EA Sports has today rolled out Title Update 5 for FIFA 23, which features a host of gameplay changes.
The FIFA 23 Title Update 5 is available to download now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X /S and PC. EA Sports FIFA titles receive regular title updates in order to fix any issues or glitches in-game, and a lot of updates have been made this time round, predominantly to gameplay.
EA Sports has decreased the accuracy of Driven Lobbed Through Passes aimed away from where the passer is facing, and also lowered the ball trajectory of the same type of pass, nerfing how overpowered some through balls can be in FIFA 23. They've made an update to dribbling which will see players make fewer errors when carrying the ball forward, and they've also attempted to improve goalkeepers when receiving passes and fixed a glitch that allowed 'keeper's to illegally pick up back passes in-game.
As well as Gameplay, there are also updates to Ultimate Team, the FIFA 2022 World Cup Mode, Career Mode, Pro Clubs, Volta and General, Audio and Visual in Title Update 5. The FIFA 23 Title Update 5 was announced by EA Sports on Tuesday, November 29, 2022.
Here's the fifth Title Update of FIFA 23 in full.
