Does anyone know a way to prevent the game downloading the patch once it comes out? I say this because I'm really enjoying this year's FIFA but so often EA bring out a patch and just ruin the gameplay.

I'm not sure if you can prevent it but I'd also appreciate it.
Played on PS4 last weekend and just downloaded the PC version, patch was automatically installed and the game feels like its 30% faster now. Very disappointing.

On ps4 i think you must go to system\automatic downloads & uploads\application update files

tried to play after new update, but it crashes while playing a match everytime now. lol, great update.

if i re-install the game, i still get the newest version or how to downgrade?

Problem Solved : deleted a folder called 'Patch' in FIFA18 folder.

Have the same issue...really angry about the new patch, absolutely no need for it and has ruined what was an original experience. Initially Fifa 18 played so differently to all other FIFAs and now it is identical to FIFA 17. I tried deleting the folder named Patch but that just froze the game. Someone suggested buying the DVD and playing it without using ORigin, ie signing in but exiting origin and playing from the desktop icon. I haven{t tried it yet but have ordered the DVD version as I loath what they have done.

I assume you guys are on PC?
If you find the game too fast post-patch, can you try 2 things?
Play a kick off match and see what the speed is like.
Quickly start a new cm and see the same thing.

Had the same problem but turns out this is not a bad gameplay patch, but it's probably buggy in some way. Starting a kick off match seems to fix the game engine.

i got the patch working now, had to repair to download some language-files i guess.

Well, about the patch..... they indeed speed up the gameplay, now it's back to old FIFA arcade and i'm even playing on 'slow'.

i think 30% faster isn't too wrong guessed. How could they even do such a dramatic change? it really feels completely different.

I played kick-off match btw.
