Another update has arrived in FIFA 22, with fans set to see improvements made to the game.

Major improvements are set to be made across the board, with a brand new skill move set to arrive, alongside a number of changes to shot types.

Check below for the full patch notes for Title Update #14

Gameplay

Made the following changes:

• Increased the likelihood of a knuckle ball shot occurring when requesting a high powered shot while the ball is 0.67 meters/2.2 feet away from the ball carrier.
• Added the new Ball Roll Cut 180 Skill Move that can be performed by players with a 4 or 5 star Skill Move rating.
• Greatly increased the accuracy of low and mid powered Low Driven Shots.
• Significantly reduced the reach of attempted shot blocks by AI controlled players.
• Significantly decreased the range required for a defender to attempt a tackle without being requested to do so.
• Increased the distance between the defender and the ball carrier when the defender is requested to Contain or Teammate Contain.
• Slightly increased the effectiveness of Finesse Shots in potential goalscoring situations in which the ball carrier is not under heavy pressure from a defender or goalkeeper.
• Increased the speed at which the ball travels at following a low or mid powered header.
  - Lower powered headers are more likely to produce a lower ball trajectory.
• Increased the speed at which the ball travels at following a chipped header.
• Lowered the ball trajectory that can result from a chipped header.
• Slightly increased animation speeds when dribbling, Agile Dribbling, and Strafe Dribbling.
• Slightly increased the animation speed of Reverse Stepover, Stepover, and Body Feint Skill Moves.
• Slightly reduced the reach of attempted shot blocks by human controlled players.

FIFA Ultimate Team

Addressed the following issue:

• The Compare Price functionality did not always provide search results when used on some Stadium and Consumable Items.

VOLTA FOOTBALL

Addressed the following issue:

• One of the default Avatars was not wearing shoes on the selection screen, and if that Avatar was selected, shoes could not be equipped to them.

FIFA 23 Tests

The arrival of this update could offer some insight as to the type of gameplay we could see in FIFA 23, with a vast amount of changes made likely to act as tests ahead of the next game.

The arrival of a new skill move could also indicate that neat touches and unique takes of the ball could be a major feature in FIFA 23.

It remains to be seen if these changes will have a positive effect on FIFA 22, or leave fans asking why they didn't just leave it alone.
