REJECTED IDEAS

We haven’t rejected any ideas this month.

Q1 AND Q2 OF 2025

Starting in 2025, we're introducing a major change to FootballTeam's development: Quarterly Updates.

Why are we changing our approach?

Until now, we’ve aimed to update the game every 1–1.5 months. While this approach allowed for dynamic development, it also came with significant challenges:

• Communication issues – Frequent updates made it difficult to fully inform players about new features.

• Update limitations – There wasn’t enough time to implement larger updates, like introducing national teams.

What’s changing in 2025?

Starting next year, we’re moving to a quarterly update cycle. This will enable us to:

• Focus on bigger projects – Longer preparation periods will allow us to tackle more ambitious plans.

• Improve communication – Each quarter will feature 3 Q&A sessions (one per month), giving you the chance to learn about upcoming features, share feedback, and help us implement necessary improvements.

What’s next?

Below, you’ll find our plans for the first and second quarters of 2025. Be sure to follow the upcoming Q&A sessions for more details and insights into the game’s future direction.

FIRST QUARTER OF 2025 

In the first quarter of 2025, we’re launching Phase II of Club Extension. After thoroughly analyzing the module, we’ve concluded that the only practical solution is to introduce all the new buildings at once. Why? Because these elements are closely interconnected—both with the new Science Academy and the existing buildings in the game.

During this quarter, we’ll focus on preparing all the visual elements for the new buildings, including graphics and interface views. Intensive work on this module has been underway since mid-December.

Extra tasks for the first quarter

In the meantime, we have planned to implement several smaller and larger tasks that will not interfere with the development of the Club Extension module. Here is the list of projects selected for implementation. 

💎 NEW Achievements: Adding new milestones and rebalancing rewards for the "Everything Matters" achievement (up to 200,000 OVR).

💎 NEW Achievements: Introducing new milestones and rebalancing rewards in the 8 core Player Skills achievements.

💎 NEW Achievements: Adding new achievements related to cards.

💎 NEW Achievements: Adding new achievements related to basic and special collections.

💎 NEW Achievements: New seasonal rewards related to club extension and mutual training - Team Achievements.

💎 NEW Challenges: Update of calender challenges.

💎 NEW Gameplay: Revamping Hero Stars.

💎 NEW Gameplay: Introducing Team Hero Stars.   

💎 NEW Packs: Rebalance of resources in Energetic Pack.

💎NEW Boosters: Revamping booster sets.

💎 QuestLine: Working on QuestLine,which has to replace the tutorial and help introduce new Players to FootballTeam.

💎 Calendar: Daily Achievements won’t be connected with the Calendar anymore (it won’t be necessary to complete Calendar Challenges before completing Daily Achievements). 

💎 Collections: Adding 32 new special collections.

💎 City/Market: Adding a market history showing the last X transactions made with Credits.

💎 City: New “Bottle Buyback” module that will allow players to exchange excess drinks for useful resources, helping to reduce unnecessary items. 

💎Games: Changes to SuperLeague  – it will be changed into SuperLeague Tournament.

💎 Sorting: Adding new sorting options in private messages.

💎Games: Stance (optional – if time allows): This new feature will allow players to temporarily boost a character during a match, likely for 5 ticks. It’s designed to promote in-game activity. Players can activate this option up to three times per match: the first activation is free, while the next two cost 0.5% of Chemistry + Energy per click.

SECOND QUARTER OF 2025 

In the second quarter of 2025, we’ll focus on the technical implementation of the Club Extension module. With the visual elements (views and graphics) completed in Q1, we’ll shift our efforts to the backend development necessary to fully integrate the new module into the game.

What exactly are we working on?

• Technical part (backend):Club Extension is a complex system that requires a robust technical foundation. In Q2, we’ll concentrate on coding, integration, and thorough testing to ensure everything runs smoothly.

• Extra modules:Alongside the Club Extension, we’ll introduce additional features. Details about these extras will be shared in upcoming Q&A sessions—stay tuned for updates!

MONTHLY LEAKS DROP

From now on, every Q&A will feature details about upcoming updates and new features we’ve already designed. This means you’ll get precise information about how the new modules and functions will look and work once they’re implemented in the game.

ACHIEVEMENTS UPDATE

Today we’ll be focusing on the update of achievements, alongside presenting new ones.

“Everything Matters” achievement:

• The achievement has been expanded up to an OVR level of 200,000.

Achievement examples:

Achievement I:Turn in basic collections X times.

Achievement II: Turn in a given collection X times.

Achievements related to special collections:

In the upcoming update, we’ll introduce 4 new achievements related to special collections. All achievements will involve submitting a specific number of collections. In addition to rewards tied to the collections, players will also be able to earn extra bonuses for completing each achievement.

Achievement example: Turn in X special collections.

Achievements related to card slots:

In the upcoming update, we’re also adding achievements related to card slots. For now, we’ve prepared 2 achievements that will be focused on expanding the available card slots.

  ... and much more!

PLAYERS’ QUESTIONS

Fábio Muri: I’d like to suggest creating a collection of cards featuring journalists who contribute to the FootballTeam Sports Journal. After all, they are an important part of the game.

Hello, Fábio Muri, thank you for your suggestion. We’ll keep that in mind when creating the next FootballTeam Legends cards. 

Lomax20001 (Discord): I’d like to suggest adding a search function in the card rewards section. This feature would allow players to search for specific rewards, such as packs, Energy, etc., making it easier to quickly find the desired rewards.

Hey, Lomax20001. Thank you for your suggestion. We’ll bring this up in our next developer meeting.

Grinchssive: Suggestions for Card Duels:

Quick Duels:

• Change them so they’re not exactly the same as ranked matches.

• Change the number of rounds to 7.

• Shorten the round time to 10 seconds.

• Make them truly "Quick" and fun.

New Mode: "Joker"

• Each player gets a Joker card – no stats.

• The Joker wins the round and takes points from the opponent's card.

• If the opponent doesn’t use a card that round, the Joker doesn’t earn points.

• Joker vs. Joker results in a draw with 0 points earned.

"Blind Bull"

• There’s a chance that the skill will be unknown during a round.

• Up to 3 times per game.

• Players won’t know which skill will count in a given round.

Hello, Grinchssive, thank you for sharing your suggestions. We like these ideas. We’ll discuss them and possibly add them to our task list.

Matheus Xavier (Discord):  suggest introducing the ability to exchange or sell duplicate skins purchased on the account. My second suggestion – adding at least 2 more simultaneous training slots, so players can do 4 trainings at once. The current limit of two simultaneous trainings is too small. Also, consider adding the ability to exchange epic or higher items. For example: I have an epic item (Macedonia Boots), but I’d like to exchange it for other epic boots from a different country or club. Of course, to make the exchange, I could add X amount of credits.

Hey, Matheus Xavier, thank you for your suggestions. The event option for doing 4 trainings at once is already available on the Speed and Legacy servers since the last update. Regarding your second suggestion, we don’t have plans to make changes in this area at the moment, but we’ll definitely discuss it in the next developer meeting. 

Kominek Ciepła (Discord): Suggestion: Add a list showing who won the auction and when.

Hello, Kominek Ciepła, that’s an interesting suggestion. We’ll consider how we can present such a list in the game.

Lincoln (Discord): I suggest adding a button to collect all completed achievements.

Hello, Lincoln, first of all, we’d like to thank you for consistently sharing your ideas and suggestions for FootballTeam. Regarding your suggestion, we’ll discuss this idea at the next developer meeting.

ADMINISTRATION QUESTIONS

1. What new gameplay formats would you like to see in FootballTeam’s Card Duels?
