FIFA 23 players on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC can now start installing Title Update 5, which delivers a huge number of fixes to FIFA Ultimate Team as well as World Cup, Career, Pro Clubs, and Volta Football modes.
While a long list of issues including UI problems will be fixed in all game modes in FIFA 23 with the latest patch, the developer also adjusts through-balls by reducing the accuracy and the ball trajectory. So, your through-balls are now less likely to land exactly where you wanted them to be, in order to make counter-attacks using through-balls a bit fairer.
Other than this change, the developer has also updated stadiums, kits, and crowds. Also, a change in UI elements and commentary lines has been applied, which might not be significant, but you are about experience fewer issues with the UI overall.
Below, you can take a look at the full list of patch notes for Title Update 5:
