KEYBOARDS ARE NOW SUPPORTED

Gameplay:
- Practice mode is now available!
- Improved one timer passes and shots
- Pressing L1-R1 (LB-RB) no longer resets the game to center ice
- Minor camera changes
- Few goalie fixes including an improvement to the ‘’weak five hole’’

AI:
- The AI will now stop making back passes when in a breakaway opportunity
- Minor bug fixes

UI/UX:
- Keyboards are now supported as a controller!
- Fixed an issue in the UI bug where the score text would overlap other stats when you score 10+ goals
- If your controller happens to disconnect during a game, re-plugging it back in won’t force you to quit and restart.
