Was Tim Cahill's FIFA 15 rating increased after fan outrage?

The game is all set for a worldwide release next week

Australian veteran Tim Cahill’s rating in FIFA 15 seems to have had an upgrade after a massive fan outrage. EA SPORTS have been revealing the ratings of the players prior to the release of the game on the 23rd of September, and fans were let known that the former Everton star was rated just 69 in the game this year.

Some fans even threatened to boycott the game which forced EA to take up the issue and clarify the fact that they had a data error previously. They further went on to add in a series of tweets that his original rating in the game is actually 74 and not 69.

Cahill who features on the cover alongside the global coverstar Lionel Messi, will be in New York on Thursday to launch the game.

.@Tim_Cahill will be a 74 Overall in #FIFA15. The data being reported on was not final. It was a database error and will be corrected.

The information that has been reported on was pulled from a resource without access to final #FIFA15 data.
