FIFA 18 Update Makes Much Needed Changes to Ultimate Team

3.8

The latest FIFA 18 patch is now live on PC and will be coming to consoles later this week. This patch's primary goal (get it?) is to ease accessibility within the latest title, while also making a few much needed tweaks to the game's Ultimate Team.

Courtesy of EA, here are the full patch notes available now:

Made the following changes to settings:
The addition of an Accessibility Settings screen.
This is available in the Main Menu on the Customize tab by selecting the Settings tile.
This adds the following new settings:
The ability for players to remove the need to use the right stick within the game menus, allowing for navigation with the left stick only when using a controller.
The ability for players to remove the need to use the left and right trigger / left and right bumper buttons within the game menus, allowing for players to scroll up to the top of the menu and cycle through them with the left stick when using a controller.
This change will impact the Game Settings and Controller Settings screens only.
The ability to add an on-screen, and clickable, ESC button during gameplay to allow for opening the Pause Menu using the mouse only.
