So without further adieu, let\u2019s jump right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Career Mode<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TU #4 contains the first batch of Career Mode changes, based on  player feedback from launch, for FIFA 20, with more planned for future.<br>Here\u2019s one of the key changes we wanted to highlight in this Pitch Notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sometimes opposing AI controlled teams were fielding weaker lineups in inappropriate situations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this change, AI controlled teams will be fielding stronger  lineups in the right situations, resulting in more realistic outcomes in  Career Mode. There should be fewer instances of a big teams fielding  their lower rated players throughout the course of a season. This change  applies to your existing Career Mode save files, there\u2019s no need to  start a new one.<br> <br> With the above in place, we believe it will also impact situations in  which top rated teams were ending up at the bottom of their league  tables, and sometimes getting relegated. We will be monitoring this  issue specifically following the TU to understand if there are any  further issues related to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Skill Moves<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are making a number of changes to some Skill Moves. These changes  have been informed by feedback we\u2019ve received throughout FIFA 20\u2019s  development cycle.<br>There are 2 Skill Move changes we want to highlight in this Pitch Notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Increased the likelihood that error will impact multiple Fake Shots \nchained while sprinting, specifically when they\u2019re chained at a 45 \ndegree angle in either direction.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this change, chaining Fake Shots at 45 degree angles while  sprinting becomes a more risky series of actions. We expect that this  change will require the player to more carefully consider when to  perform these Fake Shots.<br> <br> The other Skill Move change we\u2019re highlighting in this Pitch Notes has to do with the Drag Back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reduced exit speed when performing the Drag Back Skill Move at a 180 degree angle.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After identifying how the Drag Back Skill Move was being used  in-game, we decided to make this change in order to bring more alignment  between this Skill Move and its real world counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Goalkeepers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this TU we\u2019ve continued to update goalkeeper abilities and behaviors, building on the changes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/games\/fifa\/fifa-20\/news\/pitch-notes-title-update2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Title Update 2<\/a>, so let\u2019s take a closer look at one of the changes in TU#4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Increased the likelihood that a goalkeeper will gather the ball after performing a slide into a ball carriers\u2019 feet.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you might rush out your goalkeeper in a 1v1 situation in  the hopes of sliding into the striker\u2019s feet and collecting the ball  before the striker can shoot. With this update, goalkeepers will be more  likely to gather the ball instead of just causing contact, reducing the  likelihood of loose ball situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ultimate Difficulty in FUT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With TU #4, when you are playing against an AI controlled team in FUT  on Ultimate Difficulty, viewing the the Overall Ratings for the AI  controlled players will now display \u2018Ultimate\u2019 in the Pause Menu\u2019s  Player Performance screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"536\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ultimate.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11674\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was previously displaying the base Overall Rating of the player  being viewed, however, it was not considering attribute boosts. This was  a visual issue only, as the players were still playing with the  intended boost from Ultimate Difficulty.<br> While we are on the topic, we wanted to clarify exactly what happens when you are playing on Ultimate Difficulty in FUT.<br> When playing on Ultimate Difficulty in FUT, the players on the AI  controlled team have their FUT Attribute categories boosted to 99. This  means that outfield players get PAC, SHO, PAS, DRI, DEF, and PHY boosted  to 99. Goalkeeper Attribute categories (DIV, HAN, KIC, REF, SPE, POS)  are also increased to 99.<br> Note that this boost doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that individual attributes  all become 99 for AI controlled players. The boosts to the individual  attributes are done in the same manner as is done for In-Form items in  FUT.<br> This Attribute category boost is the only difference between Ultimate  and Legendary Difficulties in FUT. Player and Team Chemistry still  applies to both like it would to a human player\u2019s squad, further  boosting or reducing the player\u2019s individual attributes as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jumping Attribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this TU, we addressed an issue causing players to sometimes jump  higher than their Jumping Attribute should allow. With this change,  players will not jump higher than intended.<br> Please note that the change strictly impacts Jumping, and not other  factors or Attributes that are involved in a heading situation. All this  change does is help ensure that players are not jumping higher than  they should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Specialties and Goalkeeper Save Techniques<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In TU #4, we have removed the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Save Techniques on the Player Bio screen in FUT.<\/li><li>Specialties from the Player Bio tab in the Select Arena Player screen.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save Techniques and Specialties have never been present in FIFA 20,  and we had missed removing some references to them in the UI. This means  that all goalkeepers have the same Save Technique, and that players are  no longer being assigned Specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Skill Games<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve added text descriptions for each Skill Game, which are  displayed while playing them. This should help make it easier to  understand what is needed to do in each Skill Game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/my-great-capture-screenshot-2019-10-16-09-12-59-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11675\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIFA 20<\/strong> is available from September 27, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC,  Nintendo Switch.
