EA has officially revealed Title Update 1.3.0 for EA FC 26. The tenth patch will be available to download starting Tuesday, 1 December, across PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
The update brings several gameplay fixes, but unlike what was announced a few days ago, the developers have introduced significant changes to game speed and to certain goalkeeper animations. As for the CPU nerf, evaluations and testing are still ongoing, and we’ll have to wait for the next update.
The patch notes also include a range of fixes for critical issues affecting Ultimate Team mode, Career mode, Clubs mode, as well as various audio and video components.
When it comes to accessing the transfer market via the Web App and Companion App, things get a bit more complicated. We’ve covered all the details in the official guide published on our pages.
We’d also like to remind you that on our website, you can find an article showcasing all the formations and tactics, complete with their codes, used by the strongest Pro Players and the most popular streamers.
We also suggest taking a look at the prediction for the Marquee Matchups, so you can buy in advance the cards you’ll need to complete the SBCs that Electronic Arts will release on Thursday, 4 December.
