- Improved the responsiveness of dribbling, when not using any dribbling modifiers or skill moves, for players that have an average rating of 80 or higher between the Attributes of Dribbling, Agility and Balance.
- The effectiveness of this improvement will scale based on the average rating with the least improvement being felt at 80 and the most improvement at 99.
- This will not have an impact on players that do not have an average rating of 80 or higher between the Attributes of Dribbling, Agility and Balance.
- In a penalty kick situation we have Increased the range that a goalkeeper will react to the ball, and attempt to make a save, when they are standing still in the middle of the net.

- Reduced the effectiveness of Contain and Secondary Contain, by making the following changes:
- Players that are being controlled by Contain or Secondary Contain will no longer sprint to catch up to the player they are trying to defend.

- Sometimes the goalkeeper would not correctly control the ball at their feet after making a knock down save.
