We’ve made a small but important adjustment to how the Determined personality bonus works during matches. This change ensures that Determined players receive their intended bonus when entering the game at halftime under the right conditions.

Old behavior
Determined players who entered the match at halftime did not receive the Determined bonus, even when the team effort was 150% or higher. This happened because the Determined personality feature was introduced after the final version of the Halftime directions was launched, so the bonus wasn’t applied in that specific scenario.

New behavior
The Determined bonus is now applied when a Determined player enters the match at halftime, provided that:

• The team effort is 150% or higher, and

• There are no more than 2 Determined players on the field.

Good luck on the pitch, and keep leading your team to victory!

Hello managers,

Thanks to your reports and feedback, we’ve implemented the following fixes and adjustments:

• Talent review and adjustments
The effects and mechanics of talent triggering were reviewed, including the Prolific Scorer talent, with the goal of achieving better balancing. Please note that some talents may not always appear in the live ticker, but they can still impact match calculations and the general triggering aspect of talents during matches.
Everything about talents

• Form limit unlock from “Vitality” Residential Centers
Fixed an issue where the special reward form unlock from the "Vitality" training program (Residential Centers) was rewarding certain types of players too often.

• Motivational speaker disappearing when filtering heatmaps (visual)
The motivational speaker effect icon was disappearing when using the match filter in the heatmaps.

• Substitute player not shown after injury substitution (visual)
A substitute player was not displayed on the field after replacing an injured player during a match.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback!

Hello managers,

We’re thrilled to introduce a new update designed to make match analysis clearer and more insightful:

Enhanced Match Report Heatmaps (Field Statistics)

The match report now features a filter that allows you to view heatmaps and player ratings for the first half time or the full match. You can also see both the starting lineup and the ending lineup, making it easier to identify tactical adjustments made at halftime and evaluate player performance across each half.

Heatmaps for both 45 minutes and total full match are now generated by taking into account even more aspects of all the activity in the match.

Several other improvements made in this update also could have impact on the absolute strength ratings that players receive in both half time. This is due to various situations of each match and the dynamic behavior of each player compared to the opponent players.

Split Match Report Statistics (Game Statistics)

You can now filter statistics by half or full time on each of the 3 pages of the match report. This improvement provides a clearer comparison between both teams in terms of match statistics, match settings, and overall team performance.

Bear in mind that filtering between 45 minutes and total for heatmap or statistics means that you are either viewing 1st half time OR 1st halftime + 2nd halftime under “Total” filter.

Note: Due to the current technical reasons and limitations, additional filters are available only for official matches (League, Cup and International Masters), Friendly and Practice matches.

Important: The new match report filters are available only for matches played from now on!

We hope these additions help you analyze your matches more effectively.

Good luck in your upcoming matches!

Hello managers,

As the game has continued to evolve over the past few years, we regularly review core game items to ensure they remain balanced and meaningful for long-term progression

Based on this ongoing evaluation, we have updated the minimum strength values for several Youth Scout Cards.

The minimum strength for the following youth cards has been adjusted:

• Youth scout card (common): old 1.0 → new 1.6

• Youth scout card (rare): old 1.4 → new 2.0

• Youth scout card (ultra-rare): old 1.8 → new 2.4

• Top Youth card (special): old 3.0 → new 3.6

This adjustment has been implemented to align with the overall progression and development of players.

Thank you for your continued feedback and dedication, and we wish you great success in developing the next generation of talents.

Update [23.02.2026]

Played Matches Counter in Squad Overview

The played matches counter was not updating correctly for players who entered the match in the second half. This was a visual issue only and has now been fixed.

Star Player Upgrade Effect

In some cases, the already selected Star Player was changing at halftime. We have refactored the Star Player logic and related live match effects to ensure consistent behavior.
