The complete list of the update's changelog:

 

BE A PRO

Fixed issue where a User would keep getting the doctor‘s approval to play popup each time they returned to the bench.

Fixed issue where no captains were being assigned in Be a Pro.

Improved overall stability within the mode.

 

GAMEPLAY

Added 11 new goal celebrations to the creation zone.

Added new post lean saves for more coverage.

Improved goalie post lean logic so goaltenders to try and make saves that keep them sealed on the post to prevent short side goals.

Added functionality to allow goalies to rotate more when coming off the post from VH to butterfly to make them more square to the puck.

Updates to User goalie save logic on wraparounds based on requested motion.

Updates to User goalie save delay when in good position to make a blocking save.

Improved the reliability of one-timers by adding quicker snapshots for situations where there isn't enough time to take a full slapshot.

Updated goalie logic so that goalies will hold their near post on pass attempts near the net to prevent easy short side goals.

Updated goalie logic for softer shots on net so that they look to pick it up rather than make a save.

Updated User goalie save logic to help them move into a save when they are requesting to push/move first.

Various crash fixes.

General stability updates across all modes.

Fixed an issue where a goalie would sometimes drop to butterfly when in possession of the puck on a User requested pass attempt.

Fixed an issue where some signature stances caused the goalie's glove hand to push back behind their pad when holding the puck idle on their stick.

Fixed issues with shot animations when in close to the net.

Fixed an issue where a user goalie would get stuck after getting hit while in butterfly.

Fixed an issue where after an icing the puck it would sometimes cause human players to sit on the bench for the next play.

Fixed some issues where a goalie would get stuck in a post lean away from the post.

Fixed an issue where precision skating would sometimes conflict with a loose puck deke attempt at a slow speed. Now if you have your stick out a deking position it prioritizes the deke request.
