This past weekend, EA released a patch for the PC version of FIFA 13 to improve online multiplayer and career mode, whilst ensuring RVP isn’t kicking around an invisible football.

All the details were listed on EA Forums by the game’s Community Manager, which was then picked up by CVG. There is no confirmed date for when this update will be coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but expect it in the near future. The full list of updates are below.

The big dog in terms of football games has led to many amusing YouTube videos featuring crazy ragdoll physics and the like, but it isn’t so funny when matches are dropping at the 88th minute and you’re 3-0 up. As soon as we get word on when the patch is coming to 360 and PS3, you’ll be the first to know!

FIFA 13 is available now for Windows PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, iOS, Android and Nintendo Wii. The game is set to release on November 30 in Europe and November 18 in North America for Nintendo Wii U
