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
