EA Sports FC 24 released its eighth Title Update last week, but the team at Electronic Arts isn’t resting on its laurels for long. Today, the team announced that another patch is coming soon to all consoles. Title Update 9 in EA Sports FC 24 has several key fixes, particularly on the gameplay side of things, which players will want to get used to quickly. The most notable change in this update is the tweaks to outside foot shots. Previously, players with the Trivela PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ were using this skill to score wonder goals with ease. As part of Title Update 9, EA Sports FC 24 has reduced the effectiveness, accuracy, and spin of outside foot shots.

It’s a huge change that could have a massive impact on your gameplay if you’re someone who takes advantage of the skill. Considering it’s been so effective, that’s going to be a large chunk of the player base. It’s not the only change the team is making. EA has addressed a few issues in Player Career and has ironed out a few bugs that have been plaguing Ultimate Team recently. The latter includes an issue with Evolutions that was causing crashes when trying to Evolve a card that was used in a previous Evolution. Of course, there are also several other general bug fixes that should please most fans.
