EA has released the patch notes for EA Sports FC 25The latest game update update.
The Mid-Season Update, or Title Update 8, is now available for PC and consoles and is “the most significant mid-season game overhaul we’ve ever done,” based on player feedback, according to EA.
With this update, EA has implemented “major updates” to core gameplay systems that affect matches, such as passing, shooting, goaltending, and defense.
It also made the game “more offensively fluid” to allow for greater control over the ball, reduced the frequency of AI tacklebacks and interceptions, as well as addressing issues such as defenders catching up to dribblers too often.
As detailed in the extensive patch notes, Title Update 8 has now made balance adjustments to attack and defense, making them more “effective and fun.”
Some of the ways this was achieved were by improving the quality of attacking runs by AI teammates when attempting to overcome the offside line, increasing the intelligence of attacking and supporting runs made by teammates. AI team and improving the effectiveness of inside and advanced forwards.
Offensive players will also find that they can now operate better in attacking spaces close to others, rather than stopping their runs, and players can now provide support more quickly when they are familiar with their roles.

For example, the speed and accuracy of normal ground passes have now been slightly increased, along with the effectiveness of semi-assisted passes.

Among many other adjustments and bug fixes, players may also find that shot accuracy and speed from inside the box have increased, while goalkeepers’ handling of near-post shots has changed after discovering that sometimes they could move away incorrectly from the near post. in tight angle shooting situations.
