All Madden, LTD, Team Affinity, Team Diamonds remain outstanding

Still not working in game, but was updated this patch.
Perhaps soon.

Elements of return man, shade(s), unstoppable force, and double or nothing changed to chance-based outputs. This isn't really clearcut, or necessarily accurate. Depends how much they tuned effects of overrides to compensate, but they are no longer guaranteed.

15 New Abilities.

With lower AP limits, combined stacks are sure to be interesting. New abilities look to be much needed additions, could bring serious changes to meta depending how they are gated.

New XF - Colossus
'Dominant pass rush, even vs. double teams'
'Raw power can often be a pass rusher's greatest weapon. When these players enter the zone, this ability increases their win rate and block shed speed even vs. double team blocks.'

New XF - Dual Threat
'Higher chance to defeat pass blocks & disrupt catches'
'The most devastating defensive players often excel via versatility. When they enter the zone, they have an increased chance of defeating pass blocks, and knocking catches loose.'
