We are still working on it and are trying find out what the exact cause is in order to solve it. We appreciate your patience as we work to address the issue.
Two things to note from this patch are: Club captaincy is back, as well people now actually come out of the box.
we've still got connection issues but we JUST fixed a problem where a player shouldn't have been coming out of the bench in the first place. BRILLIANT!
im assuming they have no clue how to fix the dr errors? imagine releasing an AAA priced game but have no clue how to fix one of the major issues with the game.
They acknowledged the problem a month ago. It was an issue in the beta and they haven't been able to come up with a solution in 3 months. Might as well just scrap the whole team, took them 3-4 months maybe half a year just to fix a bouncing puck on last gen...that they implemented themselves.
