FIFA 18: TWO game-breaking bugs have just been discovered
A pair of game-breaking bugs have found their way on to FIFA 18 – worryingly coinciding with the release of a new patch.
One glitch sees players stand still at the end of the first half of a match – and refuse to leave the pitch.
Gamers are posting pics of the bugs on Reddit
The other causes players to celebrate for an indefinite amount of time – sometimes upwards of 10 minutes – when they score a goal.
One gamer wrote on Reddit: “I scored a penalty my player ran over to the corner flag and then proceeded to celebrate there non-stop. “The timer had slowed to real time but just stayed in added time until I had to quit.
“It’s a joke that every patch they release just makes the game worse.”
FIFA 18 fans received their fourth patch this week as EA Sports battles to improve the game.

The patch comes as pressure mounts on EA Sports
The latest patch makes a number of key changes – including fixing incorrect penalty calls where a defender legally wins a header but also collides with an attacking player.
Elsewhere, goalkeepers have been improved – now no longer staying on the ground for too long or failing to gather loose balls.
Other, more general bugs have also been removed.
