Time for another update preview! KiO 9.1 is scheduled for sept, 22.

This update features two changes, one of which is more or less game independent. And yellow.



What you see here is an improved version of the large parking deck (screenshot from a tablet). You will be able to upgrade it to a underground parking with tram station. The tram is of course animated, but the line is only active before a match (when the fans approach your stadium). This building has no further influence on the game, so no free items, no better players, no less sensations. It’s just a more modern building, so build it if you like and don’t if not.

The more important change affects crossings.

That’s right, we are going to do another very small change to the simulation. As with the last update which introduced the Hammer specialists, we are sure that this is a good thing for the game and will not brake any tactics or formations. The motivation for the change is that it does not matter how many crossing and header specialists you have, your opponent can stop them with just one defensive header specialist. So up to seven specialists are nearly completely countered by one. We think that this is not good balancing, so we are going to change it. Starting with the KiO 9.1 update, defensive headers will only stop a certain amount of crossings played. For most matchups, this will not change anything, as most opponents simply do not play that many crossings. Or you win anyway because of higher strength, morale or chosen formation.

But, given equal formations, strength and morale, and an opponent with many crossing and header specialists, you will need two defensive header specialists to stop as many crossings as now stopped with one. This is especially interesting for 343 vs. 343, because in 343 you have not the option to add a second Center Back header (def midfield headers are not counted as defense in this formation). So 343 will become vulnerable to 343 with many crossings. There is more to find out, but we can asure you that in most matches you will not experience any difference, as we did lots of tests. But if you like to try the new options, you now have plenty of time to get the players needed until the update comes.

Here we are at the end of season 409!

While we are busy with some important updates to our other game, Railroad Manager, we of course won’t miss to inform you about this weekend’s ruby special. So, for each purchased pack, you get 3 free ruby extra until monday, midnight CEST.

And now for something completely different. As you know, we ask you for your opinion on certain topics of our game from time to time. Today it’s again time for another survey! This survey’s topic is the rock-paper-scissors system, because we receive lots of totally different input from you, like: „That’s not football, it’s trying to read another one’s thoughts!“ or „Why the heck did I loose, I played the correct formation?“. So here’s your opportunity to tell us what you think. Just answer the brief questions and we’ll see what the results are!

Enter the survey here!

It’s hot in Germany! But of course I’m willing to just leave the pool for a couple of minutes to write this news for you.



Time for some refreshing summer boosts!



This weekend we are running the Hot Summer Cup (during daylight time in europe). Winners get one free +2 summer boost (increases player strength by 2 for 1 day)! The tournament is limited to strength 99 so not only the top teams have good chances to win.

And now back into the POOL!

Welcome to a brief summer issue of KiO Week. We just added the ruby pack awards to the top 10 of the worldcup Kicktipp round. We also started a new prediction game for german Bundesliga: https://www.kicktipp.com/kio-buli-2018/. And another one for the forthcoming UEFA Nations League: https://www.kicktipp.com/kio-nl-2018/. Top 10 finishers will be rewarded with ruby packs at the end of the season. If you join, make sure you use your team name as nickname so we can identify you!

Enough for today, let’s enjoy the summer!

Are you ready? This saturday, shortly after 15 CEST, the KiO World Cup Final tournament will launch!

The KiO World Cup Final tournament will start next saturday around 15:30 CEST, the tournament will be visible in the tournament list much earlier. The final tournament will be played with rematches!

We apologize for the timing problems of the group phase tournaments which made it neccessary to play most of the tournaments on sunday instead of saturday.

Welcome to the end of the season 401! It’s KiO World Cup time, and this means: If you managed to qualify for the group phase, get ready and open the tournaments screen on saturday 15 CEST!

The server will start generating the group phase tournaments shortly after 15 CEST, one after another, so not all groups will take place at the same time. Everybody will be able to watch the groups by pressing the eye button!

The group phase tournaments will be played in league mode, so each team has three matches. Winner and runner-up will get the access pass for the final tournament which takes place next saturday.

Some important things to know: If a team should fail to join your group of four, it will be replaced by a bot. Good for you. But if TWO or more teams fail to show up, the tournament might be cancelled. The one or two teams who joined the tournament will receive tournament passes for the final tournament without having to play. This will be done MANUALLY, but only on monday, because we are not in the office this weekend. Don’t be afraid, you won’t be forgotten and you will get your pass sooner or later!

And one last thing: If place 2 and 3 have exactly the same points, goal difference and scored goals, the random generator will decide who advances to the final tournament. So this does not depend on how the duel between those two teams in question ended, and also our server has no fair play scoring like FIFA has.

If you joined our Kicktipp game, don’t forget to submit your guess for the Worldcup quarter finals today!

Now, enjoy the rest of the season and both World Cups!

What a week! The KiO World Cup qualifiers are now finished. 128 teams managed to reach the group phase, which will be played as normal tournaments on saturday, July 7th, starting shortly after 15 CEST. Note that the tournaments will be started in 5 minute intervals. Make sure you’re there, because you need to join your group manually. If you fail to show up, a bot team will take your place.
