A new title update has been released in EA FC 25. The biggest change concerns a pass that was unnaturally effective in the game. On MeinMMO we present you the most important patch notes for the latest update.

    Weakened lob passes and other changes

    We will summarize the most important changes clearly below. If you want to look at all the new features in detail, you can do so in the Trello published by EA for Title Update 7.

    What is the biggest change in the new update? The most relevant thing for gameplay is the adaptation of the directly played, high through passes (L1+Triangle/LB+Y). Many players take advantage of this OP mechanic to jump past your defenders so that the opposing strikers could all too easily run towards your goal unchallenged.

    This should now become less likely, because EA writes in Trello: “We have reduced the accuracy of directly forwarded, high through passes.” (via Trello EA Sports Title Update 7)
