CHANGES AND UPDATES
Custom Training Updates

- You can reset progress on any training pack (see Pause Menu changes below)
New controls:
- Next and Previous Shot: Freely swap between shots in a training pack
- Select Shot: Press and hold will bring up a new drop-down menu that allows you to pick which shot in the pack you want to practice

End Training screen: From here, you can jump back into the pack, change to a different game mode, change the training pack, or go back to the main menu.

- This screen won’t automatically appear if you are using a training pack that has already been completed if its progress hasn’t been reset
Painted Items
- Sort by Paints: You can now sort Customization Items by Paints in the Car Customization and Manage Inventory menus

Player Behavior
- We have made changes and improvements to how we track and take action against in-game griefing and scoring on your own team (“own-goaling”)
- If you witness any griefing or own-goaling during a match, please use the “Match Throwing/Griefing” report reason
- This will lead to disciplinary action under the “Unsportsmanlike Conduct” ban reason
- When a player is banned, a “Report Feedback” notification is sent to all players who sent in eligible reports for Match Throwing/Griefing
General
- Similar to the new shot controls in Custom Training, ball controls in Free Play now display at all times in the upper left corner
