Rise above the pain @JNT_BA because that banner was a belter!

Was the goal post padding on properly?

You make a good āpointā ā¦ 
Would love the high voltage AC/DC banner that Port use. Would be a good addition to the game. Also NTUA needs to be added at the beginning of the Port home games. Itās very vital and very important.

I played a custom game tonightn on PS5 using two teams I created (Moonta and Southern Eagles from the Yorke Peninsula Football League in South Australia).
All the logos were there except for the adboards for some reason.
Take me back to the nightly patches on steam and the next day on console, now itās go to sleep, wake up and nothingā¦ I hope the drought ends soon 
Maybe it will happen one day before Bombers make a finals appearance @JNT_BA

I mean the daily patches were to fix a raft of small issues closer to game launch. Whereas we are now in the next phase which is more about fixing bigger issues perhaps.

Just to add a little realism here, this is ānotā going to be a massive super filled mega awesome patch that will bring in everything everyone ever wanted ever. Cause thatās impossible as some people want things that are mutually exclusive.
The main adjustments in this will be to the core gameplay feel. This took longer than expected as when we tune what we have been working on we have to make sure that it works with all other systems that the player relies on, so every time something was adjusted it would need to go back into step one of testing to make sure that change didnāt have a negative effect. This required lots and lots of testing, loooooots of testing.
That being said while waiting for the patch process, development for the next patch is already underway with some more updates again this will be one that needs lots of testing.

@JNT_BA Testing is music to my ears, means that people will complain less 
In terms of thing that are āmutually exclusiveā, surely there are some things that are logical, some takes on here are just ridiculously imaginative

Very understandable Sir 
No, please no paid DLC. Just make the roster update like other sports games throughout the season. Iām so sick of having to buy DLC with a game thatās still in progression of being fixed.

Looking forward to seeing what this patch entails.
I have always seen patching as a way of rolling out changes in a timely way without waiting for longer periods.
It would be a fine balance.
Saying that with all the testing going on we must be patient. I hope the testers donāt go through too many controllers in the process

I had no issue paying for the DLC to update rosters in Evo 2 so donāt see what the fuss is about.
I mean there are lots of player movements, new player scans, draftees and subtle guernsey changes, not to mention ground sponsors etc.
I almost feel like a new season update should be separate to gameplay fixes.

@Chuckinho I think some people are just concerned at this stage that theyāve basically paid for a game with 3 things to do in it, once Pro Team rolls out they might have a change of heart in the value for their money.
Donāt get me wrong, Iāve definitely gotten my moneyās worth and know the game inside and out now, but I can see where people would be coming from.

For other sports there are minor changes throughout a season which they can easily and freely patch in - as BigAnt did with the mid-season draftee players without cost to us. However, NBA/FIFA never just dish out a new seasonās squads, geurnseys etc. in a new patch free of charge - itās always a brand new full priced game instead (with arguably bugger all actual gameplay changes).
The only way weād get 2024 draftees/team changes/fixtures/geurnseys free is if Nacon turns around and provides it as a gesture of good-will for the shonky launch and/or if Xbox and Pro Team are held back until March/April - but thatās not going to happen. Iād rather pay $20 or so for a 2024 season update + additional gameplay features than $79 for a new game.

@palmomagpie I think BA need to determine whether they release Pro Team shortly or wait until next season, personally, I feel with the AFL season coming to an end, there is no point considering some players who would be featured wonāt even be on lists in 2 months (retirees/delisted etc). The only way it would work is if itās only cards like 2K and not like Fifa with club chemistry etc.
