I really hope EA release full notes for each patch this year.

A simple 'big fixes' statement isn't good enough and caused lots of placebo and imaginary reactions with a number of their patches for 15.

I think if you've paid money for the game, you deserve to know what is being changed, but also if you do know, it allows you to give EA feedback on it.

Another new update with "minor bug fixes" listed. I've mentioned to my contacts at EA that more detailed patch notes definitely wouldn't go astray. ;)

I've also been told that the latest patch isn't a big gameplay or feature update, but instead fixes some crashes, and is intended to address some framerate problems in Summer Circuit.

The patch has bugged out hair. Not overly noticeable but noticeable nonetheless.

On sideline view you can see the level of detail has decreased (most visible on a guy like Embiid). It's all sharp and chunk and it now flickers visibly.

Before there was no visible difference in LOD levels but now you can go into a replay, zoom in and out and see the difference as the textures draw in.

I suspect this was either unintentional or a compromise for improved frame rates somewhere. The new Penny Hardaway legend has a halo around his head.

Have you guys paid any attention to the backlash this game is getting on Twitter from the most dedicated Live fans? It's getting crazy. This patch 2 better be a savior because people are either starting to lose hope or have already lost hope for 16. EA badly needs to fix this game for the rest of the year so that people can be excited for 17 but honestly, I don't see this happening.

Didn't this happen before? I swear maybe it happens every year. I think they put out some quick patches for post release support, then they disappear, possibly a on vacation, then they come back with more updates.

I've definitely seen some of it. As we discussed on this week's Podcast, there really needs to be some sort of significant update to instil some goodwill with gamers, on top of a big leap in modes and other areas in NBA Live 17.

Wow man I'm listening to it now. I swear I didn't even know you discussed what I've been discussing on Twitter as well. I even started a poll lol! Thanks for the mentions though : D and great show so far.

Just checked OS and it appears they now have a facescan for Okafor and have updated the Bulls Niko but that looks more like CAP than a scan but at least it looks more like him.

Still no KP for the knicks....

I've seen Xbox One users report that the patch is available for them, so it should download automatically.

I'll add the patch notes to the first post, now that they're out. I also saw on Twitter that a new face has come through for Porzingas, I haven't checked it out for myself yet though.

I have played two 5 min quarter games (online H2H tomorrow and vs CPU today) after patch on my X1. There is a lot of significant changes, guys! :headbang:

The game plays smother, stats are being going to be naturally. There are still no fatigue or subs online, but offline is solid. Some better that by 2K sim. Nice job, EA! (Y)
