Cup Run overhaul, slightly Smarter bots (kinda), three new celebrations and some bug fixes.
Bots
- Teammate bots stop stealing your ball. If you're on the ball, your bots back off, give you room and show for a pass instead of running into you.
- Bots passes to you are more accurate.
- Strikers press high when the other team has it at the back, instead of dropping to halfway.
- Better marking. Defending bots now pick up free runners near goal instead of leaving them unmarked.
Goalkeepers
- Bot keepers now play the ball properly when it's at their feet. No more dribbling around their own box.
- Bot keepers stand closer to their line when an attacker is in range, so they get chipped far less.
- In the Headers skill game, the keeper no longer walks back into his own net.
Cup Run
- NEW: Player Starting Builds. Build your own player before a run. Trade stats around to make the player you want, pick from presets, and save up to 3 builds.
- New stats: First Touch, Durability, and Distribution.
- NEW: Player traits. Some bots come with a trait: Big Game Player, Clinical, Engine, Quick Learner or Hothead. Hover a card to see what it does.
- NEW: Boots. Win matches to earn boots that boost your stats. Equip them fromthe team management page.
- NEW: Game Plan. Set how your bots play: pressing, tempo and width.
- NEW: Transfer Market. Buy players from the shop, or sell a player for coins.
- Player cards now enlarge when you hover them, so stats are easier to read.
New celebrations
- Knuckle Up
- To The Sky, unlocked by getting 100 assists
- 67
Bug fixes
- Fixed opponents getting the assist on your goals. Assists now go to the teammate who actually passed to you.
- Shots are now counted properly. First-time shots, volleys, headers and rebounds all count.
