Uhhh, so far, not good. We're back to very direct passing, similar to what FIFA 15 turned into on its very last patch. Not sure if it's a placebo or not, but I tested several slider settings, mainly default, then worked my way up. The drilled passing is at a very high priority for the CPU. It's the main way they attack. I had pass speed at zero and they were still drilling passes like it was at 50.

Hope can get this figured out, again, may be a placebo - but I can see a change in gameplay.

May have spoke too soon. Oddly enough...the issues aren't as evident in Career Mode. If anything, there's a lot more build up, more variety and still a sense of directness from the back to front. In the kick-off mode it's like a free-for-all and and end-to-end match.

So...yeah, not sure what to think. I'm definitely okay with career mode getting better.

The latest update has changed the game's structure. It may be a placebo but it is as if EA are testing something on FIFA16 ?.

I don't think it's a placebo. The directness is very eerie of the last patch we received for FIFA 15. Everything became forward-forward-forward. This can usually be contained by a myriad of pass values adjusted and marking, lines and marking, but right now, in kick-off mode at least, it's changed.

CM still seems to be okay. As I told pap, still needs testing. Not to the point of going way deep into the rabbit hole, but more so testing the passing values and possibly marking.
