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...

Again, please continue to report any bugs on our Discord channel if you want to help! Thank you for your support, and for playing Legend Bowl!!

📢 Thank you to everyone for reporting issues and bugs from this last update!

Throwing while your Quarterback is moving has been dramatically improved for more challenge when throwing with less skilled & mobile (speed >= 85) players and also when throwing across your body to the opposite side of the field.
CPU throw accuracy adjusts more based on game difficulty setting.
Balls thrown out of bounds are no longer confined to sideline marker.
Increased affects wind has on ball to add a bit more challenge when throwing.
NEW passing difficulty setting found under the (Settings > Difficulty > Passing) menu which controls if Quarterbacks get accuracy penalties when throwing on the move.
NEW passing sounds, skill popup, and camera shakes added for skill error, whiff, and duck throws.

Kicking difficulty can be changed in pause menu now.
Defensive lineman swat ball now based on skill level and frequency decreased for less swats as they were a bit to high. They should no longer block the ball when diving as well.

Attempt to fix issue where defender misses tackle yet no text popup appears.

If you experience any bugs or issues please report them here or more preferably in our Discord where you can chat with the community, report bugs, or give feedback on the game.

As always, if you've enjoyed the game so far and like what you're seeing out of the game it would be great if you can leave a review on Steam!

[h3]Patch Version 1.0.1.4[/h3]

Small Update

This patch includes some fixes and gameplay tuning to round out the recent number of patches. Enjoy!

Tackler now gets tackle boost when partially charged where before they needed to be fully charged in order to receive any boost.
Ball carrier now gets dodge tackle boost when partially charged where before they needed to be fully charged in order to receive any boost.
Charging with a defender increases chance to intercept a pass.
Fumbles now have a negative impact if ball carrier is charging and has an increase in fumble chance if tackler is charging.

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!

Alternate Jerseys

Some small updates and fixes from the previous Alternate Jerseys patch release. Enjoy!

Fixed export stats crash when flag is set to export stats and game ends.
Team Photo helmet colors now change as you cycle through uniforms.
Removed menu sound on pause screen when at top or bottom of menu.
Game matchup intro players now have numbers on jerseys.

Alternate Jerseys Release

Hey Legend Bowlers!

This update came from one of our Discord users who suggested making alternate jerseys for teams. We always wanted this in the game, but the work was always too much to prioritize because it touches hundreds of files across the game's code.

Well fast forward and somehow we said let's do it and put our heads down and grinded through the task. This may not seem like a monumental task, but the game's core was never meant to handle more than 2 uniforms types. Not only that, but the Team Editor screen also needed updating to accommodate this new uniform type.

Lastly, converting current user data in the form of custom rosters, season and tournament files needed to be done in order to preserve people's hard work. When you first download this update any custom rosters will be loaded with these new alternate uniforms by copying your away uniform to your newly slotted alternate uniform. From there, you can customize this new slot to your liking!

The default teams now have brand new alternate uniforms as part of this update as well. So get ready to see every team in a whole new light! There are more updates and fixes in this patch if you want to keep readying below, but we are super excited about this new uniform update and can't wait to see what our community can create!
