FIFA 21 Title Update #8: Ultimate Team ball change among FUT tweaks

Title Update #8 will soon be available on all platforms, and FUT fans will be more than happy with some of the adjustments made.

Take a look at what has changed on Ultimate Team below.

Title Update #8

The latest FIFA 21 update became available on PC/Steam on Tuesday, 12 January, and is set for release on Tuesday, 19 January on all consoles.

There are plenty of updates across the game, with some particularly good news for Ultimate Team fans.

Ball Change

Great news FUT fans!

“In online matches, players will no longer see their opponent’s equipped Ball Item, they will instead always see their own.”

This is a big change as there have been complaints about being able to see certain balls.

We are sure glad to see the back of the dark leather ball!

Step Overs

There have been several adjustments made to Step Overs too.

Both the Step Over and Reverse Step Over are “no longer considered Easy Skill Moves and will be less effective when chained together while moving.”

These have also been slowed down with player transition slower when exiting the skill move.
