v0.7.7 First tactics and match feedback

26. May 2026

Now you have more influence over the matches with the first tactics and match feedback. You can set the play style to defensive, balanced or offensive. The play style defines how often players shoot on goal and their field positions. The tackle intensity can also be instructed now with moderate, balanced and aggressive. This can be useful if you really need to win and want to get control of the ball, even with fouls.

Players have now also a match morale, that affects their performance. Happy players shoot more goals and defend better than angry ones. This is influenced by the current result, but also by your feedback. Now the manager can tell the players positive, neutral and negative feedback. Depending on the state and importance of the match, players react accordingly.

This two features improve the match immersion and make them more interesting. You no longer can blame only your players for loosing ;-)
