Canadian Football 2017 – 1.5.4.0

Content Update Summary

Issues Address

A number of items brought up post launch have been address in this content update. Some items are platform specific and are as noted.

The game's passing was generally considered to difficult and we've addressed that by;

• Simplifying the algorithm used to determine a catch. A receiver’s odds to catch a pass is now based purely on a user configurable slider. This slider can be found on the Game Settings screen.
  
  
• Reworking the passing button system.
   

1. (All Platforms) Improved on screen instruction. Although the game has always provided multiple help screens prior to entering the active game play, players required the ability to go back and look at those instructions. We’ve added these screens to the game’s updated pause screen.
    
2. (All Platforms) We’ve also added more on-screen instructions during game play to help guide the player through the process of kicking and passing.
   
3. (All Platforms) Pause Screen. Players were exploiting the pause screen. This has been addressed.
   
4. (All Platforms) Pause Screen. Added the ability to pause the game without needing to press the XBox Home button and bring up the HUD.
   
5. (All Platforms) Fixed an issue with not being able to cycle through defenders on kick returns.
   
6. (All Platforms) Fixed a crash bug if the player pressed a button on the controller during a pass that was not assigned to a receiver.
   
7. (All Platforms) Fixed an issue where, given specific ball placement on the field prior to the start of a play, certain players could get ‘stuck’ while moving past the goal post.
   
8. (All Platforms) On-field players no longer to continue to process the previous play’s animations coming out of their huddle.
   
9. (All Platforms) Fixed an issue that saw, under very specific conditions, the wrong team kicking off to start the second half of the game.
   
10. (XBox One) Fixed an issue with the engagement screen that would sometimes cause the controller used to engage to not be the controller with control.
    
11. (XBox One) Fixed an issue with the Play Selection screen not picking up on a change in controller if the user paused the game while on that screen, then changed controllers via disconnection of one, and reconnection of another. The controller would change for the player, but the screen was still listening to the old controller.
    
12. (All Platforms) Fixed an issue with the Play Selection screen when pausing the game while selecting a kickoff play. While on the Kickoff Play Select screen it was possible to pause the game, exit pause, hit the (B) button and be allowed to select a standard offensive play.
    
13. (XBox One) Fixed an occasional crash bug progressing from the engagement screen / main menu to the team select screen.
    
14. (All Platforms) Player Settings are now bound to a specific title update. This will require a player to re-choose their novice player settings (by simply picking yes or no) after the update is applied, but it prevents the game from loading out of date data for that particular version of the title.
    
15.  (All Platforms) Fixed an issue that would incorrectly start the quarter clock after a time out was called.
