Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Rhone]

So what did I miss? Patch notes been released yet? Who's been arguing with who? DJ back yet or is he too busy consulting with EA via satellite?

That would be $9.99 to tell you about it.

I'll put it as clearly as I can - the patch releases on PS4, Xbox One and Steam this Thursday (26 April) and is the same across all platforms, and is the same as the build the beta group currently have.

Thanks Matt for the update.
Can you please also confirm whether new patch applies to existing matches/ tournaments and existing career or do we need start them fresh?

A question not about the patch:

Anyone know how you change stubble colour?

I'm certain I've seen different colours but, whenever I want a different colour, it always seems to default to dark brown/black.

Not sure it's possible? If I want a lighter shade I just make it more transparent.

The default hair colour must be the colour you want the stubble to be. There is no other way

I started reading this thinking, "oh no. Here come all the... "is this in the patch" questions", but it's actually a reasonably relevant one for people to know prior to downloading etc. Good question.

Obviously I don't know for sure in Ashes but it was not the case in DBC17 that you needed to restart career modes and such when a patch hit.

My thoughts last time they said that yeh it in terms of gameplay the build should change over but if I was U I would try and grind out the matches you are still playing just so for sure u no the changes have applied and for career previously we have had to change becaucse of stats but I don’t think that the case this time

@MattW If the patch is dropping on April 26 (which I assume when it's Thursday in Aus), does that mean others who live on the other side of the world in North America get it Wednesday evening? When it's morning there, it's evening for me here. So is your team aiming to release the patch in the morning, or later? (In that case I have to wait longer)

You won't need to start anything fresh, there's a few fixes which won't take effect until the next match in career/tournaments (such as a fix for teams being wrongly called "Adelaide Smashers" in commentary), or where there's a new option added such as new grass patterns, which again you won't be able to select until the next match.
