FIFA 23 update #4 finally goes beyond footwork to pass accuracy and brings some very exciting changes to the FUT Champions interface.

With the start of the World Cup fast approaching, EA has already started changing many things about the Ultimate Team mode, including many new trading cards.

In addition, new cards from the Path to Glory promotion were introduced, along with a number of FUT World Cup Heroes.

After all these additions, the developers didn’t hesitate to make big changes to the game, including a new nerf to the very powerful constant press.

But the next update will bring many other changes, including a huge nerf to #4 Trivela Shot.

Off-foot kicks have finally been nerfed in FIFA 23

Off-foot shots or the Trivela Shot have become very mandatory since the launch of FIFA 23.

When shooting from a certain angle from the edge of the penalty area, shots from the outside of the foot made goalkeepers unreal with ease.

Therefore, EA finally decided to reduce the accuracy of shots from the edge of the foot to 30%. Players with the Outside Foot Shooting trait received a 10% nerf.

But without further ado, discover the full contents of FIFA 23 Update #4.
