EA has officially revealed Title Update 1.4.2 for EA FC 26. The Thirteenth patch is now available to download starting Tuesday, 3 February, across PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
The update introduces gameplay fixes. Among the main adjustments, the effectiveness of goalkeepers when parrying shots has been reduced. In addition, the accuracy of certain shots, which often proved to be excessively imprecise, has been rebalanced.
Fixes and changes have also been applied to the most played modes, such as Ultimate Team, Career Mode and Clubs, in order to resolve issues that were affecting the overall gameplay experience.
