EA SPORTS has released its first update for FIFA 23 aimed at improving the game without the need to download a big patch.

Called Live Tuning, these changes can be made by simply closing down your game and booting it up again.

FIFA 23 is out now.

When the game is relaunched, you should see a notification that the update has taken place.

Players on Xbox Series consoles might miss out on this, as Quick Resume doesn’t close the game even when the console is shut down.

Among the changes is updated AI for referees, ensuring they make better decisions.

There are also improvements for players rated below 90, which is the majority of them.

Here are all the changes added to FIFA 23:

Penalty Kicks

Penalty Kicks are becoming more difficult, ensuring more skill is needed to make the shot.

Previously, even if a shot was attempted with poor timing, when the Composure Ring was yellow or even red, there was still a good chance to score.

The accuracy of these shots has been reduced, so you will have to ensure the circle is green to make your goals land.

Dribbling

Previously, players rated below 90 in Career Mode, or rated below 90 in the dribbling stat in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) had poor speed when on the ball.

The new changes remove this threshold, and allow players to have a dribbling speed more in line with their stats.

These players are getting an increased speed overall, so an 89-rated dribbler won’t be notably worse than a 90-rated player.

Referees

Referees have had their AI adjusted so that their calls will be more fair on players.

Previously, they were likely to call a foul even for simple arm bumps. The update will reduce the likelihood of this for small collisions.

However, they are now more likely to award yellow cards when a player fouls using a Hard Slide Tackle.

Players were previously able to abuse this to turn the match in their favour without incurring a harsh penalty.
