World Cup Update

[baileyc800]

It's really half-a** effort from EA. Yes all of the new kits are in the game (however you can only use them in the world cup mode, not kick off or manager mode which is dumb). The brazuka and estadio maracana are there and there is a difference in presentation (pretty much copy paste from the Brazil 2014 world cup game if you've seen gameplay of that). The rosters are different but feel slapped together (i.e Donovan still on the U.S team along with other players that didn't even make the 30 man roster)

Also, about 90% of the players in the full game (not just world cup version) have had their boots set to default (the EA boots grey w/ white stripe) which is very frustrating because I like my players to have the boots they wear in real life. some people might not care that much about the boots, but if you do just a heads up.

I agree, half-a** effort indeed. Not sure why anyone would be excited for this when we got ripped. We paid premium dollar for the new consoles and got hammed. No offence to anyone who is excited for the new content, I'm just getting old and grumpy.

The fact that it's free kinda eliminates the ability to gripe about it, but as far as the content goes it's completely useless to me and something that I will never, ever even open.

Im even more disappointed with this update then I was when I heard there was no World Cup content... still no tournament... wow

I agree guys, I just checked it out played 1/2 and then quit out of it. I'm not a FUT player so I have no use for that either. I would have been happy to pay $15 for a World Cup add on with a tournament mode with the actual teams. I guess no foul that it was free but still a mode I won't use.

Yeah that's kinda where I'm at as well, UT interests me about as much as hemorrhoids so that's out but I would have gladly paid 10-15$ for a tourney mode with just the WC squads, the stadium and match ball. From a business perspective I don't get where alienating 12 million NG users makes sense but whatever...

The uniform update is nice and all, except for that fact that even though Nike, for example, has pretty much the same GK shirt across all nations (except for the crest, obviously), the keepers all have generic shirts.

Lame.

Spent 50k on packs and got David Villa and Michu as best players...
