AFC2020 has been receiving updates between every day or 48 hours or so the past week trying to get the game closer to being out of early access! Lots of obscure crash points have been fixed, and a lot of bugs worked out.
There's still some reported issues that haven't been fixed, especially around the match engine, so that's going to be the focus going forward into this week. The one that's been most reported is players running off the field entirely during kick-ins.
Look out for more changes over the coming week!
Here's a full list of all the changes:
