FIFA 21: official Tiltle Update # 5 patch notes

EA Sports has published the Official Notes from FIFA 21 Title Update # 5. The soccer simulator has seen how the team pressure and the roll towards the ball have been nerfed. Both will have more effect on the resistance of the team, and will also last less time.

The new FIFA 21 patch is now available on PC and it will come later, as usual, to consoles. The patch has many more corrections and changes, we leave you all of them below with the official notes in Spanish.

Gameplay

The following changes have been made:

• The distance a ball can travel after making contact with the defender’s foot or leg during a blocking animation has been increased.
• Reduced the amount of time the “Team Pressure” crosshair / directional button tactic can be active from 30 seconds to 20 seconds before needing a timeout.
• Increased the impact of the “Roll to Ball” crosshead / directional button tactic on in-game stamina.

The following bugs have been fixed:

• When requesting a shot, players sometimes took longer than expected to shoot.
• Fixed some instances of user-controlled players performing an automatic animation while the pass lock assist setting was off.

• When a foul occurred that would result in a yellow card but was not whistled because the referee gave an advantage, the offender could commit another yellow card infraction and the referee showed him a direct red card.
• On rare occasions, a collision between the goalkeeper and an opposing player could cause the goalkeeper to be thrown into the pottery with the ball resulting in a goal.
  • Now these situations will be treated as fouls.
