Regarding Tactical View: I have not created a separate Tactical View version yet because the system is completely new, and these changes may already be suitable for players who enjoy Tactical View to use this version. However, I still need to analyze and test it properly, and since the game was updated today, I need to release this version first. I will let you know later whether a dedicated Tactical View update will be released.

V9 delivers a major gameplay overhaul covering passing, shooting, headers, movement, stamina, tactics, AI, match ratings, bicycle kicks, referees, injuries, and weather physics: passes and shots now have clearer power differences, heavier ball movement, reduced assistance, and more realistic speed, spin, deflection, momentum, trajectory behavior, etc.

Detailed Changes:

Passing

·  Ground Passing: Ground passes were rebuilt with clearer low, standard, and high-power separation, heavier ball movement, stronger momentum loss on soft passes, and less automatic assistance.

·  Ground-Pass Low Power: Low-power ground passes now travel more slowly, absorb more incoming momentum, and work better for short controlled touches and possession play.

·  Ground-Pass Standard Power: Standard ground passes now provide balanced speed, acceleration, rotation, and control for realistic midfield circulation.

·  Ground-Pass High Power: High-power ground passes now travel decisively faster while remaining below unrealistic driven-ball speeds and preserving physical ball behavior.

Shooting

·  Normal Shooting: Normal-shot contact was redesigned so low, standard, and high-power shots have more distinct speed, acceleration, rotation, elevation, and deflection behavior.

·  Low-Power Shooting: Low-power shots now feel more controlled and less artificially fast, with greater cushioning and more visible influence from body orientation.

·  Standard Shooting: Standard shots now retain balanced force while reducing excessive animation correction and unrealistic maximum ball speed.

·  High-Power Shooting: High-power shots remain powerful but no longer receive the extreme acceleration and speed that previously made them feel like unrealistic rockets.

·  Shot Deflection: Shot contact now includes controlled deflection variation so imperfect contact is less deterministic and depends more on pressure, timing, and body position.

·  Shot Elevation Assistance: Maximum shot-elevation correction was reduced so animations cannot automatically transform awkward contact into perfectly directed shots.

Header

·  Header-Shot Physics: Header-shot contact was rebuilt to reward clean timing with firmer power while reducing magnetic clamping, sticky ball attachment, and automatic trajectory correction.

·  Header Accuracy: Properly timed headers now receive better directional control, while poorly positioned or backward-leaning headers remain visibly inaccurate.

·  Header Power: Clean headers now transfer slightly more force, but maximum header velocity remains safely below normal-shot speed.

·  Glancing Headers: Reduced grip and sliding friction allow the ball to glance naturally across the forehead instead of sticking to the player.

·  Header Spin: Increased spin friction reduces exaggerated curl, wobble, and inherited rotation after heading contact.

·  Header Passing: Header passes were rebuilt with clear low, standard, and high-power roles instead of all three producing nearly identical outcomes.

·  Low-Power Header Passing: Low-power headers now cushion fast balls, drop possession to nearby teammates, and absorb more incoming momentum.

·  Standard Header Passing: Standard header passes now provide reliable aerial circulation, defensive layoffs, and controlled midfield combinations.

·  High-Power Header Passing: High-power header passes now create stronger flick-ons, switches, and space-attacking redirections without behaving like shots.

·  Header-Pass Elevation: Header-pass elevation assistance was reduced so trajectory depends more on contact height, body posture, timing, and heading ability.

·  Header-Pass Momentum: Low-power headers remove the most incoming speed, while high-power headers preserve more momentum through contact.

·  Header animation-selection thresholds were tightened so players must align their body more accurately with the incoming ball.

·  Procedural header recovery was reduced to prevent magnetic forehead contact and excessive animation warping.

Tempo, movement, stamina overhaul

·  Global Match Tempo: Slow game-speed acceleration, sprint speed, passing speed, and positional-run frequency were reduced to restore a heavier and more authentic match rhythm.

·  Fast Game-Speed Balance: Fast game speed remains quicker than Slow but was reduced from the excessive vanilla values that created constant end-to-end football.

