EA has officially revealed Title Update 1.5.0 for EA FC 26. The Fifteenth patch will be available to download starting Thursday, 5 March, across PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
This Title Update brings a whole wave of changes to PlayStyles, boosting some, toning others down, and it’s clearly aimed at making player stats matter a lot more on the pitch.
Other fixes or changes have been implemented in the most-played modes, such as Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and Clubs. The currently known issues that are affecting and, at times, disrupting the overall gameplay experience in these modes remain unresolved.
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 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, 5 March.
In addition, the FUT Birthday Team 1 has already been leaked, with the full list of players available at the following link.

Gameplay
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been closely following conversations across Discord polls, feedback posts, and social channels.
We appreciate the time and detail the community has shared around Passing and Shooting PlayStyles. As a result, this update focuses on reducing the overall impact of certain PlayStyles and shifting more influence towards players’ core attributes.
The following changes have been made that affect PlayStyles, Passing, And Shooting:
Passing
- Improved accuracy and speed of ground passing, with impact being most noticeable on players with higher passing attributes.
- Added the ability for players without the Incisive Pass PlayStyle but with high attributes in Short Pass, Long Pass, and Curve to contextually curve through balls.
- Reduced the accuracy of lofted passes.
- By lofted passes, we are referring to double tapping the ground pass or through pass button
Power Shot
- Improved the trajectory of Power Shots to increase the potential of scoring from longer ranges.
- Increased Power Shot accuracy when taken with the Power Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+
Chip Shot
- Tuned Chip Shots to be less likely to go wide.
- Increased accuracy of Chip Shots.
- Players with the Chip Shot PlayStyle perform Chip Shots with additional accuracy.
Tiki Taka PlayStyle
- To avoid overly accurate passing and decrease some of the gap between passing with and without PlayStyles, the accuracy of ground and first-time passes with the Tiki Taka PlayStyle has been reduced.
- Ground passes performed with Tiki Taka PlayStyle still benefit from the overall improvements in accuracy and speed listed above, ensuring the PlayStyle remains a useful attacking option.
Inventive PlayStyle
- The accuracy of lofted ground and through passes using the Inventive PlayStyle and Inventive PlayStyle+ has been slightly increased.
- This is to slightly compensate for the accuracy reduction to lofted passes mentioned in the passing section. With the PlayStyle+, lofted passes will still be slightly less accurate than before the patch
- By lofted passes, we are referring to double tapping the ground pass or through pass button
Additional Gameplay Updates
We’ve also made two updates to address certain areas of gameplay brought to our attention by the community.
- Skill Moves
- Increased the speed of Fake Shot, Heel Chop, and Feint and Exit by 5%
Positioning
- Addressed an issue where attacking players could remain stationary after repositioning

- Introduced Dynamic Development Plans to Career to more closely reflect a player’s role.
- When starting a new save, Training Plans will be automatically pre-selected based on the player’s closest available role.

- Added a new visual Pitch Wear setting when starting a new save, and it is off by default.
- Improved player contract extension behaviour when using the Normal setting.
- Players with less than a year on their contract will already be open to negotiation when you join a new club.
- At the start of a new season, around 50% of players with expiring contracts will be open to negotiation.
- If you start a Live Starting Point or switch to a new job mid-season, more players will be open to negotiation as you get closer to the end of the season.
