CHANGES AND UPDATES

• To help players separate when an opponent is demolished and when a teammate goes BOOM! during fast-paced matches, weve added an audible ping to the explosion audio when opponents demolish one of your teammates.
• Volume for this new audio cue is tied to the Gameplay slider under Settings -> Audio.
• Audio when you or a teammate demolishes an opponent is unchanged.

• Weve added timestamps to Text Chat and Quick Chats across all online and offline matches and modes.
• Timestamps will mirror the in-game timer according to the match type.
  • For example, timestamps in Soccar will have descending time, while Knockout quick chats will have ascending time.
  • Overtime will also display ascending time.

• Based on player requests and feedback, weve added these Limited Time Modes as options in Private Matches, Offline Matches, and Custom Tournaments:
  • Beach Ball
  • Boomer Ball
  • Demolition
  • Dropshot Rumble (Can only be played on Core 707)
  • Eggstra Special Mode
  • G-Force Frenzy
  • Gridiron (Can only be played on Champions Field (NFL))
  • Moonball
  • Pinball
  • Speed Demon
  • Spike Rush
  • Super Cube
• Mutator settings are now sorted into three categories: Match, Game, and Ball.
  • Mutators are available to activate for all of the added modes.
  • Some mutators may be disabled depending on the game mode being modified.

• Were making changes to how we sell bundles in the Item Shop.
• If you own items in a bundle thats currently in the Item Shop, you can now buy the bundle minus the cost of the customization item(s) that you already have in your inventory.
  • If the bundle youre purchasing is being sold at a discounted price, and you already own one or more items in the bundle, the full price of the owned items will be deducted until the minimum price for the bundle is met.
  • If youve already purchased all items in a bundle, all items will show as owned and the purchase button will be disabled.
• All of the above applies to bundles sold for in-game Credits, and not to bundles sold for real-world currency.
