The FIFA 15 Patch Long post sorry

[elk1024 wer]

Hi guys,

Sorry if you guys are bored of patch threads. This will be my last mention of it.Buy cheap fifa15 coins on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Coins.

Post patch I don't have any desire to play the game. I'm a huge FUT 15 fan, on Fifa 14 I played around 1,500 games and pre FIFA 15 patch I was up to about 600 games on Fifa15. When Fifa15 came out I was terrible. I was trying to defend like I did on 14. My record was roughly 50 wins and 100 losses before I started to adapt and defend manually. I tell you this because even though I was losing matches, I was having way more fun than I ever did on previous fifa instalments. For the first time ever I could accept that if somebody beat me, they were the better player on the day. I'm sure you all experienced losing to a worse player than yourself on 14 due to OP corners etc :-). I couldn't blame any losses on something being broken, it was all down to ability. I was losing games and having fun!

Post patch I'm winning games and not having fun.

I'm in Div1, so the players I come up against are generally skilled players who are fast to adapt and utilise the most effective route to victory (which is great!). This basically means they let the AI do all of the defending and chase back with midfielders. This leads to strange gameplay where the two human players are actually both attacking AI controlled defences. I want to play vs a human controlled defence and I want to thwart attacks myself. In fifa 16 are EA going to introduce 1 button attacking? You hold a button to make your player dribble and shoot at the most opportune moment? It might sound ridiculous, but is that really so much different from 100% controlled defence?

Are there any people playing in Div1 who think the gameplay is OK now? I imagine the players in lower divisions haven't experienced how boring the matches are in Div1. My games generally finish 1-0 or 0-0.

The passing has changed. EA claim it hasn't. Some people claim it is in my head. It isn't. The passing is terrible now. The speed the ball moves is slower, through balls which are aimed sideways now often go towards the opponents goal when previously they would have went sideways.

Skill moves are pointless. I'm not much of a skiller anyway, but it was nice to throw them in now and again. However, the AI controlled defence never falls for any fakes / changes in direction.

High pressure abuse is worse than ever with the buffed auto-tackling.

Random first touches. This one isn't 100%, but the ball certainly seems to bounce off my players a lot more than I remember it doing.

I was sure they would Revert the patch once they saw the backlash after release, but instead they locked threads and seem happy to keep it.

I didn't realise just how much I was enjoying Fifa15 until they patched it. I play it now when I have absolutely nothing better to do, but I never force time for it like I did pre-patch.

Is anyone else hating the post-patch game play to this extent?

Thanks for reading.
