V0.9 — closed beta
Before the public launch, TrueFoot ran as a closed beta with a small group of testers. This is where the core feel was locked in from real match feedback.
What changed in the beta
- First locomotion & pass-weight pass — the foundation of the heavy, weighted touch.
- Pass travel-time tuned to a safe ceiling, so through-balls stop auto-leading the wrong runner.
- Early defensive compactness & marking tweaks.
- Goalkeeper save-difficulty softened.
- Calibrated against vanilla via repeated in-game testing.
The beta confirmed the direction: realism that’s felt in the first touch, not buried in menus. Everything here carried forward into V1.0.
