The popularity of Electronic Arts' FIFA series is enormous and its popularity is resulting in plenty of gaming issues.
The company is careful to deal with issues and providing improvements when necessary. EA announced its release Wednesday of an important update that will help players experience the game better, while addressing key problems raised by fans.
While the update is already available for the PC version, updates for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will be available over the weekend.
EA also said in its blog post that it might not be able to address all issues brought to its notice by fans "at once," but stressed the company has "been working extremely hard to prioritize and address the items."

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 post said.
