CPU being direct? That's fantastic.

Didn't they list those changes below? I don't see the mentioning any game play changes at all. I haven't played it yet with this patch however

don't even know how to tell if my game is patched, the file in FIFA 16 folder still says 1.0.0.0

No, this is the second patch. Hence, the title of the thread.

I think console gamers are doomed right now to play this mess as I think they can't bypass the game update. As I knew that this company is maybe the worst videogaming company on the planet I had already copied the whole folder of the vanilla game so I can delete the game and apply it again. Again congratulations to EA and the "community". Oh! There are some positives also. Defensive positioning of both teammates and cpu AI is improved, there are more fouls, cpu tackles more and that's it.

On PS4 you do not have to update any games if you do not play them online. Just set auto updates to off or whatever and play it how it was released. You may loose all online modes but I only play offline mm. So, I do not care.

Did you play it post patch? As I thought the patch was PC only at this point.

Well, if they really did alter the game to cave to a specific sect, then I'm glad I still own FIFA 14. Might just have to pop that in the PS4.

Hoping some heavy sider editing can do the trick, though.

And heck, on default if the AI plays more direct, perhaps that means they can be slowed down with custom tactics. Just trying to be slightly positive.

Everything is gone. I'm already replacing the update with the original folder. Just wait and see how this thread will explode with complaints.

Did you accidentally fire up 15? I'm seeing none of what you're claiming in five or six matches post-patch. The speed is exactly the same as pre-patch, and if there's any difference in passing or the way the AI attacks it isn't discernible. The only noticeable gameplay change I've seen is that keepers aren't quite so overpowered in taking care of crosses and corners, and even that change is fairly subtle.

I feel like you've been afflicted with some serious placebo effect.

Nowhere anywhere does the patch claim to change pace... More direct I would think would depend on how you play. If they try to go direct up the middle against me that will be a death march with the way I pack the mid.

I am on PS4 and will just wait until it gets here before I panic.
