GAME BALANCING
CATCHING
- Reduced the possession delay for catching the ball after it becomes free [from 0.6s to 0.3s].
Note: This change, alongside other backend changes, will remove the “Bug Shot” where passes were unblockable because the ball would pass through opponents at a close enough range.
- Reduced the possession delay for catching the ball after a player performs a tackle [from 0.6s to 0.3s].
Note: We’ve seen submitted videos of players landing a tackle only to have the tackled player recover and get back the ball before the tackler can, even as they seemingly pass through it. We’re hoping this change will significantly reduce the frequency of that behavior.
- Increased player’s grab radius during a dive.
DODGES
- Increased the hitbox of Air Dodge and Dodge Dive moves.
MATCH CANCELLATION
- Fixed an issue where players quickly leaving Ranked Matches (dodging) would not be properly sanctioned.
SETTINGS
- Increased maximum headroom for gamepad/controller sensitivity options.
Note: Mouse and keyboard have had a higher capacity for snappy camera movement and will likely still have a higher ceiling. Though we’re hoping this change will raise the capacity for faster camera control for gamepad players.
TEAM MOVES
- Decreased the speed boost of Team Moves in situations where there is no ground friction.
Note: We want to keep the high-impact flare, speed, and playmaking capabilities of team moves – however some use cases where the move was not limited by ground friction caused the move to be far more powerful than intended.
