The Trivela shot is the focus of FIFA 23’s update 4 with EA finally addressing the troublesome exploit, and you can check out the full extent of update 4’s patch notes below.

It’s a crazy time for FIFA 23 players at the moment as EA has sent the community into content overload thanks to the addition of the World Cup.

From World Cup swaps to World Cup cards to even a ridiculous Robbie Keane World Cup Hero card, there is so much to keep an eye on at the moment.

In the midst of all these fresh features, there are still lingering problems with the core of FIFA 23’s gameplay – with the Trivela shot a big proponent of this. EA has sought to address some of the game’s issues with update 4, and the full patch notes detail everything.

FIFA 23 update 4 Trivela shot nerfed

From Trivela crosses to the dreaded Trviela shot, this simple outside-of-the-foot kick has been the root cause of so many issues in FIFA 23 and has left players utterly frustrated with the mechanic.

EA has decided that enough is enough and has tinkered with the Trivela kick by implementing a “Reduced accuracy of outside of the foot shots by up to 30%.”

Not only that, but even players with the Outside The Foot trait will also see a decrease in its effectiveness.

The exploit has seemingly taken little skill to pull off as players with poor shooting stats have regularly been able to bang them in from 25-30 yards out using this technique. This should put a stop to that or at least clamp down on the number of goals being scored in this manner.

FIFA 23 update 4 FUT Champions change

A minor visual update is arriving in FIFA 23’s FUT Champions game mode as EA has added a brand new Win – Loss tracker.

The current way players keep on top of their progress in both FUT Champions play-offs and the main Weekend League itself is purely off the points system. This new statistic should make things a bit easier on the eye and keep you informed of how many wins you need to achieve.

Title Update #4 will soon be available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions of FIFA 23.
