EA Sports has released a new patch for FIFA 18. According to the release notes, this new patch addresses a number of gameplay, online & FIFA Ultimate Team issues. In addition, it brings some changes to the FIFA Ultimate Team.

Going into a bit more details, this patch fixes a bug via which the player sometimes controlled the wrong player in a Skill Game. Moreover, it updates the default FIFA Trainer settings for the Intro Match. As such, the Intro Match now shows both Movement and Mechanics instead of just Movement.

This patch also adds the ability to watch FUT Champions Channel replays in a slower playback speed. Furthermore, it removes the Single Player Camera from the list of available camera angles in FUT Champions Channel, as well as he non-functional Restart button in the FUT Champions Channel Pause Menu.

Origin will download this patch the next time you launch its client, and you can find its complete changelog below.
