========= ACKNOWLEDGMENTS =========
We did a lot of difficult and routine work so that in the end you could enjoy new game features.

However, we did it together with you. Many of you have contributed to making the game better. We are very grateful to everyone who participated in the discussions, wrote reviews on Steam, reported bugs, sent crash reports.

Thanks to everyone who shared their impressions while playing the Beta, who helped us to find tricky bugs, who supported us with the kind words.

Special thanks to those who helped us to translate the game into other languages!!!




========= YOUR FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT FOR US =========
If you like the update, we will be happy to read about it at any of our social networks. Btw, if you haven't written a Steam review yet, now is a great time to do it. Because more players will see how good our game is.

If you do not like something in the update - write about it on the Steam forum or Discord. I check your messages every day and in case of problems I try to help.

Have fun! : cannonshot :: cannonshot :: cannonshot:

And by the way, which of the new features pleased you the most?

Before our big release of the update from the Beta to the official version, we launch a small update. It adds two new haircuts, new UI graphics on the pitch, fixes some bugs (and possibly, creates some new bugs). If you see any bugs, write to us in the Steam forum, please.

• [NEW] Revamped the UI graphics on the pitch (arrows, circles of the potential, highlights, etc)
  
• [NEW] 2 new haircuts
  
• [IMPROVED] Changed slightly three the rightmost green colours which were close to each other. So now, the difference between them is more obvious.
  
• [IMPROVED] Added a hint on the screen where you could change the countries' ratings before the start of a new campaign. The hint says that the ratings of different countries can't be the same.
  
• [IMPROVED] Rewrote the texts of the interactive penalty tutorial.
  
• [IMPROVED] Added the description of the new penalty mechanics in Footballpedia.
  
• [IMPROVED] Decreased the pause between whistles in the double whistle which signals the foul.
  
• [FIXED] The birthday dates from the modifications didn't work in the campaigns.
  
• [FIXED] The graphs of the clubs from other countries used the tournament names from your country if you play with custom tournament names.
  

For about 9 months, we have been working on a huge free add-on that expands your editing capabilities of game countries, leagues, teams and football players. On June 18th we will make this add-on available to everyone.

In the meantime, we are releasing the latest beta update. It includes quite a lot of significant improvements.

• New penalty mechanics!
  
• New match interface. You will have to get used to it for some time, but then - you will like it. It's not only more beautiful, it also contains some tiny usability improvements.
  
• Now you can edit goalkeepers' kits! (You asked us for this for a long time)
  
• Now you can remove the countries from your continent at the start of a new campaign. You can even leave only your only country. It's very useful if you play the modifications like this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1677999082 But it's also helpful if you want to create a series of the modifications where you change only a few countries and play only with them. So you won't depend on the number of countries which already exist in the game.
  
• Translated the game to all supported languages (thanks to everyone who helped us with the translation!!! It was a big helpːcannonshotː).
  
• Added a big amount of new elements for the crest editor (increased the number of images from 36 to 109).
  

We have not had time to add tutorials and update footballpedia for the new mechanics, so I will briefly explain it here:

• Now you choose from 6 zones instead of 3.
  
• Now there is a chance to miss the goal.
  
• When performing the penalty you will see the probabilities of hitting the goal.
  
• The probability will depend slightly on the Control attribute. Therefore, the game will automatically choose the players with high Control.
  
• When you play as a goalkeeper, you will see the forward's probabilities of hitting the goal. They will be shown by the forward's back.
  
• The goalkeeper-AI tends to jump into those parts of the goal where the attacker is more likely to hit.
  
• Similarly, the forward-AI tends to kick in the zones where his chances to hit are better.
  

In this add-on, no additional changes to the penalty mechanics are planned. But in the future will consider the possibility to add the choice of a penalty taker.



CREATING AND EDITING

• [New] Revamped the interface of the kits and crests editors. Now they look like the face editor.
  
• [New] Added two new haircuts. Here's one of them:
• [Improved] If you edited the kit in the leagues editor, the footballer who demonstrated the kit was random. Now it will be a footballer from the edited team.
  
• [Fixed] If you remove all footballers from the team, and then start adding new footballers, the button "Remove" disappeared.
  
• [Fixed] When you uploaded the list of the names for the first time, the list didn't save.
  
