Patch Notes v0.4d Early Access

Improvements:

• Best gameplay yet. Lots of tuning across the board for improved gameplay feel for Default physics. Heavily recommended you use this physics. Others will need tuning.

• Improved Catching System: Catching now using regular continuous collision not continuous speculative, allowing for more complex catches.

• Clutch Tackle System: Players dive tackle at different angles after catches, in the end zone and when a QB is winding up for a pass.

• In-season practice mode now is your team vs itself in your home stadium.

• Added more gameplay footage to background video

• Under the hood optimizations in CPU and GPU across the board.

• Players fall down more realistically.

• Better blocking with blockers that seal the edges.

• Better tackling targeting.

• Coverage defenders who cover a blocker will go back into zone coverage.

• Better tipped passes.

• Beginning stadium renovations and optimizations. Seats optimized in Atlanta, Houston, Kansas

Known Issues:

• AI misses too many FGs.

• AI players can’t get up after plays.

• Co-op issues like both possessing the QB at the same time and Player 2 needing to press A to snap even though he’s not the QB.

• DB arms don’t reach out for ball sometimes in pass coverage.

• Playbook line renderers on field have wrong points and rotations sometimes.

• Punter doesn’t transition to run after punt animation

• IK catching physics issues (edge case)

• Defenders shouldn’t strafe when taking 45 degree pursuit angle

• Catching is harder. Requires concentration. Needs a “vacuum” feature where it slowly pulls you into the correct catch point while also maintaining player control, kind of like aim assist.

• Punts land too far downfield, farther than throw target reticle.

• Run with ball animation isn’t used sometimes for ballcarrier when it should be, creating a fumble vulnerability by not tucking.
