Know issues:

• Sometimes when a player scores, the goal is counted but does not show up on the top left. It only appears when another goal is scored or the match finishes
• Sometimes in-game an outfield player swaps positions with the GK
• On the Player Performance screen, the overall of an item is sometimes displayed wrong - the base overall instead of the actual overall of the item used.
• • For example - KDB Flashback can appear as an 87 as well as a 91
