Patch Notes - Version 1.01.05

GOALS · published 23 Jul 2026, 12:01 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Movement

  • Reworked close dribbling touch cadence logic based on the angle of the previous touch, increasing responsiveness on directional changes after straight touches, while limiting how quickly consecutive touches at an angle can be taken based on the close dribbling stat.

  • Improved overall skill move input responsiveness and polished visual phantom touch control helpers.

  • Adjusted auto-tackle mechanics so player speed no longer restricts your tackle reach or recovery time.

  • Lowered the effect of shoulder barges and physical tackles on players dribbling at high speed, while increasing the effect on players dribbling at low speed

Goalkeeper

  • Improved accuracy of collision checks for some saves.

  • Reduced goalkeepers' effectiveness against chip shots.

Shooting

  • Increased power shot accuracy and reduced shot dispersion from medium-to-long range (16–30 meters).

Tactics & AI

  • Added new tactical formations (including 4-3-3 Build-Up and 4-2-3-1 Wide) along with a new Center Forward (CF) position option.

  • Added custom attacking positioning settings directly inside tactical game plans.

  • Expanded custom game plans to fully support specialized player mentalities and roles.

  • Improved defensive line positioning stability and tracking of off-the-ball attacker runs.

  • Fixed an issue where movement lock-ons would fail to reset properly after physical tackles.

Animation

  • Fixed a visual issue where goalkeepers' wrists would bend or warp unnaturally during catch animations.

UI & Menus

  • Polished several tactical formation menus to correct sorting orders and updated squad diagrams.

  • Added a warning alert to protect player menus and prevent display issues when holding a very high number of player card fragments.

  • Updated and polished several game localization files across multiple languages.

Connectivity

  • Improved network packet delivery and connection stability by optimizing automatic MTU discovery.

Stability

  • Fixed a startup crash affecting players running the game on Windows ARM emulation setups.

  • Optimized background AI pathfinding and playbook logic to resolve minor in-match performance stutters.

Challenges

  • New Fixed Challenges: Added Rookie, Contender, and Champion challenges to offer better progression milestones and high-tier rewards.

  • New & Boosted Repeatables: Additional objectives, massively increased XP payouts (2x–5x) and improved pack rewards for Daily and Weekly challenges.

  • Tournament Updates: Since the 20th of July there are 2 new Tournaments: New Champions Cup and New Masters Cup featuring Potential Packs rewards that will be refreshed every Monday.
