Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Small patch to address some lingering bugs, plus a few gameplay improvements based on feedback I've received like less blocked kicks, the ability to rate your fullback as a regular running back, and giving your QB a bit more speed at the start of running plays.

Full patch notes below:

GAMEPLAY

  • Decreased odds of kicks being blocked
  • Max power kicks and punts get a significant distance boost
  • Skilled AI kickers use more of the field on kickoffs
  • Based on player ratings, increased starting speed on QB running plays
  • Based on player ratings, increased starting speed on bubble screen passes
  • Eliminated sliding around while kick returner waited to catch the ball
  • Awareness rating has more impact on how quickly the QB will recognize pressure and avoid sacks
  • Lowered scoring threshold for the AI to 'go for it' in a game-winning situation
  • Increased likelihood of 'balanced' offensive aggression strategy to 'go for it' when needed
  • Decreased likelihood of AI calling a pass during the final series of a game they're winning

CUSTOMIZATION

  • Added the ability to designate a FB as RB2 and be rated accordingly
  • Team OVRs are now visible on customization screens

BUGS

  • Fixed a critical issue where playoff games a user played/watched would not be recorded upon returning to Season Mode
  • Fixed a critical issue where the 'Advance' dialog box could be prematurely opened before the week was complete
  • Fixed various spelling errors
