistics.



Another huge improvement will be the new mode which will allow you as a coach to be hired by other clubs. Each season or two, the club management will set a task for you.
Successful completion of the task will improve your rating, which will allow more famous clubs to draw attention to you. And if you do not complete the task, you may be fired, and your rating will drop.

In addition, there will be other improvements that correct the balance of the game and add new features.

In the spring, we plan to open early access to the add-on. Those players who want to be the first to test the new features will be able to buy the add-on and try them out. But this will be an incomplete version which still will be in the development process.

Once every two weeks, we will talk in more detail about the features that will appear in the add-on. So stay tuned here on Steam, or on any of our news feeds:

Digital version of Football, Tactics & Glory Coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on January 22. In the US, it will be available a bit later - in February.

The retail version of the game will be available only for Germany and Austria. Maybe, in the UK and France too. German players can already pre-order the retail version from this store.

The console version is totally the same as the Steam version. It also includes the last huge update.

The only difference is that there won't be users' modifications. Also, you won't be able to upload your own files into the game. However, you will still be able to edit leagues, players, team, logotypes, weather etc using in-game editors.

But everything else is the same: the fun from controlling the club, the pleasure from making the tactical and strategical decisions, the inner satisfaction from seeing your player who used to be a young perspective weakling to become a top-notch forward.

What makes the console version more satisfying is that you can bring your friends and play your own hot-seat tournaments in front of TV on a couch instead of sitting tightly near one PC. ːcannonshotː

According to feedback, we realized that some exams are quite complicated. Not everyone manages to get through them. If the player understands the essence of the test, he will be able to better understand the game mechanics. But we do not want the difficulty in passing the tests to prevent those who are stuck from enjoying the game.

Now, after a certain number of unsuccessful attempts, the question mark blinks, and the Help button appears on the test description screen. Click this button.



The game will show you a few first steps of the test which are less obvious.

• Fixed some crashes related to Exams
  
• Significantly increased the list of Spanish names. Also, added a small number of new Portugal names.
  
• Kick-off animation couldn't be skipped by Right mouse click. Fixed.
  

Football, Tactics & Glory is a pretty unique game. We created all the mechanics from scratch, trying to give a new exciting experience that no other game could give before.

But giving the new playing experience also brings difficulties - players need to take deep into game mechanics and try to understand them. And we do not seem to have succeeded in teaching many players how to use basic mechanics.

And given that the game has quite a large tactical depth, we are very sorry to see on the streams or read in the reviews that many players do not use the entire tactical arsenal. For example, many people know that there are crosses in the game, but few people know how to use them. However, it's a very important mechanics which allows winning even stronger opponents.



Therefore, we decided to make an update that introduces you to many important mechanics in a fascinating way.


Start a new campaign with the Tutorial option enabled. At some point, it turns out that you must pass a series of tests in order to obtain a coaching license. You will take tests between matches.

You can also go to Footballpedia in an already launched campaign, and in the last tab, you will find links to all tests. Click on any link to pass the desired test at your convenience.




We created a tutorial in which every mechanics is explained by a minimum of text. You can hover over underlined words to find out more information, but this is not necessary.

The most important thing is that the tests are interactive. To pass the exam - you need to complete the tasks. Having completed the tasks, you’ll better understand how certain mechanics work.




BALANCE

• After successfully performing the Nutmeg skill, not only Accuracy and Pass increase but also Control increases by 50%. This will make it easier to get around the Center Defenders.
  
• The referee gives cards more often when a footballer injures an opponent.
  
• Center Midfielder's Pass bonus increased from 20% to 30%.
  
• When a team does not have enough players, the club president finds an additional player. On Easy difficulty, everything remained unchanged. On Normal difficulty, the player will be 32-33 years old. On Hard difficulty, his age will be 34 years.
  
• The sponsor, who paid money for goals, also paid for goals in penalty shoot-outs. This was wrong. Fixed.
  
• Long pass distance changed from 3-5 tiles to 4-5. Do not be surprised when in the usual situation you can not use the Long Pass for 3 tiles.
  
• Long pass, Layoff Pass and Olympic Kick now spend one “charge” when passing through an opponent’s footballer. Now, for example, you will not be able to perform the Long Pass of the 1st level through two players, because the “charge” will be spent on the first player, and the second player will surely intercept the ball.
  

INTERFACE

• Added Borderless fullscreen.
  
• Added numbers on jerseys on the Management screen.
  
• Added information about injuries and cards on the mini-pitch during the simulation of the match and in the post-match report.
  
• Now the game uses real jersey designs on the mini-pitch, in the post-match report and in other places (previously used jerseys with the main colour).
  
• Now the game determines the main colour of the opponent’s kit and automatically selects such kits so that the colours of the teams do not match.
  
• Improved the placement of Footballpedia articles. Now they are laid out in different tabs. Icons have been added in some places to make it easier to find articles.
  
• Images have been added to some Footballpedia articles.
  
• Now AI can perform penalty instead of a player. This can be useful when playing Hot seat mode.
  
• When creating the game world, the flags and names of countries from modifications were not displayed on the Country Ratings screen. Fixed.
  

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved rendering of the faces. Now the features of the faces look more distinctively.
  
• There was a bug which allowed for some AI players to learn skills even though their specialization level wasn't sufficient. Fixed.
  
• Fixed the colours of the tournaments on the calendar timeline in the Main Screen. They were mixed.
  
• When there were 32 players in the club, the bench disappeared in the club's photo. Fixed.

Many people are aware that we are not in the business of making lots of discounts, we believe that the game is priced fairly. Football, Tactics & Glory is a deep strategy game capable of providing hundreds of hours of entertainment with the constant discovery of new tactical and strategic elements.

Moreover, there is no other game like it on the market. FTG’s turn-based gameplay allows the players to personally control the flow of each match, get closer to their footballers and achieve a better understanding of proper team-building. Meanwhile, the footballers gain specific experience depending on the position they play. • Just like in many RPGs where the more a player uses a bow, for example, the more their archery skill levels up.

Since we have been working on new content for the game for a whole year now, we are going to increase its price. Yet, before it happens, you have an entire week to purchase the game for the old price with a final discount.
