Football Superstars

Patch Notes FS 3.1

PMC

PMC managers can now assign squad numbers to PMC players. The numbers available are 2-99 (1 is reserved for the GK) and this can be performed by clicking the players name and then a number for them.

Matchplay

The goalkeepers throw height has been reduced and kick height will no longer cancel a pre-load if the receiving player is within the landing area of ball.

Fixed an issue where the Ball Control stat could make a player faster than their actual Movement Rate. Ball control now works as intended Ball Control - Your ability to run with the ball and shield from front tackles - When in control of the ball you suffer a penalty to your Movement Rate the higher your BC the less the penalty, High BC also offers a resistance to tackles from the front.

Item Degrading

Items will now consume a charge at match entry rather than match end.

Pro Mode

Pro Mode will now load the correct items to match in respect of position.

Assigned In Match Positions

Positions will be assigned randomly again and not based on position in queue.

Please note that the game will be offline on Tuesday morning between 6am and 9am.

This is for a game update which with two important changes.  Firstly, the recent bug affecting chat and match commentary has been fixed. More interestingly, PMCs will now have the much requested ability to redesign their strips and badges.

Managers will now be able to completely redesign their home and away colours for their club, as well as changing their badge. So any club who are looking for new colours to usher in a new season will now be able to do so.

Furthermore, the shops in town are eager to get in on the action and have declared all gloves and shades to be half price this week. So it’s a good time to grab a new look for your character and your club

We’ve been ramping up the testing of our upcoming game Striker Superstars, with 1500 invitations going out over the weekend.  We’ve been having a frantic morning of testing in the office ourselves, and aside from a few bruised ankles and egos, things are shaping up nicely.  

Nevertheless, we’re still putting the game through its paces as we work through a few bugs and play with the mechanics. So, we have work to do yet.

If you were one of the lucky ones who received an emai invitation at the weekend then you may have had an error on your password. If so, then fear not as a new batch of emails have just been sent which will deliver the correct password for your test account.

Please note that the game will be offline until 09:30 GMT for patching.  Along with some technical fixes this patch will include improved language select options as well as the ability for PMCs to assign players for specific set pieces.

Please note that due to the deployment of new website code, the forums will remain offline for the remainder of the evening and will return on Wednesday 5th October.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Please note that from 4pm this evening you may notice occasional forum errors such as missing avatar images and periods where you may not be able to log in. This is due to new code being deployed to the website ahead of Striker Superstars.

The problems may persist for a day or so, and we apologise for the inconvenience in the mean time, but no forum information will be lost and your avatars will return. 

Note that this only affects the forums. The rest of the website and the game will not be affected.

Striker Superstars!

CyberSports are proud to announce the imminent release of Striker Superstars, their new browser-based football game. Utilising the Unity game engine, Striker Superstars will allow you to log on from anywhere and play, as well as giving Mac users a chance to get in on the Superstars action, yes you heard it right this game is both PC & Mac compatible.

Gameplay

Gamers play against and alongside strangers or friends in fast paced five a side football action.  If they register their account they will be able to develop their character by training their stats, equipping items and unlocking achievements through their performance on  pitch. These achievements reward the player with far more than bragging rights and a pretty graphic.  Each time a player unlocks an achievement they receive a token which can then be used to upgrade any of the items in their inventory.

The game uses the current 5 a-side match engine from Football Superstars, but has been adapted it to work outside of the FS game client and allow for immediate and highly accessible gameplay.

Accessibility

One of the greatest benefits of the new game is that it greatly enhances accessibility.  There is no big client to download and install.  Technical requirements are so minimal that practically anyone with a computer and an internet connection will be able to play and what’s more you don’t even have to register!  New players can log in as a guest and experience match play within seconds, but if you wish to chat with your fellow players and save your character’s progression then you’ll need to register an account.

Two Games, One Family

The release of Striker Superstars does not signify a departure from Football Superstars. To the contrary Striker Superstars is there to complement Football Superstars, not replace it. Players who want to take their experience further and experience larger matches of 7 and 11 a-side, as well as joining persistent Player Managed Clubs can only do so via Football Superstars, which remains the primary game.  Meanwhile, players of Football Superstars will be able to jump on and play with friends who would not otherwise be able to take part and grab some quick games during free time or a lunch break.

Getting Involved

Registrations are now open for the BETA test sessions and you can sign up here. We’ll then be selecting people to take part in the test sessions over the coming weeks.

The clock is now ticking, folks.  Sign ups are open for Season 3 of the Superstar League and there are now only seven days remaining to get your team entered into the competition.

There are 7 a side and 11 a side leagues taking place on both Pele and Cruyff, so if you’re in an active PMC and eager to test yourself against the best then make sure you check out the forum for everything you need to know about signing up.

The Superstar League is the biggest competition around, so make sure you check it out and get your team signed up.

Knowledge is power!  An oft used saying, especially by me, but it holds true all the same.

Today we’re eager to share the power by placing knowledge within your hands in the form of the PMC Database.

Take a quick look over this and you’ll be able to view all the players within a PMC, their rank, the PMC stats and a history of the matches played.  What’s more, if you click on one of the matches then you can get details of who played, who scored and who won man of the match!

This is the first edition of the database, and although it already gives a wealth of information, it is still in beta so please make sure to take a look and give your comments.

The end of summer is almost upon us (although most people in the UK wouldn’t have known it had ever happened). Over the last few months we’ve had promotions aplenty with half price credits, double membership and two for one promotions.

However, now that summer is coming to an end, that does not mean all that s good has left the world.  While students return to their studies and the morning traffic once again turns to madness, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be continuing with the promotions to keep the joy flowing in Football Superstars.

This week we’re keeping it simple and fun, with the first of our item specific promotions. Until Wednesday 14th September, all mascot suits will be half price! Simply head over to the Shades store and pick your team mascot suit of choice.

So if your dinner jacket is looking a little tattered, or your grey tracksuit just isn’t cutting it anymore, go wild and grab something a little more fun.

Keep your eyes on the news in the days and weeks to come for news of more item specific promotions so you can pick yourself up a bargain.
