• Fixed an issue with players despawning occasionally after a kickoff.
  
• Fixed end of match summary being bugged when using free cam.
  
• Fixed match state/goal state not being visible for some players sometimes.
  
• Made a slight change to slide tackles that should make fouls less common when you tackle the ball 1st, so players don't get yellow/red cards unfairly.
  
• Added a new slide tackling mechanic. Sprinting + slide tackle = ball goes fast, No sprinting + slide tackle = ball goes slower.
  
• Increased slide tackle animation speed by 5%.

Work on ranked modes will start soon.
