We've added this new, fulfilling a request from several users who have been asking for it! :)

• Tutorial Match
  We've made several improvements to the tutorial match in the "How to Play" section, hoping to assist newcomers in taking their first steps in the game!
  
• Penalties
  We've made a minor improvement to the penalty kick system. Now, the player won't fall without kicking the ball when the timing is incorrect... they may still fall if the timing isn't good, but they'll still kick the ball!

We've fixed 2 bugs that were recently reported:

• During a penalty kick, sometimes the goalkeeper would remain waiting for the ball after it was kicked. Although this happened very sporadically, it was quite annoying to have to exit the game to fix it, as abandoning the match would result in a loss.
  
• In a recent update, an error was introduced that prevented the change of selected player using the right analog stick.

We've added a button in the main menu with information on how to contact us, so everyone can follow us on social media or join our Discord! :)

Thank! :)

Without a doubt, the most requested feature is now a reality!
Thank you to everyone who supported us by testing the beta and sending us feedback :)

Now you can enjoy friendly matches online, offering two different ways to interact with other players:
1) Matchmaking: Search and play against any available player looking for a game.
2) Friend Invites: Directly challenge a friend on Steam to a match.

In the main menu, select the 'Casual Online' option. This screen presents several options:

• Find Opponent: This option matches you with another player looking for a game, facilitating an online match.
  
• Invite Friend: Use this to invite a friend from your Steam friends list to play. Once you select a friend and send the invitation, they can join the game by accepting it.
  
• Team Selection: Before starting a match search, choose your team here.
  
• Sides and Controller Settings: These familiar options allow you to specify which side of the court you'll play on and adjust your control settings and preferences.

We want to reward everyone who helps us grow our player base by seeking matches online, and to that end, we've created the World Champions Cup as a way of thanking you!
A very special trophy, contested by national teams from countries that have been world champions. Representing each country will be the latest team to achieve this feat, with their original lineup.
In addition, for this tournament, we've also created a new stadium and a variant of the Global Cup... and of course, a new achievement for those who manage to win it!
We hope you like the idea as much as we do :)

- We've rebalanced the teams in the D league of Career Mode to make it more accessible.
- We've also adjusted "Test Team" to reduce its aggressiveness in marking.
- Finally, we have fixed small bugs and minor details.


In this new stage, we need everyone's contribution to increase the user base and enhance matchmaking possibilities... It`s time to challenge your friends!

Thank you for joining us on this journey! We hope you enjoy this new adventure as much as we enjoyed creating it :)

Finally, today we are launching the game!!!
Thanks to all those who provided feedback during the early access stage. Thanks to your contributions, the game has improved and is now ready to be released :)
And it's free for everyone!

Casual Matches
- We have separated casual matches, creating an area for them. Here you can invite your friends to play friendly matches, being able to configure the conditions of each match to your liking.
- And most importantly, for these matches each player can choose their preferred team, whether it be a national team or a club, you will have available the formation and potential of the chosen club!
- But also, now for every new friend you play a friendly match with, you will earn 1000 gold coins to use in the store! Get a unique ball, an original stadium, or whatever you like!

Ranked Matches
This is where you shine with your team and where the real competition lies, and we have made several improvements.
- Matchmaking for ranked matches is now prioritized to find opponents at your own level, and if none are found, it expands that range until an opponent is found. We have now added the option to only limit the search to opponents within your range, if you prefer not to play and wait, to play with someone outside your range.
- We have created a leaderboard that highlights those in the top positions and informs you of your position.
- We have added more information to the end-of-match summary, so you can also see the coins earned and the evolution of your MMR, which will determine the league you should play in.
- We have improved the end-of-match screen for ranked matches so you can see not only the XP earned in that match, but also
- We have adjusted the balance of the ranked leagues to make the matches more competitive.
- And for all those who play a ranked match during this first week of launch, you will earn 1000 gold coins to customize your team in the store to your liking!

Also!
- We have improved the information at the start and end of the match, to give more clarity to the fact that there are 2 simultaneous matches and highlighting the results on both teams.
- We have increased the frequency with which you receive information from the remote match.
- At the end of a half, when you have to wait for the remote match to finish, you can now know which minute of the game is being played.
- Finally, we have fixed small bugs and minor details.


In this new stage, we need everyone's contribution to increase the user base and enhance matchmaking possibilities... As a reward, there are tons of gold coins waiting for you! :)

Thank you for joining us on this journey! We hope you enjoy this new adventure as much as we enjoyed creating it... and now its time to challenge your friends or dive into ranked competitions!
