FIFA 23’s Title Update #7 brings better positioning for corner kicks
Another FIFA 23 Title Update has been announced by EA Sports, which will be available soon for the game’s PC version.
It’s likely that a similar update will follow for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S not long afterwards, since a lot of the contents are not specific to the PC edition.
The biggest change in terms of gameplay concerns corner kicks, which are being improved a bit through better positioning. When a corner kick is due, the game will henceforth try to position tall players in attack-oriented positions, giving you a better chance of scoring with a header.
Title Update #7 also includes a few bug fixes and additional functionalities, which you can check in the full patch notes below.
