Footium Weekly Update
Development Updates
Version 0.1.5 of Footium has been released:
Cosmetics:
-Made the attacking, midfield, and defensive ratings on the Tactics page unrelated to condition
-Ensured there are an equal number of items on each row in the Transfer Market and Clubs pages
-Updated to display only a player's best position in lineup
-Tweaked the tactics position colours
-Improved the RON transfer token UX so you can search by club name
Bug fixes:
-Fixed issue where transferring captains caused the Tactics page to crash
-Fixed Rarible trading by increasing the suggested RON token approval
-Fixed issue with some goalkeepers not appearing as goalkeepers in the live match tactics
-Made sure player condition is consistent across all pages
-Fixed 5-4-1-D wing backs having an effect on the midfield rating
-Fixed performance issue which caused in-game tactical changes to be delayed (released as a hotfix on top of 0.1.4)
Improvements:
-Added backward compatibility of matches, so changes to the game engine won’t effect the result of matches that have already been played
-Increased the effect of playing style on condition
-Increased the effect of condition on player ratings
-Decreased the amount that goalkeepers’ condition drops during a game
The goal with 0.1.6 is to fix issues around condition decreasing non-linearly, fixing the 40% condition long recovery wait and changing the clocks to be in real-time, not in in-game time. Beyond that, the development team's main focus continues to be implementing the new game UI and working on the enhanced match engine (0.2.0).
