A player showed how to steal another country's weekly trophy by switching nationality around the reset. That is closed. Chat groups your messages and dates the old ones, matches produce more fouls and shots, and the career bonus is finally paying.

Signature moves arrived in 2.2.3 with a promise they never kept: the numbers behind them never reached the match engine. They do now. Plus energy, form and gold stop going missing when two things land at the same moment.

Eleven signature moves you earn by doing them, one worn at a time, and every position has its own. Plus Coach Bim to walk a new player through the first five minutes, the scores you have already watched stop hiding, and the OVR table finally ranks you against the same players as power.

Matches can now be watched as they unfold instead of arriving finished, with the plays named and the ball hitting the net. Plus a long list of things that were quietly not working.

Every league match now pays gold and experience, scaled to your division, with chemistry moving on the result. Team trainings pay the club again, scouting shows its numbers, and the noticeboard returns with rules.

Everyone who works towards the weekly club objective is paid, not just whoever crossed the line — and the weeks you were owed are being settled. Results now stay sealed until you open the report.

This maintenance update improves reliability across web and mobile, so your matches, club and progress are ready when you return.

Long streaks now show the seven consecutive days that lead to today. Compare a shop item with what you wear before buying, and know whether your club reward is waiting in Inbox or already claimed.

Set substitutions by minute, stamina, or both; see them in finished matches. New long-term career milestones, official-match feats, and an honest Legacy Collection give every position a route to its reward.

A club leaving a cup can no longer stop its bracket. Club training is easier to plan around, first visits no longer fail, two silent notifications have a sender, and public team form no longer counts the same league match twice.

Notifications were switched off at the server since March — eighty-four thousand prepared and discarded. They are on, two of them had no sender at all, and browsers can receive them now. Plus a shop that stocks every level you have unlocked, and a win that had been overwritten as a goalless draw.

Six stats no item in the game carried can be raised again, gear you already own updated in place. Plus a FAQ that stops lying, buttons that had gone silent, crests that keep their shape, and team training you can actually join.

The shop's 100 items become 360, built to a proper curve from level 5 to 60 — and everything you owned has been refunded in full. Plus a catalogue that shows the required level of every item, sound across the whole game, trophy cabinets, and the club rebuilt onto a single screen.

Four things you spotted within hours of v2.1.2: blurry avatars, faces sitting crooked in the rankings, a next-step button that went nowhere, and daily reward cards naming the wrong days.

The home screen finally shows your next move, the buttons have names, the chat has a close button and an unread dot, and your club's kit turns up everywhere it should.

Two things went out with v2.1.0 that should not have: a white hairline around every shirt, and a weekly recap email that sent itself again on every restart.

A crest builder with thousands of combinations, nineteen shirt designs and long sleeves, 360 pieces of gear drawn by hand, and rewards that pay the moment you earn them. Plus every bug you reported this week.

Play Free used to hand you a registration form. Now it puts you on the pitch. Guests can turn their career into a real account again. The friendly button explains itself, and we ask before we email you.

Four people reported they could not find how to invite anyone to their club. They were right. The national ranking was opening on the wrong country for everyone. Both fixed — plus emotes in chat, cups that no longer run two thirds empty, and a survey.

Filler clubs were the same strength everywhere, so they walled off new clubs and handed free points to grown ones. Bench stand-ins outclassed the players they replaced. The scouting market's worst prospect already beat your whole squad. All three are now measured against the people they actually play with.

A bot's rating moved by forty points during a single day. Your player loaded in pieces. A big win was reported as 8-0. The chat opened halfway up. All fixed, and the app now starts with an animation instead of a frozen icon.

The club page said no matches had been played to clubs that had played all season. Power ignored every player in the squad. And your best skills covered their own names. All three are fixed.

Three chat rooms — everyone, your country, your club — a dark mode across the whole game, and a league match report that finally carries the same detail as a cup one: corners, fouls, offsides, tackles and interceptions, all measured.

Friendlies stopped counting for the club on the receiving end, and the records they already wrote were taken back. Plus a flag for every country instead of a country's name spilling out of its badge, the friendly you pick is the one you play, and clubs stop wearing each other's crest.

Your shirt number, your height and weight, your division and your place in it were all placeholders — now they are your real data. Plus real club crests in league tables, an inbox that tells the truth with a CLAIM ALL button, Custom Face fixed end to end, and bench players finally getting credit for the result.

You can finally buy Custom Face from the browser. Cup tables no longer show zero for the two clubs in your own match, your badges show on your profile again, your club motto appears where it should, and one hairstyle stops being drawn across its own eyebrows.

The first patch since launch, with everything that changed since 2.0.0: a club treasury statement that shows exactly where your gold goes, shop purchases working again past level 18, an Inventory tab inside the shop, tactics that save, kit colours you can pick, lineups drawn in their real shape, far fewer emails, and a stack of phone layout fixes.

A near-total rebuild of Striker Path: a 34-skill career with energy and injuries, a living club with 25-level facilities, weekly leagues and three cup formats, a scout market, real-time chat, Custom Face, a native iOS app and a whole new hand-drawn look. Here's everything that's new.
