FIFA 23 players claim Title Update 4 has \u201cruined\u201d Ultimate Team matches EAFIFA 23 have criticized the game\u2019s most recent patch, Title Update 4, claiming it has \u201cruined\u201d the standard Ultimate Team match and undone this year\u2019s focus on realism. FIFA 23\u2019s fourth major update went live on November 16. Title Update 4 changed many aspects of this year\u2019s football simulation title, but the most notable changes went towards weakening outside-of-the-foot shots and buffing semi-assisted through balls. However, now that players have been able to get hands-on experience with the new gameplay, responses have largely criticized the changes and claimed it has \u201cruined\u201d the slower, more realistic, and tactical feel FIFA 23 was able to generate. FIFA 23 Title Update 4 blasted by players Plenty of FIFA fans flocked to the game\u2019s subreddit to lament the changes, arguing it has returned FIFA to a game based around pace. Previously, slower and stronger \u2018lengthy\u2019 players were considered meta, in a welcome departure from the franchise\u2019s emphasis on pace. One player claimed it returned FIFA to the same formula as the last 4 years, saying: \u201c[It] was refreshing and enjoyable to have a FIFA title that you could use Tall & Strong players in an effective way, along with the smaller more agile players\u2026 Unfortunately (and rather predictably) the game has been patched and gone backwards, not forwards. It\u2019s the same boring stale meta of FUT from the past.\u201d Another said the changes have \u201cruined\u201d the game, explaining: \u201cIt is just through ball 99 pace player run after it, shoot score everything. That\u2019s not rewarding. Before the patch it was nice to manually defend this plays. Now, it\u2019s just sitting back hoping to not get a player in behind.\u201d However, some players did welcome the shift in meta, arguing that it keeps FIFA titles fresh and forces players to adapt. \u201cI can actually pull off a smart dribble move,\u201d one fan said, \u201cand use a sprint boost to get past my opponent, rather than just getting trucked every time I touch the ball. This feels like actual FIFA again.\u201d Of course, EA will never be able to please everyone but it does seem that many think the Title Update 4 has missed the mark in terms of finding a balance between slow, strong players and rapid, tricky wingers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
