FC 24 Patch Notes Title Update 5 – Ridiculous goalkeeper glitch finally fixed

Another month filled with FC 24 is upon us, with more fixes for the game coming via the FC 24 Title Update 5. The latest patch addresses some key issues involving Evolutions and goalkeepers, among others.

With Ultimate Team, Career Mode, Clubs, and VOLTA all covered in the latest update, it’s an important read however you choose to spend your time! Check out all the key points and full patch notes for FC 24 Title Update 5 below, including when they will be released in-game.

Ridiculous goalkeeper glitch finally fixed

We’re surprised it has taken this long, but a ridiculous goalkeeper glitch will finally be fixed! A month on from the FC 24 glitch that sees goalkeepers disappear, and at last EA is going to sort it.

Goalkeepers are more likely to get booked in FC 24, which seems like a positive change. However, in some cases, after a goalkeeper was given a red card, the Team Management screen would become unresponsive, meaning you couldn’t put another player between the sticks!

This led to players being able to take penalties into an open net, as seen in this video. It isn’t the only fix EA has dished out to keepers either.

Goalies will now have improved reactions to shots aimed at their near post and also use more strength to deflect the ball. It’s about to become harder to score in FC 24!

FC 24 Title Update 5 was announced on X (formerly Twitter) via the EA Sports FC Direct Communication account on November 8.

The FC 24 Title Update 5 release date was November 9 at 6am ET / 10am GMT.
