Phase Play - changelog ====================== 2.9.0 - Two new kicks, in the kicking strategy and as calls during a match: - Space Down The Middle: long into the gap between their line and the full back, picking the depth with the most room; a grubber through the middle near their line. - Into The Corners: lands it in the field near their line by the touchline and lets it run on, to the corner they have left emptiest; a grubber for the corner from close in. - The defensive line is not always set: between phases defenders jog back into position at a speed that depends on their pace and fitness, quick ball is played at once, and otherwise the scrum half waits only a moment. About two rucks in five now start with three or more defenders still out of position. 2.8.1 - The international tournament is now the Global Cup everywhere: the International screen, national-job objectives, fixtures, news and the roll of honour. Saved games are updated when they load. - The squads-file help for the League column now uses the game's own names: the Premier Division, the second tier (First Division), the French League, the Atlantic League and Invited. Files that say Premiership, Championship, Top 14 or URC still load as before. - New notice on the title screen and the About page: "Clubs, players and competitions are fictional. National teams appear by country name only. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any governing body." - Unchanged: the countries, the Six Crowns and grand slam, the Continental Cup, the rules and formats, the fictional clubs, squad-file upload and name and stat editing. 2.8.0 - Transfer market: filters for age, rating, potential and attribute minimums; a Potential column. - Carriers pass to a team-mate in space when about to be tackled. - Breakdown: proper clear-outs and contests; far fewer holding-on penalties. - Advantage lasts until something real is gained. 2.7.0 - Expansive plan uses the moves library, with a different board for each quarter of the match. - Any plan can have a board per quarter ("Change by time"). 2.6.0 - 2.6.1 - Moves library of 11 tested moves, built in and as an importable file; tick which moves to bring in. - Up to 12 of your own moves. 2.5.0 - 2.5.1 - Export and import tactics and moves as a file. - International match load counted separately from club load; load bars on the national screens. 2.4.0 - 2.4.1 - Nobody fatigued for the first game of a tournament or tour; players back from injury tire quicker. - Last-5 form bar wherever players are picked (club games green/blue/red, internationals gold/silver/bronze). 2.3.0 - A singled-out defender is run at more and tires faster. 2.2.0 - Load a squads file from the title screen before starting a game. 2.1.0 - 2.1.1 - National squad board grouped by position with counts; national team sheet fits a phone. 2.0.0 - 2.0.1 - Other leagues, the Continental Cup and Continental Shield; squads files with a League column. 1.0.0 - 1.3.0 - First release, then: copy and edit moves, cross-field kicks, the play shown on the pitch, box kicks to touch, quick throw-ins, lineout plays that go forward, offside at kicks.
