They said so in Plebbit AMA. It boiled down to they want to make it good before a F2P relaunch because they will only have one shot. Problem is they keep making retarded decisions and they just made BP harder to finish (sign of desperation) so maybe the publisher will stop funding before that but that's unlikely since the game sold 3+ million copies, they probably think there's cows to be milked.
On the other hand before I stopped playing I often saw some retards with paid skins so who knows how much money the game is actually making past the initial purchase.

Personally gonna do some private lobbies with my poorfag friends, it's a fun party game but the competitive aspect leaves a lot to be desired. Also who knows >when< it will go F2P, they haven't given any sort of ETA. Could be before the end of this year, could be in 2027. The most logical thing would be gunning for a release during the World Cup, but they are still missing some key features for football normalfags (making clubs, tourneys n shieet)

Nothingburger roadmap but I bet the big "SPECIAL EVENT" is going F2P.

Released way too early full of bugs + missed some features + footy fans don't pay for vidya unless it's FIFA or GTA
Also there's a big disconnect between the hardcore competitive part of the community and the overwhelming majority that just want to play this like a party game and LARP as a Blue Lock character, sadly in this game they have to interact instead of being segregated like in Rocket League. Plus devs are nerfing exploits (good) but also not giving more options to do fun plays, so the meta is closer to regular football than an arcade game.

Bad release + no crossplay. Kepler got too greedy after E33, but Sloclap is also probably retarded.
If the F2P relaunch (if it's this year) doesn't poomp the numbers it's gonna be EoS or on life support next year. Also fuck those retards for adding weekly and daily challenges.

I am on my 11th straight loss because the only games I get now are either
>new player cherry picks, stands afk near the other team's goalie, and spams call ball the second any teammate gets the ball.
and/or
>coordinated group of sweats who just have one person stand in the penalty arc and wait for a pass because the broken priority system means they will get a clear shot more than half the time.
The second one is noticeably infuriating. They just stand there because they know they do not have to try to get open, the priority system will just give them a free shot. The only counter is using the dive button works or hope that the goalie predicts it.

I swear the only new players this game gets are the people you never want in a match.
>cherry pick.
>always begs for the ball.
>never passes.
>take shots outside of the box that are easy as day for the goalie to save.
>refuse to play goalie, run out of the box.
Add in all the other new player elements (can't dribble, can't defend, overuse sliding tackle) and having a new player on your team just makes the game almost as unenjoyable as having the sweaty animation exploiters.

They are also adding (at some point) goalie deflects aka the ball will bounce off the goalie instead of him taking possession, so expect a lot of people to shoot directly at goalies for deflection shots.
