Our intent with this TU is to address some of the feedback we\u2019ve received since launching FIFA 21, let\u2019s jump right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI Teammate Block Reach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After closely monitoring and investigating community feedback around blocking, we\u2019ve made the following change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reduced the distance that AI teammates can reach when attempting to block the ball.<ul><li>This change applies only in situations where the ball carrier takes a shot.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This change is intended to reduce AI teammate blocks from influencing matches more often \\than desired. It\u2019s complementary to the ball trajectory following a block change made in the previous TU, and the combination of both changes is intended to make AI blocks more true-to-life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that this change does not affect CPU controlled players on the opposing team when playing single player matches in game areas such as Career Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s some examples of how far an AI teammate could reach with a block before TU 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 21 AI Teammate Blocks Before TU#6\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/STkPjFoRq4s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now here\u2019s what the exact same blocking situations can look like after TU #6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 21 AI Teammate Blocks After TU#6\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gYDMhKorviM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note how the Ai teammate\u2019s leg is not reaching the same distance as before. With this change, AI teammates will not attempt to make as many inauthentic blocks when the ball is passing by them, following a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll continue to monitor community feedback regarding blocking in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interception Logic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to improve the effectiveness of some interceptions, TU #6 introduces the following change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Improved interception logic in situations where the defending player is directly in the ball\u2019s path.<ul><li>This change applies only in situations where the ball carrier is passing the ball.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our investigations of community feedback around interceptions, we have seen that passes could bypass a defender too easily in some situations. The change we\u2019ve made here is meant to help user controlled players and AI teammates intercept the ball in clear cut interception scenarios, during which the defender is clearly standing in the expected path of the pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This change does not alter how players position themselves or how they think about interceptions in general, it specifically affects the aforementioned scenario. We\u2019ll continue to review and investigate community feedback regarding interceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how interceptions could have looked like before TU 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 21 Interceptions Before TU#6\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-4KNyFlFXqU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With TU 6, here are the exact same interception scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 21 Interceptions After TU#6\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DolZLQDe7Wc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note how the player is able to intercept and take control of the ball since they were clearly positioned in its path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stepover Transition Speed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to improve the authenticity of stepovers, the following change has been made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Decreased player transition speed into a stepover after the Skill Move was successfully requested.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we refer to transition speed here, we\u2019re talking about the ball carrier\u2019s movement speed when they transition into a stepover animation. With this change, our aim is to ensure that players don\u2019t move with the ball using unnecessary and inauthentic speed when performing stepovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, the transition speed here is half of what it previously was. With this change, we want to promote stepovers being used in a more similar fashion to their real-world counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll continue to monitor community feedback around Skill Moves in general. Please note that an incorrect description of this change was initially published in the original Title Update notes and that it has since been updated to the one you see in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIFA 21<\/strong> is expected in September, 2020 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and presumably in <strong>December <\/strong>for the Next Gen <strong>PlayStation 5<\/strong> and <strong>Xbox Series X<\/strong> platforms Keep on following us also  through our social <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/futukofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ultimateteam_uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> for other news and information.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EA Sports, through the official website, has released a Pitch Notes to explain in detail what has been changed in the gameplay of FIFA 21 with the release of the Corrective Patch 1.09.
