#125 NewSim v0.5.1 Changelog

**Rocketcan** · April 17

Here is the changelog for NewSim v0.5.1. This will be the last update before the regular season.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed RPO reads being applied to every play (yes every single one).
Fixed variable name discrepancy between the engine and the interface that would result in sacks not being recorded on the play-by-play properly.
- This was the main culprit for pass plays saying "incomplete" on the interface but having negative yards and tacklers.
Fixed 2 point conversions counting as TDs in stats.
Fixed an exceedingly rare (only 1 case found about every 1,000 games) bug where a play would display as having an incomplete pass, but then also a loss on the play.
- Pass would be intercepted, but the engine would mistakenly set a turnover flag to false, which would result in the offense keeping the ball.
- As a result of how the interface displays the plays based on the data, it would just report as incomplete.

Balance Changes:

Introduced a cap to the % of playcalls users can make for passing depths.
- No depth of pass can add up to more than 50% of your traditional pass depths.
- This means that Short and Play Action Short weights cannot add up to more than 50%. Same thing with Long and Play Action Long.
Reduced the default long pass setting for the "Vertical" offensive scheme
- Was 40% and is now 25%.
- The 15% difference was redistributed across other playcalls with most weight being applied to Short passes.

Misc:

Added check to runner and target distributions for players that show up multiple times in the same distribution list (running or target)
- Engine will now choose the lowest of all of the weights applied to a player in any position on that list, even if it is zero.
- It is recommended that all users double check their gameplans to ensure they don't have different weights on the same player in the same list.
Kickers and Punters can no longer be set as backups to positions other than specialists.
