FIFA 8 Title Update Patch Notes # 21
As has been the case in the past with Updates, Title Update # 8 for FIFA 21 is coming to PC first with no release date set for consoles. However, based on the precedents, it probably won't be long before these fixes make their way to console versions of the game as well. You can see the full patch notes below or on the FIFA Forums.
Made the following changes:
- Several adjustments have been made to Team Press's D-Pad Tactic.
- Decreased the amount of time the Team Press D-Pad Tactic can be active, before requiring a cooldown, from 20 seconds to 15 seconds.
- Once Team Press is requested, its effect takes 2 seconds to activate.
- In situations where the defending team uses Team Press and regains possession, Team Press will not automatically remain active on the next loss of possession.
- Several adjustments have been made to the Stepover and Reverse Step Over skill moves.
- The two skill moves are no longer considered easy skill moves and will be less effective when chained together while moving.
- The animations for both skill moves have been slowed down.
- Decreased player transition speed when exiting either skill move at forward angles
Resolved the following issues:
- The goalkeeper sometimes gets stuck on the geometry of the net and is unable to put the ball into play, so the matches do not end on time.
- After a defender has positioned himself in front of the ball carrier following a heavy touch, sometimes the defender has not challenged the ball.
- Improved the logic of referee penalty kicks in situations where the goalkeeper dives at the ball carrier's feet.
- Improved referee logic when making decisions in breakaway tackling situations outside the area.
- When a goalkeeper moved and then stood still during a penalty, he could sometimes deflect the ball into his own net when hit directly at him.
- It does not affect other types of potential deformations that might occur.
- In situations where the ball carrier started a shooting animation, but the shot was canceled in time, the defender could sometimes perform an unintentional blocking animation.
