Patch v0.1.2.6
Hey everyone! This patch includes MANY gameplay improvements on the field, a new kicking meter difficulty setting for those who need to adjustments to match their skill levels, a streamlined color database to improve the roster editing process, and much much more!
Only downside is we'll need to reset your data so you WILL lose any custom saves or progress you've made in Career and Tournament modes. We are trying to get this firmed up as early as possible so we don't need to worry about such drastic updates down the road when the game is further along and you REALLY won't want to lose your progress.
We truly apologize for any inconvenience, but at least updates are happening rapidly and the game is advancing so guess that's not the worst thing! Okay, now onto the details of this patch!
Gameplay Improvements
- Default roster ratings and colors have been updated. More variety with Kickers and Punters.
- Quarterback speed has been redistributed to have more disparity between athletic speedy vs slow players.
- Quarterbacks scrambling has been improved to scramble more often with faster players.
- Quarterbacks were too powerful when running so we took care of that problem!
- Interception logic improved for more realistic results.
- Receiver and Defensive Back interactions are getting better and have improved to give defenders a better shot at defending passes.
- Added NEW swat animation with the "defend pass" button for defenders to try to break up a pass.
- Floaty passes to receivers in a crowd are not as successful as in previous builds.
- Fixed CPU ball carrier spin move repeating during a run.
- CPU stiff arm direction should point to closest defender side vs away from them.
- We separated the kicking difficulty into its own setting now for people who want to fine tune their kicking difficulty without sacrificing gameplay difficulty.
- We've separated our color databases for less colors per group (jerseys, skin, hair, visor, etc). Now it's much faster to edit players and teams because you will have much less colors to scroll through. We also will leave all of our default colors in so your team jerseys stay intact and won't get changed. Click here for more information regarding the color updates.
- Fixed some player sprite colors that should have been shadows, but were showing jersey colors.
- Fixed issue when resetting to default rosters, player colors wouldn't reflect change until restarting game.
- Fixed Division names not being reflected properly when edited from the "savedata.ini" file.
- Main menu label "ROSTERS" changed to "TEAM EDITOR".
- Coach sprite wasn't updating to currently selected team when first going into NEW Tournament screen.
- Career mode USER games now have the option to be watched.
- Fixed issue where game would get stuck if you happen to hike the ball at the same time a penalty occurs.
