Changes due to your feedback

Allgemein, News

As you know, all of our changes to the game are based on your requests, but always on a test basis as well. After the mostly positive feedback on the changes to the Clan Championship, for example, we will make some minor adjustments on 1 December to make the gaming experience more enjoyable for even more players. Specifically, this means that

Hourly Clan Cups will also be held again in the morning.

Of course, this means that we have to reduce the number of points for the winners and runners-up in the Clan Cups again, to 6/3 points. Why 6/3 of all things? First of all, only an even number comes into question for the winner, so that we don’t have to deal with half points for the runners-up. Furthermore, I think it is easy to see that the points from the Clan Cups still have (too) much importance, and thus large clans continue to have an excessive advantage, which frustrates others because, statistically, they win a large number of CCs due to their numerical superiority. That’s why 8/4 points were out of the question.

The second change concerns the seasonal pack. When we added the limited specialist (and the associated specialist training), we removed the normal specialist training, firstly because of the constant overall value and secondly to avoid confusion. We will now bring back the normal specialist training on 1.12.

EDIT: We also prevent multiple teams in the same household (same IP/router address) from joining important tournaments (the great saturday and clan cups) as we already did for leagues and player transfers. Also we are going to improve the Finisher limited specialists a bit and introduce home and away matches in the Super Clan Cups.

We are sure that these small adjustments are in the interest of the vast majority. We believe that it is a good idea to pull together in a gaming community like ours as well. Therefore, we invite ALL players to continue to help develop the game. With objective suggestions, kindly expressed wishes, and fair cooperation. I have to be so blunt about this, although it should be self-evident, because unfortunately there are players who only see their own advantage, but who do not succeed in taking our perspective, who look at the WHOLE game. And that means that we want to please as many people as possible in order to continue to enjoy our traditional, successful game, which has been declared dead time and again, in the future. Thank you and best regards!

PS: Don’t forget to get your advent calendar in the shop! This time there are some different items behind the doors! Have fun opening them!

Announcing Kick it out! 2025

Allgemein, News

We are proud to present the new features of the big update that will be released at the end of October. As always, the changes are based on your suggestions and requests. Here we go!

  • Clan Championship: To prevent the Clan Championship from being decided too early in the season and thus becoming boring due to the massive participation of large clans in most Clan Cups, we are reducing the number of points for winners and finalists to 10/5. In addition, three Clan Cups will be held daily as Super Clan Cups, in which only one team per clan may participate (‘one-for-all rule’ as in the Clan Master Cup) with 30/15 points reward. In addition, the unpopular clan duels in the lounge will be abolished. We hope that this will make the CM more exciting again, which should ultimately be in everyone’s interest. If not, we will make some adjustments.
  • Ü32 Cup: Similar to the U21 Cup, there will be an ‘Old Boys Cup’ for players aged 32 and over several times a day. Similar to the U21 Cup, up to 5 younger players may be fielded. There will also be a new medal for the winners of the new O32 Cup (which, appropriately, has a beard). The O32 Cup is called the Ü32 Cup in German. Since not many clubs will have a suitable team at first, the tournament will initially only take place a few times a day, with the option of more frequent dates over time.
  • Limited specialists: We will regularly introduce new specialists, but they will only be available for a limited time (hence ‘limited’). The first one is the Finisher, who only exists as attacker and has a significantly increased shot power compared to normal strikers.
  • Important: The Finisher doesn’t shoot on goal more often than other strikers, only better. This means that he is only useful in offensive tactics (442/433/424) in which shots on goal are frequent. However, he counts towards the special rating regardless of the tactics set. You can setup as many finishers as you like, but a maximum of four (in 424) makes sense.
  • Important: The limited specialist is only available as an expensive strength 100 player on the transfer list (for teams with a lot of money), via scout discoveries (for teams with less money) and a special specialist training that will only be available in the November/December season pack (pay-to-win). The game otherwise does not generate finishers, not even with normal or selective specialist training and not otherwise in the academy. The limited specialists are deliberately very rare and not available in any number desired. At the beginning of January, another limited specialist will appear and the Finisher will no longer appear for the time being (but existing Finisher specialist training items will of course remain). By the way, you are welcome to send suggestions for interesting specialists to the support team!
  • Angry fans: Sometimes, frustrated clubs sell their squad in the middle of the season. While this is understandable to some extent, it is completely unrealistic and can clearly distort the competition. We have come up with the ‘angry fans’ as a realistic consequence. They appear when you lose a game in the first division with a strength of less than 90 starting from level 30. As long as you have angry fans, spectator interest is significantly reduced, i.e. significantly fewer spectators come to the stadium (with unchanged ticket prices). The angry fans will disappear on their own after 30 days, or you can sacrifice a fan club to get rid of them. You can only have one group of angry fans at a time. The angry fans are not a penalty. They are a reminder that, as a sportsman and manager, you should never act against your own club (and the fans) or against general fair play rules, no matter how frustrated you may be.
  • National Specials: The platinum medal for winning national specials will now require only 250 instead of 1000 tournament victories. However, it should be noted that long-term motivation is definitely useful, because if everyone had all the new medals after just a few weeks, it would be boring again right away.
  • Campaigns: The benefits of the campaigns that can be purchased for K$ (book tour, Tiktok, etc.) are each doubled. We actually wanted to introduce two new campaigns, but we’ll wait and see at what price they are interesting enough. Although the luxury campaigns are intentionally very expensive, enough teams have that much dough. Try it out, because the high account balance alone is of no use.
  • Cosmetic fixes: We have improved many small things, e.g. tapping the Weak SSP icon now displays a suitable text, the trophies are sorted more meaningfully in the team display, and the chat window has been revised. There are also technical updates in the background that Google regularly enforces and cause work that you don’t even notice.

