NNT Catch Up

Neo Soccer kicked off the third season of its three leagues, adding new features to the soccer management game including penalty shootouts, bits, and consumables. Before the most recent update, if a Cup match ended in a draw, the win would automatically go to the visiting team. Moving forward, Cup matches that end in a draw will be settled by penalty kicks. Bits are an additional in-game currency that can be spent on the platform. Users can earn bits for performing in-game activities, owning a NEO-BITS NFT, and contributing to Neo Soccer by making marketing materials, videos, and guides. Lastly, consumables can improve player, manager, and stadium attributes or be used to change the names of any of these entities.
