The Scout

The Ball-Kicking Boots are a promotional cosmetic item for the Scout. They are a pair of team-colored football (soccer) socks and cleats.

When equipped, a team-colored football adorned with all nine class emblems can spawn with the player. This ball can be knocked around in a similar fashion to the Beach Ball from Birthday mode. Scout's footstep noises are also changed to resemble those of running with cleats.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Football Manager 2012 on Steam before October 21, 2011.

Football

Footballs are props that can spawn on maps when a Scout equipped with the Ball-Kicking Boots spawns in for the first time. Only one football from each team can be present at one time, for a total of two footballs at once. Footballs can also appear for the duration of "Waiting for Players" period.

Once spawned, a football remains on the map for the remainder of the round, including humiliation. The football does not despawn if the player changes class or team and cannot be respawned if knocked into an inaccessible place such as a pitfall.

Like the Birthday mode beach ball, footballs can be knocked around anywhere around the map by most attacks. Different methods apply different knockback to the ball, such as explosions knocking the ball far away, melee attacks knocking the ball back a decent amount, and the Short Circuit knocking the ball back a slight amount. Some attacks have no effect at all, including Crusader's Crossbow and regular syringes, arrows, and Pyro's flares.

When a football touches a Payload Cart, it is knocked away, sometimes flying away at great speed.
