The developer behind the TrueFoot gameplay mod has released version 1.3 (FREE),
a major gameplay update focused on the moments that often decide
matches. While version 1.2 centered on ball movement and passing
intelligence, the new release introduces significant changes to
shooting, goalkeepers, defensive positioning, and crossing.
β½ Shooting and goalkeepers rebalanced
Normal and power shots have received an increase in power after feedback that they felt too weak in the previous version, while finesse shots remain unchanged. The CPU is also more willing to shoot, including from long range, and now takes chances earlier during open attacking runs.
Goalkeepers received the largest overhaul in the update. Hard shots are now more likely to be parried than caught, recovery after saves has been sped up, one-on-one situations have been toned down, and the performance gap between elite and lower-rated keepers has been reduced. Rushing off the line has also been rebalanced.

Defensive positioning and crossing adjustments
Version 1.3 aims to improve defensive organization by making midfielders react sooner to passing lanes, reducing cases where multiple defenders chase the same attacker, and keeping fullbacks closer to their assigned flank. Reactions to feints and shot fakes have also been adjusted.
Crosses are now faster and flatter, attacking runs have been repositioned toward the penalty spot and back post, and headers have been strengthened for players without the Heading PlayStyle. Lower-skilled players will also be more prone to poor first touches, especially while sprinting, while elite dribblers retain their advantage.
π»Additional gameplay tweaks
- Jockey movement has been recalibrated.
- Shoulder challenges now depend more on angle, positioning, and momentum.
- Corners and direct free kicks display the full aiming trajectory.
- First-touch errors under pressure have been softened slightly compared to version 1.2.
