EA Sports has released another FIFA 23 title update today, focusing heavily on anti-cheat issues, bug fixes, and more. Title Update 7 is currently only available on PC, but the same update will be deployed for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One in the coming days.
FIFA players often express their love for the 'Team Of The Year', mainly due to the memorable experiences it provides, but frustration arises when numerous bugs are included in the promo. Since the beginning of the cycle, fans have struggled to play the maximum potential, especially following the introduction of cross-play. The recently implemented anti-cheat system has also suffered numerous performance issues since its launch, but EA are now attempting to address both of these issues in title update seven.
Other issues currently present in FIFA 23 include the recent bugged packs, which rewarded gamers with World Cup players weeks after the promo had ended and another glitch awarding the wrong version of TOTY Courtois. These mishaps have left fans frustrated across EA Sports community platforms prompting the developer to issue apologies and release a list of changes coming soon in FIFA 23.
In addition to the fixes, FIFA 23 players have been struggling to make corner kicks count since EA Sports made it harder to do so. However, the developer has announced that the upcoming title update will guide taller players in strategic positions for easy scoring from corner kicks. According to EA, Title Update #7 will also improve referees' offside decisions, as players were regularly flagged for offside whenever they ran across the touchline.
FIFA 23's latest title update is now available to download on PC, with the console version arriving in the coming days. The full patch notes can be viewed below for further details:
