🎮 Online Gameplay
- Online match synchronization has been extensively reworked so that players, the ball, goalkeepers and set pieces all stay updated in the same sequence.
- Reduced cases where the ball looked delayed, snapped back to a previous position, or left from a different spot than the one shown on your screen.
- Improved consistency on fast plays, so every player sees the same sequence of actions on the pitch.
- Sharp movements, direction changes and slide tackle transitions are now more stable, both for the local player and for everyone else.

⚽ Ball and Possession
- The ball's current position on the server is now respected during shots, passes, challenges and possession changes.
- Fixed an issue where, after several quick inputs, the ball could come out from behind the player or from a visually outdated position.
- The range to control or hit a loose ball has been reduced by 30%, making challenges and first-time finishes more precise.
- The ball and its visual indicator stay more stable while dribbling, without inconsistent visual corrections.

🎯 Shooting and Passing
- Shots and passes are now processed more consistently, including in fast sequences using the left and right mouse buttons.
- The power charged on the shot bar is correctly preserved until the action is executed.
- Fixed duplicated shots and power variations caused by client-server communication time.
- Shots with or without possession now use the ball's real position at the moment of the action.

🏃 Slide Tackles and Challenges
- A slide tackle now correctly counts as a touch on the ball and can set the last player and team involved in the play.
- Fixed an issue where an opponent's residual collision could erase the touch made by the slide tackle.
- Legitimate contacts after the slide tackle are still recognized normally.
- Improved synchronization of the start, path, contact and end of the slide tackle across all players.

🚩 Set Pieces and Restarts
- Throw-ins, corner kicks, goal kicks, offsides, restarts after a goal and balls going out of play now follow a single, synchronized order on the server.
- Fixed situations where the wrong player or goalkeeper could take a set piece.
- The ball and the players now receive the final state of the set piece at the same time, reducing teleports and out-of-order transitions.
- Improved match stability when starting, completing or cancelling a set piece.
