EA SPORTS just released new FIFA 21 update for Ultimate Team: patch notes

EA SPORTS have released a new title update for FIFA 21 that makes several changes to Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and gameplay. Luckily for you, we’ve got the full patch notes. 

As far as Ultimate Team players are concerned, there’s been a lot going on in recent weeks. They have had the Team of the Week to keep them occupied, and then dotted around that weekly event has been other promos – most recently the What If event. 

For those who sit down to play some of the other modes, changes are pretty much few and far between these days. Updates to the game, though, can be an opportunity to grind through some more content.

Last year, in-game updates brought with them the CONMEBOL event and a whole host of changes to VOLTA Football have been made this time, with celebrities having been added previously.

On March 4, the developers decided to roll out another update for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Playstation 4 and PS5. If you’re wondering what’s changed this time, don’t worry, we’ve got all of the tweaks in one place below.
