Hey College Bowlers! Now that the game is out in the wild, we've had more time to analyze feedback on gameplay and other issues reported by our community. With that said, we focused a lot of our time on Defense, in particular the AI gameplay logic to help manage all of the various offensive and defensive combinations that can occur during a game. That's one of the downsides to having SO MANY plays in our game, your engine needs to be bulletproof. Choosing the best defense to combat the offense is crucial and we feel confident the game is in an even better state that it was before and that's saying something. In addition, player ratings have a significant impact on how games function. We also have to navigate difficulty levels and sliders. So yeah, many variables and football is not the simplest sport to replicate! 😊 In short, we were seeing offenses pummel defenses at times and we're hoping this update helps nerf some of those exploits. Please let us know how you like the changes? We're very interested in hearing your thoughts! Be sure to read below to get all of the details included in this update.
