FIFA 22 has today debuted title update 9 on all platforms, so here’s everything that’s been changed and added with this patch. Today’s update is much beefier than most updates have been for FIFA 22, but it doesn’t seem to be a large update either. Instead, a series of updates have been made to CONMEBOL competitions alongside a whole heap of bug fixes both for it and other areas of the game. The last important thing of note is that Russian teams of any kind have been removed from FIFA 22 due to the ongoing brutal war in Ukraine. Without further adieu, here’s everything new with FIFA 22 in title update 9!
