Gameplay Fixes and Adjustments
This update focuses on correcting situations that could lead to unconvincing or unintended behaviour, without significantly changing overall game balance.
Passing
- Fixed crosses playing at a lower trajectory than expected.
Traps
- Adjusted mid-air ball control so the ball no longer rolls over a player's body for an extended time before hitting the ground.
- Adjusted thigh and chest control activation so players take more appropriate touches on mid-air balls.
- Reduced unnecessary deceleration when controlling a ball while dashing forward.
- Reduced the slowdown that occurred just before a player received a through ball.
Defence
- Fixed simultaneous tackle fouls being called on the wrong player; once a tackle succeeds, other players now avoid tackling.
- Fixed defensive players targeting a position where the ball is not located when the ball holder is taking a first touch.
- Fixed unnecessary blocks on slow balls from spilled possession.
AI
- Fixed cross receivers drifting toward opposition players despite being in open space.
- Fixed defensive players not controlled by the user turning unnaturally away from the ball holder.
- Fixed lowering Attack/Defence Level causing out-of-position man-marking.
- Adjusted midfield positioning during goal kicks to reduce vulnerability to counter attacks.
- Adjusted centre-back positioning during free kicks so they no longer stand behind the kicker.
- Adjusted corner kick taker positioning to reduce offside returns.
- Adjusted man-marking player movement so passes behind the defensive line at kick-off are harder to play.
- Reduced frequency of the AI playing short passes to nearby defenders during goal kicks when a specific Team Playstyle is set.
Controls
- Fixed body contact causing a player to turn in an unsuitable direction relative to the opposition.
- Fixed the cursor landing on players doing post-action animations; those players now cancel their animations promptly so the user regains control faster.
- Fixed Shoulder Charge triggering instead of a clearance when both commands share the same input while the ball is in the air.
- Fixed body contact triggering instead of ball retention when Match-up and Shield share the same input.
Other Gameplay Adjustments
- Improved heading motion selection so player height and jumping stats are better reflected in aerial challenges.
iOS and Android only
- Fixed Classic control type: dash no longer requires a second input after changing Attack/Defence Level while holding the Dash button.
