Game Update Unleashes Enhanced Defense and Crossplay Ambitions

The new update for the football game brings several improvements that focus on refining gameplay mechanics and ensuring a fairer defensive experience. This latest update specifically addresses several long-standing issues, making in-game actions feel more rewarding and skill-based.

Developed by the team behind Sifu, the second major update for the game aims to enhance the tackling system by resolving problems associated with the underlying netcode. As a result, defending will now rely less on chance and more on strategic timing. The changes will also improve the game’s handling of powerful shots, ensuring that players cannot easily avoid a well-timed contest for the ball.

The update will additionally strengthen the performance of goalkeepers. With adjustments made to save detection, the game will more accurately recognize when a save or deflection is successful. Artisans of precise gameplay will find that their defensive maneuvers now receive the feedback they deserve.

Players seeking to complete achievements will also see benefits from these changes. Previously, some achievement conditions were not triggering as intended, but this issue has been resolved. For instance, those pursuing a particular playmaking award will now have the opportunity to fulfill its requirements with one more assist made while in the goalkeeper role.

The update also brings positive news for fans waiting for crossplay functionality. The developers have reported that the work on crossplay integration is progressing well, with expectations that full crossplay support could "be introduced by the close of August".

• Improved tackling mechanics and refined netcode for better defensive play.
• Enhanced detection for successful goalkeeper saves and deflections.
• Fixed issues ensuring all achievements register correctly with improved conditions.
• Positive progress on crossplay capabilities expected by late August.
