EA Games just rolled out the third patch update for "FIFA 15" for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Aside from bug fixes and updates, the new patch includes added content such as new players and kits. Added content is also delivered to PS3 and Xbox 360.
The patch addresses the camera bugs and stability issues that affect the smooth game experience of players. Before "FIFA 15" was launched, EA Games released a demo version of the game in an attempt to sweep the bugs, but not all issues were spotted during the testing stage. In particular, the PC version received criticisms due to the amount of problems found in the game.
What makes "FIFA 15" unique from its predecessors is the Ultimate Team feature, which enables players to sign loan players for a limited time in matches. Players can also access the game's database and create their own "Dream Team" or "Concept Squad."
Meanwhile, "FIFA 15: Holiday Edition" is now available for Xbox One in digital form. The holiday edition features the full game, EA Sports Football Club items, 2200 FIFA points, and Lionel Messi loan player for five games. The game costs $60 and will be available until Jan. 19, 2015. EA Games has not confirmed yet whether it will also release the version in Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
