EA Sports demonstrates some of the changes in a new blog post, highlighting how much more accurate passing will be following the release of the update.

A new season and Premium Pass will be added to Ultimate Team as part of the next season, while players will also benefit from an increased number of PlayStyles+ for ultimate team.
Elsewhere, EA Sports has changed the Player Career ICON selection, refreshed the Career Mode interface for Fixtures and Results, and tweaked the main menu with a new festive celebration theme.
