Title Update 3, a.k.a. v1.0.4 update, is coming soon to the current-gen version of FC 26, and we have an early idea about what it could include.
Similar to the two previous title updates, the upcoming patch is likely going to have a massive impact on gameplay. We now have the full patch notes available for us to go through.

- It was not always possible to interact with transfer offers for players requesting a transfer.
General, Audio, and Visual
- Made the following change:

It’s no secret that defenders with bruisers haven’t been effective in the FC 26 meta so far. As a result, many players have reverted to Tactical Defending from Advanced Defending. It now appears that the present situation could have been a result of a bug, which should be fixed shortly.
As a result, expect Advanced Defending to rise in the defensive meta once again. Defenders with the playstyle could also witness a rise in their market demand.
Finesse Shots seems to have suffered from major bugs as well. I have experienced some situations when my striker would perform a Trivela in place of a Finesse Shot. The bug should be gone once patch v.1.0.4 goes live.
