The first patch for the year for the game addressed issues affecting gameplay, with some key changes to AI Defending and more.
AI Defending
We are making a change that will reduce the reaction times of AI defenders when marking the ball carrier, increasing the chance of them leaving more open space while transitioning between actions. This change can help your attacks feel more free-flowing. We will continue to monitor your feedback on AI Defending and look to make more adjustments if needed
