• Client-side fix for the bug where you could see ratings of the upcoming draft class prior to the draft (server fix already applied to Cloud Franchises)

• No passing icons on PA, Force defender tuning, nano detection system tuning, users not getting stamina penalty when meter depleted
• Force defenders not dropping back vs. run when in zone coverage; Play Action desync; Fumble frequency in MUT solos.
• Lots of high priority gameplay fixes that includes:
  • Stripping the Ball from behind the ball carrier is overpowered – We found a bug where the defender was getting multiple rolls at causing a fumble per animation

  • Play-Action Pass Desync Online Head to Head Desync

  • Cover 1 plays were sometimes not aligning to Trips formations correctly
  • Occasionally, offensive linemen would run to the end zone and not block when running no huddle repeatedly in Draft Champions.
