Patch Information
1.202.000
Patch 7 Beta: December 5th, 2025
Release Date: December 17th, 2025
Hi everyone!
This update brings major changes to player movement, and a new dribbling option in the form the Dribble Push Ball, with a short and a long variation.
Additionally, we have tweaked the Battle Pass progression. XP needed per token has been reduced from 1750 to 800, and we have adjusted the tier costs accordingly. This should make unlocking rewards from the Battle Pass easier, and not as time-consuming. We are still working on more systems (such as "daily missions") to make BP progression more engaging. We hope to share more news on that front soon.
Patch 7 also brings updates to the Player Profile: clearer stats and the ability to showcase your Player Card during goal celebrations.
And with the holidays approaching… stay tuned for an in-game unboxing moment!
Matches / Core Gameplay Improvements
Gameplay Changes / Fixes
Deviation angle when the ball hits a player has been increased from 10 degrees to 20 and now always goes upwards.
Dribbles are slightly faster and cover more distance.
Added new goalkeeper volley tap animations.
Performing a Push Ball during Dribble now results in a new variation of the ability coming with new animations : Dribble Push Ball This version pushes the ball further, turns faster and allows fluid transitions to movement.
Movement has been made much more responsive overall, allowing faster redirections after dive and tackle abilities, and smoother turns when jogging or sprinting.
Dashing on a ball now takes the ball in the dash movement and no longer stops the player with a ball control animation. This aims at integrating dashes in the dribbling kit.
Extra effort push force is reduced by 50% when performing a turn on a free ball. This change affects the golden boost: speed and distance of execution have been lowered, but the tech is easier to execute.
Changed match duration: For Ranked and Quickmatch, 5v5 and 4v4 set to 5min and 3v3 set to 4min.
Improved hindering network.
During recovery, it is now possible to hit a free ball (players no longer go though the ball during this timing).
New Goalkeeper lob taps, push ball, and lob push ball animations.
Improved contact with the ball when catching a ball as a goalkeeper.
The transition between the stop animation and the idle animation is now smoother.

Fixed an issue where an interception was awarded to the tackled player instead of the tackling player.
