Season Pass &
National Team

34 commits, +20,851 lines. v3.7 turned DeckBall into a footballer life sim. v3.8 gives that life progression and identity — a Season Pass that banks every match, cosmetics you actually earn, a road to the World Cup, and the fix for the one bug that made players feel cheated.

In v3.7 we pushed DeckBall past the pitch — a dating app, NPCs with opinions, a career with a beginning and an end. v3.8 takes that life and gives it two things it was missing: a sense of progression, and a sense of identity. Now every match and every training session banks onto a track, and the rewards you unlock are yours to wear.

Major Features
01

Season Pass

New System

The headline of v3.8. Two tracks — Free and Premium — running side by side, with persistent, global progression that carries across your whole career. Every level is 150 XP, VIP players get an XP multiplier, and each tier unlocks a cosmetic reward. Your matches and training finally add up to something you can see.

  • Two tracks: Free and Premium
  • Persistent, global progression — 150 XP per level
  • VIP XP multiplier
  • Cosmetic rewards unlocked at every tier
02

Cosmetics

New Tab

A brand-new Cosmetics tab where you equip everything you earn from the Season Pass. Profile frames (bronze, silver, gold), player kits, goal celebrations (a wave, a backflip, a robot dance), and card backs (blue, synthwave neon, legendary gold). When you score, do you backflip or break into the robot? That's your call now.

  • Profile frames — bronze / silver / gold
  • Player kits and card backs (blue / synthwave neon / legendary gold)
  • Goal celebrations: wave / backflip / robot dance
  • Unlock from the Season Pass, equip from the new tab
03

National Team & World Cup

New Content

Midway through a career, an invitation arrives at your door — represent your country at the World Cup, or stay focused on your club. We added group-stage mechanics and refreshed national-team strengths so the world map feels alive. And one important rule: in a national match, your club manager's trust no longer applies, so you start on merit.

  • Mid-career national team invitations (accept / focus on club)
  • World Cup group-stage mechanics
  • Updated national team strengths
  • Club-manager trust no longer benches you in national matches
04

Web Shop (Xsolla)

New System

You can now buy gems and subscriptions straight from the website, powered by Xsolla. Purchases are matched back to your account securely through a neutral in-game Player ID — no login sharing, no guesswork. Behind it sits a Cloud Function webhook that delivers what you bought directly into your game.

  • Gems and subscriptions purchasable from the web
  • Secure matching via a neutral in-game Player ID
  • Cloud Function webhook for delivery
  • End-of-match ad and an in-app review prompt
Content Expansion

20+ New Nationalities

Canada, Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Senegal, Croatia, Ukraine and more — over 20 new nationalities, fully integrated into character creation.

Marriage & Dating

The marriage and dating flow got a major expansion — dozens of new activities and dialogues, localised across all 8 languages.

Lifestyle Bonuses

Lifestyle items now pay out weekly passive bonuses — income and morale that tick along in the background of your career.

Events & Card Pool

The event system and card pool were reworked and grown, with new pre-match atmosphere commentary to set the scene before kickoff.

Key Fixes

The thing we're proudest of in v3.8 isn't a feature — it's trust. We tore out the infamous “0% success chance” bug at the root: the one where you'd see 91% on the selection screen and then 0% on the result. The percentage you see is now exactly the dice's real odds, and every hidden bonus — synergy, combo, cleats, captain, marriage — is transparent on the selection screen too.

  • 0% success chance — fixed — the most perception-breaking bug in the game. Displayed odds now equal real odds, with all bonuses shown up front.
  • “Türkiye → turkey” — fixed the embarrassing mistranslation (German / Spanish / Italian / Portuguese) and scrubbed stray Turkish text that had leaked into other languages. 🦃→🇹🇷
  • National-match starting XI — fixed accidentally starting on the bench; club manager trust no longer carries into national matches.
  • Cup & Season Pass math — fixed a cup fixture bug, the Season Pass max-level percentage calculation, and version sync.
Polish
  • Single colour-palette discipline — 39 raw colours bound to tokens, with a unifying night overlay across the hub cards.
  • Header indicators — a Season Pass badge, gem count, and pending-reward indicator, plus a localised HOME/AWAY badge.
  • 100% translation coverage — all 8 languages fully synced across 1,582 keys.
What's Next

Next up: smaller visual polish (page backgrounds) and more content on top of the systems v3.8 just laid down. With the Season Pass, cosmetics, and the national-team road now in place, there's a lot of room to keep building identity into a career.

If you're jumping into v3.8, take the World Cup invitation when it lands — and check the selection screen. That percentage finally tells the truth.
