FIFA 21 Title Update #13: patch notes, release time

EA SPORTS released FIFA 21 Title Update 13, and although it doesn’t include any major gameplay changes, it addresses several issues and audio-visual problems within the game.

FIFA 21 isn’t perfect by any means, but it’s a well-oiled machine, for the most part, thanks to constant tweaks and changes. EA SPORTS has been on the ball with addressing issues and keeping the game polished in their Title Updates, and the latest one does exactly that.

It’s not a game-changer by any means, but it fixes some annoying quality of life and user interface problems that stood out like a sore thumb. 

For example, ICON Moments 2D Images weren’t always displaying correctly on Player Items, messages in the news tile weren’t displaying correctly, and unexpected kit clashes were occurring with the No Room For Racism Kit.

Fortunately, these have all been fixed, along with a wealth of other audio-visual problems affecting everything from Squad Battles FUT Coin Skill Rewards, the timer in the Kit Select screen, and Bid Status Icons in FIFA Ultimate Team to background player models being stuck on-screen, and more.

But that’s not all. The patch also fixes a bizarre issue in Career Mode that made substituted players lose a ridiculous amount of Stamina compared to their teammates.
