Gameplay changes

These are the various fixes being done to the gameplay with Title Update 6 in EA FC 24:

• Finesse shot nerf: Players with the Finesse Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ will now perform the shots with slightly reduced accuracy.
• Controlled Sprint nerf: Players will perform the controlled sprint with reduced speed, which could potentially reduce the effectiveness of Technical PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ players.
• Reduced midfield congestion: Strikers and wide midfielders will be less aggressive when marking attackers in the middle of the pitch, providing gamers with more passing options when going forwards.
• Reduced sideline pressure: Significantly reduced the amount of pressure the defensive team can apply to players on the sidelines.
• Decreased Goalkeeper movement and positioning speed: Reduced the speed of goalkeepers when being moved manually. Keepers will also now hold their final position for a short time before moving back to their original position.
• More offensive minded wingbacks: Significantly lowered the track back speed of AI wingbacks in 3 and 5 at the back formations. This will reduce the defensive effectiveness of these formations and provide a more balanced experience.
