Football, Tactics & Glory News

In the process of preparing the console version of the game, we are adding all the improvements made to the Steam version as well.

In this and previous updates, we fixed a huge number of rare bugs, and also added new types of socks and shorts to the kit editor.

But the biggest new feature is the official gamepad support. Now, if you connect a gamepad, the game recognizes it and you can continue playing with it.

We tested the game with the Steam Controller, Xbox360 and one of the Logitech controllers.

To configure the gamepad during the game, press Shift + Tab, and in the upper right corner, click on the Controller Settings link. In the opened window you can reassign buttons.

There are two settings that I would recommend for you to customize:

1) Stick Response Curve - the more you tilt the stick, the faster the cursor moves. But you might want the dependence on the tilt is non-linear. I personally chose the option 'Wide'. Thanks to this setting, the cursor will move fast only with very large stick tilt. The weak and medium tilts will move the cursor much slower.

2) Dead Zone Inner - defines the zone in which the gamepad will be insensitive. If your gamepad is old, and its stick is slightly tilted, which leads to an automatic cursor shift, increase this area a little. For myself, I set a zone of 0.100.

The screenshots below show how to find these settings.

Steam allows disabling the gamepad support for individual games.

Right-click on Football, Tactics & Glory in Steam Library. Click Properties. There's a setting "Steam Input Per-Game Setting". Switch it to Force Off.

P.S. Do you play PC games with a gamepad? If so, what gamepad do you use?

Football, Tactics & Glory might feel shallow at first. But the more you play it, the more you see. When you start understanding skills, talents, classes and crosses you start seeing how deep the game is.

Many players drop the game after the first few hours. So one of our players - yoman38 decided to explain one of the crucial game elements - skills and talents.

He created a video which explains the basics:

The voice is recorded by CommRio. Check out his Youtube channel about strategies. Also, he has a video series about Football, Tactics & Glory where he learns the game step by step. So you might find something new in these videos (and commentaries under them).

Also, if you have problems understanding some game's basic, yoman38 opened an educational channel in our Discord server.

So if you feel that the game is either too shallow or too hard - come to our forum or discord. I (developer) or one of our very experienced players will help you.

Have fun!
