• Fixed ball shadow bug when using low quality shadow setting.
  

• Standing reach is now a box instead of circle, with more reach forward than to the sides and to the back. (see image)
  A box should be easier to understand and play with rather than a circle.
  
  
• Gravity reverted to 900
  
  
• The shot mechanics have been slightly rebalanced. You can now look down and up 5° more to have more control. Other values have been adjusted accordingly.
  
  
• Slide tackle now has a touch area that’s shifted further ahead but with less reach towards the back.
  
  
• Deflection reach has been increased. This allows player the chance to deflect more shots/passes.
  

You can now set separate styles for keeper and outfield models and preview both at the same time. The base style settings have been merged into one drop-down menu to make it easier to cycle through all styles with the arrow keys.


You can now see the reach you have when sliding and diving as keeper in addition to the regular standing reach. This option can be toggled on/off in "Customize -> Visuals -> Draw player reach indicators".


We heard your feedback and the majority of you prefer to not have a radar in the game for players on the field. It might come back as a horizontal version only for spectators in the future.
There have been suggestions for having a server toggle for the radar, but we want to ensure a consistent game experience across all matches and not leave it up to server admins whether the radar is visible for players or not.
We might experiment with other ways to indicate player positions in the future.

• Adjusted the keeper catch mechanics so balls are more likely to be caught instead of punched away
  
• Reduced the ball and foul reach for slide tackles
  
• Adjusted the ball physics to let it roll a bit less
  
• Increased the size of the ball for physics calculations
  

This update is a minor update consisting of bug fixes for the last update, and also a couple of small new features. With regards to the radar, we are looking for feedback on this, and have implemented it for what will be an initial trial period. Please note that it can be turned off easily in the Options menu if you wish.

• Added new "point up" celebration (gesture + skill + walk) by Ji
  
• Added radar (experimental trial for feedback)
  
• Re-added "sweep" hairstyle for white skin
  
• Hat now also available on shaved head skins
  
• Lowered sv_maxprops default value to 5 from 15
  
• Fixed bug with sv_removeplayercardban
  
• Fixed bugs with captains armband
  

This update contains a large volume of change to the player models, listed in full below, including a plethora of new hairstyles, and a hat that goalkeepers can wear to keep cool in the upcoming Summer months. There’s also the introduction of a new “warm-up menu”, which comes packed with an array of new props that can be used in warm-up mode to train with (sv_restart -1 in console to enable warm-up mode). Adding to all that excitement, we now have implemented Discord RPC (Rich Presence) integration, whereby people can follow the scoreline and state of the match you’re playing all from the comfort of Discord.
