A new royal family a wild nobility we are the family!

If I'm not mistaken they clearly state in the changelog there are changes in AI.

Optimized goalkeeper rushing, AI, and positioning.

This can't mean they only focused on the goalkeepers right?

Positioning post patch is exactly what they advertised before the release of the game. Defenders now come first to the ball by putting the whole body in front of the attacker. It's like the video with the features EA released the summer. Before the patch this feature was not implemented well.

I think that's exactly what it means. No mention of defender positioning, just goalkeepers. I'm sure if they improved more than that they would be more than happy to share it with everyone and take credit.

The improvements in D positioning, tackles and cpu teammates are certain. It's the first thing you'll notice.

The issue with that is SoFIFA does not have the rosters post patch updated.... Unless I am way confused SoFIFA has the rosters as they are as of Oct. 2nd which is prepatch. I know as of Oct. 2nd he does not have a real face.

Someone who has the patch on PC just needs to look. I will try to get a hold of my friend who has the PC game or get to thier house and check myself.

I bet he doesn't have a real face but on Twitter and other places including this forum people are saying the patch includes real face updates, which has Memphis included. The thing is everyone saying "yes" and everyone saying "no" are people who do not have the patched game.. I am hoping someone who actually has the PC version can just check.

I do not want to start a giant debate but all of us PS and XBOX gamers should just wait and see about gameplay. The patch may not even be the same. If you take a look at other EA games the patch for PC games does not always include what is in the PS and XBOX patch and vise versa.

The game at release played different on PC than PS4 (I have played both, they are different), so it would make sense to me if the patch is actually different once it drops. My guess is this Tuesday maybe? As Tuesday seems to be the day for things to happen.

That said I like the insite people have been giving and am glad they share their post patch impressions. Just, if you have a PS or XBOX, I would hold off panic or rejoicing until we see what EA says those patches have and then see how the game actually plays.
