Gameplay Changes

The New Low Driven Shot PlayStyle & PlayStyle+

Based on your feedback, we’re introducing the highly requested Low Driven Shot PlayStyle in this update. This new PlayStyle allows you to execute more precise shots with a quick press of the shooting button—perfect for those low-driven shots. Here’s what it brings:

- Significantly increased shot accuracy.

- Moderately faster ball travel speed.

- Quicker shot execution.

Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+ enhances these effects even further, making it even more effective. Here's a glimpse of the difference:

- Without PlayStyle: Standard shot execution.

The Low Driven Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ will be available across Football Ultimate Team, Career Mode (Youth Academy and Player Career), and Clubs.

Precision Lob Pass & Clearance Header Updates

While TU #10 doesn’t drastically alter gameplay, we’ve fine-tuned a couple of aspects based on your feedback:

- Precision Lob Passes: We’ve reduced the accuracy of fully powered Precision Lob Passes slightly, bringing them closer to real-world behavior and encouraging more authentic passing choices.

- Clearance Headers: We’ve significantly increased the accuracy of clearance headers, allowing for more reliable ball clearance during tense situations.

Football Ultimate Team

The Roma Trio Returns!

One of the most iconic trios in FUT history is making a grand comeback. Seydou Doumbia, Victor Ibarbo, and Gervinho are back in action, bringing their explosive pace and dazzling dribbling to the pitch. Starting Friday, March 14, as part of FUT Birthday Week 2, their Streets Won’t Forget versions will be available through Objectives and Evolutions in FUT. These fan-favorite versions will also be included in the FUT pack pool, while their base versions won’t be available.

Additionally, the legendary Franz Beckenbauer will make his debut as an ICON in Football Ultimate Team. Known for his illustrious career and unmatched success, Beckenbauer will join the FUT pool starting Friday, March 21, as part of the UEFA Dreamchasers campaign.

Super Sub Player Items

Get ready for Super Sub Player Items in FUT! These unique Player Items will receive full Chemistry when substituted into matches after halftime. This new feature brings fresh strategic options to your gameplay, allowing you to make the most of your substitutes.

New Live Football Ultimate Team Friendly - Targets

A brand-new Live FUT Friendly, Targets, is coming soon. In this mode, targets will appear at each corner of the net. Hit these targets to score 2 goals and destroy the target. You can aim for up to 4 additional goals by hitting all targets during the match. This mode offers a fun, strategic twist, and we highly encourage you to try the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle for those precise corner shots.

Clubs

Level Cap Increase & New PlayStyle

We’re expanding Clubs progression with an additional 20 levels, giving you the chance to earn 24 extra Skill Points. At Level 110, players will unlock the Low Driven Shot+ PlayStyle for their Avatars. The regular Low Driven Shot PlayStyle will remain available without any level restrictions.

New Facilities

Two new facilities are being introduced: the Low Driven Drill and the Strength Drill. The Low Driven Drill helps players master the new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, while the Strength Drill focuses on Strength and Stand Tackle attributes.

Career Mode

UI Improvements & ICONs

We’ve made several improvements to the Career Mode UI based on your feedback. You’ll notice the Central Tab now includes upcoming fixtures and standings, making it easier to navigate. Youth Academy Players can now develop the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle in Manager Career, and it will also be available in Player Career.

New Teams

We’re excited to add the Canadian Women’s National Team to Kick Off, Online Friendlies, and Online Seasons, alongside the return of the Classic XI. Now you can play with football legends like Pele, Maradona, and Johan Cruyff, or the stars of the Canadian Women’s National Team like Jessie Fleming and Kadeisha Buchanan.

Visual & Audio Updates

Fresh Visuals & New SuperFans

The Legends Return Update brings a whole new visual experience, with 69 updated star heads and fresh set piece animations inspired by real-world players. You’ll also notice a vintage theme in the main menu, paying tribute to football’s greats like Beckenbauer, Pele, and Maradona.