We are sure that you will love the big 2025 update and hope you have fun. See you on the fields!

Announcement: Kick it out! 24

News

On 4 November, the big annual update of our game will be released: Kick it out! 24

There will be several minor or major innovations, but the core of the game will remain untouched.

New rule: League participation restriction for households. Due to frequent complaints and time-consuming suspicion checks, starting with this update, we are preventing teams on the same network (i.e. household) from registering for the same league (i.e. country and division). Bypassing this restriction is therefore considered a rule violation. Once again: Participants in the same household (family, flat-sharing community, but also second teams of the same manager, etc.) are prohibited from participating in one and the same league. We ask for your understanding for this measure. We are sure that the enjoyment of the game will not suffer if people within the family only meet in tournaments or friendly matches. Big advantage: As a family, you no longer have to feel exposed to the blanket suspicion of „arranging“ league games because you don’t meet each other at all. More relaxed playing for everyone!

New coach action: Set up team. In future, you can let the coach set up the team. A feature that really exists in every football manager game is now also available in KiO. It is certainly interesting, especially for beginners, to see how the coach sets up the team. By the way, the set tactics remain untouched. Of course, every experienced manager is free not to use the new coach action!

New campaigns

The biggest news is the new advertising campaigns. There are several of them, and we will not present them all in detail here. Basically, the following applies to each campaign:

You can buy the campaign in the shop. Attention: The campaigns are very, very expensive. That is on purpose! They are there so that extremely rich teams have a way to shell out their money for at least somewhat useful things. Having an extremely high capital is not a useful goal for a football manager. So you can finally invest your dough!

You can only have one campaign at a time. This restriction is necessary so that extremely rich teams can’t take advantage of multiple benefits in a short period of time.

Campaigns run for 2 or 3 days. You need to have level 20 (for the „coach memoires“ campaign) or 30 (all others) to see the new campaigns in the shop.

During this time, campaigns grant small benefits (but not in simu!). The advantages are intentionally small so that rich teams do not suddenly have a huge advantage over others.

Here is an example of one of the new promotional campaigns:

As you can easily see, this is a „Tiktok advertising campaign“. It simply generates a certain number of talent points during the runtime of three days. Exactly how many and when is a bit random, and we are not revealing the exact value at the moment, nor the price. Only this much: it’s a three-digit million amount. That’s a lot! You are therefore faced with the decision of whether or not you want to shell out the money for a small pile of talent points. Your free decision!

We will start with six new campaigns. We may be due for a readjustment, and possibly more campaigns will be added in the foreseeable future. Because we don’t think much of you having tens of billions lying around and not knowing where to put it. Now we are creating an opportunity to invest large amounts of capital in a realistic way. We are sure that the majority of you will find this useful and interesting!

KiO World Cup 2023

News

Of course, the big KiO World Cup will again take place this year!

The start is on 23 June.

As always, there are 192 qualifying groups in knockout mode every day between 10 am and 10 pm, the winners qualify for the group stage (you can participate as often as you like until you qualify). The qualifiers run until mid-July, so I’m sure everyone will find time to participate at some point. We end the qualifying phase again with a Youtube video showing the group draw.

The group stage will probably take place on Saturday, 5 August: 32 groups of 6 in league mode with first and second legs, 1st and 2nd place will advance to the final round. There will be no more than one team from the same clan per group if possible!

The grand final day is expected to be 19 August: 64 teams will play the winner in knockout mode with second legs.

Good luck and have fun with the preparation!

Announcement: Kick it out 23

Allgemein, News

On the occasion of our game’s 13th birthday on 21 May, KiO 23 will be released!

We are expanding the game with interesting aspects and carrying out necessary technical renovations.

New: Monthly specials

There will be monthly Nation Specials, initially alternating between Spain, Italy, England, France and Germany. These are regular knockout tournaments that run several times a day with one special feature: you must setup at least 3 players from the respective country! As special rewards, tournament winners will receive two (final losers one) new collectibles, 11 of which can be exchanged for a top platinum player from the respective country. So it’s worth taking part! There are also new medals for winning nations tournaments. Alongside with this innovation, you will be able to choose new player’s home country when activating rookie contracts in the academy (from a selection).

New: Donate your stock

We know that many of you have hundreds of items in your inventory that you will never use up. Instead of recycling them, you will be able to donate piles of these items. You won’t get anything out of this apart from a new medal, but others will: Ludetis will announce donation goals each time. As soon as a certain number of items has been donated in total by all users, Ludetis will donate a fixed amount of money to a previously announced charity organisation! We will announce the details at the start.

Technical changes

Due to frequent problems with location detection (not only technical, but also due to Google’s complicated data protection regulations) and the impractical mechanisms on the device, we will in future only carry out location tracking on the server side. For this purpose, your IP number will be evaluated – an inaccurate but technically unproblematic procedure. We will only know the city you are in (sometimes even this is only approximately correct) – but this is sufficient for our needs, firstly to check in which RegioCup you belong and secondly to check for multi-account abuse (done only in case of suspicion). Other changes concern bug fixes and the updating of components that the game needs. Such things are not visible to the outside world, but unfortunately cause a lot of work. Therefore, even more innovations in this update are not possible. We ask for your understanding.

We are looking forward to the big update with you and are working hard to make it a fun experience!
