EA FC 25 patch notes – passing updates arrive in Title Update 7 with finesse shot nerf coming soon

0

EA has made a handful of changes to EA FC 25 in the latest Title Update, but what’s more interesting is the changes promised for the future.

EA Sports has released its first EA FC 25 Title Update since the huge Frost update, with the latest set of EA FC 25 patch notes revealing changes to passing, goalkeeping, and much-needed Ultimate Team updates.

As we hurl towards the highly-anticipated TOTY promo in EA FC 25, which is set to be released later this monthEA Sports is making sure the game is in tip-top shape for the TOTY event, with a new set of EA FC 25 patch notes being introduced in-game. The latest update, Title Update 7, focuses on gameplay changes as we saw with the Frost Update, but what seems to be grabbing players’ attention more is the changes promised for the future, including a finesse shot nerf, big passing changes, and a boost for players with pace.

Here are the full EA FC 25 patch notes for Title Update 7, which is now live across all platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

EA FC 25 patch notes – Title Update 7

The latest set of EA FC 25 patch notes (Title Update 7) is now available for all versions of EA FC 25, as per a post on the game’s official Trello board. But, more interestingly, EA confirmed some of the future updates set to come in EA FC 25, and these seem to be changing more pressing issues, including a nerf to finesse shots.

In a post on Twitter from its @EASFCDirect account, EA announced that the following changes would be made in the next update:

  • Ground pass speed
  • Players without the ball catching up to the dribbler regardless of pace difference
  • Keeper positioning
  • Finesse shot playstyle
  • AI defender interceptions
  • Tacklebacks
  • Assisted Shooting (Lace & Finesse shots)

Finesse shots have been one of the most overpowered ways to score in EA FC 25, but after this update and power shots being nerfed in the latest live tuning update, it seems we’re running out of ways to score. We could see fast-attacking players become even more overpowered with an update on how often players catch up to players dribbling with the ball while passing may also be improved, depending on if they are increasing or decreasing ground pass speed.

Here are the full EA FC 25 patch notes for Title Update 7:

Ultimate Team

Addressed the following issues:

  • When opening a Player Pick Item and performing specific actions, the Player Item could display as tradable; this was a visual issue only.
  • Addressed a stability issue that could occur when opening multiple Player Pick Packs.
  • Sometimes, Player Item portraits could have appeared misaligned with the rest of the Player Item during the walkout animation.
  • When opening a pack containing double walkout Player Items, the details of the second Player Item were shown. Details of the first player reveal will now be displayed in the tunnel sequence.
  • Sometimes, the country flag was not displayed on time during the pack opening animation.

Gameplay

Addressed the following issues:

  • In certain situations the positioning system was bringing players too close to the ball carrier when cutting off passing lanes, resulting in auto tackles.
  • This could also result in midfielders being pulled out of position to overload the ball carrier, reducing passing options.
  • Addressed multiple situations where the goalkeeper would deflect the ball instead of catching it, making it look like they “fumbled” the save.
  • Addressed an issue where skill moves could be unresponsive or not be triggered.
  • Addressed an issue where the goalkeeper could sometimes fail to perform desperation animations when running back to the goal on chip shots.
  • Addressed an issue where the player not receiving the ball from the ball kid could cause a broken throw-in animation, preventing the game from progressing.
  • Addressed issues where attempting a lobbed through pass would sometimes result in a through ground pass instead.
  • Players were incorrectly able to do precision lobs off of headers, which could result in headers launching enormous distances across the field.
  • We have resolved this issue and players will no longer be able to perform this action.
  • Sometimes the goalkeeper could trigger an unrealistic jumping animation during a save.
  • Addressed an issue where the Precision Pass UI would incorrectly enlarge after a pass was made.
  • Addressed an issue where a Super Cancel sometimes did not stop the player from running after the ball.
  • Reduced accuracy of first-time lofted through passes.
  • In rare situations, players could appear invisible on the Pitch.

Clubs

Addressed the following issues:

  • At the Top Performers screen, the CPU Avatar could have incorrect body types.
  • Sometimes, following a player disconnecting from the match, the CPU AI would be assigned as the penalty taker.
  • Addressed an issue that would cause UI elements to appear twice on Short Goal Replays.

Career Mode

Addressed the following issues:

  • A stability issue could have occurred while playing Live Starting Point.
  • In Manager Career, a stability issue could have occurred after consecutively substituting players during the simulation.
  • In rare situations, in Manager Career, a stability issue could have occurred when creating a club.
  • In Player Career, addressed some instances of irrelevant and incorrect emails being sent by Managers.

Made the following changes:

  • Increased the amount of Player Roles a player within Manager Career Mode can be familiar with.
  • Updated UEFA competition rules so teams cannot face opponents from their own association (domestic league), and can only be drawn against a maximum of two sides from the same association.

General, Audio, and Visual

Made the following changes:

  • Updated some tifos, stadium themes, balls, kits, hair, stadiums, trophies, star heads, crests, props, scenes, broadcasting, and crowds.
  • Added Favourite Team Selector that allows Squads and Line-Up saves to be carried over to Seasons and Co-Op Seasons.

Addressed the following issues:

  • Addressed instances of placeholder text, incorrect UI elements, incorrect camera angles, and button conflicts.
  • Addressed instances of stability issues that could have occurred.

EA has finally updated the pack walkout animation, with the highest-rated player walking out second rather than first. A simple but effective update!
