The biggest Football update in Sports Mania history. The Primetime Pass has been increased from 7 days to 30 days. Now you can double your rewards for a whole month! Switched the Gorillas and Cheetahs agility and jump power stats in Dynasty Mode. Fixed a bug causing the Hall of Fame to crash for new players. FOOTBALL * Improved QB throwing mechanics. Downfield passes are more likely to be accurate for more explosive plays. * Throwing on the run affects accuracy more now. * QB will automatically throw the Screen Pass after the snap now. * Overall improvement of blocking on run plays. * Added gunners on punts to improve containment of the returner. * After a punt, the play will end now if the ball rolls to a stop. * Improved Zone Defense and Safety tracking of receivers so that receivers down run downfield uncovered on some plays. * Equalized Zone Defense and Man Defense delay when reacting to a receiver's change in direction in order to make Man Defense more viable. * Safeties react to Screen passes quicker now to keep from giving up an explosive play every time. * Improved defenders' ability to shed blocks downfield in order to make tackles. Reduced what appeared to be offensive holding downfield. * Improved defenders' ability to return an interception without always immediately being tackled by the receiver. * Increased Timeout button's collision mask size so it's easier to press when you need to stop the clock quickly. * The Auto Clock Run button will always leave at least 5 seconds at the end of the half. This prevents you from accidentally ending the half right before a scoring opportunity. * Slightly reduced the average amount of play clock the CPU will use up between offensive plays. * Switched Drag Wide to a shotgun play and Stop and Go to under center. * After scoring a PAT, the Auto Clock Run button will be switched off to prevent a quick delay of game before the kickoff. * Fixed bug where zone defenders would leave their receiver wide open downfield to spy the QB. * Fixed bug where the play would not end on a Kickoff after running out of bounds from the end zone. * Fixed bug where a Kickoff rolling out of the back of the end zone would restart the kickoff. * Fixed bug where fumbling out of bounds on a PAT would spot the Kickoff at the point the ball rolled out. * Fixed bug where the ball would be spotted on the end line instead of giving a TD when a pass was caught exactly on the end line. * Fixed bug where players would walk on top of the spectators in the stands. SOCCER * Improved players' ability to take one-touch shots rather than having to fully stop the ball first. * Fixed bug where the Keeper may kick the ball backwards toward their own goal.

Several improvements and bug fixes: Improved ranking system in Ranked Mode. After a win if your rank is low, it will automatically jump to within 50 points of your Player Level in order to prevent you from having to grind against low level opponents.
