Achievements
The Trophies screen is now available (previously disabled). On this screen you can admire cups and medals you have won and see other stuff you achieved so far.
Note, that number of Steam achievements is pretty high: 225, but also note, that most of the achievements are quadruple (bronze, silver, gold and platinum). So for example winning Oceania Cup on the Legend difficulty level gives you 4 achievements (one per difficulty level). There are 70 unique achievements.
Party Mode On!
This is a perfect thing for parties with friends. Each friend controls one national team and you organize a cup for them, eg. World Cup, European Cup or Champions League. This is basic, but you can also do more crazy stuff, as there may be more than one human per team.
Custom Tournament can be started in one of the three formats:
- league (round-robin) with 4-16 teams,
- knock-out stage only with 4, 8 or 16 teams,
- group stage with knock-out stage with 12-32 teams.
You can specify number of human and AI teams participating and decide how well AI will play. Progress of the competition will be saved, so you can also make longer session or more parties!
AI gets circled
When you control a player, there is a color circle underneath him. When you play a local multi-player match, there are other circles of other players too. Pretty obvious thing! We decided to try something not so obvious, to give AI similar circles to:
- indicate AI level by color of the circle (white = beginner, black = legend, like in karate :)),
- let you forget that you're playing with an AI and pretend that it's more human-like.
Let us know if you like or don't like this feature, does it help or disturb you during play.
New Match Challenges
New challenges will appear in tournament matches:
- Knock-down 25 opponents in a single match.
- Score a goal from a super-shot launched from your own penalty area.
- Score a goal without losing the ball (starting with your goalkeeper or from a kick-off).
Each one is also an achievement too (actually each challenge gives 4 achievements, one per difficulty level).
Other changes
- AI goalkeepers are now easier to beat on the Beginner and Amateur difficulty levels.
- AI teams adjusts its level when losing or winning (plays better or worse).
- Added ability to perform super-shots with your goalkeeper.
- Changed Northern's Ireland flag (thanks MonkeyJug)
- Improved AI passing and shooting. Previously AI didn't use ground passes in many cases (e.g. goal kick), now it should.

- [OS X] Allowing to close the game with CMD+Q (thanks kusmierek).
- Slightly improved game's startup time.

- Fixed AI not shooting in 100% situations (thanks kusmierek).
- Fixed big hairs and face elements during a match.
- Fixed players celebrating own goals.
- Fixed extended slow motion during a match.
- Fixed duplicate audio on startup.
- Other minor fixed and improvements (like always).
New features also mean new bugs, so please report anything on Kopanito's forum, so we can fix them.
Have fun!
