Early Access 5 - Star Player Career!

TIEBREAK: Official game of the ATP and WTA - Nacon

Welcome back Tiebreak fans for another Steam Early Access update – five is alive!

We have to say we are really pleased with the response and feedback we received for TIEBREAK Early Access 4, it was great to see the positive feedback regarding the progress made in several areas of the game.

While we love the positive feedback, we also note and address the negative feedback as it is just as important to making a better game, and we know that the majority of you were not happy with the addition of the adrenaline system. After public discussion and consultation on the TIEBREAK forums and Steam, we have decided to remove it from the game for this Early Access 5. It is our hope with this update that you will see that we have continued taking on and working with your feedback to push the game to its limits. You rest assured that we will continue to work on and improve with each update as we approach final release.

Early Access 5 heralds the introduction of Star Player Career (One Season, for feedback) and a Movement and Groundstroke revamp, plus eight additional ATP / WTA players;

Sofia Kenin
Jessica Pegula
Aryna Sabalenka
Caroline Wozniacki
Kei Nishikori
Holger Rune
Cameron Norrie
Andrey Rublev

While we have your attention here, we’d like to shout out to the many new fans that have joined us on the forums to give feedback, we’re so pleased to have you all onboard - please keep that feedback coming!

The final release of TIEBREAK (on August 22nd, 2024) will include the ability to play a career with custom players, in addition to Star Player Career Mode. In the meantime, TIEBREAK Early Access releases will introduce even more new players, WTA finals, press conferences for Star Player Career Mode and gameplay improvements (of course!).

We would like to remind those that have not purchased TIEBREAK Early Access that the final price will be €49.99, and in line with that, there will be a price increase to €39.99 on 10 June 2024.

Lastly, there has been a lot of feedback on the smaller details such as line judges, ball kids, and a challenge system, these will certainly be included in future updates, but for now our focus is the core gameplay and implementing change based on the TIEBREAK experience you have shared with us.

Thank you! We’ll see you on the court!

Men of War II - Update Live + Helpful Tips

Men of War II - FQ_MichalC

Greetings, Commanders!

We have fixed the game-crashing issues which caused us to delay the update previously announced for this Wednesday, and it is now live for everyone! The delay allowed us to slightly expand the patch; full changelog, with the new additions listed on top, can be found at the end of this article.

Where to find help

Men of War II is a large game, and includes many different options, modes and units. It can be intimidating for a newcomer, and even seasoned veterans of the franchise can lose out on some of the fun features simply because they don't know about them - this is especially true of the Realism Setting, which is why we have written up an in-depth explanation of how it makes the game different and how to activate it here, in the Steam Discussions. We are also working on a way to expand this variability of Realism vs. Competitive settings, and making them more accessible, as we have hinted at in our development roadmap announcement.

In terms of getting to grips with the game itself, we strongly recommend going through the in-game tutorials, which can be found in the "LEARN" tab. These are 12 short thematic missions, each explaining a part of the game's mechanics, from the very basics to more advanced and unique for Men of War II, like the "Reconaissance" or "Counter-Battery Fire" tutorials.

We have also enlisted the assistance of Helping Hans, who prepared a series of official guide videos, which show both what kind of content you can find in the game, and provide insights into how to utilize various game mechanics to your advantage on the battlefield:

General Introduction provides a brief overview of the fundamental elements of the game, such as basic controls, types of units, combat interface, available game modes and more.
Game Modes video guide provides a deep dive into the different game modes you can enjoy in Men of War II.
Campaigns, Conquest and Raid Modes describes all single-player campaigns available in the game, and explores the dynamic Conquest and Raid modes thoroughly, as new features for the franchise.
Game Mechanics takes a closer look at some of the game's cool features such as direct control, inventory management, ammunition/fuel resupply and last but definitely not least, the stealth mechanics.
Fortifications video shows you how to build different types of defensive structures, dig trenches, lay landmines, and much more.

We are also pleased to say that there is an amazingly friendly and helpful community forming around the game, and you can find various other guides, tips and tricks by fellow Commanders posted on the Men of War II Official Discord Server, which is also the best place to get any questions answered directly by members of both Best Way and Fulqrum Publishing teams.

We will soon bring you more information about upcoming updates, but if you are already enjoying the game and want to support the development team, consider writing a review here on Steam - it really makes a difference.

And as always, we will see you on the battlefield soon, Commanders!
