GAMEPLAY CHANGES: Expect to see some bug changes in Title Update #8

Here are the patch notes from the FIFA 22 Title Update #8:

Gameplay

  • The Drag To Drag Skill Move can be interrupted earlier in the animation after being performed with the right analog input.


Addressed the following issues:

  • When the attacking player was performing a cross, Auto Switching did not occur as expected for the defending team if their controlled player was Containing.
  • When a goal was scored in the last moment of a match, it wasn’t being counted towards the result in some rare instances.
  • When playing Co-Op, the initial kick off pass animation was taking slightly longer than intended.
  • In some rare situations, the goalkeeper rushed towards the ball carrier without being requested to do so.


VOLTA FOOTBALL

  • VOLTA ARCADE could display as being unavailable even when it was available.
    In some cases, a red ball could have been used on a red surface, making it difficult to view the ball.


Pro Clubs

  • Club and Virtual Pro information could disappear from the UI after sending Drop-In invites. This was a visual issue only.


General, Audio, and Visual

  • Updated some kits and stadia.
  • Added and updated a total of 51 new star heads.
    These will only be available following a server update. Please follow @EAFIFADIRECT for updates on when this will be live in-game.
