Thanks for the update Matt. I might finally buy the game on my Switch.

Would future updates be quicker for Nintendo Switch or would we still have to face delays?

Is the patch up to date with ps4 and xbox till date or any features too included in this which are missing in ps4 as of now.

Quicker, because there were some specific circumstances to this patch, owing to the changes made regarding community access, that caused a longer than typical release delay. They will however be slower than we are able to do on other platforms, but the goal is to keep it as up to date as possible within those constraints.

No - this patch is brings the Switch up to where the game was on PS4/Xbox prior to the 'Patch 1.08' detailed here. So the items listed in that post, and some fixes made subsequently will not yet be available on Switch.

A patch to do that is currently in the process of being assembled, but I can't give time estimates.

Added option of different pitch marker colours is this option there in ps4 latest version cant find it how to apply it.

In this patch a major issue that I have found that I did not see in 1.0.1 is not able to play the shots where I want to.

For example, I want to play an on drive, I press the buttons for that shot and the ball goes in that direction by my animation is cover drive.

Also I am getting a lot of ball going through the bat and hitting in opposite direction of my intended shot. @MattW @Dutch @Snowy did you see this problem in previous patches? I know Switch is not current and might be resolved in the next patch.

I havent seen this to be honest at all.....so it has either been patched already on the builds I have or is a Switch issue?

Could be a Switch issue. Everything else seems exactly as mentioned in the patch notes, but this is a bummer since it makes the game playable with correct animation one dimensional and in one area. Again it does not happen every delivery but it happens more often then it should. I wish I understood how to properly time the switch video recording to show it here.

Drive to mid off with a bat angled towards cover is there in the game.. Its not technical issue more the animation part showing the bat wrong.. Has been there since Ashes.. But for some animation style its correct I think..

But on drive like you mentioned could be an issue of timing cover drive early which might get inside part of bat and go towards mid on..
