Sunday Rivals Winter Update Adds In-Game and Season Stats, Console Development on Hold

[26k]

Hey yall, just released the v.15.0 Catching Update to Sunday Rivals!



What started out as a simple plan to improve a few older animations, turned into a full scale update with a completely rebuilt catching system, a bunch of new contextual catch animations, and a series of major improvements to the overall passing game!

A couple highlights worth mentioning are, catches now take into account ball location, direction, and player height for both offense and defensive players. This creates some great moments where a DB will jump to intercept a pass, flub the catch and have it fly off their hands and get snagged by the receiver, something that couldn't happen in previous versions of the game!

I've also decreased the overall speed of the game so it's a bit less hectic and made some tweaks that allow for more run after catch opportunities.

Awesome. Will there be more customization added in the future like alternate team uniforms?

Ya, potentially! There's a bit of work to make that happen but it's come up enough that I know people would want to see it. Maybe after Early Access is complete...

Hey yall, really excited to announce that Season Mode has been added to Sunday Rivals! This video below gives a deep dive of everything offered in the current version:

Pregame matchups for your team show per-position ratings breakdown and stat leaders at each spot


Every stat in the game is tracked and fully sortable per-team or in top-10 league leader lists


League wide rankings (perfect for custom college leagues) go along with regular standings


Play or sim every game on the schedule. It sims every snap, takes a minute or so to run through an entire week


Still a lot of work left to do, but future updates will integrate directly into the mode so it will continue to improve and grow as I get closer to releasing v1.0. Love to hear your thoughts on how it's going if you get a chance to play!
