Thank you Matt for the long post. I was having the playface issue and after today's update everything is looking correct again without the eyebrow issue. Didn't have to re-download players.I certainly appreciate people's frustrations on something like that batting glitch occurring in the patch - I believe there will be an update to resolve that before what would have been planned as next week's update, but I don't know timing yet.
My understanding is simply that very late in the day, we'd received and resolved an issue that was sent through on a support task which had been preventing someone proceeding in their career, a decision was made to try and get this into this week's update, so new builds were made, which unintentionally included some items that were being worked on for next week that didn't receive the level of testing they needed, and caused this problem.
Obviously the other choice would have been to push it back to ensure that it did receive that full pass - but it's a no win situation - the pages immediately before the pages of posts about how this batting thing is glitched, are all about 'where is the patch'.
Honestly, it annoys me just as much as it annoys others when stuff like this happens - because I'm of the view there's a lot of good improvements that were in this update, but that all gets overshadowed by something like this. This patch included or at least tried to make progress on a bunch of things I know have been mentioned on here, that tickets via support, and feedback posted here are being read and worked on.

For 'missing eyebrows' that means the playface texture wasn't downloaded or is no longer on your console (the console can refresh/reset the storage area where those faces are kept). If you are still missing them, it is going to need to be re-downloaded, the point was supposed to be that people who had faces before the patch where they were all missing from all players, didn't need to redownload those ones to get it to work again - because that specific issue was that they were there, but not being correctly rendered.
For the Bats situation, my understanding was that for a while 'get best' wasn't including bats. If you're still having problems there, would need more info on what you're downloading - as in if you're getting a specific team or player directly from a search, or doing get best on a particular team, etc.
Will try and find out why Physics is doing that - the intention is just that if you have your difficulty on a mixture of settings - rather than all of them being from the same custom difficulty, it would say "custom" pre match. So if you use the batting difficulty from one slider set, and the bowling from another, pre-match it will say Custom. But if you just select a specific custom difficulty pre match, then it should update and use that for each of the elements of difficulty, so setting batting/bowling/fielding/etc to the slider or on disk difficulty all at once.
If you're referring to white hats, I'm certain that has been resolved and has been for a long while. I get the correct maroon ones in game, and I recall a number of posts at the time of others having it work.
The only suggestion I have is to go to the Academy, highlight the West Indies team and press the Triangle/Y button and see if you have an option to delete it - if you do then it means you've managed to get it in a customised state, which means it can't reset the uniforms to the ones currently on disk. Delete it if you do have the option and that will restore to the correct.
Yep just nowHas the hotfix released for PS5 ?
This is what Ross Tweeted a few mins back:Has the hotfix released for PS5 ?
For me it crashes only when playing in a custom stadiumUmpires still get chosen randomly rather than the actual ones you select. My game crashes to desktop when I exit a match.
Any intention to give us back visible pitch wear?I certainly appreciate people's frustrations on something like that batting glitch occurring in the patch - I believe there will be an update to resolve that before what would have been planned as next week's update, but I don't know timing yet.

I don’t get this with the umpires, works for meUmpires still get chosen randomly rather than the actual ones you select. My game crashes to desktop when I exit a match.
Is this after the hotfix or was it happening earlier too?Umpires still get chosen randomly rather than the actual ones you select. My game crashes to desktop when I exit a match.
