The head honchos at EA Sports work tirelessly to try and make adjustments to FIFA to improve the game for the benefit of the players and they have now released a new update for the game.
The seventh title update for this year’s game sees a number of changes to the FUT Champions mode, which seems to have gone down well with FIFA enthusiasts as many have been crying out for adjustments for quite some time here.
Here is the message that FIFA players were greeted to, with details of the patch notes:
And he second page of improvements informed gamers that EA have abolished the arrow feature on penalties on FUT Champions matches.
FIFA 17 saw a change in the way penalties would have to be taken, as getting the movement and direction spot on from the arrow is absolutely crucial to finding the back of the net.
It’s certainly divided opinion and now EA have acted by disabling the penalty kick dictator from any FUT Champions game that you play.
At present, the arrow will still be available to use in other game modes – with the shared view being that it is best off limiting the arrow to offline modes.
FIFA players were quick to offer their thoughts on the change on the FIFA subreddit, with one writing: “Oh sh*t no more arrow that is not good, makes it 10x more difficult.”
Another wrote: “Finally! Been my biggest bug bear one person would have the arrow whilst the other wouldn’t. I’m happy to take penalties without the arrow, but I always wanted an equal system. Now it is. Hopefully. Overall seems a good patch!”.
Those who were informed of the changes to the guy are PC players, though this is typically FIFA’s go-to platform for testing before they put things in place on the more popular consoles.
What are your thoughts on the arrow being scrapped for FUT Champions games? Do you think it is bound to be completely removed for online games in FIFA 18?
