A new FIFA 18 update is released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It makes some changes to Ultimate Team, or even how goalkeepers behave in matches and how referees perceive aerial challenges, among other tweaks.

EA says the newest patch fixes a concern where referees would sometimes incorrectly award a problem when a defender wins a header but additionally collides through an attacking player. Other gameplay changes include lowering the time it requires a goalkeeper to Buy FIFA 19 Coins and recuperate from a save and acquire back up to retrieve a loose ball following a rebound. It also fixes a challenge where 'keepers may not respond to backpasses.

In Ultimate Team, now there is a limit on what long you'll have the PlayStation Dynamic Menu or Xbox Home Menu open while playing FUT Champions; a timer will show up informing you that you will forfeit the sport if you don't resume before it expires. Other changes include some audio tweaks and bug fixes--take some of the full patch notes in the bottom of this article.

FIFA 18 was received well upon its release, but EA says it might not bring out a brand new football title annually in future. Instead, perhaps it will turn to a subscription-based model. In our FIFA 18 review, we awarded the overall game a 7/10.

"It's away from the pitch that EA excels," we said. "From all of the game modes available and how everything's presented, to your constant updates in FUT's Team with the Week, Daily Objectives, and discussion of real-world happenings in FIFA 19 Coins , FIFA 18 captures the industry of football and confidently translates it in to a video game. On the pitch, however, EA's soccer series continues to be lagging far behind PES 2018's more fluid, satisfying football. This year's improvements are welcome, but more should be done in the future if FIFA is usually to be a world-beater just as before."

This year's edition had also been released on Switch, playing with our FIFA 18 Nintendo Switch review we said the port is "inferior" in practically every way when compared to your PS4 and Xbox One versions.
