UFL Patch 0.60.1 Features Ball Physics Improvements, Foul Detection Fix and More

UFL patch 0.60.1 has been released today, bringing several gameplay enhancements to improve realism and accuracy. A key update is the adjustment to the ball’s rebound physics, specifically its interaction with the goal frame, posts and crossbar. This change increases the rebound force, resulting in more natural ball behavior. The team refined foul detection to better handle scenarios where the goalkeeper saves the ball after a foul has been committed, ensuring fouls are correctly registered.

The patch also includes improvements to player behavior during ball interceptions, particularly for throw-ins using the Y-button pass. Goalkeeper actions have been optimized with updated save algorithms, reducing the likelihood of deflecting the ball directly to an opposing striker. For a full list of changes and improvements in today’s update, check out the patch notes below.

AI ASSIST, BOT

• Kick-Off Exploit Removed: The ability to execute an easy through pass behind defenders immediately after kick-off has been fixed.

  • The defensive line now positions itself closer to the goal after kick-off to enhance defensive stability.
  • Defenders actively track attacking players making runs for long passes after the ball is played from the center, ensuring better marking and response.
• Free Kick Positioning Adjustment: Player positioning for short passes during free kicks has been corrected. Players no longer obstruct the shooting line toward the goal.
• Goalkeeper Interception Adjustments:
  • Goalkeepers’ ability to step up to the edge of the penalty area during interceptions has been limited.
  • Improved prediction algorithms determine if the goalkeeper will reach the ball first. Now, goalkeepers attempt interceptions only when they can reach the ball before any other player.
• Position Recovery Fix: Fixed goalkeeper behavior when out of position. When returning to the goal, the goalkeeper now prioritizes a closer position to the goal line.
• Defense Line Fixes:
  • Resolved excessive narrowing of the defensive line during shots on goal.
  • Fixed abrupt directional changes of the defensive line following aerial passes.
• Offside System Refinement: The offside system has been refactored. Offside lines are now recalculated during replays to provide more accurate visual representation.
• Standard Situation Improvements: Bot behavior during set pieces—including corners, free kicks, goal kicks, and throw-ins—has been corrected for better tactical execution.
