@PernellKarl027100% This isn't Ajlo or any CM's fault at all. I feel bad the company finds a way to undermine their roles, again. But, EA Vancouver not being transparent about what's in their largest patch in months, posted out of the blue a week before their game's next launch does not sit well with me.

Believe me buddy that I’m not blaming Aljo one bit in all of this. I actually feel for him… He’s the main CM over here and he’s caught between a rock and a hard place. EA deploys a patch that he’s not even aware of and he discovers this after the fact like we all did, and to top it off, they don’t even have the decency to tell him what was in that patch…

Just tell them it’s "Various bug fixes, tuning, and improvements"

There’s no WAY I’m installing this patch without knowing what it actually does. I just know that at one point, I will have to, because if I wanna put out my latest roster, I will need to go online 😳

@PernellKarl027  I seriously hope for you, me and all others using your great slider set, that this strange patch would not affect your immense work.

@darkryd3rMaybe a graphic nerd will notice some details after installed this patch ? Maybe some changes at the stadiums ? Would be a way to find out. Myself didn't have the knowledge about stadium designs.

You have to remember that the text from that official Panda site was a bunch of baloney… Pretty sure at this point in the life of 23 they didn’t touch the graphics… Not even sure why a 3.9GB patch was deployed a week before the release of 24 anyway ? Maybe I’ve bumped my head somewhere, but I’ve never seen this before in this series 🤔

@PernellKarl027I talk not about the panda site. Only my feel that this patch could have to do something with graphics. My meaning, this patch was not adressed for NHL 23 and usualy belongs to NHL 24. This unsatisfied answer about the changes strange to me, but showing me personaly that it goes in this direction. I guess they exactly know about what is included in this patch. I do not know but maybe they removed to download it now ?

I've installed the patch when it reeased and nothing has really changed or is noticed.  Just remember patches can seem huge when they don't even really change anything special.  There are times I have a 10gb+ update for Apex and really nothing much changes except maybe the slightest things.  The reason it could be big is because they are overriding previous big files.  We're in the farewell tour of 23 and onto 24.   In fact this area is for NHL 24 not 23.

I've told myself this quite a few times after downloading an update/patch, when only after playing a few games that I’ve noticed an area of gameplay was totally different and game breaking. Somethings you might miss after playing just a few, but when you dig deep, that’s where you see stuff 😫

Even if it’s the slightest things like you said, I think a heads up from EA first of all to say there’s a patch, and second of all, saying what they did. No ?

I remember them putting up patch notes when they fixed VOIP at one point this year… It was a really MINOR update, but at least they said something…
