New patch rollout - ghosts, pools and careers

[J. M. Pescado]

Prolly few-days.

The latest patch was released yesterday. Details here:

In addition to the two new careers, Business and Athletic, and an assortment of bug fixes, they also made some changes to the user interface.  My first impression is that the changes help, especially what they've done to the Career panel, and breaking up the options on the Phone menu into categories to make them easier to find.

Still no crack for latest updates. Sad..

You're not missing anything.  It's broken; e.g., if you were in the middle of an aspiration or promotion, your progress from before the patch doesn't count.

Wonderful. Anyway i just found out there's a "Game Pack" due this month. Probably will only have updated crack after this is released.

This might be stupid but why are you even using a crack version of the game? Its cheap enough now you can just buy it. No offense to anyone I was just wondering.

There's people that don't want Origin, period. Simple as that. Besides, unless there's another place that you know of that I can at least trust enough to get a legitimate CD key for it, ~$40, which is the current Origin price and what I saw on a few other CD key sites, is still too much for me, at least.

There are a couple of reasons, firstly, as posted previously, alot of people don't want Origin installed.  With TS2 and TS3 you could still play the game AND patch without needing to install Origin (or the older EA Downloader).  Secondly, for alot of people even $10 is too much to pay EAxis for how fucked up and broken they are leaving the games.  When you read all the complaints about what is missing with TS4 and how stripped down and fucked up it is, why would you want to actually pay for it, at any price?  Some might even argue that the time spent downloading and installing is too much to pay.

After all, they did leave TS2 and TS3 full of bugs and glitches when they walked away from them, so why expect anything different with TS4.

At least give her credit for being self-aware enough to finally start prefacing her posts with "This might be stupid."

I get your point and its valid reasoning. In my opinion the game is fine I wasn't expecting TS4 to be like any of the previous versions. I guess that why I am still supporting them. I know a lot of other people aren't happy and won't spend any more money with them until they fix the game.
