    Patch notes here in blue text: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1478827

    Also leaving the patch notes below in spoiler tags.

    Spoiler:  Show


    What was added/changed in the December 13 patch?
    We added a few new features (including one big one!) and improved a few others based on user feedback. The latest patch includes:

    Microphone Mode
    If you don’t have an electric guitar or simply want to use an acoustic to play Rocksmith, now you can! Use a USB microphone as your input device, point it at your acoustic guitar or bass, and enjoy strumming and picking in Rocksmith without a Real Tone Cable. (We still recommend using the Real Tone Cable for best results and the most direct/cleanest signal input for any guitars with pickups.)

    Disconnected Mode
    Want to just play along without plugging in? You got it. You no longer have to have a Real Tone Cable plugged in to play along with Rocksmith – note detection is deactivated, and you can just read the notes on the screen for more casual practice sessions.

    Endless Replay Mode in Guitarcade
    Guitarcade fans asked for less downtime between games -- request granted! Instead of kicking you back to the menu after each round, you can now immediately restart your next run.

    We’ve also tweaked a few other key elements, thanks to the feedback we’ve received from players:
    - You can now edit your Song Lists from the Learn a Song menu as well as the Nonstop Play menu
    - Rocksmith can now hear your guitar better during Calibration
    - Added ability to choose Other Arrangements in Score Attack
    - Added the ability to replay the “Welcome to Rocksmith” introductory lesson

    Does Microphone Mode work the same as if I were using a Real Tone Cable?
    Yes – all your songs are available, dynamic difficulty adjusts to your skill level, Emulated Bass mode is available to you – it’s the Rocksmith experience you know and hopefully love. The only audible difference: Your guitar signal will not be processed through Rocksmith 2014’s Authentic Tones when you’re in Microphone Mode. You won’t hear stompbox effects, but you will be scored normally when playing songs.

    Will any acoustic guitar work with Microphone Mode?
    Any normal six-string should – we tested this mode with a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles of acoustic guitars. Specialty acoustics like 12-strings or baritone instruments still aren’t recommended, but a standard six-string acoustic should be fine.

    What kind of microphone do I need?

    Any dedicated USB microphone that your machine recognizes should work fine. (We do not recommend using a microphone that is part of another device, like a webcam or chat headset.) Not all USB microphones are supported by all gaming platforms. If in doubt, please contact the microphone’s manufacturer.

    Any tips for best results with Microphone Mode?

    You bet:
    • Be sure you have a working, dedicated USB microphone plugged into your computer or console. Sounds simple, but it’s worth checking.
    • Recalibrate any time your set up or environmental conditions change. Notes above the 15th fret may not be accessible on some acoustic guitars.
    • Minimize background noise as much as you can. If the background noise is too loud, Rocksmith won’t be able to distinguish your guitar from everything else.
    • Different microphones have different ranges of sensitivity, so you’ll need to make sure you’re close enough for it to hear you. If you’re having trouble with note detection, trying adjusting the angle and distance of the microphone itself.
    • Be sure the microphone is pointing the right direction. Some microphones are designed to pick up sound from any direction while others can only pick up sound from one particular direction.

    The inclusion of more Green Day makes that interaction with Dan even more puzzling now, but more Green Day will always be welcome to me.
    Longview is definitely a must for that amazing bassline.

    He said 5. At least I am not the only one who overreads this again and again.

    Good job on solving that guys!

    I expect Boulevard of broken Dreams to be in there aswell, just because it is a good song. And pretty popular. And I want to have it. Okay, maybe just because I want to have it. Whatever.

    I was waiting for something more classic, not a fan of green day but well I am sure others will enjoy this pack.

    I also must say it's really nice to see another acoustic song added. RS could use plenty more imo.

    One of the things I always appreciated about "Good Riddance" (the album version) was the 2 false starts they left in. I wonder if they'll be note tracked?
