We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
It's not a massive difference, but it's enough to feel like it's operating on a different engine of sorts--I know it's Frostbite, but there are sufficient enough tweaks that it feels different to PS4.

I haven't been paying attention and I guess im just used to it being automatic.
They've gone a little overboard with the PBR/light bounce from the grass imho.
The green tint on the already not so great skin shader looks harsh.
i love it in spiderman, and astro, and imagine its great in driving games, but sports ... it needs to be subtle like spiderman
It was on sale(the last gen version) for $27
Can I delete the last gen version on my XSX now that I have the next gen version?
next gen versions are smaller, due to less repeated assets , and yeh you can delete prior ed
The game feels much much different perhaps it's because it's behind on patches, I don't know. But Promes scores everything.
If you're convinced you'll be able to get games since it's not crossplay.

Thanks. I also noticed that my Ultimate Team is linked to both games.
Already regretting buying this piece of shit on the black friday sale. Gameplay and AI is still laughable.
Played the intro game and another one. In both, the computer equalized due to a horrible mistake by the keeper.
Defender are still stupid as fuck and feels like pace is still king with the same kind of set pieces being the way to success.
Also nice how the game is bombarding me with messages about stuff but when I actually get to do something like a penalty there is no info at all how it works.
Fortunately, the computer was even worse than me at penalties.

Played a couple of games on ultimate team. It's the same old crap from EA, they make changes just for the sake of it but really there's no improvements to the game. And the adaptive triggers towards the end of the matches is ridiculous.
It doesn't matter what version of Fifa it is, I can leave the game for ages, come back and pick it up with no problems. I actually want to learn some new mechanics.

Yes, the adaptive triggers were a reason for me to buy the game (new console features and graphics) but they have really overdone it.
Way too much and my finger was already tired after 2 games.
Having played over 1000 hours of FIFA 20, I can immediately notice the difference. It looks a lot crisper and most of the popular players look very detailed. The game looks great. You don't notice it too much during the regular play, but whenever a replay comes up, it's easy to notice. Animations also feel ever so slightly improved, makes for a slightly different gameplay feeling. I have to be honest, this exceeded my expectations, only because this is EA we are talking about. I expected them to do the bare minimum and at the earliest make FIFA 22 have these graphics. So props to them. But yeah, with AI still having lots of room for improvement and servers still being horrendous in FUT most of the time, some nice eye candy can only do so much.
Edit: Also while I'm a huge fan of the Dualsense, the adaptive triggers don't do anything for me. It's a nice concept in theory, but having to fight the controller towards the end of every match with fatigue setting in is not something I want to do in competitive online games.

I feel like the graphical improvements, especially in actual gameplay, are minor and about what I expected from EA (ie no stand out tech, lighting, shader and model improvements, instead it's negligible differences).
Yes, things are a bit cleaner than vs the Pro, lighting is a tad more realistic, but there's very little in it. The most notable graphical difference is the hair, which you barely notice in actual gameplay.
I'd say the best element of the upgrade is the use of adaptive triggers, but other than that I find this next-gen upgrade from a technical perspective really disappointing.

Don't we have an OT for this game? I dunno if my career mode is fucked, I can't increase my players OVR rating. He got to 91.5 and now been stuck for nearly a year. I'd been training every available slot with hard modes all A ratings. Bagging plenty of goals per game and getting 10 ratings. Is this a known glitch?
Just played a few games. Decent upgrade overall but nothing spectacular. New camera is alright but I won't be using it online. Turned off the trigger resistance as others suggested, does not improve the game at all.
yeah!!
Tried in fifa is a bit to much but playing offline I still leave on.
On Nba2k21 feel unplayable to me.
I can get this for 50% off at the moment and I'm really considering it. I'm not a big sports game player at all but it just looks really great. Feels like one of the few examples so far that shows what's possible beyond higher resolution, frame rate, and raytracing.

Still can't download the actual game on Xbox, only the trial.
In the store on the console it says "cannot be purchased separately" and on the webstore it prompts me to "redeem code" where the purchase option should be.
Hopefully this gets fixed later.

I am having the same issue. I am a bit confused how others managed to get the upgrade.
Graphics are nice.
Not played FIFA in about 7 years (I'm an eFootball Pro Evolution guy myself) but holy shit what godawful things have they done to defending. It's like they've combined inept controls with atrocious AI. My centre backs just stand there if someone is running at them and they're not being controlled. Similarly the defenders abilities just don't seem to match the level of control an attacker has. It's chaos.

This is the first fifa I've put more than an hour playing since like fifa 13. My buddy and I played coop ultimate team for like 4 hours straight and lost every match until the last one. Felt so fucking good catching a W.
It shows up if I pick full library from my games and apps, right next to the Xbox One version.
It's called tactical defending .if you play offline you can turn it off.
It's not God awful. You have to defend yourself instead of holding a button and letting the AI doing everything .
How is coop in ut? Its a mix of each user players or you iust play with one user team?
I tried doing the defending Skills tests last night, and by the end of it I was improving. I'm interested from those who've played with it extensively if it's something that gets easier over time and actually increases the skill ceiling, or if it's always a little bit janky? It just feels like the attacker always has the advantage on getting a shot away.
Also, two things, what's the best usage of the A button, and is there a way to make a second defender press?
My biggest disappointment is that the normal gameplay view on the pitch still looks quite... drab? for the lack of a better word? The game looks great in cut-scenes and replays but the lighting feels very flat otherwise.
It's the adaptive triggers. It's only really noticeable in FIFA because of how often it changes.
Yep. Feels weird until you get used to it, but it's how they work.
If you learn it it will be much better to defend but it takes skill.
Don't rush into the attack. Stay back and defend the open spaces. It's much more realistic .
Go into the control setting . You can call a second defender .
My controls are call second defender on circle. Tackle/press on x. The other defending option , don't know what it's called is on R1.

That's EA for you. Considering how much of a monopoly they have on sports titles they are pretty poor when keeping things up to date.
Update is nice but the lack of cross play sucks. A group of friends and I play pro clubs and we don't have any of our data on the ps5 version. We were in division 1 and we can't even pick it up on the ps5 version. Pretty disappointing.
It is honestly setting false expectations. Unless you're a fan of the 'core' licenced teams like Liverpool / Barca etc. you're out of luck. I understand they have big fanbases, it's just a little misleading. I say 'core' because as an AC Milan fan I was excited for this year's FIFA because they announced a licenced deal, yet that wasn't enough for them to be given the same treatment as others. I should have expected this to be honest!
Because it's a lot of work?
I work for a different company that makes sports games and am involved in our process for making heads. We don't have EA's budget but we have the same problem and utilise the same solution. With our most recent release we have three types of head - generic heads for lesser known players that are generated semi procedurally, old 'star' heads that were built to fit a specification from several years ago, and new 'star' heads that are built to fit this year's new technology.
In the end all I'd remind everyone of is that recreating a real person's head to that fidelity is not an easy process. Most games craft a handful of characters that look great, but sports games have to handle hundreds at least. Not only that but recreating a real person is generally more challenging than a created one because people know what they look like and you can't design them to be easy to render well either.
It's not necessarily the player likeness of the face that irks me, I can understand that will need work. However when you have 50 odd generic hairstyles that can be updated it just comes across as lazy when you only apply the detail to a handful and market it as a step change between generations. It is clear to me that this was a small job to get it in time for launch of the new systems which I appreciate. I really hope they put in abit more work on these models overall for FIFA 22.
