It all kicked off around the time of the MLS All Star Game in Kansas City (where rumor has it DeAndre Yedlin had his face scanned for FIFA 15). MLS has been publicizing the release of the game with great fanfare as has been the case for the last couple of years ( since EA Sports became a league sponsor). I suspect many of you will be burning up the hours prior to Sunday's massive match vs New York. Too bad Konami got stock way behind with their PES franchise.With the release of EA Sports FIFA 14 earlier this week plenty of people will find themselves unwrapping this latest edition of the company's soccer franchise.
With a such excuse is clearly that EA people will never listen until some other company comes with a better product, or simply, a lot of customers will start not buying the game any more. What if the customers would say to EA, “It’s not physically possible to pay all what you are asking for, but I will be giving you cent by cent as you are fixing the game”? I think these words must not be in a millionaire BIG company’s (like EA) vocabulary, specially when it comes to a franchise which has been out for so many years and still struggling with the same errors over and over again! “The stark reality these days though is that the sheer magnitude of the online aspect of FIFA makes for many uncertainties when releasing a new game into the wild and it’s just not physically possible to test things on the same scales.Īnd unfortunately there’s always going to be people out there hell bent on finding and exploiting anything they can to the detriment of everyone else that just wants to play and have fun.”
Most online titles continuously tweak and update their game on an ongoing basis to make your user experience better.
It’s not just FIFA that releases patches to fix bugs. The good news is that EA seem to be taking a particularly hard line on cheating and foul play this year. The stark reality these days though is that the sheer magnitude of the online aspect of FIFA makes for many uncertainties when releasing a new game into the wild and it’s just not physically possible to test things on the same scales.Īnd unfortunately there’s always going to be people out there hell bent on finding and exploiting anything they can to the detriment of everyone else that just wants to play and have fun.
The patch is great news for anyone affected but there’s always the argument that these issues should have been dealt with prior to release.
The patch is already available to download for PC players and will be released on both PS3 and Xbox consoles in the coming days. It’s been in the spotlight a few times already for bugs and issues.ĮA Sports shows that it’s not just concentrating on the next generation of FIFA though and it’s still committed to trying to provide the best experience it can for current FIFA 13 players by releasing another patch for the game. FIFA 13’s broken records and won plenty of awards but it’s not been without it’s flaws.
