can we get some actual patch notes??

I appreciate that the priority for the devs is getting players to spend cash hand over fist and not actually make a compelling skating game but is there any reason why the update for the new season has literally nothing indicating any gameplay changes? I read over the patch notes posted two days ago and the only thing documented that wasn't explaining a specific bug being fixed was this: 

Gameplay Enhancements: Improvements have been made to core gameplay responsiveness and balance, ironing out many lingering bugs.

It's incredibly annoying trying to figure out if the skating physics have changed or if I'm just imagining it like some kind of placebo. If you actually want feedback on the gameplay maybe you should document the gameplay changes somewhere?

Since the new patch it seems like I've been getting more air when doing my usual lines at Rolling Waves and it seems like late tricking is easier/less clunky. Something about the trick animations was changed in the update to the Early Access build and it seems like that change was reverted because it feels much more smooth again, but all this is just guesswork because the only documentation we have about gameplay is "improvements have been made".

    Agreed, it's super frustrating to have to guess what's changed. Like I feel there have been changes to the mechanics but don't know if I'm imagining it or if they actually changed.

    Hey there,

    Thank you for your feedback. For now, these are the only patch notes we have:

    0.28.0 Patch Notes

    However, I understand your frustration, and I’ll reach out to the team to see if we can provide a bit more detail about the changes in future updates.

    I appreciate it.

    Even if the mechanical changes are miniscule it's better to actually know what is being changed than to try and guess based on the vibes on a day-to-day basis. It's important for players to know what bugs are being fixed so we can report back if there's still an issue and it shouldn't be left ambiguous what "improvements" are being made to the actual gameplay for the same reason.
