Fixed referee jersey issue
A lot of Ultimate Team players have been getting annoyed lately because the referee wears the same color as the player’s jersey. But now there is good news because the problem has been fixed with this patch update.
This annoying issue and the fact that for some PC players, the game crashes when opening FUT packs have been fixed with Update 8.
So you can finally put a black or green number on your shirts again and you don’t have to worry about mistaking the referee for a player on the field.
In addition, there are also some bug fixes for other modes, including players not using the correct weight and height when editing them.
