EA SPORTS have revealed the patch notes for FIFA 23 Update 8, as the annoying issue with referee kits has finally been addressed. Here’s everything you need to know.
FIFA 23 is the final installment in the popular franchise before it becomes EA SPORTS Football Club, and while it’s a few months old, that doesn’t mean the devs have stopped working on it.
Ultimate Team has been chock full of new promos every week, and the gameplay has undergone a number of tweaks thanks to regular updates.
Some of these updates are bigger than others, with some focused on rooting out annoying issues. FIFA 23 update 8 falls on the latter side of that, as the biggest issue that has been addressed is to do with referees in FUT.
What has been addressed in FIFA 23 Update 8?
That’s right, if you’ve played a game of Ultimate Team recently and wanted to tear your hair out because the referee is wearing the same color kit as your jersey, you’ll be pleased with this patch.
That annoying issue, along with some PC players having their game crash when opening FUT packs, have been rectified in update 8.
So, you can finally swap your kits back to a black or green number and no longer have to worry about confusing the referee for a rogue 12th man on the pitch.
Title Update #8 will soon be available for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S versions of FIFA 23. Full TU notes are available on the EASF Tracker.https://t.co/G5FHRderG2

On top of that, there are also a few bug fixes for other modes, including the fact that players were not utilizing the correct weight and height when you’d edit them.
