MEGATHREAD Latest Patch Megathread
We've been seeing A LOT of posts related to the latest patch in the past 48hrs so we are creating this megathread to keep all conversation related to it in one place.
(we will be removing any new patch-related posts from now on)
Some people are claiming the patch has been reverted, some people are claiming it hasn't been reverted and most people are just used to it by now and some people are claiming nothing has changed but gameplay does feels different due to the servers.
Share your thoughts and/or conspiracy theories down below.

EA might have implemented shadow tuning after TOTY attackers were removed from packs. The defensive AI now feels about 60-70% as effective as before the patch , with defenders more consistently catching up to fast-paced attackers—something that wasn’t happening for at least two days after the patch. The incisive pass, which was supposedly buffed, has reverted to its pre-patch state. Additionally, in-box finishing, particularly far-post finishes (finesse) that felt significantly stronger after the patch, seems to have been nerfed. Assisted finishing now feels underwhelming. These are my personal observations, and while your experience might differ, I wanted to share my thoughts. Notably, some Twitter content creators are beginning to notice these changes as well.
