Every change to the game, newest first. New updates are added here as they go live.
A fixNew
- An interception no longer hangs in the air waiting for the defender: he takes it where he can get to it.
Honest odds, pass protection and one-tap pass plays
- A receiver's catch % is now how often that pick is caught on the snap: sacks, scrambles and throwaways count, and so does calling the same route again and again.
- Rollouts fixed: a rollout to a receiver was mostly ending in a scramble, sack or throwaway. Now it is at most 15%.
- Pass protection: Standard, RB in or Max protect. More blockers mean less pressure and fewer sacks, but the men who stay in can't catch a pass.
- 📋 Plays: nine one-tap pass concepts (Four Verticals, Smash, Flood, Mesh, Slants, Stick, Dagger, Post-Wheel, Sideline), each drawn from your formation with what it beats. The one that fits the situation comes first, and you can still change any route after.
- Phones: the pass and run screens fit with no scrolling. Receivers two to a row, the options as small chips, the big buttons kept big.
- The tackler is on screen from the moment he goes for the ball carrier.
- Defenders no longer run right by the ball carrier without making the tackle.
Sacks, penalties, run blocking and motion
- A pass to a receiver you picked can be sacked, or end in a scramble or throwaway, at the real-life rate.
- Penalties: accept or decline them.
- Calling the same pass over and over gets worse: the defense sits on it, and the game tells you after the second time.
- Run blocking: Zone, Power, Counter, Duo or Trap, each better against a light box, a loaded box or a blitz.
- Motion: swipe a receiver, tight end or back sideways. Against man coverage, his defender follows him; against zone, the linebackers and safeties slide.
- Empty and two-back formations are real: plays come from real plays run from that set.
- The stats page counts Survivor games and Pro drives in the drives played.
- Kicks line up as a real kicking unit.
- A fumble recovered out of bounds is shown going out of bounds.
- Checkerboard end zones.
- A quick throw nobody could get to that falls incomplete is shown as a drop.
