Where the playable football goes next

Throw-ins are in. Next: goal kicks and corners you take yourself, charged lob passes with real over- and under-hit error, smarter AI, and 11v11 on a full-size pitch.

WHAT’SNEXT

Throw-ins are in. Here is where the playable side is headed next, in order.

  1. Goal kicks and corners. Take them yourself, on the same framework as throw-ins: aim, commit, and watch the boot strike on the contact frame.
  2. Charged lob passes. Over-hit it and it sails past. Under-hit it and you give the ball away. Risk equals reward.
  3. Smarter AI. Team-mates who pass and move. Defenders who mark.
  4. 11v11 on a full-size pitch.

A management sim you can actually play, built solo in Unreal Engine 5. This post gets refreshed as things ship.
