The effectiveness of this improvement will scale based on the average rating with the least improvement being felt at 80 and the most improvement at 99.

This will not have an impact on players that do not have an average rating of 80 or higher between the Attributes of Dribbling, Agility and Balance.

- In a penalty kick situation we have Increased the range that a goalkeeper will react to the ball, and attempt to make a save, when they are standing still in the middle of the net.

This will result in goalkeepers being more likely to react and make saves to shots that are placed close to where they are standing when they are standing in the middle of the net.

- Reduced the effectiveness of Contain and Secondary Contain, by making the following changes:

Players that are being controlled by Contain or Secondary Contain will no longer sprint to catch up to the player they are trying to defend.

Players that are being controlled by Contain will now take longer to react to the ball carrier’s movements.

When Multi-Swap is active, players will be able to cycle through the positions in their squad,

including the subs and reserves, enabling the ability to swap Player Items in all positions without leaving the Club tab.

The mini-map on the screen shows which position you are currently selecting, and now also includes subs and reserves.

When highlighting a specific position in the squad, there is an option to refresh the search results to update based on the currently selected position.

When changing to the Club tab, without having specifically selected a position on your squad first, it will no longer assume that you want to swap players for a specific position.

When you select a Player Item on the Club tab, it will not automatically send that player to your squad, instead you will need to manually change back to the Squad tab.

Once you have done this, you will be able to specifically select a position on your squad that you want to place or swap that Player Item into.

Aiming towards the goalpost has a higher degree of sensitivity compared to other areas of the goal.
