Key Gameplay Enhancements
One of the standout improvements in Title Update #8 is the acceleration of ground passes. Players have noted that passes now reach their targets more swiftly, facilitating a more dynamic and fluid offensive playstyle. This change has been particularly beneficial when directing passes to open players, reducing the chances of interceptions and maintaining the momentum of attacks.
Defensive gameplay has also seen notable adjustments. Previously, there was widespread frustration over defenders’ uncanny ability to catch up with fast ball carriers, which often disrupted promising offensive plays. The latest update addresses this by refining defender behavior, ensuring that pacey attackers can better utilize their speed to outmaneuver opponents.
Additionally, the quality of AI teammates’ attacking runs has been enhanced. Players have observed that AI-controlled teammates now make more intelligent and timely runs, creating better opportunities and adding depth to offensive strategies.
