Although EA Sports FC 24 debuted as a clear success, the development team behind the game’s creative studio continues to address a few bugs. A patch, packed with fixes, is rolling out across all platforms to refine the experience. This update targets the Ultimate Team mode, improving its playability and ensuring smoother progression with the latest software version. In Career mode, players have repeatedly requested a fix for a bug that caused a player to lose the ball without any action from opponents.
Improve quality of life and fix bugs
The next update to the current build of Sports FC 24 marks the third major patch since launch. The EA teams aim to elevate overall stability and deliver a high-quality experience so players can enjoy the game with consistent performance. The following sections detail the primary fixes included in the EA Sports FC 24 update:
Ultimate Team
The mode that has drawn significant attention receives several stability and gameplay improvements. Issues where players disappeared after substitutions or red cards are addressed, and the post-match Next menu should now respond reliably after a complete match. The Ada Hegerberg player object has been corrected, and new items are expected to appear in upcoming matches following server updates. Pauses during back-to-back team actions after viewing highlights are now functioning as intended.

Stability improvements have been applied to the transfer market interactions. The Squad Builder now places player items in correct locations consistently. The pre-match screen for team battles previously displayed a six-minute-per-half duration by error; that was a visual issue and has been corrected. Timers for Weekly Rival Rewards and End of Season were reversed visually and are now aligned. In rare cases, classic UT friendlies could start with an unusual number of players on the field, which has been addressed. Scroll behavior on transfer list pages has been improved so users don’t have to re-enter the list to move through items.
(PS5/XBSX|S/PC only) A double drop scene could trigger two songs playing at once. Stability has been enhanced for classic two-on-one co-op modes. (PC Only) The Store accessibility issue at certain resolutions has been fixed. (Transition only) A stability issue during the Play with a Friend mode has been resolved.
Career mode
Additional improvements address player trajectory and negotiations so new signings don’t show wrong values. The bug that reset special tactics to a default setting has been fixed. Coach career and scout bonuses now apply consistently to all objectives when firing a coach. The camera now follows the player correctly in the Set Piece Training Exercise within Player Career.
Sports FC 24 includes several gameplay fixes such as goalkeepers cutting their runs too aggressively or unintended errors during passing or receiving. Ball speed in ground-level and hard passes has been adjusted, and players with Long Throw and Long Throw+ playstyles will see more opportunities to restart play in advanced areas. Precision shots now account for slight directional changes before impact. Visual enhancements have been added to the ball carrier when a red card foul occurs during a breakout.
Occasionally, goalkeepers could rush out of position. Autoshift behavior in airball scenarios has been aligned with control settings. Some players may no longer see a drop in form after playable matches. Finally, goalkeepers now celebrate significant saves with greater enthusiasm when appropriate.

As widely noted, EA Sports FC 24 is the first title to move away from the official FIFA license in its sports formula. The shift has been well received by a North American publisher and audience, and the game has attracted more than 11 million players within the first week of release. While the main patch fixes many issues, ongoing updates are essential to continue raising quality and ensuring a smooth experience for players around the world.
