No kit fixes? I think we're all kind of sick of seeing United in pink shirts. Also, Everton needs their blue shorts.

Am I part of this community? I haven't seen anyone from EA here and I didn't want any drastic change in gameplay. I'm really angry with this company.

I completely agree with you. Some of us sim offline players are not heard.

I will say they probably get most their feedback from their forums. I love OS but the EA bashing on this forum is kinda out of hand and if I was involved with EA, I would not bother looking for feedback here.

I also use the EA forums as you do not get hate for liking one of their games and they have reps that interact with you there. I gave them as much feedback as possible to not change gameplay. The fact is there is more FUT gamers than sim gamers and so even though they probs got tired of hearing me say please leave gameplay alone for the most part.... They had more saying make it arcade!

Not literally saying arcade but that sums up what they wanted.

I literally can not understand why this was even released this way. It is not the wrong shade of red... but literally not red. It is mind blowing since other teams have red.. Usually when a video game gets red wrong it is across the board. But I will say there is some major issue in gaming with the colour as 2K had it off on certain teams for years, The Show also and FIFA, used to be Liverpool in pink now it is United's turn I guess.

I'm confident they are reading a thread that has 160,000+ views (OS Slider thread). It may be a pain to sift through because of its daily progression, but it's highly coincidental that this update has fixed a lot of the issues we had with the previous update. With the right slider tweaks, this game is playing absolutely incredible.

Some people are saying the patch makes the gameplay faster and players feel lighter. Others say the patch is amazing and that players feel heavier.

I know what I want to believe but with people's interpretations so different, just gotta wait and see...

So I guess the new update is not compatible with a previous MM save? Again it's not placebo effect because I'm not an idiot and I can understand when something is changed. I'll try later a brand new MM. Edit: The cpu is definitely extremely direct in their passing. This alone results to a "faster" game. Direct passing does not mean the game is more realistic. Have you seen Sunderland in real life cruising the pitch with direct passes? IMO the slow build up passes are more realistic because Sunderland was slower pre-patch. It's just me though, I'm in UK and I have a different approach to the whole sport. Still I don't understand why some of you guys prefer the cpu to be more decisive and responsive with their build up approach. Anyway. The positives are many also: + Teammates have better positioning and they don't need too much babysitting. + CPU D is rock solid. + More direct passing led to more bad passes by the cpu. + More fouls.

I get where you're coming from, but I don't think the issue is that people wish for the CPU to play more direct necessarily, as much as the way the game is balanced now, you can't really force poor teams to play direct through applying pressure like you should be able to.

You might see Sunderland play a slower buildup against an evenly matched team, and that might be their preferred playstyle, however when they come up against a superior side, they usually don't get to dictate the pace of play, at least not for long stretches of the match. This however is completely opposite to how FIfA 16, pre patch at least, plays out, and it's not so much a problem with the CPU AI as much that we just can't apply pressure properly.

I personally love some of the changes they made to the way the CPU builds up play this year, but it's extremely frustrating from a defensive perspective because at times the only way to play is exceedingly cautious and force (i.e. pray) for a CPU mistake. That is fine if we're talking about replicating what it'd feel like playing against a much superior side, but it shouldn't be like this for pretty much all match-ups, and yet it is (at least on the higher difficulties).

they better address cpu team mates watching loose balls around them

im in a relegation game where if i lose im out of serie A, and, my best rated 77 CB watched a soft pass go by his heel. didnt touch it. right into the box for an easy goal. pathetic.

I didn't notice any pace change. Tried some kick off games and it felt good, maybe even a little heavier.

One thing to note, if you're playing career mode, there is actual gameplay code in the game that alters the gameplay and varies throughout your career. It does not play the same as kick off games. You can be in great form in your league, scoring many goals per game and your players even feel faster and more agile. Then you play a cup game and you struggle and your team feels slow and sluggish.

So it's good to test patches on kick off games.
