Play online games sometime. Half the people will immediately quit your online game if you get a two goal lead. Lots and lots of sports game players want the game to be easy, not hard.

It's now a constant CPU tackle fest, at least on WC. Even in the box the tackles come flying out of no where, flawless tackes. Dropped back down to Pro, which seems tougher but more fair. And the CPU seems to attack more on Pro then it used to

The cpu is better at tackling, but it's because most players aren't as dynamic with the ball at their feet, and aren't as explosive out of their first touch. The cpu tackling can maybe be a bit overpowered at times, but I feel like it's much better.

I'm actually quite surprised by this patch. They only vaguely listed "defensive positioning" as the gameplay thing that was altered, but I feel like this is one of the most significant gameplay changing patches I can recall in a sports game. It's a drastically different playing game. Scrappier, and a definitely taken off the rails quite a bit. Also, seems like players play way more to their ratings—at least with the ball at their feet.

Not seeing the reduction in cards. I'm playing with Preston North End in CM, and League One games are quite rugged with a lot of stopping and starting due to fouls. Though I can see how some might be seeing fewer fouls due to players not being as defenders playing a little farther off the man, and therefore being better able to make a play on explosive moves with the ball.

Completely agree, the game first and foremost has finally achieved some balance, more akin to how 14 was in that regard, and once we get the sliders back in line, this will be one helluva good playing football game, not perfect of course, but sill damn good.

Haven't played in a few weeks. Is the screen size/overscan/presentation fixed on PS4 yet?

Seems like the CPU is making fewer of those out of control sliding tackles, which is obviously going to result in fewer yellow and red cards. Overall, though, it's probably for the best.

At the same time, I'm seeing refs just flat out not calling obvious fouls. Which may be an artificial way for EA to speed up the game. Reminds me of FIFA 13. /nightmares

It's still way too easy to beat defenders using pace control and quick change of direction. I was hoping they would address that a bit, but oh well.



Edit: and right after I type all that, I draw a red card on a slide tackle from behind. So, yeah. Who knows?

I am the only one, who think that nothing is fixed with this title update again? I read some positive comments about CPU's defending is became a wall, etc... so I was very hopeful, but this game dissapoints me every time. It's the same situation: you can run by them easily from the kick-off with almost anyone. I really don't notice any differences...

Hmm ...shenanigans?
