THIS WEEK IN SPORTS SIMULATORS

• TEVEZ, ARTETA AND LARSSON RECEIVE FIFA 23 FACE UPDATE EA Sports has released update #8 for FIFA23.

The patch will address various stability issues and addressed the referee kit bug during FUT matches. Furthermore, the update feature many graphic assets including new kits, faces, tattoos or tifos.

As always, new updates go live first for next-gen platforms (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC) – after that the rest of the versions come up to date (Stadia, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One). This can take a few days longer. • KOBBIE MAINOO, A RISING STAR, IS EXPECTED TO BE ADDED TO FIFA The short answer is no, Kobbie Mainoo is not yet in the FIFA 23 database.

17-year-old Manchester United Kobbie Mainoo made his Premier League debut in the Red Devils' comfortable 3-0 victory over Leicester City. This sparked real interest amongst the FIFA community.

EA will likely add Mainoo to the FIFA database in the coming weeks. This means that will be playable in both Kick-Off and Career Mode.

However, you will have to wait for the next title in the series to get your hands on the England youngster in Ultimate Team.
