Electronic Arts hat für die Fußballsimulation FIFA 18 ein weiteres Update für die PC-Version veröffentlicht, welches neben einer Reihe von Bugfixes vor allem Torhüter und Flachpässe verbessert. So wurden die Torhüter aufgewertet, da diese nun nicht mehr den Ball versehentlich ins das eigene Tor parieren können bzw. bei Kopfbällen und Volley-Schüssen zu früh abtauchen. Darüber werden die Reaktionsmöglichkeiten der Spieler deaktiviert, solange der Torhüter den Ball noch in den eigenen Händen hält.

Hier die Patch-Notes im Überblick:
