EA has officially revealed Title Update 1.0.3 for EA FC 26. The first patch will be available to download starting Friday, 3 October, across PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
The update introduces important gameplay fixes, with one of the most important being the correction of the Kick Off Glitch. At kick-off, the team without possession now lines up in a more compact shape for a short period of time, improving the defensive phase during this stage of play.
