There's really no reason to play the game without the ini. Grab ver2.8, apply my sliders and you're all set. The ini won't break anything regarding the gameplay improvements of this title update.

Excuse me, but where can I get this ini file? And your sliders?

Weird that it's all positive comments on this board about the new patch but go to the EA forum and they are saying the lobbed through balls are worse, team doesn't hold their shape and that it's generally more arcadey. I haven't tried it yet as I gave up on fifa after a week lol

FIFA 15 Title Updates Arrive For Multiple Consoles and PC, Details Included

Still no fix for the five-minue added time and handball bugs. Those should have been no-brainers...

Last night I had two +3:00 and a +4:00. Not perfect, but it wasn't +5:00 every time. I play 10 min halves of that means anything.

I got several games in last night and the difference is astonishing in my opinion. The 3 biggest improvements are plain to see:

1) The CPU passes a lot more. They pass backwards, they leave little dinks for teammates running behind them, and they were even making first touch passes against me on several occasions. It still doesn't feel quite as realistic as the CPU's passing on PES, but nonetheless a massive improvement which helps the game immensely.

2) The defense is more organized. Guys stay in their areas, and CPU teammates and opponents are far peskier around the ball. In my experiences pre-patch (world class), the more aggressive team would usually average around 15 shots a game, sometimes 20 or more if they were really playing well. Now in 4 games the highest shot total I've seen from either side has been 10. That's awesome.

3) The CPU takes a lot more unpredictable attempts on goal. I've seen guys hit curlers from 20 yds, hit volleys on goal off of keeper punch outs or deflections, and plenty of other times they've just had a go when they were open, in situations I haven't seen them shoot before.

I'm still soaking it all in, and trying to decide once and for all if I'm a Normal or Slow speed kind of guy, but I'm truly shocked by how much more I've enjoyed the game in the past day. Nice work EA!

Just me are suffering with fouls? :/ Every time i come closer to the opponent, i hear the whistle...
Meanwhile, CPU appears being immune to fouls, even in late slide tackles (which are really common after the patch). And still win every single fight for possession.

This is just a random Play Now with defaults. No goals, but a nice example of the new back and forth with the CPU, even on Pro Level. Sorry about the freezes, still getting Action sorted out. That said, I really feel this is about "PES-like" as I've ever seen a Fifa title look. Until the underlying A.I. is less offensive and aggressive and team personalities actually become a focus of the designers, this is the about as good as we're going to get. And I think this is pretty darn good. Great job, EA. Shake them haters off!

I've played a good sample of games now post-patch (PS4), and the most prominent change to me is the game feels like it has, to a large degree, been taken off the rails.

I'm not saying all of the classic game-shaping/scaling stuff is gone, but overall gameplay feels like it is less rigidly contextually prescribed, and I don't feel as if I am experiencing those moments of utter helplessness.

For instance, now there are moments where the cpu has an advantage with ball movement and pressure, but the difference feels like I, as the user, have a far greater influence on the outcome if I work to maintain my defensive shape, or make a smart clearance. Overall I seem to be punished for my mistakes and unwise plays at the wrong time, and not just forced into mistakes through suspect ball behavior or inferior players suddenly playing like Ballon d'Or winners.

I also think I might be experience a sense of the inherent disparity between top tier clubs and lesser clubs during gameplay for the first time in the series for a while.

It needs some new slider tweaks, but I am pleased with the gameplay alterations in this update.

Hmmm this looks interesting. Wonder if they fixed the bug that gets us fired right after changing club in Career Mode.

Who were you controlling?

Man U. Which is kind of what I'm loving. I made a couple of bonehead defensive plays by getting too far forward, but was able to recover.( that was my tactics, I was playing balanced, when I normally play defensive) What I loved is that the CPU felt more "human." There is just this new feeling of being "organic" that I've never experienced with Fifa before. I really, really like it.

Different groups of players. I would suspect that those on the EA forums are playing at a lower level of difficulty in general. So game play may be different for them. Or maybe it is more difficult so they are complaining.

Lots of different people playing the game, some love to win every game 20 to 0. Can't please everyone.

Yeah, I think those are primarily online—FUT, Seasons, H2H, whatever modes there are these days—with most mechanics assisted or semi-assisted.

No doubt it is the more arcadey game compared to PES, but it's nowhere near what they are describing on slow and full manual.

Ya like the 8 year olds love to win 20-0. And like most of us, we like a challenge. Harder the game the better the game
