Unfortunately, Visual Concepts has not released the official patch notes just yet, though we’re hoping that will change within the day. Hopefully, this is the patch that brings in the updated jerseys and home courts for the teams.

Fixes/changes found in title update via the community:

• You can now run offball without losing adrenaline boost (via KIa-optima)
• Player lock no longer works for multiplayer – unconfirmed (via Aseroth)
• Perks in takeover appear in Rec (via ThanosxSwan)
• Players can now record tracks without the game crashing (via Rommas)

We’re on the lookout for anything new via the community, and from Visual Concepts as well. Once we know what got changed (be it officially or via the community), we’ll update the article.

You can check out the latest player ratings update which was rolled out earlier this month to see who’s OVR rating got bumped up (and down).

Update: Official list of changes from the game’s devs have been posted.

Update 2: Visual Concepts has published the official patch notes.
