FIFA 16 Patch #2 Available Now For PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

[yasendi]

OK so I played 3 season matches and my impression is:

- The game feel easier to play. Passes makes it more to their targets, First Touch has been certainly reduced
- The Drive pass has been more Over Powered. They always make it to the player and the receiving players will have no FT effect out of it.
- Crosses is very dangerous again. Over powered.
- Keepers are not supermen any more.

The game is not FIFA 15. Still much more fun but a bit less realistic than launch.

So looks like the FUT players win again. Gee thanks EA!

The most logical and likely answer to what you're seeing is misattribution of normal variances in gameplay being attributed to the patch. It happens every time and it happens with sliders as well (which is the reason why I avoid them like the plague if at all possible). Call it confirmation bias, call it placebo effect, call it whatever...it's the ugly side of spending too much time analyzing a game on forums as you will get varying opinions that will start to influence others and eventually divide into "camps" and it becomes a debate and not anything even close to resembling science.


Apply Occam's razor and play the game you paid for. Introducing new conclusions/assumptions without numbers to back it up or anything is going to ruin this game for a person more than any patch ever could.

I'm pretty sure that patch note is from the day one patch.

That's just a lie, plain and simple.

They don't have effect if you play on amateur, on world class and legendary your players most definitely struggle to control driven passes and hard passes in general. And the passes absolutely DON'T always make it to the receiver.

Hit the posts & crossbar half a dozen times in 2 games since patch.

Might just be unrelated, just noticed it.

I'm playing on full manual, but I also noticed this last night. I had the bars way more. I think I hit the bars 8-9 times in 4 games. Before that I would maybe do one a game.
