Hello!
First of all, I want to share that I am incredibly happy with the release of Arcade World Cups. It's only been a few days since launch, but it has been deeply rewarding—not just for the sales, but for all the feedback I’ve received.
This is my first published game, I am a self-taught developer, and seeing such positive impressions across different platforms fills me with satisfaction. I truly appreciate every single message.
The purpose of this announcement isn't just to say thank you, but also to accompany the beta phase launch of the League Mode. Right when we all have our minds completely on the World Cup 😆.
The plan is to officially launch it in August, but since I haven't run into any issues during testing, I thought it would be a great idea to let you enjoy it right away and let me know if you find any bugs. You’ll be able to play the Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, and Argentine leagues.
For the European leagues, the schedule matches the season that just ended, but as soon as the new fixtures are drawn, they will be updated to reflect the 26/27 season. In the case of the Argentine League, it features the current Torneo Clausura schedule, since it’s already known.
I also felt it was necessary to improve some AI defensive behaviors and match simulations to make them more balanced.
On another note, I noticed there were some controller compatibility issues, something I hadn't experienced at all during development. That has now been fixed, and I hope to see Steam officially displaying full controller support very soon.
I hope you enjoy this new mode, and please let me know if you have any issues or suggestions.
Thank you very much!
