Passing Frenzy

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
It's been a busy holiday for us and we're excited to bring you one last update before the new year! This time we're focusing on improving the passing game and we can't wait to hear what you think!

This all started with us seeing some things with the passing game that we weren't 100% satisfied with for some time now. As usual, we started down a path and found ourselves knee deep working on more than expected. Fast forward to now and we think we have some nice editions to the difficulty and realism of the passing game we think our community will enjoy.

Checkout the passing update video above for a full briefing on the changes...

Ball carrier now gets dodge tackle boost when partially charged where before they needed to be fully charged in order to receive any boost.

Fixed issue when setting kick or punt returners during a game and original player stays as the returner.
Fixed issue where Quarterback would be ruled as sacked when crossing the line of scrimmage, then running behind the line of scrimmage and being tackled.

Fresh Paint

As part of our recent run of holiday season 🎅 updates, we just had to add in the ability to update player glove colors along with a fresh paint of default team colors. Until now, player glove colors had to be manually updated per player. Now you can do it globally for all teams when editing team colors.

One of our Legend Bowlers on Discord posted some really nice default jersey concepts, so we hand picked some of these cool jerseys and put them into our game as defaults. We love them and hope you like them as well!
