The biggest focus of this patch appears to be on general gameplay that has been based on Discord feedback.

Passing

• Improved accuracy and speed of ground passing, with the impact being most noticeable on players with higher passing attributes.
• Added the ability for players without the Incisive Pass PlayStyle but with high attributes in Short Pass, Long Pass, and Curve to contextually curve through balls.
• Reduced the accuracy of lofted passes that are performed by double-tapping the through/ground pass buttons.
• Improved the trajectory of Power Shots to increase the potential of scoring from longer ranges.
• Increased Power Shot accuracy when taken with the Power Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+.
• Tuned Chip Shots to be less likely to go wide.
• Increased accuracy of Chip Shots.
• Reduced accuracy of ground and first-time passes for players with Tiki Taka PlayStyle.
• Ground passes performed with Tiki Taka will still benefit from the overall improvements in accuracy and speed.
• The accuracy of lofted ground and through passes using the Inventive PlayStyle and Inventive PlayStyle+ has been slightly increased.
• Increased the speed of Fake Shot, Heel Chop, and Feint and Exit by 5%.
• Addressed an issue where attacking players could remain stationary after repositioning

Version 1.5.0 also has changes for Clubs and Career modes, and you can read about them here. It will be interesting to see how the changes will shape the new meta in FC 26 ahead of major promos like FUT Birthday and TOTS (later in the summer).
