Update 3.5 is going to be pretty light, as we’re doing a behind-the-scenes update early next week to silently push out some Marketing features that won’t mean anything to you but should help us out a bit. Consequently, 3.5 — which is scheduled for a launch on Tuesday, May 3rd — isn’t going to have any new features. It will, however, have some thing that will help continue improving upon the overall experience of playing QUICKHIT NFL Football. Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:

The story starts back at the end of the regular season of LFL2. I had just stomped Kid Steel in the final week of the season and cemented myself as the top seed with a 15-3 record. My confidence was sky high as I had already beaten the Steelers twice in the regular season and beat him again by 3 TDs in a pre-playoff scrimmage before our round 1 game. I was 100% positive that the finals would come down to a game between Tom’s Greatest Show and myself, as we were clearly the top teams all season long.

Let’s ignore the fact that they should’ve been released 7 months ago when the NFL Season Challenges were first launched, because this is something to be happy about. The NFL signature plays that you unlock for FREE by beating each of the 32 NFL Season Challenges will finally go live as part of Update 3.4. If you complete any of the season challenges, you’ll be able to go to the Play Shop to pick up the team’s signature play for FREE — and if you’ve already completed the challenge prior to the launch of Update 3.4, you’ll have to beat the challenge again 5 times in one week to get the play! Alright, just kidding about that last part obviously. For those that already completed any or all of the challenges, the plays will be immediately available in the store when the new Update goes live.

You can never have enough Legends if you’re looking for success in both life and in QUICKHIT NFL Football. My Elite +10 gardener maintains my flower garden to perfection while my Rookie barber tends to leave me wearing hats on a day-to-day basis. As such, we’ve made it a mandate to continuously add new Legend inventory to the game until we have a complete set of guys at every tier and position type so coaches can pick the guys they want to build their perfect team.

Unless you’re a huge Jonas Brothers or Volkswagen fan, you’re probably not someone that loves bugs — and sadly, we’ve had some issues over the years at QUICKHIT with bugs in the game hampering the overall enjoyment of playing some football. In addition to fixing a few things in Update 3.4 that should help with some of the problems, we will also be introducing a long awaited feature that will give you guys a chance to click a button to Report A Bug to us when it happens.

Internally, the dev team has always felt that the initial set of trophies were kind of bland because they drove you towards the normal goals of the game, such as beating challenges or leveling up. The fun achievements are typically the ones that drive you towards goals that aren’t necessarily things a coach would strive for normally and this is where the new Stat-Based Trophies in Update 3.4 will come to play.

Due to the fact that the playbook can become pretty cumbersome, one of the top feature requests for some time has been the ability to turn plays on or off for use in the game. This is finally coming out in Update 3.4 as part of the all-new Gameday Playbook feature. This feature gives coaches the ability to go into their Playbook Manager and select which plays that they want to show up in the game and which ones that they don’t. The best part is that it’s as simple as adding and removing plays as your Favorites.
As the image shows, the gold star means that it’s active and the unfilled star means it’s inactive. The plays you start off when you roll a new team will show up as black stars as they are unable to be changed. This should help players pick and choose the plays they wish to bring into games more strategically to help them lose some of the clutter in their playbooks and subsequently find and call plays quicker than before.

For Update 3.4, we decided to tackle some tunes to the gameplay that will hopefully improve the overall balance of QUICKHIT NFL Football. Changes were made that will make impacts to both the passing and running games.

In an effort to give free-playing coaches more currency to increase the funtasticness™ of training rookies and building their teams, as part of Update 3.4 we will be increasing the amount of coaching points (CP) earned for gaining Coach Levels.

New |
| 2 – 10 |
2500 |
5000 |

3000 |
6000 |

4000 |
7500 |
| 31-40 |
5500 |
9000 |
| 41-50 |
7500 |
11000 |
| 51-60 |
10000 |
13500 |
| 61-70 |
13000 |
16500 |
| 71-80 |
17500 |
20000 |
| 81-90 |
20000 |
25000 |
| 91-100 |
25000 |
30000 |
| 101-999 |
30000 |
40000 |
Regrettably, due to the lack of resources and confidence in being able to do it safely, CP will not be rewarded retroactively for levels already earned. It came down to whether it was worth doing this change without the retroactive rewarding of CP or not doing it at all and I personally felt it was something that needed to be done regardless.
