EA Sports has released a FIFA 14 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/sports/13211/fifa-14/) title update to address a number of issues, while also confirming that it's investigating reports of the game freezing for some users.
In a post on the company's website (http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/2605613.page), a community manager explained that the day one patch addresses "stability issues found in the closed beta and minor fixes to a couple game mode (Skill Games, Creation Centre) items".

"Finally," the community manager said, "we're aware that some users are experiencing freezes during the game. We continue to investigate these reports internally, and with our partners, and will update the community when we know more."
The game launched yesterday in the US ahead of the FIFA 14 release date (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/408713/fifa-14-release-date-pre-order-incentives-confirmed/) of September 27 throughout Europe.
CVG said in its FIFA 14 review (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/429134/reviews/review-fifa-14-is-still-king-despite-some-clumsy-steps-review/): "It's such a ludicrously comprehensive sports game, where any one mode could easily see you through to next season, that the small and clumsy steps it takes backwards courtesy of Precision Movement do little to spoil the party. Slightly slower and a little worn out in the legs, FIFA 14 is still king."
