Update Notes 0.69

by Elena Misko

Dear UFL Players,

A scheduled maintenance update will take place on December 4 from 07:00 to 10:00 UTC. The server will be unavailable during this period, and matches will be inaccessible starting from 06:40 UTC.
Please note that while the expected server reactivation time is 10:00 UTC, minor delays may occur. If the game is not accessible immediately, rest assured it will be available shortly.

    • Chip Shot Accuracy.

  • New functional Skill – Tracker (Increases speed and agility of Jockey).

  • Adjusted goalkeeper reactions to long-range finesse shots and reduced the frequency of hitting the woodwork.

  • Rebalanced Jockey: increased agility and slightly reduced movement speed. 

  • Goalkeeper:

    • Improved ball deflection direction during saves – the ball is more likely to be cleared to a safe zone.

    • Improved goalkeeper behaviour and reactions in various match situations. 

  • Updated ground pass animations.

  • Updated animation for the Lane Change Feint Move.

  • Improved the performance of the Heel to Ball Roll Feint Move.

  • Refined the Super Cancel animation during Dribble Sprint.

  • Adjusted how fatigue affects shot parameters.

  • Refined the Fast Low Finesse Skill:

    • Enhanced accuracy logic based on the shooter’s position and angle to the goal.

    • Fixed how weak foot affects shot power. 

  • Improved pass target selection during free kicks in the defensive half. 

  • Refined the default shot trajectory on free kicks — it is now straighter, and applying curve requires using the right stick. 

  • Adjusted the logic for triggering quick substitutions to allow replacing players who become heavily fatigued during the first half.

  • Fixes:

    • Fixed an issue where passes with low power buildup would incorrectly target the opposite flank. 

    • Fixed incorrect pass animation when kicking off from the centre.

AI Assist, Bot

Defensive AI Behaviour:

  • Improved player positioning under the Active Contain mechanic. Positioning now more strongly depends on the perceived threat of the opponent’s direction of movement with the ball.

  • Introduced a new interception stance: the player will attempt to position between the opponent and the ball to block potential pass trajectories.

  • Player attributes will now have a greater impact on how quickly players react to changes in the opponent’s movement direction and when switching to a new pressing target.

Attacking AI Behaviour:

  • Improved positioning inside the box: players will move more actively, change positions more frequently, and stay closer to the ball.

  • Increased the impact of player attributes on how effectively players get open for a pass inside the penalty area.

Set pieces:

  • “Push Squad Forward” / “Pull Squad Back” (LB/RB) mechanics can now be used unlimited times while the set piece is active.

  • Improved positioning of the attacking team’s defensive line after being called back.

  • Improved midfield positioning on free kicks taken from your own half or the centre of the pitch. Players will stay closer to the ball to provide more options for a short and safe set-piece play.

Defensive Bot Behaviour:

  • Based on the situation on the pitch and the positioning of teammates, the bot can now play first-touch ground passes.

  • The types of crosses into the penalty area have been refined to add variety and improve the effectiveness of the bot’s actions.

  • The bot can now evaluate the situation and attempt first-time shots on goal.

  • Dribbling effectiveness has been rebalanced for the highest difficulty level.

Attacking Bot Behaviour:

  • The frequency and effectiveness of sliding tackles have been rebalanced across all difficulty levels.

  • The frequency and effectiveness of standing tackles have also been rebalanced across all difficulty levels.

  • The bot’s defensive behaviour on higher difficulty levels has been slightly adjusted to better reflect the expected standard of play.

Fixes:

  • Fixed issue with bots performing aggressive slide tackles from behind too frequently.

  • Fixed referee positioning during set pieces.

  • Fixed bot player switching logic during shots on goal.

  • Fixed bot switching to the goalkeeper after missed shots.

  • Fixed bot movement direction when using active tackle.