·  Passing Tempo: Global pass-speed limits were lowered to prevent instant ball circulation and allow midfield defensive structures time to react.

·  Action Frequency: Universal buildup, shooting, dribbling, skill-move, crossing, and first-touch passing frequencies were reduced to prevent repetitive attacking spam.

·  Player Sprint Identity: The sprint-speed range was widened so slow players remain genuinely slow while elite pace players retain a meaningful advantage.

·  Acceleration Identity: Acceleration curves were rebuilt so average players require more distance to reach speed while explosive players remain noticeably quicker.

·  Jogging Pace: Off-ball jogging and on-ball cruising speeds were reduced so players do not constantly move at near-sprint tempo.

·  Dribbling Identity: Dribbling timing curves were widened so weaker players require more preparation while elite technical players execute touches more quickly.

·  Passing Animation Identity: Passing animations now vary more strongly with player ability, making poor passers slower and elite playmakers visibly sharper.

·  Shooting Animation Identity: Shooting preparation now depends more strongly on attributes, so elite finishers release shots faster than ordinary attackers.

·  First-Touch Identity: Trapping and after-touch timing were widened so difficult control consumes more time and elite ball-control players stand out.

·  Turning and Momentum: Players now require more foot planting and lose more speed during sharp direction changes, reducing skating and instant turning.

·  Reaction Identity: Reaction curves were widened so intelligent and reactive players respond faster without giving every player impossible reactions.

·  Defensive Animation Identity: Tackling and blocking timing now separates elite defenders from weaker defenders instead of giving all players similar recovery speed.

·  Post-Touch Commitment: Players can no longer cancel difficult touches immediately, and weaker control creates longer recovery before the next action.

·  Touch Assistance: Assisted touch-angle ranges were reduced so body orientation and technique matter more and ordinary players receive less magnetic control.

·  Controlled Sprint: Controlled sprint now gives elite technical dribblers an advantage without making every player unnaturally fast with the ball.

·  Acceleration Traits: Universal acceleration boosts were reduced while regular and elite traits retain clear, controlled advantages.

·  Acceleration Cooldowns: Sprint-boost durations were shortened and recovery times increased to prevent repeated turbo launches.

·  Skill Moves: Elite players retain faster skill execution, but repeated moves now carry stronger recovery and effectiveness penalties.

·  Fatigue: Repeated sprinting and late-match fatigue now reduce acceleration, sprint speed, dribbling quality, and recovery movement more visibly.

·  Player durability attributes now provide meaningful protection without allowing highly resistant players to become nearly immune.

Tactics changes

·  Goalkeeper Identity: Goalkeeper attribute ranges were widened so elite and weak goalkeepers differ more clearly in reactions, positioning, handling, and reliability.

·  Team Identity: Dynamic CPU behavior ranges were widened so teams display more varied tactical decisions instead of converging toward one universal style.

·  Possession Teams: Possession-oriented teams now build more patiently, recycle the ball, and avoid forcing constant forward attacks.

·  Counterattacking Teams: Counterattacking teams retain fast and decisive transitions when space appears without receiving universal speed boosts.

·  Direct Teams: Direct teams now progress vertically through tactical decisions and movement rather than artificial pace advantages.

·  Tiki-Taka Teams: Tiki-taka teams now emphasize quick combinations and first-touch passing while remaining more selective with shots.

·  Dribbling Teams: Dribbling-oriented teams now attempt more individual carries while other teams are less likely to copy the same behavior.

·  Crossing Teams: Crossing-focused teams retain higher crossing frequency without making every CPU team repeatedly attack from wide areas.

·  Defensive Team Styles: Conservative, aggressive, harassing, double-contain, and Italian-style defenses now have more distinct tackling and pressing behavior.

·  Tactical Spacing: Defensive lines, team width, line length, fullback movement, and marking ranges were widened to create stronger formation and tactical differences.

·  AI Difficulty: CPU challenge now comes more from tactical variation, positioning, anticipation, and attribute use rather than speed boosts or artificial cheating.

·  User and CPU Parity: The same movement, physics, fatigue, customization, and evaluation rules apply to both the user and CPU.

