Leaked EA FC 26 update 1.0.4 early patch notes

Here are all the updated details which were shared by FUTWIZ on X:

Bruiser+ PlayStyle Buff

Bruiser+ seems to be pretty garbage since the launch, so it will get a new buff. Now, your player with this playstyle will be more physical, especially in shoulder-to-shoulder situations.

Defenders and midfielders will more convincingly win duels and shrug off challenges, which is realistic and beneficial for tanky builds.

Defensive Upgrades

The clunky defense will be no more as physical tackles will be refined for quicker reliable reads and block animation will be improved.

AI defender now will react much faster, closing gaps without making silly mistakes.

Shooting fixes

Finesse and Trivela shots were quite buggy in the game. There were many glitches and inconsistent curves. EA FC 26 update 1.0.4 is going to make them smooth and fix the accuracy. Now, it will be more lethal and stylish to score a goal or assist with a beautiful pass.

Kick-Off Glitch Nerfed

The very popular glitch where the passive AI lets you score right from the start of the match is now no more in EA FC 26 update 1.0.4.

AI increases aggression after kickoff, effectively ending cheese tactics. Casual games remain calm, but competitive versions become more equitable when the whistle blows.

Be A GK Mode Improvements

“Improved Be A GK” is now going to have better positioning and saves for the best immersion. There will be minor tweaks and even in the career mode as well.
