FIFA 18 Patch Aims to Make Passing More Realistic


Daniel Pezzola formerly worked as a sales associate at Columbia Sportswear, where his responsibilities included stocking the floor, assisting customers, and working the cash register. Today, Daniel Pezzola works as a delivery driver for the Washingtonville Pharmacy in Washingtonville, New York. In his free time, Daniel Pezzola enjoys playing video games and is particularly fond of the FIFA series of soccer games. 

This year’s entry, FIFA 18, recently received a patch that lessened the effectiveness of passing in the game. Prior to the version 1.04 patch, one-touch passes were unrealistic, resembling a game of pinball more than soccer. The change was made to make the game more closely resemble the real physics of passing a soccer ball.

Another change in the 1.04 patch is the way goalkeepers work. Now, there is a chance of goalkeepers accidentally knocking the ball into their own goal or diving too early for volley shots and downward headers.
