I would say its more of a new game now... I will delete the game itself and related data and reinstall it all newly.
I would suggest you to start it afresh to reflects the stats etc.

For some of the fixes they won't take full effect on existing careers/competitions, but old careers/competitions will continue to work.

If the logo limit thing is fixed, redownload all teams and start new career -- yes baby just in time for the ICC Champs! @Llewelynf better get a move on with the kits **kidding**

oh damn! I really didnt want to start my Career from scratch again.... but oh well!

Thanks, again for the patch guys!

What fixes won't work?

There are some cases where Competitions had incorrect score tables, these couldn't be fixed for existing competitions. For career, the stats fixes can't fix existing incorrect data, only to make sure data is correct going forward.

Thanks, I don't think I had any stats problems with the career statistics. It was more of the case looking at competition stats for that season, they weren't calculating correctly. Good to see it's been fixed!

Can anyone confirm if we can play a competition and create pools (aka Champions Trophy)

Looking forward to this. I hope *fingers crossed* that the stutters and lags on PS4 are resolved.

Wides are still not fixed in online five over games
Will check the other issues mainly AI not changing the field despite being hit on the leg side

 

[christy_lenin1]

I deleted all my saved data completely and downloaded all teams using get best. I didn't face any logo issue but I get the custom stadium full message. Not a big deal for me just reporting.

just played causal match and tour matches, none of the stats from the matches have updated on the academy player stats.
