UFL update 0.71 is out today with a focus on tightening up how the game feels. Passing should come across as more consistent now, thanks to a smoother reception animation and quicker response on powerful short ground passes when coming out of a dribble. Movement during Strafe Dribbles has also been smoothed out with added animations that help things feel more fluid.
Animation issues tied to strong ground passes have been cleaned up, along with odd warping during pass interceptions. Goalkeepers should react more naturally to shots down the middle and handle one on one situations better and players should be less likely to overrun the ball while sprint dribbling.

The Brazil Team Pass is available as part of update 0.71, bringing a seasonal event inspired by Brazilian football.
