EA FC 24 Title Update #9 patch notes

Among the biggest changes coming to EA FC 24 through Title Update #9 is a nerf to the Trivela shot. The devs have reduced the accuracy of the shot along with the maximum top spin it can achieve. Using the Trivela will also be less effective for players who do not have Trivela PlayStyle or PlayStyle+.

Besides this, cutback scenarios will now see better decisions and positioning from the AI of defending players. This should make cutbacks inside the box less effective.
