When a Customization Item is both Painted and Certified, the Paint color and Certification labels rotate at regular, two-second intervals

A ‘High-Five’ registers after a goal is scored by your team, and when you bump into a teammate above the goal

A ‘Low-Five’ can only be done after a goal is scored by your team, and when you bump into a teammate at field level

Swish Goals are only available when playing the Hoops game mode

Audio

Shields on ‘Double Goal’ and ‘Underpass’ Arenas now display the appropriate color
