All Patch Notes for EA Sports FC 24 Title Update #4

EA has parted company with FIFA which is why we’re getting EA Sports FC 24 instead of FIFA 24. Now, it’s received its fourth update and if you’re wondering what’s changed, here are all patch notes for EA Sports FC 24 title update #4

Here’s What EA Sports FC 24’s Latest Patch Does

Why did EA part company with FIFA? Basically, money. EA has never publicly confirmed the figure but it’s believed FIFA wanted $300m for the company to keep using the license. They said no and that’s why we’ve got the EA Sports FC series.

EA Sports FC 24’s fourth update features a host of changes including bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. As far as gameplay goes, there aren’t any massive, game altering changes but the changes that are in title update #4 should improve the FC 24 experience a little.

For example, acrobatic shots in EA FC 24 are still powerful after the patch, but they’re now marginally less accurate. And if you take a first time Precision Pass at an extreme angle it’ll have less of a curve. It sounds like the game was getting into Wanted “curve the bullet” territory.

On top of that there are plenty of bug fixes, including one that stops the ball sticking to players legs. It’s probably a good idea to squash that good one. Earlier versions of FIFA – FIFA 12 etc, were infamous for some ridiculous, ridiculous bugs.

So what else has changed? Here are all the patch notes for EA Sports FC 24 title update #4.