• [Fixed] When you uploaded the list of the names to Australia and Canada, the names didn't appear in the leagues.
  

MATCH

• [Fixed] Informational panel didn't appear after pressing Ctrl.
  
• [Fixed] Removed the second squad from the Specialization tab in the substitutions.
  

HOTSEAT

• [Improved] - In the substitutions screen we added the possibility to make subs for both teams (earlier only active team might substitute footballers).
  
• [Fixed] - the game crashed in some cases after choosing a team for hotseat.
  

SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN

• [Improved] - significantly improved the poses of the footballers in the team photo. Now the photos will be more diverse.
  
• [Improved] - a small "plus" which added money in the Mogul mode is made brighter (more visible).
  
• [Improved] - for many countries we updated the logotypes, kits and colours. Also, changed the positions of the top teams in Premier league.
  
• [Fixed] - sponsors didn't pay money for promoting from the league and for taking the first place in the league.
  
• [Fixed] - after promoting from the group stage in the continental cup your next opponent might be the team which played in your group. It wasn't realistic.
  
• [Fixed] - if you changed the kit for the home team before a match, the stadium and fans changed their colours as well. It wasn't realistic.
  
• [Fixed] - if a footballer possesses several classes, his colour in the substitutions might not correspond to the colour of the currently selected class.
  
• [Fixed] - in some cases, universal class AI-players might learn the same skill into different slots.
  

============
We plan to release the Beta to the official release on the 18th of June. So if you haven’t launched Beta yet, it’s best to wait until the big launch.

Every campaign in Football, Tactics & Glory develops differently. Every time you create your club you live a totally new story. You will meet new challenges, you will form a new team, you will get close to the new footballers. You will feel something personal in relationships with your club.

In our Discord server, players write their stories, tell about problems, about wins and defeats, about their tactics.

It's quite interesting to read these stories. Also, they might be useful for novices because they show how experienced players build their clubs, what priorities they have, what tactics they use etc.

Here's a short preview of how it looks:



Visit our Discord server. In the "Personal stories" category you will find the current stories. Also, if you want to tell about your way to success, ask to open the personal channel. I'll create it shortly.

Btw, earlier our players wrote their personal stories in Steam forums. I wrote about the most interesting stories here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/375530/announcements/detail/1680288181458047450

Play. Create. Win!

We continue adding new content to our huge free update which currently is in Beta stage. Its goal is to significantly improve the editing possibilities.

For a long time, modders asked us to add new colours and new types of shirts. We've heard you ;) In the last Beta update, we've increased the number of colours from 10 to 100, and the number of shirts from 30 to 82.

• Increased the number of shirts from 30 to 82. We tried to implement the most used shirt images so you'd be able to recreate your favourite clubs. Few old shirt images were changed to make them fit organically to the new ones.
  
• Increased the number of the colours from 10 to 100. Now, every colour has 10 shades.
  

MODIFICATIONS AND NEW CAMPAIGN

• [NEW] - Added a new tab to the Rename Tournaments screen. There you will be able to change the names of the tabs "Leagues", "Cups", "Continental Cups", "Countries". It might be useful for those players who create special sets of modifications where instead of Countries you use regions, lands, states etc.
  
• [Improved] - Added the button "Rename Tournaments" on the main modification screen.
  
• [Improved] - Significantly improved the Faces Generator. Now, there will be more diverse faces (fewer chances of having too similar faces). Some faces in the already started campaigns might change.
  
• [Fixed] - If you changed the starting year, some messages showed the wrong year.

• [Fixed] - Removed the hot seat message which mistakenly was shown in the single-player campaign when you switched between default and tactical views.
  
• [Fixed] - In some cases, the penalty conditions worked wrongly in the hot seat mode.
  
• [Fixed] - In some cases, in hot seat mode, the logotypes of the chosen teams were displayed wrongly.
  

OTHER

• [Improved] - At the end of a season, you will see the stage you reached in the cup (win, finals) instead of fake place (1st place, 2nd place).
  
• [Improved] - The goalkeeper model is made less "fat".
  
• [Improved] - Improved the heavy rain effect when the camera is zoomed.
  
• [Improved] - Removed rewarding sounds, which were played when you opened Specialization screen to upgrade a footballer. They were annoying.
