Op deze update in FIFA 18 zat iedereen te wachten

In een nieuwe update voor de populaire voetbalgame wordt het geven van een goede steekbal een stuk moelijker, om op die manier aanvallen uitdagender te maken. Nu is het een lastige klus om ballen te onderscheppen, en daar werd veel over geklaagd.

De snelheid en zuiverheid van blinde passes is naar beneden bijgesteld, zo schrijft EA Sports. Ook de falende doelmannen worden aangepakt: denk bijvoorbeeld aan goalies die de bal in eigen doel stompen of veel te vroeg duiken.

De complete update-lijst vind je hieronder (in het Engels).

Made the following changes in Gameplay:

• Made ground passes and ground through passes less effective when blindly passing the ball between 90 and 270 degrees, where 0 degrees is the direction the player is facing.

• The impact scales when the pass angle is between 90 (least impact) and 139 degrees and between 221 and 270 (least impact) degrees.
