The latest EA FC 24 update is here, and it could be able to shift the game's meta in a big way, with Title Update 9 featuring a major nerf to trivela shots.
Days after the RTTF promo launch in Ultimate Team, EA Sports is rolling out Title Update 9, the latest update for EA FC 24, in what is the second big update to be released in the last seven days. And just like EA FC 24 Title Update 8, which fixed chip shots, Title Update 9 is making changes to a shooting mechanic, with trivela shots getting a major nerf.
Trivela shots – shots that are performed with the outside of the foot – are one of the most overpowered ways to score goals in EA FC 24, particularly with players who possess the Trivela PlayStyle or Trivela PlayStyle Plus. But, it seems, not for much longer. In a post on the EA Sports FC Tracker Trello board, the Title Update 9 patch notes detail "Reduced effectiveness of Outside Foot Shots for players with or without the Trivela PlayStyle and PlayStyle+" as well as "Moderately reduced Outside Foot Shot accuracy".
