Do we know what time its dropping? Checked a minute ago and nothing yet

[brodes11]

No no clue what time Xbox will get an update, hopefully it even comes out today. If someone on gets an update let everyone know here

[Hectic-Turbo]

Does anyone know if there will be an update on PlayStation for team management players being fatigued and no way to fix it ?

[Turtle]

Does anyone know what patch is releasing on Xbox today? Is it the most recent version of the game or is it only the initial day 1 patch?

[Great_SouthernXD]

Should be an Xbox patch today for the Xbox players. Probably not a patch for PlayStation players today unless it’s an emergency patch, if not should be one out possibly for PlayStation players Wednesday or Thursday

[j_170]

One thing I would, like to see in a future update, is A.I trade offers in management mode I have been doing some Sim rebuilds and ain’t received one yet, its what made the modes more enjoyable in the older games. And makes for some interesting offseason spanners. I like the unhappy players not resigning, in the offseason but a random trade request would also add some more dynamic to the mode. Then offers from rival clubs. It’s the biggest flaw in the mode, and what makes management modes so much fun.

Kind regards

I’m starting to have some good games now representing modern day football pretty well, as opposed to button mashing the ball up the centre every time. Big component of this has been sliders. Turning down AI run speed has a big influence on play I think. You get more space and time to hit up players, and you can play on from marking contests more realistically, and string together passages of play. I’ve also started using the clearance kick and handball much more in contested situations (L2 + x). I’ve increased tacking distance to 100 also and, combined with reduced AI running speed, I’m finding I’m able to lay a tackle much easier in my back 50 reducing the amount of times the AI gets the ball and goals off one step. Overall its also had the affect of increasing the amount of stoppages around the ground. It feels more contested, rather than “bang, bang, goal”.

[Savage37]

I’ll give it a whirl later, though I’m not struggling as much. Just with spoiling in the defensive 50 and usually the A.I seems to pick it up and goal.

I have received a trade offer so it is in the game somewhere. It’s only happened once in say 5-6 sims I have done. Realistically each off season we should get multiple offers. Would like to see the frequency turned up a notch.

[shlev]

Interesting, I would’ve thought the tackling distance would make players teleport for tackles

[Kaleb3Votes]

I have also altered my sliders for better gameplay.

Game felt like enough of a challenge on the hardest difficulty so I used that as my base.

I lowered the locate proximity setting a bit, lowered tackle distance, lowered AI sprint speed and lowered AI goal kicking accuracy.

Having so much of a better time using my custom sliders.

Hopefully this Xbox update helps tidy up the edges of the game so I can play my GCS management mode in peace!!

Also the constant injuries in that mode I think add to the flow of the season. Had a rough patch with Andrew, Miller, King, Ballard, Read all going down with injuries meaning I had to blood some youngsters. Meant my game against Richmond was closer than expected and a real tough challenge.

Enjoying it so far but management mode needs some tweaks on the finer details!

[Kidneykid95]

@JNT_BA how’s everything tracking today, we expecting something today for anyone??

[Dylan9]

Can you send some screenshots of your sliders?

[dont_argue04]

This is me atm, I’m Level 18 1/4 on the season progression, Done a heap of objectives and 5 games off finishing a ladder leaders.

Had 2 frozen premiership games and 1 quit on me so haven’t really dabbled in that side as of yet.

[Krackouer]

Anyone else not able to play pro team? I just get ‘invalid token specified’ then booted back the home screen.

[iiCaptain]

I seriously hope the AI movement is fixed. I don’t get why 12 of my players huddle in the same spot, run around like drunk ants then when there’s a turnover the opposition has 4 unmarked players in their fwd 50.
