FIFA 15 Title Updates Arrive For Multiple Consoles and PC, Details Included

Just me are suffering with fouls? :/ Every time i come closer to the opponent, i hear the whistle...
Meanwhile, CPU appears being immune to fouls, even in late slide tackles (which are really common after the patch). And still win every single fight for possession.

This is just a random Play Now with defaults. No goals, but a nice example of the new back and forth with the CPU, even on Pro Level. Sorry about the freezes, still getting Action sorted out. That said, I really feel this is about "PES-like" as I've ever seen a Fifa title look. Until the underlying A.I. is less offensive and aggressive and team personalities actually become a focus of the designers, this is the about as good as we're going to get. And I think this is pretty darn good. Great job, EA. Shake them haters off!

I've played a good sample of games now post-patch (PS4), and the most prominent change to me is the game feels like it has, to a large degree, been taken off the rails.

I'm not saying all of the classic game-shaping/scaling stuff is gone, but overall gameplay feels like it is less rigidly contextually prescribed, and I don't feel as if I am experiencing those moments of utter helplessness.

For instance, now there are moments where the cpu has an advantage with ball movement and pressure, but the difference feels like I, as the user, have a far greater influence on the outcome if I work to maintain my defensive shape, or make a smart clearance. Overall I seem to be punished for my mistakes and unwise plays at the wrong time, and not just forced into mistakes through suspect ball behavior or inferior players suddenly playing like Ballon d'Or winners.

I also think I might be experience a sense of the inherent disparity between top tier clubs and lesser clubs during gameplay for the first time in the series for a while.

It needs some new slider tweaks, but I am pleased with the gameplay alterations in this update.

Hate to say it, but Ea forum are a bunch of cry babies thats why. They will complain about everything and anything possible it seems. Thats why I dont go on there.

Hmmm this looks interesting. Wonder if they fixed the bug that gets us fired right after changing club in Career Mode.

Man U. Which is kind of what I'm loving. I made a couple of bonehead defensive plays by getting too far forward, but was able to recover.( that was my tactics, I was playing balanced, when I normally play defensive) What I loved is that the CPU felt more "human." There is just this new feeling of being "organic" that I've never experienced with Fifa before. I really, really like it.

Different groups of players. I would suspect that those on the EA forums are playing at a lower level of difficulty in general. So game play may be different for them. Or maybe it is more difficult so they are complaining.

Lots of different people playing the game, some love to win every game 20 to 0. Can't please everyone.
