Here are August patch notes

@PsubondFIFA and F1 drove EA outperformance this quarter. Madden an Apex did well. BF 2042 really did not matter this quarter, as last quarter it was called "BattleField Flop", so not really a factor in the bigger financial picture for EA.

Dice impact is where BF did some damage via lower moral, increased turnover, shuffling resources, low performance reviews, etc. Not an employee, yet "been there, done that" on other "product flops"...

EA is up nicely in after hours after reporting solid revenue growth that beat Wall Street forecasts...yet the 47 P/E ratio seems too high in a Fed tightening, stagflation economy...

Crazy not to see the current Battlefield on the EA IR website. How sad is this? Just think if you are an EA/DICE employee who has worked their butt off on BF2042, and you can't even get your game displayed on the corporate website:

Major, unannounced change... You can join the match of a full party/squad. 

Thank you, Dice

Nice !

Definitely a move in the right direction, I really hope this is the start of many more such moves.

I have no idea, lol!

Last night we had a full party/squad of 4 and the 5th person on our discord said they could hit join/invite for anyone that was already in the party and joined our server and our team. Maybe it can't guarantee being on the same team due to balancing, but at least they were there and we could chat.

There's a number of hiccups to it.

I lead a party as breakthrough defense on Renewal.
Someone in the match on Attackers joined my party after the match began, and it didn't move or change anything.

They decided to leave the match and rejoin off me, got on defense with me.
A third person joined party as they started BF2042, and it put them on the Attacking team while we're both on defense.

After the one who left and rejoined died, they were force-swapped in-game to Attacking again, while I'm the party leader and still defense.

I then proceeded to kill my party members for the remainder but was never swapped and nor did they return to my team 🤭
