The next FIFA 23 patch is about to fix a few issues

The trivela move is nerfed!

There are going to be some noticeable changes soon enough.

As long as FIFA games have existed, there has always been a technique, shot, or other game mechanic that felt superpowered beyond belief. From around FIFA 05 to around FIFA 14, players could apparently use the finesse shot from the left side of the pitch to the right corner, and it would be an automatic goal – that was the time. Well, something similar happened in the last game, and the upcoming FIFA 23 patch is set to nerf while fixing other issues.

The FIFA 23 patch will finally address the Trivela shot, an in-game mechanic that absolutely dominates the online matches of this famous football game. The Trivela shot is a football technique where players use the outside of their foot with incredible precision and power, and this upcoming FIFA 23 patch will nerf this technique by significantly reducing its accuracy. The FIFA 23 patch will roll out to consoles and PC next week.

This shooting technique has become one of the most effective skills that most players take advantage of throughout the game. The shot is so good that people don't even walk into the opponent's box anymore, instead they walk just towards the edge of the surface and get ripped in the top corner. One of the reasons this technique is so useful is that the animation triggered by Trivela's shot often causes the opposing keeper to miss the ball entirely, which isn't exactly ideal.

Overpowered techniques like this are both hugely fun but also incredibly annoying. It's fun to score amazing goals from crazy angles, but when it happens to you constantly, that's when it stops being fun. In older games, before regular patches were a thing, techniques like this could be spiced up every game until your friend threw their pad out the window, which we know would be a fun sight , and it never got boring. It was fun while it lasted anyway, right, FIFA 23 players, and at least you got some benefit from it.

This isn't the only thing updated in the upcoming FIFA 23 patch though as there are expected to be a load of changes coming.
