Strikers Club Patch v0.80.2

v0.80.2 reworked Strikers Club penalties with run-up aiming, added jersey number customization, bandwidth improvements, and dozens of fixes.

Penalty System Rework

The headline change replaces free-movement penalty takers with a structured run-up after charging and aiming your kick. Goalkeepers gain certainty about shot timing without learning direction early—Oddshot targets more realistic conversion percentages versus old free-roam approaches.

Jersey Number Customization

Players can now set custom jersey numbers in the appearance menu. Numbers respect team color rules on primary jersey slots—see jersey numbers guide for UI flow and squad coordination tips.

Other Notable Additions

  • Intro logo sequence on boot
  • FPS display toggle with "FPS" suffix label
  • Advantage rule pulls back to free kick/penalty if untouched
  • Greatly improved purchase flow in appearance menu
  • Bandwidth usage optimizations without sacrificing netcode accuracy
  • UI button interaction consistency pass
  • Red card loopholes via position swap closed

Cosmetics & Fixes

New cosmetics included slit eyebrows, leather band wrist ornament, trimmed beard variants, Deflects and Sweeper goalie gloves, open hook earbuds, and nose guard mask. Fixes addressed penalty box teleports, tackled player ball control, offside bench checks, corner failures, T-pose 180 dribbles, and cosmetic preview clipping.
