One last thread before the games goes F2P or EoSMost important changes this season :- dribbling buffed (less stamina used)- defensive stance hitboxes and assists nerfed but dash distance buffed- can no longer grab ball with hands on GK after one pass back to you- vexis dash exploits supposedly removed- can't earn BP tokens by just playing the game, now it's the usual treadmill slop of dailies and weeklies (muh player retention and engagement)Good changes on defense and attack, BP changes kinda cancer and I'm not hopping on the treadmill.
>>2313318Is it rly gonna be f2p?You're shitting me. Sage, anyway.
>>2318422They said so in Plebbit AMA. It boiled down to they want to make it good before a F2P relaunch because they will only have one shot. Problem is they keep making retarded decisions and they just made BP harder to finish (sign of desperation) so maybe the publisher will stop funding before that but that's unlikely since the game sold 3+ million copies, they probably think there's cows to be milked.On the other hand before I stopped playing I often saw some retards with paid skins so who knows how much money the game is actually making past the initial purchase.
>>2319326>>2319326damn, already going f2p? well hopefully it brings some life into the game.
>>2319430Personally gonna do some private lobbies with my poorfag friends, it's a fun party game but the competitive aspect leaves a lot to be desired. Also who knows >when< it will go F2P, they haven't given any sort of ETA. Could be before the end of this year, could be in 2027. The most logical thing would be gunning for a release during the World Cup, but they are still missing some key features for football normalfags (making clubs, tourneys n shieet)
>>2313318Why did it fail? It was such a huge success in the beta
Nothingburger roadmap but I bet the big "SPECIAL EVENT" is going F2P.>>2337493Released way too early full of bugs + missed some features + footy fans don't pay for vidya unless it's FIFA or GTAAlso there's a big disconnect between the hardcore competitive part of the community and the overwhelming majority that just want to play this like a party game and LARP as a Blue Lock character, sadly in this game they have to interact instead of being segregated like in Rocket League. Plus devs are nerfing exploits (good) but also not giving more options to do fun plays, so the meta is closer to regular football than an arcade game.
>>2337493Bad release + no crossplay. Kepler got too greedy after E33, but Sloclap is also probably retarded.If the F2P relaunch (if it's this year) doesn't poomp the numbers it's gonna be EoS or on life support next year. Also fuck those retards for adding weekly and daily challenges.
