Football, Tactics & Glory: Football Stars

This expansion is a major revamp to the base game and significantly improves existing mechanics:

GIFTEDNESS

A new mechanic has been added to every footballer: giftedness. Although the theoretical maximum level is 100 for every footballer, they will now level up considerably slower after they reach a certain level (their practical maximum level).

More gifted footballers have a higher practical maximum level, allowing them to compete better in higher tournaments.

Giftedness and stamina now account for the potential of both the attacker using the skill and the defender who defends against the skill. Level 1 skills are now much more usable!

Expect major changes to the way you build your team, centered around the giftedness of your footballers, while other characteristics are still important as well.

STATISTICS

Various statistics from previous and current seasons are now saved and analyzed. You can indulge in the past glory of your club, and adopt better future tactics through the many graphs, charts, and statistical summaries!

CLUB'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND PERSONNEL

You can now upgrade the club’s infrastructure such as the training ground, scout centre and hospital.

New personnel have been added (physicians, youth coaches).

TRANSFERS

• You can now directly buy footballers from abroad.
• You can now directly buy footballers not on the transfer market if you're willing to pay a higher price.
• When you sell a footballer, you can choose between different offers from 2-3 clubs (previously you cannot control which club to sell your footballer to).
• Other clubs will periodically offer to buy your best footballers at a higher price.

GAMEPLAY AND BALANCE

• Major rework to the economy system.
• Added Team of the round and Team of the season that reward with Glory and Fans.
• Added a new specialization tree: Stamina.
• Redesigned fan mechanics. Now you can accumulate more than 80,000 fans. The more fans your club has, the more money sponsors are willing to pay you.
• Improved AI of top clubs when preparing formations and making substitutions. Premier League becomes more challenging.
• For experienced players looking for a challenge, Hard mode is even more difficult than before.
• Added the ability to quickly simulate an already started match to completion.

• Plus many balance changes for you to discover!

IMMERSION

• Added animations following important wins and losses in both League and Cup games.
• Added visual events that pause the match for substitutions, injuries and yellow/red cards.
• Goal animations reworked. Now they look more varied, interesting and realistic.
