VHL Patch Notes

[Tagger 2,722]

One of the most common things in video games now is patch updates released after a game's release in order to fix problems with a game or add content. In some ways this is good (If there are any problems, they can be fixed, new content is always good), in other ways it's bad (the ability to fix bugs through patches has led to some games being released in a broken, sometimes near unplayable state). If the VHL were to release a patch, here is what I would imagine the patch would include:

 

All-Star Week

- Fixed bug that allowed user to pass trade deadline without simming All-Star game. 

- Fixed issue where double XP was not awarded to players during skipped All-Star game

 

Offseason

- Tuned Free Agency to heighten importance of "Role on Team", preventing single teams getting stacked with elite Free Agents. 

- Added in support for selecting "second players" in Season 52 Draft

- Added in option to contract VHLM from eight teams to six prior to start of season 52.

 

Roster

- Removed duplicate M.T Power from Free Agency and moved player's attributes to M.T. Power on the Watchmen

- Added in numerous players eligible for Season 53 Draft.

 

Gameplay

- Fixed a tuning error included in last patch that was allowing Americans to score more than one goal per game

This just reminds me of Overwatch, and now I want to play Overwatch. But alas my controller is becoming too much to handle at this point, as my left move stick is all borked and doesn't completely register when I go forward. I haven't even been able to touch Doom since I bought it in spring because of this, as the movement speed in Doom is super fast but with my controller it turns into me running into mud. I need a new controller, but of course those things are super over priced sitting at like 70-90 CAD.

I'm probably going to have to get a new controller soon as well. Weirdly enough, it's fine in Overwatch but for stuff like shooting a gun in GTA or taking a photo in Sleeping Dogs (weirdly enough it works fine when driving in both games), my R2 button only responds if you absolutely slam down on it like 20 times which, as you can guess, is not much good in a firefight. I was able to bypass the issue in GTA by switching shoot to the bumpers rather than the triggers but I can't do that in Sleeping Dogs, so I'm hoping that won't be an issue once I eventually get guns in that game.
