Coming up next

Dear managers!

Today’s article circles around some insights concerning the near future of goalunited PRO, as wished by many of you.

Some words ahead regarding announcements: For us it is always kind of difficult to announce new features too early, because often it happens, that we are forced to change details or the date could not be kept. This leads to frustration on all sides. So, don´t take long term announcements concerning software as granted ;-)

We are planning new features in a rough schedule about one year in advance, and we have a more detailed plan for six months. The exact release dates are scheduled at some point while production, when we are sure that we can actually do it in time. Software development is highly complex and often hard to predict, especially because we want to react on current developments, feedback, and bugs.

But what is coming up within the next months:

We are currently working on the 1 on 1 Feature. This is based on the United 1 on 1 system known from goalunited LEGENDS but it will be changed in some points and is planned to have a higher focus in PRO. You can always start a 1 on 1 match by challenging another manager or by automatic opponent search.  The 1 on 1 matches will take place in the live-ticker with 6x-speed. For each win you will get ladder points, by which you can compare and compete in a ranking. Additionally you get a random reward for each win, for instance a card, some STARS, money or a little bonus for a player. Also there will be a 1 on 1 cup with new trophies, which will differ totally from the LEGENDS cup-system.

Also new: 1 on 1 tickets. You will get them on a daily basis and you can use them as an alternative to STARS to initiate a 1 on 1.

We won´t launch the 1 on 1 system containing all features from the start, but it will be completed step by step. The reason is, that we want to share new playable features as soon as possible with you.

Simultaneously we are working on the International Masters Screen, so the first Masters can start in the 2^nd season as scheduled. This screen will look and feel almost the same like in LEGENDS. The National Cup Screen, who is very similar, will follow a bit later.

The goalwall from LEGENDS will not appear in PRO in that way. But we are preparing something new: a Fortune Booth with great new winning opportunities.

Other features like Merchandising and Achievements are not forgotten, they will be done later, which also goes for Career, Mail, Statistics, and Rankings.

In the next article we will tell you more about the upcoming 1 on 1 system.

Feature Updates September 2015

Dear Managers,

time for a little update in terms of goalunited PRO and goalunited LEGENDS development!

First of all, there is an upcoming feature update shortly, containing Contact screen and Friendslist.

With Contact you will get a manager profile page. On that page you can see name and picture, his language and club names. In addition, you can invite or ignore friends. At a later point, you will get more related information about a manager, challenge him for an 1on1 match or write him a message.

In the new friend list you will find all your accepted friend requests and all open requests. The list is linked to your account – means, if you have more than one club you will have this same list in all your clubs. In addition to the name of your manager friend you can check on the club name, the league and the career level. At a later point you can quick jump to the contact page of your friend as well as dueling him directly in a 1on1 match!

In addition to that, we are working on the next feature update that will contain the 1on1 Ad-hoc matches, were you can play against friends or random opponents, a faster live ticker and random awards for wins. The 1on1 ladder will show all user rankings for these matches and will increase the competitions!

Beside these game related updates we are happy to announce that we are working on a transfer tool for your Stars and Premium-Days from goalunited LEGENDS to goalunited PRO. We cannot tell you a specific release date but it should come soon. Here are some more details of what you can expect:

With this upcoming transfer tool you can migrate your STARS and Premium-Days from goalunited LEGENDS to goalunited PRO if you want.

- You can generate a voucher code that can be redeemed in goalunited PRO only.

- You can decide to transfer 50% or 100%.

- You can only transfer STARS that you bought originally.

- You can only transfer the Stars that you bought BEFORE we start the transfer-tool.

- The voucher code will be send to the e-mail address that is linked to your account

- You can create one voucher per account.

That´s it for today. We hope you are enjoying the Juventus Stadium that we included in both games and mentioned the little updates in the Stadium section.

Wish you all a lot of fun and some exciting matches!

News overload

Welcome managers!

A lot of stuff to tell this time from a busy development team at northworks.

First of all: goalunited LIVE will see the light of day very soon on your smartphone for both iOS and Android devices. The companion app is actually ramping up for the app stores and is available shortly or is already there. Check it out!

On the other hand, there are no news to report on the fully playable tablet version. We will inform you as soon as we can determine a release date for you.

In the meantime we can tell you what comes next in goalunited PRO. With the release of goalunited LIVE we bring you the following changes:

• Different stadium background with some additions
• Friendly matches – all clubs who no longer participate in the national cup will get friendly matches scheduled for the following Monday. There your players can gain experience, you can test setups and you have some income through the stadium.
• Benfica Eagles Academy – After you build the first youth structure you can upgrade to the Benfica Eagles Academy. This upgrade uncovers the talent of any observed youth player on his first match day. Also: the slot is already fully trained!
• Several quest optimizations including a new Welcome-Message, a much earlier starting first test-match and a smoother handling of the quest system.
