FIFA 17 has received a brand new update that brings a number of changes. The update, which is live now, will be automatically downloaded when players load up the game. The 1GB patch brings a number of changes to Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and some minor presentation and gameplay changes.
EA has revealed through their forums that the latest patch for FIFA 15 is now available for PC and PlayStation 4. Xbox One users will have to wait a short time before being able to download the update and there was no word about whether it will be coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. According to the patch notes the second title update brings a number of important changes to the annual soccer game, including modifying the behaviour of goalkeepers and improvements to the shooting mechanic. This will be good news to long-time fans who felt that only the very best players were able hit the target on a regular basis, while goalkeepers have demonstrated a number of problems in catching the ball and being lobbed frequently.
