Patch Notes

	This patch will NOT work with the demo version of the game.

	This patch is compatible with the North American release of the game only. The European release 	already has these changes.

The following changes have been made:
	The frequency of player injuries and penalties has been reduced.

	The computer players have been made more aggressive. They will also shoot and pass
	more often. 

	The length of the instant replay has been increased. 

	The selection screens will now operate more quickly on video cards with the 3DFX chipset.

	Two button controllers now work properly in instant replay.

	Joystick "jittering" in the selection screens should be fixed. (Those who still have problems
	should contact the manufacturer of the joystick for new driver software.)
