After this patch is released there will probably a few more smaller patches get released who tent to improve the bugs and glitches found in the upcoming patch but nothing as huge as we can expect from this upcoming patch will be included.
There is simply no time left to keep working on version 1 of this game at the development speed they work at, also remember OOTP has a few games to take care of, one of the reasons we have to wait so much longer at our patch is that they also have to work at the new Baseball game and maybe a few other games so there is barely time left to come up with new code + give us a 'new' featured game feeling for version 2.0 which is a payable upgrade so you can't make version 2.0 just and update. It has to be an upgrade.
OOTP should start releasing patches more frequently, maybe only two or three major updates to the game each year but a lot more smaller updates in between who only fix some minor issues or graphic improvements. By doing so you show way more activity to your product and people who buy your games. Right now nobody knows what they're doing and you can write an Forum update each 3 days about what it is you're doing but when there is no patch or nothing to be seen of the work you're doing people lose interest.
Letting people wait for 3 mounts between updates (smaller or huge) is just not going to work for them in the long run, people lose interests and start playing other games when this game if not enjoyable. Especially when other game developers start to discount with their games at platforms like Steam, SiGames Football Manager 2014 - I'm waiting for the 70% off deal at Steam what will be coming in the next 2½ months. If I buy fm2014 with my discount I'll start playing it for real and no other game will ge my attention because that game is so addictive and deep you can play it for 20 season and it's still very good. Only saying getting attention from some gamer when he's playing a game he loves is very difficult.
Look at how OOTP have let those FHM forums die because of keeping the patch from us, at the start when they released this game there was a lot of traffic and activity around here, people talked about anything and right now nobody is playing the game, nobody is writing about the game and a few of us are just only checking in to see if the patch is released but what about all those other gamers who maybe already have given up on it because the game wasn't what they excepted and those who are playing COD or what ever other game they like.
Keeping your games focused and on your game is so importent.

Not according to Sebastion and Jeff it won't be.
There will be the big patch, and then another release with the new engine.
