FIFA16 update

So FIFA16 has been out on early access and full game by accident in a few cases for a few days now (blame Argos). Just as people were getting used to the gameplay EA have released a FIFA16 update. As in the image above it is mostly stability fixes. So what is in the update and how is it different? Well it seems to be a little quicker and passing seems back to being faster. But not in a way that means Ibarbo will simply run and dribble past everyone then score. Defenders still have better positioning and intelligence and harder to get away from them down the middle of pitch if using fast strikers.

On the EA forums after a few hours of the patch people are undecided as to how much the game has changed. Always difficult to decide given the online experience which can affect gameplay from one game to the next. Especially with rain and lag etc which can really affect the speed and reactions.

A FIFA16 update will always be necessary at the start of the game when people find glaring issues which need a patch. However to change gameplay can be dangerous if it is solid to start with. One thing which does concern us is the goalkeepers now. Making mistakes and letting in soft goals. Quite a few people now saying goalkeepers are bad in FIFA16 after the update.

Keep an eye on our twitter @fifaaddiction for any updates. Sure there will be at least another patch or two to fix bugs hopefully gameplay won’t be changed too much.
