• Update 4.0 — ranked now starts with 6 players - 21 September 2026

  The biggest complaint since launch was ranked never starting. That's fixed: matches now close with however many people are actually in the queue. Flexible ranked — the headline The queue closes 5v5 when there are 10 players. If there aren't, it shrinks on its own: 4v4 after 1 minute of waiting and 3v3 after 2 minutes. Nobody sits in the queue with no match any more. There is a single queue. You don't pick a format and you don't get split across three empty queues — the game takes the largest format possible right then. Smaller matches are worth less MMR: 4v4 gives 75% and 3v3 gives 50% of normal. 5v5 remains the main mode. A party larger than the team only enters a format it fits (a party of 5 plays 5v5). Already live on the South America, Europe and North America servers. Moderation Block player: every player profile now has BLOCK next to REPORT. Blocking cuts chat in both directions i…

• Update 3.9 — new tutorial, XP is back and ranked unblocked - 19 September 2026

  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…

LAUNCH EVENT — TODAY, 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT (00:00 UTC · 1 AM UK · 2 AM CEST) • Log in during the first hour (8–9 PM ET / 5–6 PM PT) and get free coins to spend in the store (hair, boots and looks). • It's the best time to queue RANKED 5v5 with full lobbies — grab your squad and hit the queue. • Coins are credited after the event to everyone who was online during the window.

• v3.8 - 11 September 2026

  ONLINE GOALKEEPER • Goalkeeper sync rebuilt server-side: positioning, saves, rushes and restarts now follow a single simulation order, with ball possession stated explicitly in every update. • Fewer "teleports" and fewer balls passing through the keeper on saves, catches, punts and goal kicks. • A ball held by the keeper or by a player no longer flickers between two states when the connection stutters. INDIVIDUAL TRAINING (TUTORIAL) • Mouse instructions rewritten: pass = aim and right-click; shot = hold left, aim, release; directed pass = with possession, hold left to lock direction, aim, then right-click. • The directed-pass stage now only completes with a pass made while in possession with the direction locked, not with any charged pass. • The "Individual Training" task is marked when you finish the training, not when you enter it. MENU • First-session guided tour: walks through game…

• v3.5 - 30 July 2026

  🎮 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%,…

• v3.4 - 12 July 2026

  🤖 Bots in Training Rooms• No more empty training rooms: bots now fill up both teams — and the moment a real player joins, a bot steps aside.• They actually play: marking, pressing, one-twos, crosses and shots — each with their own name, hair, boots and height. Look for "Bot" before the name to tell who's who.• Creating a private room? Your call: fill it with bots, or keep it just you and your friends.⭐ XP & Weekly Drop• Every match now earns XP — training, team and ranked. Goals, assists and wins are worth extra.• Hit your daily XP goal? You get a free item drop — right on the post-match screen, with the XP bar filling up and the item revealed on the spot. Max 1 drop per week, so hit that goal and claim yours.• Items now have rarity: Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary. The rarer it is, the lower the drop chance — and you can spot rarity by the colored border in the shop.• Duplicate items…

• v3.3 - 9 June 2026

  🏆 Ranked Queue • Newcomers play with newcomers: if you still have only a few matches under your belt, the queue now pairs you with — and against — players at your level. No more getting thrown in against veterans right away. • More even teams: the game now spreads experienced and new players across both sides, ending the old "5 pros vs 5 rookies". • If there's nobody at your level right now, the queue waits a moment before widening the search — so you're not stuck waiting, but matches stay fair.⏱️ Training Rooms • New 30-second countdown on the "Ready" screen. If someone forgets to hit Ready, the match starts on its own when the timer runs out — no more being stuck waiting on others.🎨 Customization • The camera once again zooms in and rotates your player as you switch between hair, skin, boots, height and number — so you can check every detail up close. • Your name no longer overlaps…

• v3.2 - 8 June 2026

  🏆 Ranked Queue• More stable: you'll no longer be left out of a match you accepted.• When someone declines, the queue now replaces only that player and keeps everyone who accepted — fewer repeated prompts and a faster queue.• Fixed a rare case where the game tried to connect you to a match that had already ended.📊 How you score• Scoring now rewards all-around play: tackles, successful slide tackles and ball possession help you climb — not just goals and assists.• Carried your team even in a loss? You now lose FEWER points (it used to be the opposite).• Win streaks reward you more and more; losing streaks cost you more and more.• Placement matches now matter more: wins reward more and losses weigh more.🎯 Placement• The progress bar now shows how many matches are left until you get ranked.• When placement ends, the game reveals which rank you earned.🛒 Shop• New "Buy GC" button to grab…

• v3.1 - 7 June 2026

  🎮 NEW: Offline Friendly (5v5 vs bots) • New mode in Individual Training: take on a team of bots in 5v5, with two randomly drawn nations and players with random names and numbers. • The bots actually play: they hold their shape, press and slide-tackle, exchange passes, cross and finish — with Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty. • A full match like online: two 5-minute halves, half-time with stats (possession, shots, corners), sides swap and a full-time screen. • Every restart: throw-in, corner (with a barrier pushing opponents back and a cross into the box), goal kick taken by the keeper, and offside — with the linesman's flag. • Tackle opponents with right-click, ask the keeper for the ball, hear the match sounds (kick, slide, whistle, goal roar) and see the crowd in the stands in your team's colors.🏆 Ranked • You can now join and follow the ranked queue from inside any offline mode (fr…
