The first patch for EA’s annual football/soccer title, Fifa 19, is available now on PC. The patch is coming soon to consoles.

The patch notes are hefty, detailing numerous fixes, improvements, and additions since the release of the base game.

[shunno-quote]Gameplay:

  • When players are anticipating a regular shot (laced) outside of the box, they’re and are seeing side-foot animation shots instead — this has been addressed
  • Fixed an issue where the power bar was going to 100% shot power when the player requested less.[/shunno-quote]

[shunno-quote]Traits: [/shunno-quote]

  • Some Traits that no longer had any functionality in gameplay were still displaying in the Front End.
  • Some Traits that did have functionality in gameplay were not displaying in the Front End.
  • Added (CPU AI-controlled players only) to the names of Traits that only have an effect on players when they are controlled by the CPU AI.
    • A refresher on what we mean by “CPU AI.”
      • The CPU plays the game as you would, limited by the same input restrictions that a human player is.
      • This means that the CPU team has an active player, just like you do, which we call the CPU AI-controlled player.
      • A CPU AI-controlled player exists in the following circumstances:
        • On a team with no human players.
          • For example, the CPU-controlled team in Squad Battles.
        • On a team with human players who are all locked to specific players, that also has CPU teammates.
          • For example, a Pro Clubs team, with less than 11 human players, with no “ANY” player.
        • A CPU AI-controlled player does not exist in the following circumstances:
          • On a team with human players who are not locked to specific players.
            • For example, a team in FUT Champions.

[shunno-quote]Other additions and fixes:[/shunno-quote]

  • We’ve added authentic UEFA Super Cup overlay packages to the game. Check out some screens:

  • For those of you who sent in feedback regarding the wrong portion of the Champions League anthem playing during player lineups, the issue has been fixed.
  • We’ve addressed a bug that showed Neymar’s name only displaying as “Jr.” in some screens.
