EA has released a new update for the Switch port of FIFA 18 that will hopefully improve things. Title Update 3 introduces some gameplay changes and some aesthetic tweaks, as well as fixing a number of bugs. First, changes have been made so that you’ll no longer keep getting the same Skill Games before each match. The Trainer has also been fixed, so it will now display the correct button prompt when performing crosses.
Off the pitch, the Chile national team has a new crest and updated kits to bring them in line with those of the real-life team. In addition, the patch addresses an issue where the ball would sometimes be invisible during pre-match cinematics. Take a look at the full patch notes at the bottom of this article, via EA.
FIFA 18’s console versions were also updated recently to add the much-requested Co-op feature back into FUT Seasons after it was removed for this year’s game. The ability to play local co-op against an online opponent was present in FIFA 17 but was removed from FIFA 18 “to create competitive balance for all players.” However, the publisher has reversed its decision and you can now play with a friend once more.
