EA has officially revealed Title Update 1.0.2 for EA FC 26. The first patch will be available to download starting Thursday, 25 September, across PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
The update brings several gameplay tweaks, with one of the most notable being a nerf to the Low Driven. Centre-backs will now be less likely to drift too wide when marking opposing attackers. On top of that, False backs will now carry out their defensive duties more effectively, helping to keep the back line tighter and more compact.
If you’re a fan of Ultimate Team, we recommend checking out our dedicated guide on how to unlock the Transfer Market in both the Web App and the Companion App, which went live on 17 September.
And don’t forget, on our site, you’ll also find a full breakdown of all the formations and tactics used by the most popular Pro Players and Streamers, complete with their official codes.
This TU includes:
- Tuning changes to Low Driven Shots.
- Improvements to AI attacking support and positioning.
- Addressing instances of Manager Career players leaving the team when simming.
- Borderless display setting and controller responsiveness improvements.
- Various stability improvements.
- And much more.
