Patch 1.0.3.20
Patch 1.0.3.20 introduces the new behavior system, new visual stances, and important balance changes that help the game feel more dynamic and rewarding.
New Behavior System
We've added in a completely new report system. Starting with this patch, reporting players now carries penalties from voice and text communication mutes to matchmaking cooldowns and game bans.
If you see someone being toxic, please report them so we can keep improving our community!
Stance System
We are introducing stances to the game. At the beginning of each play, you will assume a stance based on the position you are playing.
- Offensive Linemen will take up a 3 point stance.
- Defensive Linemen will take up a 4 point stance.
- Wide Receivers will take up a 2 point stance.
- Defensive secondary players will take up a 2 point stance unless they are playing on the line.
Balance Changes
- Shields no longer block your own teammates.
- Added a little bit of control to your character while in the air.
- Added the ability to jump out of a slide resulting in a carry of horizontal momentum into the jump.
- Added the ability to dive out of a slide.
- Reduced the distance of a dive.
- Increased the speed of diving.
- Dive no longer uses or requires stamina.
- Removed the ability for Defensive linemen to free roam on defense. The secondary is still allowed to free roam when that option is enabled.
- Added ineligible receivers to the competitive custom match ruleset.
General Changes
- Added a mercy rule that prevents the clock from stopping if the game is in a blowout.
- Moved the goal post back further so that players cant collide with it during play.
- Added a whistle at the end of each play.
- Added persistence to the chat channel you were last using.
- Disabled the AFK timer if the game is paused.
- Added the ability to change quarter length in custom matches.
Bug Fixes
- Fix a bug causing extra plays to run after the clock has reached 0:00
- Fixed a bug where a punting team touches the ball they punted in the end zone and forces the other team to start the next play inside the end zone.
- Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the ball to curve after it was thrown.
- Fixed incorrect spelling of Offense in the scoreboard.
- Fixed a bug where the clock was not stopping on change of possession.
- Fixed a bug causing a change of possession on third down when the quarter changes.
- Fixed a bug that allowed a team to call a timeout at the end of the half time and gave the offense the ball for an offensive play instead of kicking off.
