Thanks a mil for all the suggestions!

Yeah I've just officially added the comical GK diving (and missing) for long range shots to the list! Sometimes the GKs also dive backwards depending on which way they're facing so I'll try to fix that too.

In terms of the context action keys, I actually had those originally. On desktop they're still there, I forgot to remove them.

If you press 'I' it will do a low kick, 'K' a long kick and 'L' a handpass. The keys were just randomly chosen while I was testing. I thought it might make the gameplay a bit cumbersome so I went back to the 'Sensible Soccer' style single action key for simplicity.

Similarly I originally had a key press for soloing/hopping the ball but it was a real pain to remember to hit it so I just kept soloing/hopping  as an automatic action.

But I wasn't considering controllers at all when developing this. I'll include separate action keys for desktop/mobile for people using controllers.

The Easy/Medium/Hard modes should slow down/speed up the gameplay somewhat for different users. But I have notice Easy & Medium probably play a little too similarly. I'm not much of a gamer to be honest, but I did notice that popular games like Super Arcade Soccer actually play very slow on mobile. Again I never envisioned this being  a mobile game, I was originally planning it to be desktop only.

But in hindsight given the 'casual' nature of this game it's probably better suited as a mobile game so I will look at enhancements in that area.

Thanks a mil for playing and testing! I really appreciate it. I'll look into those issues.

 Hi all,

Thanks so much for all the support for this game and for trying it out. I hope people are having fun. I plan to keep trying to update the game in my spare time by fixing bugs and adding new features where feasible.

There have been a number of really excellent new feature ideas generated here (some I have already included in the game like watch mode)

Here's a non-exhaustive list of things I hope to add to the game over the next few months

• Support for controllers (although there's a really clever workaround posted on r/gaa here
• Player/team/kit editor functionality
• Improved facility upgrade feature
• More varied news and inbox items 
• Improved financial options 
• A stadium surround for the pitch (had a few goes at this, mostly a disaster) 
• Penalties bug fix (penalties are pretty uncommon in the game but the GK can stand in random places when they occur)
• Stamina bug fix (there seems to be an issue with player's stamina reduction being inherited by other players.
• Bugs in statistics, players showing up as unknown etc. 
• Goalkeepers comically diving for long range shots and missing them resulting in goals.

Any other feature ideas people would like to see? I'd be interested to hear them.

Thanks so much for playing! I'm making a list of future enhancements I'll definitely add player/team customisation to it.

Yeah the experience when playing on mobile web is very laggy. 

 I'd love to make a native ios version but unfortunately I don't have any Apple equipment but I'll see what I can do.

Interesting idea! I'm working on a career mode at the moment I'll see if that could be incorporated into it. The final scores could be very random 😂 

Thanks a lot! I'm going to get working on a career mode.

Thanks a mil for playing! Both are on the agenda.
