v0.80.2: Improved penalty system, jersey numbers, tons of fixes

Strikers Club · published 14 Jul 2026, 15:59 UTC · build 24202759

Reworked penalties, instead of free movement for the penalty taker, a run-up happens after charging and aiming your kick. This gives the goalie certainty about shot timing without giving away shot direction, resulting in a more realistic score %
Added the ability to customize your jersey number
Added intro logo sequence when booting the game
Added a toggle for the FPS display on the top right, added "FPS" suffix to avoid confusion about what the number means

During advantage, if no one touches the ball at all it's pulled back to a free kick/penalty instead of continuing play
Improved the goalie anticipate catch to be more consistent
Greatly improved the purchase flow for items in your appearance menu
Greatly improved bandwidth usage of the game (without sacrificing accuracy or speed)
All buttons in the UI have been reworked for consistent interactions
Several improvements to red cards, you can no longer get around it by swapping positions / rejoining

Fixed players being teleported out of the goal box colliding sometimes
Fixed ball still being "controlled" by the tackled player when they fall
Fixed suspension bounds disappearing after a free kick happened
Fixed corners getting marked as failed when a corner kick pulls the ball back
Fixed benched players accidentally being taken into account during offside checks
Fixed settings not saving correctly in some scenarios
Fixed a T-pose while performing a 180 dribble
Fixed color consistency and applications for several slots and items
Fixed sock sleeve combo being cut off incorrectly when combined with long pants
Fixed clipping of socks and joggings with slip-on shoes
Fixed long cosmetic names breaking purchase modal layouts
Fixed unlocks accidentally popping up multiple times
Fixed visibility of several item previews where other items could get in the way
Fixed some example videos in the tutorial not playing correctly
Fixed player title colors having an incorrect tint

These changes will be available with the Early Access release on July 17th
