Patch 1.0.4.47 - The Visual Routes Update
Patch 1.0.4.47
Visual Routes System
Gridiron now has a visual routes/play art system! Quarterbacks now have new formations to choose from in the huddle. There are a number of plays with predetermined route/run concepts. Once the quarterback picks a play, players can see their assignment on the field itself!
Receivers can see their routes on the field.
Runningbacks can see their routes, blocking assignment, or intended running scheme for handoffs.
Linemen can see an indication that they’re supposed to block on offense or rush the passer on defense.
Corners and safeties can see the zone they are responsible for covering, the player they are supposed to guard in man coverage, or even where they’re supposed to rush on blitz plays.
New Ping System
The new Ping System will make communicating with your teammates easier than ever during plays. Prior to this update, it was basically impossible for players to communicate with their team during a play without a mic.
Players can use the ping hotkey to bring up a menu that will display several communication options based on their position.
Balance Changes
Introduced a mechanic designed to punish QBs when they drop back very far behind the line of scrimmage. Once the QB reaches 14 yards behind the line of scrimmage they will get progressively slower for the next 6 yards they back up until they are slowed the most possible at 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Moved the hash marks on the field closer together.
Matchmaking Changes

Patch 1.0.4.38 - The Goated Founder's Pack Easter Egg
The Goated Founder’s Pack Asteroid Easter Egg
The Founder’s Pack is no longer available for purchase. We were honestly blown away by the amount of support that you guys showed and can’t thank those of you who purchased the Founder's Pack enough! We are so grateful to have such an amazing community so early into the story of Gridiron and we’re more excited for the future than ever.
To thank Goated Founders in particular, we rented an asteroid engraver from the Synths. It was very expensive. Players can now see asteroids with the names of Goated Founders engraved on them drift past the bay of the Moon Stadium!

Fixed an issue where players’ levels would not be displayed properly on the end match screen.
