FIFA 22 Title Update 14

EA have released details of the next major FIFA 22 patch. Check out the key takeaways and full FIFA 22 update 14 patch notes below.

FIFA 23 may be just months away, but there’s still plenty of life in this year’s game. With Summer Swaps in full swing and FUTTIES set to begin very soon, there’s more reason to head back into FIFA 22 Ultimate Team than ever.

On top of the constant cycle of fresh promos, EA is keeping FIFA 22 in a good spot by releasing regular title updates to make sure the on-the-pitch action is as slick as off-the-pitch.

Patch notes for FIFA 22 Title Update 14 are now live, and we’ve got all the details for you right here.

FIFA 22 Title Update 14 release date

Although the patch notes are available, there is no word on when Title Update 14 will be ready for FIFA 22 players to download.

There shouldn’t be too long to wait though, as EA have said that the update will “soon be available” on PC.

FIFA updates tend to drop on PC platforms first, so Xbox and PlayStation players can expect to receive FIFA 22 Title Update 14 a couple of weeks after the launch on Steam and Origin.

FIFA 22 Title Update 14 Low Drive Shots buff

FIFA 22 player shooting

Low Driven Shots were an essential tool in a striker’s arsenal in previous years, but they haven’t had the same impact in FIFA 22. That is going to be rectified in Title Update 14 as the devs look to make them more viable.

Players can expect low to mid-power shots of this type to be 17.5% more accurate, meaning you won’t have to smash the ball with as much force to make sure Low Driven Shots are worth trying.

The devs said: “Our intent here is to provide players with an additional goalscoring option in 1v1 and other scenarios.”

FIFA 22 Title Update 14 new skill move

Those who enjoy playing with a bit of flair have a new skill move to terrorize defenders with in the form of the Ball Roll Cut 180. It essentially allows players with four or five-star skills to create space by quickly turning 180 degrees and fooling defenders.

To perform it, simply hold L1/LB and flick the right stick in the opposite direction to the way the dribbler is facing.
