Fifa 20 is here to settle a brand new gameplay experience for every single player. FUT lovers won’t feel departed, too, simply because they’ll receive their fair share of changes. The patch related changes are based both on community feedback and developer’s knowledge, so it firms a healthy balance between both.
There’s no need to be scared from receiving a yellow card for a non-sense foul, as the Fifa 20 UPDATE 8 tends to reduce the sensitivity of yellow cards given. Minor fouls caused by ordinary tackles won’t be a significant issue any longer. Therefore, the foul aggression threshold is different, so probably the gameplay itself.
Furthermore, this update tinkers a lot of known issues in the standard but also FUT game mode. Free kicks, Consumables, match schedules in Career mode, and more changes to satisfy player’s demands. The update is available on Xbox, PS4 and PC.
Gameplay (General):
Made the following changes:
- Adjusted the threshold for when the Referee will give out a Yellow Card following a foul.
- This change is intended to reduce the amount of Yellow Cards given for minor fouls.
- Adjusted the Penalty Kick Reticule to be less sensitive when aiming at most areas of the goal.
- This change does not affect sensitivity when aiming very close to the goalpost.
- Aiming towards the goalpost has a higher degree of sensitivity compared to other areas of the goal.
