FIFA 16 Title Update #5 Available For PC, Soon For Xbox One & PS4 - Details Included

05:43 PM - December 10, 2015 by Steve_OS

FIFA 16 title update #5 is available now for PC users. Check out the details below.

The update is scheduled to arrive later for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but an exact release date was not specified.

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.

First impressions of patch #5

- Passing seems crisper and more responsive. I dont feel like I need to use driven passes as often.

- Much more player runs are being made, some not so intelligent but they are there.

- Less CPU pressing

- A few Generic faces have been updated to look a little more like the actual players

This has been the case for years and there's no end in sight, really. 5) All CPU players play the same. Zlatan wont use his size, Messi wont do skill moves, etc. It's boring. So ya. There's that I guess.

I agree with this as well.

Why exactly does the CPU never do any of the skill moves the user can do?

More importantly, why does the CPU have all the little extremely effective micro dribbling moves that the user does not have access to?

The moves where they pull the ball back right as you are tackling and they lose ZERO momentum and just deftly whiz past your planted leg. The CPU can also do a really effective cruyff turn that I honestly think does not contain enough animation frames for what it should be. So they exploit expertly and rapidly tucking the ball behind their planted leg to change directions.

Also just checked on xbox one and no update yet.

It's been said before but I think it's important to reiterate: the AI in fifa is not yet at a level at which the cpu can compete with us without cheats and boosts. I mean really, the AI decision making often times is still really poor.

I play on legendary, without sliders, and if you removed the boosts and cheats the game wouldn't be challenging enough.

This isn't too say this all is implemented well ,it's not ,but until we get vastly improved AI, these are issues we have to expect.

Awesome rebuttal. 10/10. Would read again. Brought up many good points and debunked my post with credible facts and statements.

Nobody is trying to disprove anything.

You just spend a lot of time hating on this game. Sure it has its flaws. Sure it's HAD its flaws. Nobody makes you buy it, or come here and trash it.

Sorry you don't enjoy it, but there are those of us that do--despite its imperfections.

Every thread is your career mode wish list and the same complaints. It gets old and literally nobody is arguing against anything you're saying. No point in slamming your head against the wall for the game's cycle or filling every update thread with the same post.

It seems like I'm the only one thoroughly disappointed with this patch. Like it makes the game almost unplayable. I feel as Mourinho "Betrayed" (had to use that somehow) but honestly back to the game. The goalkeeper blocks amazing shots and one timers if u will but lets in easy, more direct straightaway shots. There is no consistency, I mean just since the new patch 3x with a step over, shot fake and then the shot and the goalkeeper blocks the shot but without those moves, a basic direct shot he lets in. There is WAY MORE tiki tak passing for the computer, that really goes no where and it just feels a lot less fluid. I will say there is more line recognition which is a very good thing with supporting/attacking runs but I just feel after patch 4 with sliders down and everything it was just right and now to completely alter the game play, it's very disheartening.. Not to mention they made counter attacking almost impossible. And the passing that everyone is raving about is atrocious. It was bad before where a long pass would speed up towards the mid to end of it's flight and now it's EXTREMELY bad. Not to mention pass recognition is still off by a mile. I really wish I could figure out a way to do without this patch without losing everything.
