Fans of PlayStation and Xbox consoles will now see the changes in the game to keep up with the PC and Stadia users.

DLC Error

FIFA players have seen an error message pop up when they start the game, saying that DLC assets are damaged.

Pressing cancel just allows you through to the game, but what about the damaged assets? Is Title Update #16 the solution to the problem?

SOURCE OF THE ISSUE - Are the MLS kits the reason for the error message

The FIFA Direct Communications Twitter posted: "We're aware of reports that players are receiving an error message related to DLC assets and are actively investigating. In the meantime, players can select "cancel" to proceed to the main menu."

Are these DLC errors related to the new retro MLS kits we have seen introduced to the game, or are they related to something much more exciting like a potential EURO 2020 feature in Ultimate Team to replace the usual Team of the Week?
