EA Sports<\/strong> has released the first Pitch Notes<\/strong> relating to the first Patch for FIFA 22<\/strong> already released for PC <\/strong>and coming soon to PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about FIFA 22\u2019s first Title Update (TU #1)<\/strong><\/a>. This article will highlight a couple of the changes we\u2019ve introduced in TU #1, as well as provide a look at our intent to add an additional layer of polish to FIFA 22 with this TU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s jump right in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goalkeepers And Top Corner Shots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TU #1 introduces the following change to goalkeepers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReduced the effectiveness of goalkeepers when diving for top corner shots taken from inside of the penalty box.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    – This change specifically applies to shots taken within 37 feet\/11.27 meters of the goalkeeper.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, one of the best feelings in football is seeing that perfectly placed top corner shot beat a keeper who\u2019s desperately doing everything they can to get at least a fingertip to the ball. The net bulges. The crowd roars. It\u2019s just a great feeling, you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this goalkeeper change, our intent is to ensure that these kinds of feelings and moments can be replicated in FIFA 22 at a healthy frequency. We\u2019ve seen that goalkeepers can sometimes be a little too adept at saving top corner shots from in close, so we\u2019ve reduced their effectiveness trying to save them in order to promote more diversity in goalscoring. As covered in the Title Update notes, this will apply to shots within 37 feet\/11.27 meters of the keeper, taken from inside of the penalty box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how goalkeepers could have reacted before TU #1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
