Dev Diary, News - By Dave - March 14, 2011 - 2:08 pm - Tweet

With Update 3.3 almost out the door — it’s scheduled for release tomorrow morning (Tuesday, March 15, 2011) — I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek at what’s in store for Update 3.4, which will be launched in the end of March/beginning of April time line. Here’s what you can expect:

• MORE CP PER LEVEL: The plan is to greatly increase the amount of CP earned by gaining new coach levels. Depending on the level, the increase will be between 10% and 100% (double) what’s currently being given out.
• 32 NFL PLAYS: The 32 NFL plays that you get for FREE when you complete each Season Challenge will finally be added. The other new plays to fill holes are still about a month away.
• GAME DAY PLAYBOOK: We’ll be adding the ability to select which plays you wish to make active/inactive for use in the game to reduce the playbook size of what you use.
• NEW FILTER: The “NEW” filter in the Play and Player stores will actually work and showcase any new inventory that’s available.
• POSITION TABS IN STORE: The position tabs in the Player Trainer will be pushed over to the Legend and Rookie stores to make finding guys easier.
• QC PROMO CODES: Marketing will finally have the ability to give out QC via Promo Codes.
• LIVE LOGGING: We’ll be adding the ability for you guys to submit logs and bugs when the game crashes or hangs — which should help us get a lot better at fixing things down the road.
• STAT-BASED TROPHIES: New in-game achievements for things such as rushing for 200 yards in a game or getting 6 total team sacks.
• NEW LEGENDS & ROOKIES: Another 6 Legends and 3 new Rookies will be added to the inventory to fill out position/type holes.

These new features all fit in with our new desire to concentrate on doing easier things (from a development perspective) that will help improve the overall experience of playing QUICKHIT — low dev impact, big bang for the buck types of things. As stated earlier, the plan is to release this towards the end of March or the first week or so of April.
