According to the latest FIFA podcast, EA will be implementing some “big corrections” in a forthcoming FIFA 12 patch for consoles.
A number of fixes are also planned for the PC version of the game, including connectivity issues relating to Origin.
One particular problem with the console version was highlighted.
When playing online players can control their goalkeeper, leaving the AI to take care of the outfield players.
“People seem to be exploiting this,” said senior community manager Romily Broad Broad. “If they’re not very good at defending they can use this to get an unfair advantage.”
“People who are very good at the game won’t have a problem. They’ll just be able to pass it around your defenders and you’ll find yourself one-on-one with their top strikers every time.”
“But that’s something we’ve got under review. If we think the vast majority of people hate it we’ll do something about it.”
“I can’t tell you any more than that. I can’t tell you when that might happen, but we’re reviewing all the feedback from people. We’re looking especially, even harder, at the game telemetry. If you go to our forums and hear everyone saying the same thing, that’s great, but you can’t just rely on that because the people who haven’t got a problem with it aren’t talking. So we need to figure out what they’re doing as well.”
The first patch for the console version is expected to be released in the next 14 to 21 days.
