There's the same package as 16 for Bundesliga. Including the stoppage time clock. Which I personally enjoy. Would like to see it for every league.

i downloaded the patch on xbox one... same generic overlays.

i'm getting a can't connect to EA Servers message on Xbox One Early Access. Then it just hangs with the yellow 17 flashing on and off at the bottom center of the screen. Someone said there was a patch for PS4. I didn't get prompted for a patch on Xbox One.

I can't seem to find any info about the patch.
 
# 66 Velocityy @ 09/21/16 11:31 PM
One thing I'm holding out hope for...this may be the full game but it's just early access...so maybe the Day 1 patch will have it?

Did USA get any classic uniforms? Does game look the same or better than demo. Any new international teams.

Can't download the free trial. Every time I click on free trial it takes me to a membership screen. My membership doesn't expire until December. What gives EA?

EPL presentation was in 15 & 16, Bundesliga was in 16. The presentations made it feel even more life like. I wonder if no EPL has something to do with PES getting some of the individual club rights i.e Liverpool and maybe why there is no LaLiga because of Barca? Although that doesn't make a lot of sense as the FA Cup presentation is there.

Looks like EA is dropping the ball with this Early Access stuff.

No bizarre speed boosts from nowhere. I actually dominated possession in the first half, and the CPU had to fight back.

Not thrilled with the lack of Premier League presentation. And the menus are much slower than in 16. Setting up your formation and personnel is a chore. Hopefully this is patched, but it seems to be a recurring theme in EA Sports games.
Is "bursting" still an issue? If you lower the acceleration sliders to 45/45 can you still burst the length of the pitch?

Playing The Journey right from the beginning. A lot of fun, but I just want to play the game ha

I had it as low as 48 tonight, and bursting was not possible. The positioning and physicality are actually quite good. I'm not sure about 45 as I fear it would not diminish the stamina of the players as much. If we could play at 45 accel though, that would be fantastic.

Epl new logo is in with screen swipes and such just not the scoreboard yet.
Just watched Matts Stream , it looks really good guys.
If they did patch what i saw on Matts Stream im going to be pissed. Leave the damn game alone.:

Apart from Rashford being listed at 6'2 in game the physical growth is ridiculous in career mode this year lol. Might be something they need to fix.

SHHHHH! If EA hears you they might take it away.

One thing I've forgotten to mention but I think deserves a lot of credit is the addition of the new through ball modifier. You can weight a through ball with spin easily to thread between defenders. It makes for some truly remarkable looking passing attacks. Especially long low balls to wingers or advanced midfielders which can then run at the fullbacks or center halves.

In addition, the low driven shots feel just about spot on. This is something I don't think PES got right (at least judging from the demo). I've slotted in from 10 or 12 yards a few times and each one has looked like a goal that could easily have happened in any Premier League game.
