FIFA 23 Developers Finally Nerf Lengthy Players in Latest Update

FIFA 23 was launched this September to a very positive response from fans. And players have been enjoying really overpowered player sessions thanks to FIFA 23’s easily exploitable Out-of-foot mechanic.

This allowed players to easily beat a goalkeeper by taking shots from certain angles. And this became a problem for some players very fast, as a trick like this can make and break any game. To fix this problem, EA Games fixed the accuracy of this shot by 30%. And players with this trait got nerfed by at least 10%.

This is a big change, but not the only one. EA also nerfed taller players as they somehow were unstoppable on current-gen consoles thanks to a console-specific feature known as acceleRATE. This feature gives players a speed boost while sprinting and with this increased speed, taller players become practically unbeatable. So the developers went ahead and nerfed this too.

A number of players who were taking advantage of these “features” are now reporting that they don’t work anymore. Overall, it might be a very good thing that EA went ahead and did something to improve player experience.
