In FIFA 20, Title Update 3 is available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Patch 1.04 addresses some issues, but many players expected other changes.
This is what Patch 1.04 brings: The new patch, referred to as Title Update 3 in the changelog, deals with two issues:
- The problems for players using the same EA account across multiple platforms have now been resolved. Errors occurred in Ultimate Team and VOLTA – these should no longer appear.
- Additionally, the patch is expected to improve stability when starting a game.
However, EA apparently did not meet expectations.
Players had hoped for a different update
This is how FIFA 20 players are reacting: The update has been communicated by EA much more reservedly compared to the very extensive Title Update 2. However, the changes are also less significant. Players have been hoping for some improvements for a while.
These mainly affect the career mode. It is currently still quite buggy and makes it difficult for many players to enjoy the game. Among other things, the career mode suffers from:
- Top teams relegating without a sound
- Teams choosing weak starting lineups
- Positions changing unintentionally
- The dynamic potential not functioning correctly.
The career mode is one of the biggest points of criticism from the community for the game. EA announced last week that they would work on it – but that the fixes would take time. The current patch does not offer any solutions for these problems. Accordingly, some players express their dissatisfaction on reddit.
“Well, this is a disappointment,” says user “LiveBuyer”. User “Itaney” thinks: “This update is useless. There are so many bugs, the game is basically broken.” Overall, fans mention several bugs across different modes – the update does not address any of these.
This missing fix is celebrated by fans: At least one issue is currently bringing joy to players. The “Fitness Bug” ensures that normally exhausted players in Ultimate Team appear completely fit in Squad Battles or Rivals matches. Fitness cards are therefore not needed at the moment.
And indeed: The current patch does not fix the fitness issue. User “fifanoob” says: “I can’t believe they didn’t fix the fitness. Normally EA fixes everything that gives players an advantage. EA is changing!”
Also, FIFA 20 is currently making headlines outside of the actual game. A data leak regarding the Global Series has caused problems:
