Tiki Taka | Lowered accuracy and pass quality of first-time passes.
Pinged Pass | Decreased accuracy of Driven Passes.
Pinged Pass+ | Increased accuracy of Driven Passes.
Jockey | Reduced maximum possible Sprint Jockey speed.

Press Proven+ | Increased shield effectiveness, and increased Strength Attribute effectiveness while shielding.
Long Ball Pass and Long Ball Pass+ | Decreased accuracy of crosses.

Significantly adjusted the PlayStyles below:

Power Header+ | Reduced ball speed for medium to high powered headers.
Relentless and Relentless+ | Reduced amount of half time and extra time stamina recovery.
Aerial+ | Reduced the amount of added running jump height, this includes jogging jump height as well.
Power Shot and Power Shot+ | Reduced ball speed from Power Shots.

CPU AI Changes

The Spring Update brings changes to Legendary CPU AI difficulty, intending to offer a fresh experience when playing this challenging level of opponent.

Adjusted Legendary difficulty CPU AI behaviour.
Legendary AI teams known for tiki taka play are less likely to focus on that style of play when near the opponent’s penalty area.
CPU AI players are more likely to perform shot types based on their respective PlayStyles, when applicable.
Players with lower Composure Attributes are more likely to make mistakes when pressed.
When defending against Legendary CPU AI, players can now have more time to react and effectively anticipate the CPU AI’s moves.

Several changes are aimed at creating more differentiation between matches. This includes differences in attacking tendencies between teams and the way they respond to pressure. These changes can make the match to match experience feel more unique while offering a satisfying challenge.

New Animations Based On Volumetric Data

EA FC 24 brought HyperMotionV and full team volumetric data, an advanced gameplay technology that creates true-to-football animations using capture of player movement from real-life competitive matches.

For the first time post-launch, Title Update #11 brings the addition of several new animations based on volumetric data captured from the real matches in the UEFA Champions League Group Stage. These animations are designed to make the game look and feel true-to-life.
