Update 3.9 — new tutorial, XP is back and ranked unblocked

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Our first update after the official launch — almost everything here came from your feedback on Discord and in reviews. Thank you!

New players

  • Shorter tutorial: move, pass and shoot. Once that's done you choose: PLAY ONLINE NOW (drops you straight into a match, bots fill the empty slots) or keep going with advanced training.
  • Skip stage: stuck on a stage? After a few seconds a skip button appears (F1 on PC).
  • HOW TO PLAY: one page with every control — high and low shots, power pass, calling for the ball, slide tackle, camera, chat and voice — for those who'd rather read. It's on the tutorial welcome screen and under GUIDES in the menu.

XP and weekly drop

  • XP from training matches is being credited again. It had stopped counting, so nobody was progressing on the daily goal or earning the weekly drop. Joining a match in progress counts too.

Online training

  • Play without bots: from the in-match menu (ESC) the room can vote to remove the bots. With a majority of players in favor (and at least 4 in the room) they leave; if the room empties out, they come back on their own.
  • The room list now shows how many players and how many bots are in each room.
  • Bots no longer keep playing by themselves in empty rooms.
  • Fixed: a bot spawning on top of another player on the ready screen.
  • Fixed: from the second match on, the room waited the full 30 seconds even with everyone ready.

Ranked

  • Fixed: a found match was cancelled whenever someone in the queue couldn't receive the accept prompt. The queue closes matches again.
  • On mobile, the match-found prompt now always shows.

Chat and connection

  • Fixed: messages that "vanished" without being sent. The game now reconnects on its own and tells you if a message couldn't be sent.
  • Mobile: SEND button, visible typed text and private conversations all working.
  • Mobile players now show as online to their friends.

Mobile (Android and iOS)

  • Fixed: couldn't type the private room password.
  • Several menu layout fixes.

Servers

  • New server in North America.