Evaluation match rating changes

·  Attacker Shot Evaluation: Every shot attempt now begins with a negative evaluation contribution so attackers cannot improve their rating simply by shooting repeatedly.

·  Off-Target Shots: Poor shots that miss the target now produce the strongest non-goal rating penalty.

·  Saved Shots: Shots on target that are saved receive only a small negative result instead of the large positive reward used by the original system.

·  Close Misses: Narrowly missed shots are penalized less than poor attempts but still reduce the attacker’s rating.

·  Deflected Shots: Deflected attempts receive a moderated penalty to recognize defensive interference while remaining unsuccessful actions.

·  Shots Hitting the Frame: Hitting the post or crossbar receives limited quality credit but still creates a negative overall evaluation.

·  Attacker Rating Difficulty: Attackers must now score, create chances, retain possession, make good decisions, and use opportunities efficiently to achieve elite match ratings.

·  Positional Fairness: The evaluation changes reduce the advantage attackers previously gained from shot volume and bring their rating difficulty closer to defenders and goalkeepers.

Bicycle kick

·  Bicycle kicks now have clearer low-, standard-, and high-power differences based on contact quality, body position, incoming-ball speed, and selected power.

·  Bicycle-kick maximum speeds and acceleration were reduced to prevent weak attempts from producing unrealistic rocket shots.

·  Bicycle-kick spin, deflection, trajectory correction, and momentum transfer were rebalanced to create more natural acrobatic finishes.

Referee, foul

·  Standing, sliding, hard, automatic, shoulder, barge, seal-out, and unclassified tackle foul thresholds were completely rebalanced.

·  Clean ball-winning tackles now receive more tolerance, while reckless follow-through and no-ball contact are punished more consistently.

·  Referee personalities now have clearer lenient, normal, and strict behavior instead of using identical foul-intensity values.

·  Yellow-card thresholds were rebuilt so strict referees remain firm without booking players for nearly every minor foul.

·  Red-card thresholds were rebalanced so dismissals are more closely connected to severe contact and denial of clear scoring opportunities.

·  Persistent-foul logic now requires a genuine pattern of repeated fouling instead of activating after one or two ordinary incidents.

·  Previously warned players now face a greater disciplinary risk when they continue committing fouls.

·  Lenient, normal, and strict referees now use different free-kick wall-management and encroachment values.

·  Light-, medium-, and severe-injury probability tables were rebuilt to create a more realistic injury-severity distribution.

Injury rebalance

·  Fatigue-based injury risk now increases more progressively and no longer becomes excessively dominant near maximum exhaustion.

·  Long-term fatigue thresholds and injury probabilities were reorganized into smooth, consistent durability progressions.

·  Body-part and joint force thresholds were rebalanced so ordinary collisions cause fewer injuries while dangerous impacts remain meaningful.

·  Joint torque ranges were rebuilt to improve the consistency of twisting and rotational injuries.

·  Collision-angle injury modifiers were refined so dangerous impact directions matter without overpowering every other injury factor.

·  The injury-prone trait multiplier was reduced so traits remain important without dominating fatigue, force, angle, and attributes.

·  Sprinting, powerful kicking, and emergency-stretch injury curves were rebuilt so non-contact injuries mainly occur under extreme fatigue.

·  Emergency stretching now carries the highest late-fatigue injury risk, followed by powerful kicking and sprinting.

Weather physics

·  Normal pitch physics now serve as the stable V9 match-tempo reference.

·  Dry pitches now feel firmer and cleaner without making player movement or grounded passes faster than normal.

·  Wet pitches remain slippery, but increased ball resistance and drag prevent unusually fast passing and chaotic transitions.

·  Snow pitches remain unstable and absorbent while using less extreme traction and stopping values.

·  Mud pitches remain the heaviest and roughest surface without making ball movement unnaturally dead.

·  All weather profiles now preserve unique traction, sliding, bounce, drag, and pitch-wear behavior without increasing tempo above the normal pitch.

There may also be smaller changes included that I applied during development but have forgotten to list individually. However, the major V9 improvements are covered above.
