Nouveautés (v26.04)
This update is all about feel, flow, and smarter footy.
• Rebuilt goal kicking
Goal kicking now rewards your timing properly. Stop the meter in the green and it’s a goal. Mistimed kicks now miss in a way that makes sense: early releases drift left, overcooked kicks sail right, and star kickers get a bigger sweet spot.
• More reliable passing
Aim at a teammate and the ball now goes where you expect. Player skill affects how cleanly the ball arrives, making elite ball-users more valuable.
• Sharper sprint bursts
Sprint now gives players a real getaway burst, complete with speed trails. Defenders can explode into chase mode too.
• Bigger tackles
Tackles now feel heavier and more responsive, with improved ball spills, impact sounds, haptics, hit-stop, and stronger collision feel. Slippery stars can still break the odd tackle.
• Smarter tactics
All five tactics now have a clearer identity:
Boundary drags play wide and goes long down the line.
Fast Break surges forward after turnovers.
Attacking pushes through the corridor with numbers ahead.
Defensive floods back and protects dangerous space.
Balanced holds shape and picks the right moments.
• Better AI ball use
Players now read the field before disposing of the ball, choosing corridor options, wing exits, leading targets, or long contests depending on what opens up.
• Adaptive CPU coaching
Opposition teams now adjust tactics during matches based on the scoreboard, clock, momentum, weather, and team strengths.
• Career and season improvements
Sponsor deals now stick and pay out correctly.
Low-rated players are priced more fairly on the transfer market.
Players can now be renamed.
Recent form now appears on match previews.
Club news has been improved for finals, premiers, and trade-period stories.
The off-season is smoother, with contracts, signings, sponsors, and list needs easier to manage.
• Ladder fixes
Fixed ladder re-sorting during finals.
Fixed season-stats ladder refresh issues between rounds.
• More gameplay polish
Goal kicking is now better calibrated to the real goal width.
Goals are now more consistent at both ends of the ground.
Free kicks no longer boot the ball from a downed player.
Tactical pop-ups and juice banners now only appear during live play.
Grapples, speccies, and close contests now feel tighter and more cinematic.
Torpedo kicks now launch quicker, bigger bombs.
New and refreshed trait moments have been added, including Playmaker, Crumber, Torpedo Kick, and Sharpshooter.
Jump in and feel the difference.
