Xbox Series X Physical Copy

[TarHeelPhenom]

I picked up my physical copy today. For anybody that was wondering, the complete game is on the disc. If you download the game off the disc offline, the game build is 1.0.0.5.

The digital build that we all predownloaded was build 1.0.0.8. So, I don't know if the retail is the build that that Content Creators were playing or not. But, I'm gonna dig into it. I have the 1.0.0.8 and the 1.0.0.9 build both saved as well in case I want to go back to it.

Yes please dig into the disk version, typically the gameplay is better

I hate how gameplay is adjusted based off of Creators feedback whom most are H2H/MUT type players, esp since there’s no different play styles

I may just buy it to just have the original non-Updated version cause I’m curious if a better player rating spread existed before they did any adjustments

Tarheel: thanks for the heads-up. My physical is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. On the subject of different builds, what I've been seriously pondering is, did the YT content creators receive a build with "higher-Res", richer graphics? I say this because, I recall when that one YTer revealed that first RTG game footage (LSU, CB, London Bridges III). Every poster on OS was comparing the footage to the hottest all-time females on the planet. Fast-forward a couple days to when everyone begins playing the early release build, and seemingly everyone is bemoaning how the graphics look "off", don't look crisp, aren't Hi-Res, etc. Ultimately, I'll be satisfied regardless. Just wondering if those YT content creators indeed received a build with better resolution/graphics etc? Thank you in advance for your input.

Sir, did that physical copy come with any sort of game instructions?

I didn't get a chance to play much at all last night, but from what I did see, in this build, a lot of guys hadn't been scanned yet. Some of the guys had player cards that looked nothing like them, but when you clicked on them they had their scans. Some didn't even have a player card at all. As of this build, Shedeur didn't have his scan. A lot of guys didn't have the same abilities they have now, and most didn't have any physical or mental abilities. At least they didn't show up on the player card from the roster in the main menu.

I did a quick test dynasty sim. When I went in and looked at the roster, nobody on the entire roster had their abilities showing up on the player card, but when I clicked on the player, I could see mental and physical icons for the player.

I did a test sim dynasty and this was the final CFP poll leading into conference championship week. I'm gonna sim and see what the playoffs look like when I go home for lunch.. I'm gonna look at some game footage today as well.

Zero instructions. They need to go back to giving us those thick gaming manuals

I don't know what to make of it yet regarding graphics. You know how it goes with placebo. I'm gonna compare and contrast the different builds to see if anything looks different to me before I speak on that. I know that in this build they hadn't finish scanning all of the players yet, which most likely explains the updates we were seeing in the weeks before the game released with our preloads. There was something about the visuals that did catch my eye, and I'm gonna test it when I go home for lunch.
