- **changed** — Reduced the boost from Bruiser and Bruiser+ in shoulder challenge situations
- **added** — Added a matching boost for dribblers with Enforcer or Enforcer+ to create more even head-to-head interaction
- **changed** — Improved how players react after contact so stronger tacklers can knock weaker players off balance while weaker tacklers no longer overpower stronger dribblers
- **changed** — Refined detection of challenges from behind to predict player movement and cancel challenges that would result in back contact
- **fixed** — Addressed cases where the Bruiser+ icon appeared when it was not impacting the play

In our latest Feedback Update, we’re addressing the Bruiser Playstyle following ongoing community discussion.

We’ve been closely monitoring how Playstyles are performing and testing changes between attributes and Playstyles. As a result, in an upcoming update, we’ve slightly reduced the boost from Bruiser and Bruiser+ in shoulder challenge situations and added a matching boost for dribblers with Enforcer or Enforcer+, creating a more even, head-to-head interaction

We’ve also improved how players react after contact, so stronger tacklers can still knock weaker players off balance, but weaker tacklers will no longer overpower stronger dribblers in unrealistic ways. Detection of challenges from behind has been refined, with the system predicting player movement ahead and cancelling challenges that would result in back contact. Additionally, we’ve addressed cases where the Bruiser+ icon appeared when it wasn’t impacting the play.
