Crossing has long been a contentious aspect of the game, with cross spamming tactics often dominating H2H matches. However, the FC Mobile April Update seeks to address this issue by ensuring greater balance in crossing mechanics.

The update promises to be hell for cross spammers in FC Mobile as it's now going to be tougher to launch random crosses inside the box with reduced timing, better anticipation, and precise jumping by opponents' center-backs.

Most importantly, now a player's weak foot and body balance will matter while making a cross. Accurate crossing thus will now be completely dependent on player skill and attributes.

One of the other core elements of gameplay, passing, also receives significant attention in this FC Mobile April update.

Ground passes and ground through passes now offer more reliable target selection and better avoidance of opponents, adding a layer of precision to build-up play.

The increased lead distance for ground through passes facilitates smoother execution of intricate attacking moves, while pass speed is now dynamically adjusted based on player attributes, ensuring a more realistic and responsive passing experience.

With improved stability in receiver selection, players can expect smoother transitions and more accurate distribution of the ball.

The FC Mobile April update also introduces notable improvements in dribbling. Players will notice enhanced responsiveness in dribbling controls, resulting in quicker and more fluid movements on the pitch.

The increase in jog dribble speed adds a new dimension to attacking play, allowing for quicker changes in pace and direction. Additionally, the dynamic sprint dribble kick distance provides greater flexibility in executing dribble-based attacking maneuvers, empowering players to take on defenders with confidence.


Beyond the headline features, the April update also addresses several bugs and introduces massive improvements to enhance the overall gaming experience. Players will now appreciate faster deceleration for those without the ball, making defensive positioning and interceptions more effective.

Easier access to the substitution button streamlines in-game management, while adjustments to basic chances in VS Attack mode add an extra layer of challenge for seasoned players.

Additionally, fixes to shot speed in Manager Mode and enhancements to goal replay diversity further refine the gaming experience. Overall these tweaks add more realism to the gameplay, making FC Mobile one of the best mobile sports games in the market.
