KiO 7.2 Preview

With this update we will introduce you the new tactic: 3-5-2.
3-5-2
There is a second „paper-tactics“, which is stronger than 343 because it produces fewer goals and thus fewer surprises against counterattack tactics.
In addition, 352 is better suited to the label „controlled defensive“, which should always represent the paper tactics.
The exact release date is not fixed yet.

Have fun!

More rematches!

After the first live test we can definitly say: Most of you who like the return matches in knockout tournaments, because they reduce the risk of unfortunate Knockouts and increase at the same time the excitement.
Therefore the regio cups will get the rematches at sunday 03/06/2016. Additionall the Universe Cup will get the rematches too, the adjustment will happen at the 03/12/2016.

Have fun!

KiO 7.1 Preview

We introduce a trial basis on league chats.
For test purposes means we suspect that there might be some disputs.
But since we can nor want to moderate this chats, we have to watch how the people, you, behave in the league chats.
Should the attempt fail, we switch them off.

Re-matches

This has never happened before in Kick it Out: rematches!
To test we play tonight the Collector Cup in a knockout system with home and away matches (and European Cup rule of course!).
Back to Back matches reduce the influence of luck, because you can catch an unlucky defeat in the second match.
We wish much excitement!

This feature can not be used on Winphone-7, because this version isnt anymore developed.

Special Silver Pack

pack_111_512x512

Bisher haben wir den Inhalt des Special Packs ab und an angepasst, dies barg jedoch ein gewisses Verwechslungsrisiko.
Dies werden wir nun ändern.
Demnächst gibt es das Special Platin Pack und das Special Silver Pack im Wechsel, jeweils mit Platin- bzw. Silber-Spielern.

Viel Spaß beim Spielen!

Description change of the clan challenge

To avoid possible misunderstandings, we change the description of the clan challenge as follow:

Play x matches against a clan mate. Reward: 2x Special collectible

„Special collectible“ are (presently) either Ruby or treasure chests collectible cards.

Have fun!

Carnival Special

The Special is from 04.02. until 10.02.
If you do not have challenge and drink beer while training, you get the a special challenge.

We are also adding a surprise to all Special Packs purchased between 04.02. and 10.02.

Well then: Helau, Alaaf and cheers!

Android-Update 7.0.6

Today the latest update for Android appears.

This includes:

  • The three-point menu moves to the right top of the Main Screen (Android standard). This is not active for for previous users, but you can cnage this easily in the profile, new players will receive the new mode as preset
  • internal support for the following soon new features, like the tournaments with k.o. matches
  • Various bugfixes and optimizations
  • Treasure hunt collectibles are now names „special collectibles“. This makes clearer that they do not only contain chest cards but also ruby cards (and in the future maybe even others)

Tactic Guide: Specialist Rating

Today we talk about a slightly different topic.
From time to time, we get messages from disappointed managers because they have lost an important match, even though they had the better specialists rating.
But is a good specialists rating a good tactic?

The answer is simple: No!

Good and bad constellations can give the same strength and specialist rating, but are not equal.
Here is an example:

the obviously bad tactic

the obviously bad tactic

Both constellations have the same specialist rating, but it is clear that the second tactic is the better one.

Additional the simulation analysis considers that the constellation to be better than it actually is and therefore it grades the match result as a surprise which isnt actual one.

We hope this will help you and wish you success building a right tactic!

return matches in tournaments

You have been wondering why there is no return match in Kick It Out? We also and we intend to change that!

Currently this is planned for the next update.
At first, there will be a test Special Cup in this mode, in future the Galaxy Cup, the Universe Cup, Regio Cups and the Clan Cup are planed to get played this way.
For this purpose, suggestions via ingame feedback are welcome to be made, for example, if you believe f.e. that the Clan Cups shouldnt be converted.
We are aware that you have to compete in more matches until the final that cost more strength and stamina. That is why we dont change the regular cups. But: You may be able to retunr a unlucky first match result.
The mode reduces significantly the chance of bad luck!
Of course, the usual European Cup rules apply.
