ULTRA REALISTIC GAMEPLAY 1.8 Alpha Test is here!

I’ve said it from the start: my goal is to replicate a real football match. There’s criticism — I don’t care. I’m staying the course.
Let’s be clear: don’t say “it’s slow.” It isn’t. This is a real match pace. On first touch you feel the player’s weight under your control while keeping true fluidity. He goes where you want, at the speed you choose, and dribbling remains agile. Yes, when receiving a pass, it’s human: he traps the ball — sometimes poorly — then sets off with inertia. You feel every movement, constantly, yet fluidly.
Match tempo is greatly improved. I’ll repeat it: this is a TV-style pace — you’ll need to build your plays, defend well, and think.
I’ve done major work on the AI in 1.8. It runs and acts like a human in every decision: it makes mistakes in front of goal, fails dribbles, misplaces passes, controls the tempo, reads opportunities… its choices will surprise you.
Second — and one of the most important points in 1.8: increased pass inaccuracy on “Semi” (the assistance I consider mandatory with my mod). The receiver logic is improved too: it no longer locks the target as soon as the pass is played and lets the ball’s trajectory unfold naturally to the recipient.
Fixed nets that bugged out after goals: reactions are now realistic.
Train your brain to the rhythm of real football; that’s why, in the first few minutes, you’ll think, “but this is slow…”.
Learn to appreciate the build-up play and enjoy every movement your players make.
Trust me.
Plenty more improvements to discover.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: YOU MUST KEEP THESE SETTINGS IF YOU WANT TO PRESERVE THE URG 1.8 EXPERIENCE. ⚠️
- ⚠️Assistance: Semi / Manual
- ⚠️Difficulty: Any
- ⚠️Authentic Mod: Enabled (Set all sliders to Authentic. Avoid changing them—or just keep the locked Realistic mode preset.)

- ⚠️AI Tactics: Default (all sliders at 50)
- ⚠️ Weather effects and wind: DISABLED (for now). I haven’t worked on this yet.
Make sure you haven’t lowered or raised the game speed with
Aranaktu’s Live Editor, as it can ruin the overall experience. If you’re using Live Editor, ensure the speed is set to
1.00.
