Improving 5-4-1

Some of you were very smart and found a 4-4-2 variant which regularly has better stats against 5-4-1 than desired.
We must change this to secure the rock-paper-scissors system which is in place since the february update and works pretty well.
We will improve 5-4-1 in the way that you can use of man-to-man-marker specialists. As there are no „gaps“ to fill in 5-4-1, they will act as improved defenders against the opponent’s attacks. This means that 5-4-1 gets less goals when you use man-to-man-markers.

The new rock-paper-scissors stats are as follows (as always not taking ties into account):

442-541 40:60
541-343 30:70
343-442 35:65

Those values can vary by roughly 5 percent if you or your opponent play different variants.

The additional tactics end up as follows:

433-541 20:80
4231-343 30:70
424-541 10:90

You see that each formation has at least one counter formation. So don’t forget to check your next opponent’s preferred formation and change. This can really make a difference!

The changes will be applied sunday, march 16th, early morning, and will also be edited into our Wiki.

KiO 4.5 for Winphone 7.5

Yesterday, we sent a major update to Microsoft which will be certified and released within the next days. The contents of
this update are as follows:

 

–          All Kio 4 buildings can now be build, including the academy.

–          Coach actions implemented

–          Achievements implemented

–          Championship stars on emblems implemented

–          Top list „cash“ replaced by „platin achievements“

–          A lot of bug fixes

 

All existing top rookie contracts will be transformed into platinum specialist rookie contracts, so that they will be upgradeable.
Old platinum rookie contracts will be transformed into platinum rookie contracts of the new style.
Important to mention is that all buyable packs will be switched with this update. From the update on, the Android packs will
be buyable via WP.
There will be no flags in the new packs anymore. And flags are going to be supported by us only a limited time
after the update. Then they will be deactivated and the only way to get lost of them is to recycle them.

February Update

Next Sunday, the February update appears to Kick it out! for Android, iOS, Win8. There will be adjustments to the simulation and the introduction of its own Kick it Out! Wiki(at the moment only in german), as well as a number of improvements in stability and usability. But see for yourself:

  • Three man defense with no man to man defender will be weakened, because there are not enough defenders. So 424 is playable too. This will boost the scissors paper stone effect.
  • Release of Official Wiki (at the moment just in german)
  • Capital list is replaced by the list of most platinum Achievement medals.
  • Some Changes in the challenges
  • Adjustment / addition to the existing tutorials by a thick, flashing arrow that shows where to click. The secretary and her text are displayed as an overlay.
  • Android: visual revision of some dialogs, eg „Challenge managed“ with „fireworks“ effect and Sounds. Note: New messages appear at the bottom of the screen and in the Team Information Department on the Main Screen.
  • Android: beginners will start again with the 3D screen. The simplified screen with the buttons is maintained.
  • Android: click on the news ticker leads to the Kio magazine.
  • Android: 2 more icons on bigger devices on the Main Screen
  • Upgrade to top-platinum contracts in Academy only with> = 2000 prestige possible
  • Possible failure of activation, if there are more than 5 motivators in the team. The more motivators you have, the more failures. This rule has been introduced to prevent teams from having 10-15 motivators who never actually play, which is obviously not what they are ment to.
  • Rock concert: Prestige is increased by a factor of 2.5
  • new playable Country: Azerbaijan (East Europe League)
  • Limiting the number of usable construction crews out
  • iOS: Features the January update and some bug fixes

Have fun!

Morale Changes

There are two changes to morale rules:

1. The critical defeat morale event does not occur anymore when you lose against clearly stronger teams. This protects beginners from frustrating morale loss. This rule is applied tonight.

2. Beginning with the february update, activating a motivator may fail if you have more than 5. We are undisclosing this early so you can decide if you want to keep or sell extra motivators.

New Special: The Winter Cup

Join the Winter Cup! It starts roughly once an hour with 32 participants and random maximum strength. The lucky winner gets a treasure with a rare item!
Note that each team can win no more than 10 treasures this way.
This special will last until the end of January.
May the snowflake be with you!

Kick it Out! 5.1 Preview

As already announced in the game Kick it Out 5.1 is published this weekend.

The list of changes is as follows :

1. To prevent accidental or deliberate bad lineup in league matches there will be the so-called Coaches Line-up:

If before a league game the team is more than 10 % worse than the best tactic for the setup, the trainer will change the lineup for this game to improve the team and sends a notification message to the manager.

2. Challenge at morale<0: Win 5 games, get +1 morale

3. Readjustment morality Mascot effect: probability for the appearance of the mascot is with player strength divided by best strength scaled, ie 49er AB effect in a 99er team is only about half as strong, 99er full of course.

4. Help pop-up when you tap on the morale on the mainscreen.

5. Scout fields for search.

6. Displays the registration date on team screen.

7. Again additional memory slots for the Cotrainer ( then a total of 5 slots) .

8. Preventing to strong lineups in silver – Friendly lounge.

9. Medal for 1/11/111 UC participations & Medal for 6/66/666 held rock concerts .

 

The update update 5.1 will be available at 01/19/2014 at Play Store for Android smartphones and tablets.

We wish now have fun with the new version!
