Developers have fixed some issues.

Some changes:
- Improvements to AI attackers, for example, the frequency of jerks into the penalty area for wingers (extreme flank attacker) has been increased;
- Improved understanding of offside among teammates.
- Fixed cases where players did not run into open space when it could be useful.
- Improved player positioning when playing with a shallow depth of defense so they don't have to move too high up the field
- False fullbacks (extreme defenders) now "more intelligently move into defense to better support the defensive formation"
- The goalkeeper's jump indicator now shows where the shot was taken from.
- Fixed cases where ground passes unexpectedly left the ball behind the intended receiver.
- Troubleshooting login issues with Ultimate Team
- (PC) Changing display settings in borderless mode should no longer result in performance loss
