Thank you for all your feedback so far! We really appreciate the help! The difficulties will remain a work in progress as usual; nothing is final. We are closely monitoring feedback and data to ensure everything feels fair and fun, so keep them coming.
Changes
Veteran and Pro difficulties reduced. We are closely monitoring the data. Keep the feedback coming!
Starting squad stats (Benchwarmers & Angus) have been buffed
Act 1 & 2 teams nerfed OVR stats
Timer Mode re-added. Max Goal is now the hybrid mode, where games can be won either by reaching the goal limit or when the clock expires
Added Nightmare Difficulty (Experimental). This mode is intended for hardcore players, with increased difficulty across the board. We will continue monitoring feedback to ensure it remains fair, but expect a serious challenge. (Note: Nightmare is essentially what Veteran used to be.)
Hits from behind now cause slightly less puck control loss
You can now bodycheck while carrying the puck (Experimental)
AI tweaks to both offense and defense
Added new power-up icons
The Cultists copy 2 relics instead of stealing them. They don't target your starting relic.
