yeah - i thought maybe i missed the patch at first, but it’s been a while now (plus i have PS+, so i have auto-updating/patching anyway)
It is also possible that ‘standard’ and ‘big teams’ both funnel into the same aggregate place (since they have identical server rules/framework) and that my experience seeing 8 humans or less in “standard” and >8 humans in big teams is simply coincidence - i certainly haven’t been particularly rigorous about my ‘data collection’ lol
one thing that is confirmed is we (ps3) have both standard and big teams on our menu. dunno why.
