The latest update for EA FC 26 v1.4.3 is rolling out across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC
While this isn’t a massive overhaul like the previous February refresh, it addresses a specific frustration for attackers who specialize in the “curve” game.
EA FC 26 Update v1.4.3
Gameplay: Bringing Back the Finesse
The main focus of update v1.4.3 on addressing an issue where shots taken with the Finesse Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ were sometimes unexpectedly slow.
Recently, players noticed that curved shots from specialists were occasionally coming off the boot with unexpectedly low velocity—lacking the “zip” needed to beat elite goalkeepers.
EA has officially addressed this issue, ensuring that if you have a player with the Finesse Shot trait, their curling efforts will once again have the appropriate power and trajectory.
EA SPORTS developer team asks players to share direct feedback through their official feedback channels.
If you want to report lingering finesse issues or other problems, use the EA feedback link and include precise repro steps (platform, camera, controller type, specific PlayStyle used).
The community channels pick up recurring issues faster when reports are detailed. Link: https://go.ea.com/fc26pfp
Ultimate Team: The “Knockout Royalty” Heroes
While the patch handles the mechanics, the content team is delivering the star power for Ultimate Team.
Tomorrow, four legendary Heroes are joining the roster under the “Knockout Royalty” banner—celebrating players who were at their most dangerous during high-stakes tournament football.
1. Gilberto Silva
Gilberto Silva (CDM – 89 OVR): The “Invisible Wall” arrives to anchor your midfield. With an 89 rating, expect elite interceptions and physical presence from the Arsenal and Brazil legend.
2. Roy Makaay
Roy Makaay (ST – 89 OVR): “The Phantom” was known for scoring before defenders even realized he was in the box. His 89-rated card will be a nightmare for backlines looking for a clinical, traditional finisher.
3. Oliver Bierhoff
Oliver Bierhoff (ST – 88 OVR): The ultimate aerial threat. Bierhoff’s 88-rated Hero card will likely dominate the air, reflecting his historic ability to win matches with his head.
4. Uli Hoeneß
Uli Hoeneß (RM – 88 OVR): Bringing versatility and German efficiency to the right flank, Hoeneß arrives with an 88 rating, offering a perfect blend of crossing and tactical positioning.
