Two big features for the Leagues Editor

On this week we didn't update the Beta because there were quite hard features to develop.

But I want to tell you a bit about these features. I'm sure that players who love developing and editing the leagues will be glad to hear what we are working on.



We want players to be able to edit the number of teams in every league. The minimum number of the teams will be 8 (10 for Premier league). The maximum number - 20.

Now, it will be possible to create more realistic championships. Also, there will be a space for experimentation with league formats.

However, the general rules of the tournaments will stay untouched. I.e. no matter how many there are teams in the leagues, the teams will continue to participate in the Prestige, National and continental cups.



Many players asked us about that. And finally, we have decided to do it.

The main complexity is in taking to account all the forms different languages can use the tournament names in. So we remake all the texts, search for tournaments names, and create special editing sheets for every language. It will be very easy for English, but significantly harder for German or Russian, for example.

But when we finish this features, you will be able to rename every tournament. I'm sure it will make the playing experience much more realistic.

Btw, when testing this feature we used some weird names for the tournaments just to be sure that everything works as expected even in the weirdest cases. It was very funny to see how these names in the game. Just look at the screenshot:



We really hope to release them into the Beta in around 2-3 weeks. Despite they are partially working in the internal builds, we don't want to release them not finished.

Beta Update 2

We continue working on the Autumn update. Its main goal is to make our modifications support significantly better. It is very powerful even now. But new features and usability improvements will give you much more possibilities.

You can see what's already done by changing the branch to Beta. We are updating the branch once per 2 weeks.

Today we have launched the new Beta update.

TL;DR:
- now, you can copy/paste the whole teams;
- now, you can generate the teams with a set power;
- in the single-player campaign, we added the descriptions of what happens when the ball is spinning.

LEAGUES EDITOR

• Added the possibility to copy/paste the whole teams. Now, you can copy a team from some modification, and paste it to another modification.
  
• Now, you can see the power of the teams in the League Editor.
  
• Now, you can see the power of the teams in the Team Editor.
  
• Added a new tab where you can generate the team of set power. IMPORTANT! The changed power can be experienced only in the Sandbox mode.
  
• When you are editing any characteristics, you can press TAB to jump to the next characteristics. It allows for significantly faster editing.
  
• The first click on any characteristics selects the text of this characteristics. Therefore, the following typing of any character clears the previous text. It allows you to edit the characteristics faster. Because earlier, you had to delete the old data first, and only then - add a new data.

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS

• When FTG makes any calculations players see a spinning ball. We added the textual explanations of what happens at these moments. So now, you will know what the game is doing.
  
• In the slot of the last played campaign we added an Info button.

BUGS

• Fixed the font problem in with some characters in the Romanian names.
  
• Aggressive tackle didn't increase the Tackles counter. Fixed.
  
• In a very rare situation, when a footballer scores a header after intercepting the opponent's lofted pass, the game counts it as a Header. It used to be just a goal.
  
• Fixed the crash which happened after editing the birth date in the already published modification.
