🎮 Online Gameplay
- Online match synchronization has been extensively reworked so that players, the ball, goalkeepers and set pieces all stay updated in the same sequence.
- Reduced cases where the ball looked delayed, snapped back to a previous position, or left from a different spot than the one shown on your screen.
- Improved consistency on fast plays, so every player sees the same sequence of actions on the pitch.
- Sharp movements, direction changes and slide tackle transitions are now more stable, both for the local player and for everyone else.

- The range to control or hit a loose ball has been reduced by 30%, making challenges and first-time finishes more precise.
- The ball and its visual indicator stay more stable while dribbling, without inconsistent visual corrections.
