Improved CPU decision making - no longer makes as risky handballs or kicks into a defender — wont handball to the man on the mark or kick the ball backwards into its own defensive 50 when no upfield options unless a teammate is completely free. · Fixed scores not registering when the ball crossed the goal or behind line and then bounced back into play or was touched — a completed score now alwa…
Further adjusted the default team lists to improve overall balance, with refinements to player ratings, squad depth and the spread of talent across stronger and weaker clubs. · Fixed low‑potential players generating with off‑role skills above their main skills, and lifted the weakest list spots so no player is worse than a late draftee. The default league regenerates on load to apply these (cus…
Player Career Interchange · In player career, your fatigued player now returns from the bench at any stoppage once rested, instead of waiting for a goal or behind. Draft Pools · Draft pool builder: you can now reorder players from highest potential to lowest. · Draft now presents players by draft pool order: the first‑listed player is the top prospect down to the last.

Fixed open‑play goals/behinds not being credited to the player when kicked with the kick button (as opposed to the shot on goal button). · Report overlay no longer pauses the match — report card improved which displays on screen as game continues. · Slightly increased the chance of "Sore but plays on" knocks occurring. · Fixed defenders doubling up on the same opponent, running to the goal line…
Fixed rushed behinds being credited for goals: a team putting it through their own goal is now a rushed behind (not a goal to the opposition), and a deliberate rush from a distance pays a free kick (Deliberate Rushed behind) at the top of the square. · Further Zone defense tactic improvements · New opening screen: sharper logo replacing the old blurry title
New No. 1 Draft Pick award — Added award in players card for being the Number 1 pick in the draft. · Zone tactic reworked — defenders stay accountable while the mids and forwards hold a proper spread zone (no more back line collapsing onto the goal line and leaving forwards wide open). · Fixed edited team names not showing correctly on banner.
