FIFA 16 Title Update #5 Available For PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

I agree with the poster who said this patch addresses online playing.

I'm strictly a career mode, offline player and I'm not feeling this patch at all.

I don't think there's any doubt that this is the case. You can tell by how they worded the patch notes. No mention of CPU AI opponents. Shouldn't really surprise anyone though. People are still messing with sliders that haven't been improved/expanded since FIFA 12/13. That is the last time single-player gameplay has been anything resembling a priority.

This makes me angry actually.

Not what you wrote, but the patch only affecting online.

I have owned every fifa and with them taking modes away, weekly highlights, practice mode, the match day pick any team pick any upcoming match to play.

I don't play much online as strangers can be quite annoying to play against.

FUT is fut.

So with ea taking away those modes I have play now or cm, both against a wonky AI.

I was so hoping this patch would affect offline ai and improve their attacking and improve the officiating. When I first read the notes I was like wow! They are finally listening to the offline crowd.

I was in the beta and there were so many good ideas posted in the cm and general forum and none of those ideas made it into the game.

Finally got some time with the patch last night and I thought it was great. I played as Arsenal vs Man City (World Class/15 min halves/Normal Speed), and I actually won (2-1), which I really didn't expect.

I really don't know where all this "The CPU just slices through the defense like butter now" talk is coming from, honestly. I out-possessed them 53-47%, I had 2 less shots on goal, and I had 86% passing compared to 88 for them (still high but I can live with it). They still played the ball around very well I felt, using lobs, back passes, and playing the ball to the GK a few times. I also had no trouble getting fouls called (4 on them and a yellow card), and had at least twice in the game (1 for me, 1 for them) where a ticky tack foul in the box was not called as a penalty, which I LOVED. They still pressured me quite a bit, but it didn't feel as relentless as before so I'm hoping the fatigue tweak played a factor in that. It's also worth noting that the through balls near the sidelines were much better, with far less routine passes going out of bounds.

I can't vouch for Legendary difficulty, but on World Class I really found the game to be less frustrating than it was before. I've been stuck in purgatory between winning handily against Pro and struggling to compete vs World Class, so if this 1 game sample was any indicator, I'm thrilled to finally have a difficulty level that plays tough but fair.

Yeah, I actually am enjoying the game post-patch. The CPU seems to take more chances when they pressure on defense, and they execute counter-attacks more aggressively. And the overall directness makes for more of a variety of scorelines than before. It's definitely a step back towards FIFA 15, but I think the game actually needed it.
