Any idea when the next monthly update will occur?
@AustinMD32 Absolutely no idea I'm afraid. They usually announce if a big update is coming a couple days before hand. I think last month it wasn't until November 12th that the monthly update came in that fixed auto scouting. Hopefully we won't have to wait another 11 days, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we did. I would expect in the next week or two we will know something solid.
@AustinMD32 Hang on.... According the TheClapperton on twitter (he's an EA community manager) an update is coming this week. I'll C/P his tweet.
"#NHL21 Patch this week
Fixes to Franchise mode trade values, record book and created player default skating.
New HUT matchmaking mechanic
(detailed blog coming soon)
Gameplay updates and fixes"
I'm really hoping by fixing trade values they also fix the player potential bug. Honestly if they don't I'm going to be really pissed. But for now I'm going to remain optimistic and say that the franchise mode will finally be playable soon.
That’s fantastic, I don’t have Twitter but had anyone tweeted at him about the potential bug? For me that was the only bug that made it unplayable
@AustinMD32 There were a few, but most people are nagging about HUT or the other online mode or retro reverse jerseys for some reason. Frankly, I don't think EA reads the comments on twitter, if for no reason other than most people are just * on them for all the problems the game has. I'm really hoping they fix the potential bug though... I agree with you that this bug makes it completely unplayable. The trade values are pretty bad but at least I could still play without yelling at the monitor.
