Diamond Dynasty will receive many updates. The checkbox for completed goals in Mini Seasons changed. It will now display a green checkmark instead of a red X.
The CPU teams in Mini Seasons also received a small update. Now, the teams no longer use their home uniform in all their matches. Their logos will also display correctly on the loading screen from now on.
