EA released Title Update 1.4.3 for EA Sports FC 26 on February 12, 2026, with a narrow but important fix to shot timing. The update is a small download and is available on current and last-gen platforms. The main change in 1.4.3 resolves an issue where shots taken with the Finesse Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ could register as slower than intended. Players who experienced delayed finesse finishing should see the timing restored to expected behavior after installing the patch.
