Gameplay changes

The biggest gameplay change in the EA FC 25 Legends Return Update is the addition of the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle. It increases accuracy and shot speed. The patch will also nerf the accuracy of fully powered Precision Lob Passes, while improving the accuracy of clearance headers.

The developers have also addressed the following gameplay issues in EA FC 25 Legends Return Update:

• In some specific situations, AI defenders did not press the ball carrier as intended.
• Sometimes, incorrect goalkeeper save animation could have occurred when trying to save tight angle near post shots.

Ultimate Team changes

Ultimate Team is by far the most popular game mode in the EA Sports FC franchise. The upcoming patch has made some exciting changes to this mode, including the addition of Super Subs. These player items will receive a full chemistry boost when being brought off the bench in the second half if they are played in their preferred positions.

The patch will also introduce a new Live Ultimate Team Friendly Mode called Targets. It will feature targets at each corner of the goal. By hitting these over the course of the match, fans can score double the goals.

The latter will receive UI improvements and improvements to the Player Career Icon roster.

There will also be several new visual updates, including new star-heads, celebrations, set piece animations and a vintage theme for the Main Menu.
