Pre & Post Patch Discussion

[michs09]

How do you guys feel about the FIFA 14 patches? Below are my general feelings towards some of the issues etc..

Pre:
- Long Consistent Finesse Shots
- Keepers allow too many goals
- Heavy Stutter when switching players on chip through balls / crossing

Post:
- Finesse & Power are closer balanced
- Quicker Game Speed
- The stutter on switching is still relevant

What do you guys think? (Corners still OP)

Its bad & reversed back to resembling 13 one week into release (after day 1 sales of course and pre demo hype sales), and that's why if you go to the mods/patches section you will see AI modders making something far better than EA do with their internal "feed the children for sales" targets & marketing strategies.

Really bad. The prepatch wasn't perfect but was way more fair and good. The defenders got better positioning and also the midfielders went to give a hand on defense. Because of that, the counter were less effective, you had to think if was better to run slower, make a pass and when make it. The only bad was that some players recognised because they're too fast, but not enough in the game. Also the prepatch version had all the feautres announced by EA Sports. Now its a game about counter, lob pass and pace abuse. The defenders are worst than the prepatch version, the midfielders dont run backwards to get again the ball, and the best way to get a chance is pressing lob pass/high pass button from box to box(at least in assissted i see that. I play in manual so is more difficult to do it).
The goalkeepers seems to be poorer also. Now i cant believe how i dominate a game with a possession between 60/70%, the other team park the bus and play to counterattacks all the time and incredibly that way they have more and better chances. It's annoying. I decided not to play anymore online modes and probably not getting a FIFA 15 copy.
