Was talking to a mate at work saying that they should of released a patch by now cause it's one month after release go home and see the facebook post pumped for Friday perfect timing with the long weekend coming up

Can you please make more comments to that mate regarding the game?

Perhaps mention to him how you're suprised that Shuey, Yeo and the Gov aren't rated higher
 
Perfect. I finished my Season mode a couple of weeks back and held off on starting a Coach Career until a patch has popped up. Will give it a spin this long weekend.

Question for people playing on Legendary difficulty - I found the Hard difficulty pretty easy, now with the option of Very Hard vs Legendary I'm not too sure which to go with.

Is it frustratingly hard? Will I fall into an induced rage after every game?

I also hope by "commentary fixed" Wicked Witch meant "removal all of Richo's commentary".

Now that is a really good patch/update!

The fact that it's 2A and they are looking at 2B as well in what is an already fun game, that's awesome.

It'll be interesting to see how many new bugs have been introduced in the process of fixing the old ones.

Great timing I was about to sell my copy to a mate.

Haven't been playing recently after playing it non-stop the first week and a game here and there since but this will definitely rekindle my interest
 
I've actually got no issue with marking now I'm used to it. I hope it isn't over corrected to being broken.

You just need fast reflexes and the ability to not throw the controller on the ground if the cpu ai out marks you which then causes you to not touch the ball again for a while :P
 
So 2b sounds like new features which sounds like they hit a sales target to fund it. Either tbat or they smartened up as whatever improvements they do now they can take into next years release

I really doubt another one will come within two years based on years past.
