My first post in the old thread:

Been a lot of snark form all sides since Big Ant lost the rights. 11 years is a long time for that to build. Live by the sword, die by the sword I guess, cannot wait to see what sort of game is released given that sort of internal and external pressure.

I guess we've seen it.

Removing to bed the game down, then re-introduce methodically over the next week.

You will see substantial improvement in gameplay today.

Could you please confirm something for me that I and others have asked so many times? Are state leagues coming to the game as advertised?

As much as you can say, are we talking big components like game modes, smaller parts like aesthetic content, or minor finishing touches?

Hey, sue me if i’m wrong. I have good faith that at the minimum, the gameplay will actually work as intended, the modes will probably be fixed later.

We can patch quickly, same day with PS4/5 and Steam will have a patch imminently - that's why we've decided to incrementally bring the larger patch in piece by piece over the next week.

Thanks for the info Ross.
While disappointed, this game has loads of potential. Hope you have a thick skin as a lot of the comments on here are uncalled for and just outright immature.

Noticed someone posting earlier but was a bit busy.

Maybe work on a roadmap, why waste time posting this?

I’ve played a couple of games. Been longed for incorrect disposal a couple of times. But very in tight around a stoppage, not in general play.
Potential is there and I’ll try and be patient. Cousin isn’t getting his birthday version just yet though, don’t want to gift him todays edition.

 

[Mr T]

Appreciate the communication Ross.

Do Sony allow patches this quickly? Or will we be waiting on PS4/PS5.

It takes a week after Steam for FIFA on PS to see a title update.

 

[BigAntStudios]

Comedic.

Yeah - we found and fixed that bug today - if you create a custom stadium without a fence then it puts the interchange in the middle of the ground. (It was coded to attach the benches to the fence, didn't contemplate not having one.)

No, you're not allowed to know what's in the game you already own.

 

[OhDustinMartin]

Sorry I don't get why we're getting little hints of info.

Game's out. People have paid money to have a crack. Patch notes bare minimum

I thought it had something to do with that building I covered the stands with.

 

[BigAntStudios]

A Steam update should be live.

Bare minimum... if they were competent

I mean the game is out, so there are no more excuses. They should be able to tell us every fine detail about what should’ve been in the game today. If they did it properly, they will have notes of every detail in game.

BigAntStudios will Pro Team be out in a patch or when xbox is released?

The bottom one is just the added Anzac Eve feature! Forgot to add all the phone torches

 

[winds low]

Will there be an option for tactics in this patch? BigAntStudios

 

[BigAntStudios]

The complexity with custom stadiums cannot be overstated.

 

[Pickitt]

Just catching up now, I don't hate the idea of stripping it back as long as it means improved gameplay, gives people a couple days to get used to the controls ect

 

[mikeyyy35]

A Steam update should be live.

How long for PS users?
