FIFA has become a juggernaut of a franchise–which means unless EA improves their infrastructure, there will be a lot of problems due to the sheer number of people trying to play the game. EA has announced the first title update for FIFA 13 which attempts to fix a lot of buys and online issues.
They have also said in the FIFA 13 blog that while there are a lot of complaints from fans, they can’t fix everything.
“Some fans may wonder why we can’t fix all the known issues at once. That’s a fair question and the answer isn’t quite as simple. We are delivering improvements and fixes in such a way to ensure the millions of people playing FIFA 13 each day do not experience undue or overly lengthy network/server outages, that title updates and other improvements are done to a high quality, and that we’re confident the changes will improve the FIFA 13 experience for everyone,” the blog reads.
Check out the fixes being employed by the title update.
