---

⚽ Ball Control

• The ball now "sticks" to the player more consistently while dribbling — less slippery and more predictable.

• In online mode, the ball stays more accurately in front of the player carrying it, reducing situations where the ball seemed to slip away on its own.

• Improvements applied to both offline and online modes.

---

🎮 Online Gameplay

• Smoother and more synchronized ball and player movement during online matches.

• The ball appears less visually "delayed" — its displayed position is closer to the actual position on the server.

• Reduced noticeable desync in contested situations and quick passes.

---

🎯 Throw-in

• The throw-in has been fixed: the ball now rises and falls in a natural arc, with angle and force consistent with the throw.

---

🏃 Slide Tackle

• The time a player spends on the ground after taking a slide tackle has been reduced — the fall and get-up animation plays faster, making recovery quicker.

---

🧤 Goalkeeper

• The goalkeeper is now correctly taken into account in offside calculations, regardless of where they are on the field.

• The goalkeeper now stops completely when a goal animation is playing — previously they kept trying to act during the celebration, causing erratic behavior.

• Both goalkeepers on the field now coordinate: when the opposing goalkeeper is already diving or holding the ball, the other one waits in guard position. Previously they could act independently and out of sync, causing instability.

• The goalkeeper can now catch the ball while still getting up after a dive, if it stays close during recovery.

• During a free kick, the goalkeeper stays in guard position without trying to leave or dive too early.

• The lockup after a goal kick has been eliminated: the goalkeeper used to teleport after about 2 seconds of standing still for no reason.

• Save sound (parry or catch) plays the instant the ball touches the goalkeeper during a dive.

• The goalkeeper's punt and goal kick now emit a kick sound, like any other kick on the field.

---

🚩 Linesman

• The linesman's position has been fixed: the assistant now positions himself only relative to the last defender's line, without drifting sideways while following the ball.

---

📊 In-Game Scoreboard (TAB)

• Fixed the in-game scoreboard alignment: the header ("PLAYER / GOALS / ASSISTS"), team names, and player rows are now all aligned to the same columns.

• The player's country flag now shows correctly even when the client hadn't loaded the country yet at the time of joining the match — the server looks it up in the lobby and updates automatically.

---

🎙️ Voice Chat

• The per-player mute/unmute button on the scoreboard works again: the microphone icon is back (it was missing) and the click actually mutes/unmutes that player's audio.

• The "who's speaking" banner now shows the correct player name — previously, on slower connections, it could show only "Player" because the name hadn't loaded yet when voice chat logged in.

---

🎵 Audio

• Footstep sounds added for every player on the field.

• Kick sounds added to shots, auto passes, the goalkeeper's punt and goal kick.

• Starting and final whistle sounds added.

• Sounds generated by the player themselves come centered; sounds from other players come spatialized based on their position on the field.

• The background music volume on the loading screen was lowered to be less intrusive.
