Released last week for PC users, FIFA 16 title update #5 is available now for PlayStation 4 users. Check out the details below.

The update is scheduled to arrive for Xbox One soon, but an exact release date was not specified.

UPDATE: (12-17) The update is available now for Xbox One users.

Four key areas of improvements:

• Penalties and referee decisions
• Passing
• Defensive pressure
• Player positioning

Quote:

With that, we are announcing and deploying a number of changes to make FIFA 16 more balanced and responsive in gameplay. These changes are in addition to tuning to passing featured in the last update.

• Improvements to the Rules and Physics systems to have better referee decisions and help address penalty decisions.
• Behavioral changes in ‘Secondary Contain’ and ‘Interceptions’ to help balance high-pressure situations.
• Improvements in how quickly fatigue effects occur for players using ‘Aggressive Interceptions’ and ‘Secondary Contain’. This could, in turn, have an impact on your ability to apply high pressure as the game progresses and your players become increasingly fatigued.
• Instances where no auto tackle launched even when positioned properly.
• Improvements in the positioning system to allow for better attacking runs and support.

In addition to the above, EA has made minor changes to attribute boosts provided by Chemistry in FIFA Ultimate Team, which affects passing, interceptions, and long shots.
