Not to mention this rule only gives human players three more inches. Referees, already busy tracking scoring, possession, penalties, etc. are going to need eagle eyes to get an idea of if this rule is broken.

The contact inside bumper zone rules are barely changed. It's a big improvement, yes, but it still doesn't make it okay to go after a ball that a defender is keeping from you.

No fixes to referees being overworked. No fixes to the pedestal not lighting up (you should be able to get a ball in the case of the pedestal not working). No stated fixes to field reset returning balls too slowly. No fixes to other fundamental game design flaws. I'm not impressed.
Same here. I'm not particularly impressed.

G40 fouls need to be reduced. What they did in this update is not a solution.
