IMPROVEMENTS & BUG FIXES
We’ve also fixed several bugs and small issues reported through the game’s official Discord. 1.22.4 Sep 18 GOALKEEPER BEHAVIOR IMPROVEMENTS

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to report them in detail — keep them coming! 1.21.3 Sep 11 VAR now follows the rules more closely
Automatic VAR only intervenes in situations the rules actually allow, so it no longer recommends yellow cards while you referee. The same applies when you play as the VAR referee: if a review ends outside VAR's scope, you'll be told and you won't get a bonus or a penalty.
RAM optimization
Lower memory usage, especially on lower-end devices.
Bug fixes

MORE REALISTIC PHYSICS & ANIMATIONS
Improved player and ball physics make tackles, contact and shots more realistic. Shirt pulls and sliding tackles are clearer, helping you judge whether a player touched the ball or the opponent.
SMOOTHER REPLAYS
More precise playback, improved visual details and double the recording frame rate make replays and slow motion smoother than ever.
SMARTER AI
Players build more creative moves with better combinations, smarter movement and more technical actions, including nutmegs.
