Has Finesse Shot+ playstyle been nerfed in FC 26

The Finesse Shot playstyle has been one of the most overpowered options in FC 26, but players have run into a spot of bother. There have been numerous reports of the playstyle being nerfed ever since EA Sports dropped the v1.4.2 update earlier on Feb. 4. Several players have stated how the Finesse Shot+ playstyle has completely stopped working as intended. However, the true reason is something different.Has EA Sports nerfed Finesse Shot+ in FC 26 As of writing, EA Sports hasn't nerfed the Finesse Shot+. The base variant is working as intended, and I have tested it. It's the playstyle+ that's not working as intended. I have properly reviewed the patch notes, and there's no instance of a nerf to the playstyle. Any major change made by EA Sports is typically added ot the patch notes. The patch notes for v1.4.2 have no mention of nerfs to any playstyle+, let alone Finesse Shot.https://twitter.com/EASFCDirect/status/2018654778075886080 There's no exact mention of why the Finesse Shot+ isn't working as intended. I firmly believe that it's a bug. I have tried spamming the Finesse Shot+ playstyle, and it appears to be working randomly. Sometimes, the shots proceed as intended and often result in a goal. Sometimes, there appears to be no power behind the shot. While the shot's path has the expected curve, the lack of power makes it easy for the opposition goalkeeper to save the attempt. As I mentioned, this only seems to be happening with the playstyle+. While the icon (for Finesse Shot+) lights up as intended, the ineffectiveness of the shot will be pretty apparent. If this is a bug, expect it to be fixed soon. As of writing, it's best to use cards that have other playstyle+, since using Finesse Shot can be problematic. You might be on goal and yet fail to score due to a possible bug. Cards with alternate playstye+ like Low-Driven, can be a good choice if you want to go full meta.
