EA Sports FC 24 Patch Notes Released for Update 7

01/16/2024 03:14 pm EST

Most EA Sports FC 24 fans are squarely focused on the upcoming Team of the Year promo in Ultimate Team. However, the developers continue to work to improve the game from every angle. Today, the team announced that Title Update 7 is coming soon to EA Sports FC 24 and revealed the full patch notes. This patch includes a whole host of gameplay changes that players will want to get familiar with as soon it launches, especially if they're planning to compete in Champs to earn a few great packs during the TOTY period. 

Some of the more notable changes from the patch focus on changes to passing. Developer Electronic Arts has gone through and tuned several different passing types, including Lobbed Passes, Precision Passes, and Swerved Through Passes, among others. On top of that, the team has implemented a few player-switching updates that should help you get to the correct player more often when defending. EA has also cleaned up several menu issues that have been plaguing the Ultimate Team menus for the last few weeks, hopefully smoothing everything out before TOTY.

Below, you'll find the full patch notes for Title Update 7. EA Sports FC 24 is out now on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, and PC platforms.
