1080p Scaling still doesn't scale properly (March 15th Patch)

Well, the title says it all. This issue is supposed to be fixed in today's patch, but it's not. The UI in 1080p looks as tiny as it looked before. It's true we now can use a lower resolution to "fix" this issue, but it's not an ideal solution since I think everyone would want to use their native resolution with a decent UI size... Image 1 is the game running at 1364x768. Image 2 is the game running at 1920x1080. As you can see, the UI size is still VERY different in 1080p, the issue is not solved yet.

    Some people in the community have suggested lowering the resolution as a solution, so some people at EA actually thought it was a solution. No, this is a terrible mistake. If you don't have a CRT monitor (which I don't think anyone with this problem has a CRT) lowering the resolution will only result in jagged edges, bad anti-aliasing, and a blurry, ugly render. SO THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION. We want to play at native 1080p! THIS SHOULD NOT BE THIS HARD, EA!

  • Agree. 1920x1080 is still the most common resolution and EA can't make proper scaling of UI for this resolution? That's outrageous.

  • This is really starting to make me cranky. I don't understand why they can't at least just make the UI bigger because it's so tiny, I can't even play it for long because it just gives me a headache. Changing the resolution sizes in the option they've added still doesn't even fix it. All it does is make it a tiny box on my screen. It won't fill the screen. I play sims 2 also and now it's done the same thing to that game and you can't even change the resolution size in the game because it greys it out completely. You can't click on anything. You can only do it if you play it in window mode but then if you change the resolution in Window mode, it still changes it into a tiny box on your screen that you can readjust. I am so over this crap! Get it together EA! It's the UI size that's the issue here!

    It's really starting to p*ss me off. It shouldn't be this difficult. Honestly...the pirated version i downloaded for free off the net worked better with no issues at all. I figured I'd do the right thing and pay for the digital version but I guess this is why people end up downloaded it free elsewhere. Sorry not sorry. Facts.
