Gameplay Overhaul:

This update addresses numerous player concerns. Key gameplay adjustments include:

• Interception Improvements: Reduced the frequency of dropped interceptions by increasing the force needed for a knockout on catch attempts. This change focuses on Competitive Game Style.
• High Throw Accuracy Nerf: High-throw accuracy has been toned down to promote better balance between offense and defense, responding to community feedback. This also applies to Competitive Game Style.
• Conservative Ball Carrier Adjustments: Players using the Conservative Ball Carrier Coaching Adjustment can no longer execute diving maneuvers, though sliding and giving up remain options.
• Catch Knockout Refinements: The likelihood of a catch knockout after immediate contact has been increased, aiming for a more realistic outcome based on receiver skill. This is specific to Competitive Game Style.
• Bug Fixes: Several physics-based tackling issues and playbook assignment errors have been resolved.

Expanded Playbooks:

Over 800 playbook updates reflect real-world NFL strategies. New formations and plays draw inspiration from recent NFL games, including notable touchdowns by players like Justin Jefferson and Terry McLaurin. Specific examples include:

• New Formations: Numerous teams received new formations, such as the 49ers' "Gun Bunch Spread Nasty" and the Vikings' "Singleback Wing Flex Close - PA Shot Post" (mimicking Jefferson's 97-yard touchdown).
• Inspired Plays: Many plays are directly modeled after successful plays from the recent NFL season, adding a layer of authenticity.

Franchise Mode and Authenticity Enhancements:
