FIFA 19 Update 1.06 Pitch Notes - Title Update 5: Gameplay Fixes, Shooting and Skill Moves Patch in FUT
FIFA 19 title update 5 PC is now available on December 6, 2018, with the FIFA 19 Version 1.06 pitch notes for PS4 and XBOX ONE console to follow at a later date. FIFA 19 Update 1.06 (pitch notes) including gameplay fixes to first time finesse shots, the Elástico skill move and FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) updates below. And check out the official EA Sports FIFA 19 Pitch notes Patch 5 in here.
Hey FIFA fans,
The holiday season is approaching, and in the spirit of giving, we bring you yet another edition of the Pitch Notes, this time focused on FIFA 19 Title Update #5, available now for PC and targeted for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the near future.
The two changes to in this title update that we want to focus on are a change to some first time finesse shots, and a change to the Elástico skill move.
We have seen the feedback coming from the community that the effectiveness of first time finesse shots was too high. In a previous title update, we had made adjustments to reduce the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the ball was being received by the player from behind. In this title update, we continue to make adjustments to shooting, reducing the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the lateral ball velocity is high.
To understand this change, we first need to talk about what we mean by 'lateral ball velocity'. In the context of this change, the lateral ball velocity is the difference in degrees between the incoming angle of the ball when it is being received by the player, and the angle of the ball leaving the player as they take a shot. It's important to note that the angle of the ball leaving the player is not the same as the target of the shot, as the ball can curl or swerve after it has left a player's foot from a shot.
So, as an example, assuming that the angle of the ball leaving a player's foot from a shot is 0 degrees, and the ball was coming into the player at 75 degrees, than the lateral ball velocity would be 75 degrees.
With that out of the way, let's dig into the actual change.
A first time finesse shot, with a high lateral ball velocity, is now more likely to be impacted by error, resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin. In addition, the impact that a player's Finishing Attribute will have on reducing the chance of error for these shots has also been reduced.
While this change can affect all first time finesse shots, the change is most impactful when lateral ball velocity is 90 or 270 degrees, or essentially when the ball is coming into the player directly to the left or right of where it is going to leave their foot. The full range of impact for this change is:
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 0 degrees (lowest impact) to 90 degrees (highest impact).
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 180 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 180 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
Below is a visual representation of the above, where 0 degrees is the point by which the ball is leaving the foot of the player taking the shot.
To better illustrate how this change plays out in game, here are examples of 100 shots being taken by Eden Hazard, where the lateral ball velocity was 86.25 degrees. The blue lines show shots that would have been on the net, which could end up as saves by the keeper or could end up being goals, while the red lines show shots that would have been off target.
Before Title Update :
After Title Update:
The feedback from the community was, that when executing the Elastico Skill Move, the ball was travelling too far away from the dribbling player. We have adjusted the distance that the ball moves away from the player when executing this move to keep it closer to the dribbling player.
Below you can see a video comparison of a 5 star skilled player performing the Elastico Skill Move before and after the title update. After the title update, the ball stays much closer to the dribbling player.
● Adjustments to the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the lateral ball velocity is very high.
● These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
● The impact of a player's Finishing Attribute on lowering the chance for error for these kicks has also been reduced.
● Lateral Ball velocity, in this context, is the difference in degrees of the incoming angle of the ball to a player compared to it's angle of exit from a player's foot on a shot.
■ The angle of exit is not the target of the shot, but the angle by which the ball exits a player's foot.
■ This change has the highest impact when the difference between the incoming angle and outgoing angle of the ball is 90 or 270 degrees, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player's foot from a shot.
■ The impact of this change scales from lowest to highest along these angles, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player's foot from a shot:
■ 0 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
■ 180 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
■ 180 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
■ 0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
● Reduced the likelihood that a goal kick that is being aimed near a receiving player will go into open space.
● In a goal kick situation, defending center backs will now be positioned closer together.
● In a goal kick situation, where the ball will be contested by both an attacking and defending player, the defending player will be more likely to move towards the landing location of the ball.
● The ball will now stay closer to the dribbling player when executing the Elastico skill move.
● When playing a match while locked to a player, during a corner kick situation, it was possible to knock the ball off of the corner kick spot by running towards the corner and pressing the D-Pad to execute a user controlled reaction.
● A situation where an attacking player was able to crash into the opponent's keeper, while they are holding the ball, and knock them into the net resulting in an own goal.
● This situation would now result in a foul and the goal being disallowed.
Addressed the following issues:
● Viewing the Roles tab, in the Team Management screen, via the Pause Menu in a FUT Offline Mode, such as Squad Battles, will now show the impact of Chemistry on a player's attributes.
● Viewing the Roles tab, in the Team Management screen, during the pre-match flow in all FUT modes, will now properly display player attributes.
● Sometimes players were able to add both a normal Player Item and a Concept Player Item for the same player to a Squad Building Challenge Squad, which would lead to an error message.
Addressed the following issues:
● The post-match progression meter in Pro Clubs was not always displaying a players Overall Rating or progression accurately.
● This was a visual issue only as the proper Overall Rating was being used in gameplay and was displayed correctly in the Pro Clubs HUB.
Made the following changes:
● Added 5 new boots to the list of available boots when customizing a player, such as in Pro Clubs or Player Career.
● Updated the 2D portraits for 26 players.
● Removed the 2D portraits from 25 players.
● Updates to a number of team kits, crests and banners.
● Sometimes, player models were appearing in the background after exiting a match.
● Sometimes, a white box would appear in the background after exiting a match.
● The full team names for some teams were incorrect in some languages and have been corrected.
● The three character abbreviation for some teams was incorrect in some languages and has been corrected.
● Removed the hyphen from Zulte Waregem's team name.
● This was a visual issue only as the proper Overall Rating was being used in gameplay and was displayed correctly in the Pro Clubs HUB. While this change can affect all first time finesse shots, the change is most impactful when lateral ball velocity is 90 or 270 degrees, or essentially when the ball is coming into the player directly to the left or right of where it is going to leave their foot.

Made the following changes:
- Adjustments to the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the incoming ball is coming from behind the shooting player, between 135 and 225 degrees, where 0 degrees is the direction the player is facing.
- These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
- The most significant impact will be seen when the incoming ball angle is 180 degrees, with scaling reduced impact being seen up to an incoming ball angle of 135 degrees and 225 degrees on either side of the player.
Adjustments to the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player:
- Increased the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from in front of the shooting player. Reduced the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from behind the shooting player.
Reduced the likelihood that a shot which was correctly aimed into the net, and that was targeting a location near to the post, would miss the net in a shooting situation where the attacking player is under no defensive pressure and is not off balance. When dribbling, players were getting pushed off the ball too easily in situations where the defending player was approaching the attacking player from the side. The attacking player will now be slightly more effective at holding the defending player off.
- The effect of this change will scale based on the strength of the attacking player, with stronger players seeing the greatest effect from this change.
Some adjustments to the speed by which an attacking player, who has just lost the ball to a successful tackle, is able to recover the ball. A minor reduction to the acceleration of a player that has executed the Open Up Fake Shot skill move. When playing in an Online match, you will now be able to see the Timed Finishing indicators for your opponent.
- This only applies to a shot that would generate a Very Early (red), Early (yellow) or Great (green) shot, it will not apply for Late (gray) shots, or any shot where the player didn’t attempt to use Timed Finishing.
Addressed the following issues:
- Sometimes, when trying to execute a low driven shot, the player was executing a chip shot instead. Improvements in situations where a player that was in a better position to win a header was losing it due to the other player warping in front of them. Addressed some issues where player switching was late, or was not happening, when defending against an aerial ball. When performing a first time thigh trap, the player receiving the ball was slowing down too much after making the trap. Keepers were sometimes kicking the ball forward when moving towards it instead of picking it up. Keepers were rarely not diving to intercept the ball after a cross was made into the box and the ball was close to the keeper. Keepers were sometimes not reacting to a penalty kick that was shot directly at them or very near them. Keepers were sometimes hitting a powered up first time lob pass too soft and low, potentially resulting in the opposing team getting the ball. In a penalty kick situation during a match, if the player taking the penalty kick hit the post directly, without the keeper touching it, they were able to play the ball again before another player touched it. User controlled players were able to push the keeper out of the way in a free kick situation.
- Keepers are now more difficult to move. If a keeper is moved, they will now attempt to return to their original position after being moved. An offside will be called if an attacking player is interfering with the keeper during a free kick while in an offside position. Defenders will no longer follow their mark into the goal and potentially cause interference with their keeper.
In the rare instance where the ball was heading towards an open net, and the attacking user was pressing the Cancel controls, an offside attacking player would still try to attack the ball, causing an offside call and the goal being called back. Paul Pogba was performing the incorrect run up animation when taking a long free kick.
Made the following changes:
- We have made changes to the Division Rivals pre-match flow in an effort to reduce the difficulty of some players finding a match.
- Your team will now always be displayed on the left side, and your opponent will always be displayed on the right side, regardless of which team is Home or Away, on the following screens:
- Team Select screen. Kit Select screen. Match Preview screen.
On the Kit Select screen, both teams will now default to the kit assigned as their Home Kit. When on the Team Management screen, your team’s crest will be displayed on the right side of the screen.
We have made the following changes to Roles section of Dynamic Tactics within FUT:
- When using the Auto-Assign Player Roles button, the impact of chemistry on a player’s attributes will now be taken into consideration when assigning players. When attributes are being displayed on this screen, the impact of chemistry on those attributes will also be shown when viewing this screen in the FUT Squad screen.
- We have hidden the attributes being displayed on this screen when it is accessed during the pre-match flow in all FUT modes due to an issue that we are working to resolve in a future title update when available. When viewing this screen in the Team Management screen via the Pause Menu in a FUT Offline Mode, such as FUT Squad Battles, the attributes will still be showing their values without the impact of chemistry, something we are working to resolve in a future title update when available.
Addressed the following issues:
- Stability issue in FUT Friendly Seasons if your opponent backs out of the pre-match flow while on the Kit Select screen. Stability issue after watching a FUT Champions Channel replay. When swapping your FUT Squad Manager, the contract percentage bonus provided by the new manager was not applying until the player logged out and logged back into the FUT Servers. The Match Earnings leaderboard sometimes was displaying the incorrect value for some players. One of the Starter Objectives referenced a feature not present in FIFA 19. Stability issue if a player exited and entered the same screen repeatedly.
Addressed the following issues:
- When playing as the manager for the Hyundai A-League, you were always being fired after completion of your first match, regardless of the result. Selling a player that had been assigned as a Quick Sub was causing the following issues:
- When using the associated Team Sheet in a game, players were unable to leave the Team Management screen after entering it through the Pause Menu. Visual issues on the associated Team Sheet when viewed in the Squad Hub.
Made the following changes:
- Added the assets for 50 new player and manager starheads.
- Server side changes are required before these starheads will be available for use in game, please follow @EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter for updates on when these are available. The full list of additions can be found in the Pitch Notes article about this patch, you can find it on https://www. ea. com/games/fifa/fifa-19/pitch-notes
Updates to a number of team kits and crests.
Addressed the following issues:
- The Cockerel displayed in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is now correctly looking to the east. Sometimes, player models were appearing in the background after exiting a match. Sometimes, a white box would appear in the background after exiting a match.
*Note – The following issue has been identified with this patch, we are working to resolve in a future title update when and if available.
Addressed the following issues:

FIFA 19 Update 1.06 Patch Notes: Latest download brings big changes to PS4, Xbox release (Pic: EA SPORTS)
FIFA 19 has just launched a new update for the game on PS4 and Xbox One.
This was previously released for PC users last week but has only just started rolling out for those playing on console.
The patch notes are pretty much identical to those released previously for PC and can be viewed in full detail just below.
According to the Dev team, two of the biggest changes relate to " first-time finesse shots, and a change to the Elástico skill move."
For the purpose of this story we're simply going to cover the key patch notes provided by EA.
But if you want a quick rundown of the main highlights then have no fear. You can read about the changes in more depth by following the link below to the FIFA 19 Pitch Notes.
But if you do want to digest the patch notes in their entirety, keep reading and you'll find that as well.

- These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin. The impact of a player's Finishing Attribute on lowering the chance for error for these kicks has also been reduced.
- Lateral Ball velocity, in this context, is the difference in degrees of the incoming angle of the ball to a player compared to it's angle of exit from a player's foot on a shot.
- The angle of exit is not the target of the shot, but the angle by which the ball exits a player's foot. This change has the highest impact when the difference between the incoming angle and outgoing angle of the ball is 90 or 270 degrees, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player's foot from a shot. The impact of this change scales from lowest to highest along these angles, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player's foot from a shot:
- 0 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest). 180 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest). 180 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest). 0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).

FIFA 19 title update 5 PC is now available on December 6, 2018, with the FIFA 19 Version 1.06 pitch notes for PS4 and XBOX ONE console to follow at a later date. FIFA 19 Update 1.06 (pitch notes) including gameplay fixes to first time finesse shots, the Elástico skill move and FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) updates below. And check out the official EA Sports FIFA 19 Pitch notes Patch 5 in here.
Hey FIFA fans,
The holiday season is approaching, and in the spirit of giving, we bring you yet another edition of the Pitch Notes, this time focused on FIFA 19 Title Update #5, available now for PC and targeted for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the near future.
The two changes to in this title update that we want to focus on are a change to some first time finesse shots, and a change to the Elástico skill move.
We have seen the feedback coming from the community that the effectiveness of first time finesse shots was too high. In a previous title update, we had made adjustments to reduce the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the ball was being received by the player from behind. In this title update, we continue to make adjustments to shooting, reducing the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the lateral ball velocity is high.
To understand this change, we first need to talk about what we mean by 'lateral ball velocity'. In the context of this change, the lateral ball velocity is the difference in degrees between the incoming angle of the ball when it is being received by the player, and the angle of the ball leaving the player as they take a shot. It's important to note that the angle of the ball leaving the player is not the same as the target of the shot, as the ball can curl or swerve after it has left a player's foot from a shot.
So, as an example, assuming that the angle of the ball leaving a player's foot from a shot is 0 degrees, and the ball was coming into the player at 75 degrees, than the lateral ball velocity would be 75 degrees.
With that out of the way, let's dig into the actual change.
A first time finesse shot, with a high lateral ball velocity, is now more likely to be impacted by error, resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin. In addition, the impact that a player's Finishing Attribute will have on reducing the chance of error for these shots has also been reduced.
While this change can affect all first time finesse shots, the change is most impactful when lateral ball velocity is 90 or 270 degrees, or essentially when the ball is coming into the player directly to the left or right of where it is going to leave their foot. The full range of impact for this change is:
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 0 degrees (lowest impact) to 90 degrees (highest impact).
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 180 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 180 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
Below is a visual representation of the above, where 0 degrees is the point by which the ball is leaving the foot of the player taking the shot.
To better illustrate how this change plays out in game, here are examples of 100 shots being taken by Eden Hazard, where the lateral ball velocity was 86.25 degrees. The blue lines show shots that would have been on the net, which could end up as saves by the keeper or could end up being goals, while the red lines show shots that would have been off target.
Before Title Update :
After Title Update:
The feedback from the community was, that when executing the Elastico Skill Move, the ball was travelling too far away from the dribbling player. We have adjusted the distance that the ball moves away from the player when executing this move to keep it closer to the dribbling player.
Below you can see a video comparison of a 5 star skilled player performing the Elastico Skill Move before and after the title update. After the title update, the ball stays much closer to the dribbling player.
● Adjustments to the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the lateral ball velocity is very high.
● These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
● The impact of a player's Finishing Attribute on lowering the chance for error for these kicks has also been reduced.
● Lateral Ball velocity, in this context, is the difference in degrees of the incoming angle of the ball to a player compared to it's angle of exit from a player's foot on a shot.
■ The angle of exit is not the target of the shot, but the angle by which the ball exits a player's foot.
■ This change has the highest impact when the difference between the incoming angle and outgoing angle of the ball is 90 or 270 degrees, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player's foot from a shot.
■ The impact of this change scales from lowest to highest along these angles, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player's foot from a shot:
■ 0 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
■ 180 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
■ 180 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
■ 0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
● Reduced the likelihood that a goal kick that is being aimed near a receiving player will go into open space.
● In a goal kick situation, defending center backs will now be positioned closer together.
● In a goal kick situation, where the ball will be contested by both an attacking and defending player, the defending player will be more likely to move towards the landing location of the ball.
● The ball will now stay closer to the dribbling player when executing the Elastico skill move.
● When playing a match while locked to a player, during a corner kick situation, it was possible to knock the ball off of the corner kick spot by running towards the corner and pressing the D-Pad to execute a user controlled reaction.
● A situation where an attacking player was able to crash into the opponent's keeper, while they are holding the ball, and knock them into the net resulting in an own goal.
● This situation would now result in a foul and the goal being disallowed.
Addressed the following issues:
● Viewing the Roles tab, in the Team Management screen, via the Pause Menu in a FUT Offline Mode, such as Squad Battles, will now show the impact of Chemistry on a player's attributes.
● Viewing the Roles tab, in the Team Management screen, during the pre-match flow in all FUT modes, will now properly display player attributes.
● Sometimes players were able to add both a normal Player Item and a Concept Player Item for the same player to a Squad Building Challenge Squad, which would lead to an error message.
Addressed the following issues:
● The post-match progression meter in Pro Clubs was not always displaying a players Overall Rating or progression accurately.
● This was a visual issue only as the proper Overall Rating was being used in gameplay and was displayed correctly in the Pro Clubs HUB.
Made the following changes:
● Added 5 new boots to the list of available boots when customizing a player, such as in Pro Clubs or Player Career.
● Updated the 2D portraits for 26 players.
● Removed the 2D portraits from 25 players.
● Updates to a number of team kits, crests and banners.
● Sometimes, player models were appearing in the background after exiting a match.
● Sometimes, a white box would appear in the background after exiting a match.
● The full team names for some teams were incorrect in some languages and have been corrected.
● The three character abbreviation for some teams was incorrect in some languages and has been corrected.
● Removed the hyphen from Zulte Waregem's team name.
■ 0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest). ■ Lateral Ball Velocity of 0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
Posted by: Damien in FIFA 19, News November 6, 2018
The third official title update for FIFA 19 has arrived on PC, just two weeks after the release of the second update.
Below you can see the rundown of what this patch contains:
Made the following changes:
- Adjustments to the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the incoming ball is coming from behind the shooting player, between 135 and 225 degrees, where 0 degrees is the direction the player is facing.
- These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
- The most significant impact will be seen when the incoming ball angle is 180 degrees, with scaling reduced impact being seen up to an incoming ball angle of 135 degrees and 225 degrees on either side of the player.
Adjustments to the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player:
- Increased the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from in front of the shooting player. Reduced the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from behind the shooting player.
Reduced the likelihood that a shot which was correctly aimed into the net, and that was targeting a location near to the post, would miss the net in a shooting situation where the attacking player is under no defensive pressure and is not off balance. When dribbling, players were getting pushed off the ball too easily in situations where the defending player was approaching the attacking player from the side. The attacking player will now be slightly more effective at holding the defending player off.
- The effect of this change will scale based on the strength of the attacking player, with stronger players seeing the greatest effect from this change.
Some adjustments to the speed by which an attacking player, who has just lost the ball to a successful tackle, is able to recover the ball. A minor reduction to the acceleration of a player that has executed the Open Up Fake Shot skill move. When playing in an Online match, you will now be able to see the Timed Finishing indicators for your opponent.
- This only applies to a shot that would generate a Very Early (red), Early (yellow) or Great (green) shot, it will not apply for Late (gray) shots, or any shot where the player didn’t attempt to use Timed Finishing.
Addressed the following issues:
- Sometimes, when trying to execute a low driven shot, the player was executing a chip shot instead. Improvements in situations where a player that was in a better position to win a header was losing it due to the other player warping in front of them. Addressed some issues where player switching was late, or was not happening, when defending against an aerial ball. When performing a first time thigh trap, the player receiving the ball was slowing down too much after making the trap. Keepers were sometimes kicking the ball forward when moving towards it instead of picking it up. Keepers were rarely not diving to intercept the ball after a cross was made into the box and the ball was close to the keeper. Keepers were sometimes not reacting to a penalty kick that was shot directly at them or very near them. Keepers were sometimes hitting a powered up first time lob pass too soft and low, potentially resulting in the opposing team getting the ball. In a penalty kick situation during a match, if the player taking the penalty kick hit the post directly, without the keeper touching it, they were able to play the ball again before another player touched it. User controlled players were able to push the keeper out of the way in a free kick situation.
- Keepers are now more difficult to move. If a keeper is moved, they will now attempt to return to their original position after being moved. An offside will be called if an attacking player is interfering with the keeper during a free kick while in an offside position. Defenders will no longer follow their mark into the goal and potentially cause interference with their keeper.
In the rare instance where the ball was heading towards an open net, and the attacking user was pressing the Cancel controls, an offside attacking player would still try to attack the ball, causing an offside call and the goal being called back. Paul Pogba was performing the incorrect run up animation when taking a long free kick.
Made the following changes:
- We have made changes to the Division Rivals pre-match flow in an effort to reduce the difficulty of some players finding a match.
- Your team will now always be displayed on the left side, and your opponent will always be displayed on the right side, regardless of which team is Home or Away, on the following screens:
- Team Select screen. Kit Select screen. Match Preview screen.
On the Kit Select screen, both teams will now default to the kit assigned as their Home Kit. When on the Team Management screen, your team’s crest will be displayed on the right side of the screen.
We have made the following changes to Roles section of Dynamic Tactics within FUT:
- When using the Auto-Assign Player Roles button, the impact of chemistry on a player’s attributes will now be taken into consideration when assigning players. When attributes are being displayed on this screen, the impact of chemistry on those attributes will also be shown when viewing this screen in the FUT Squad screen.
- We have hidden the attributes being displayed on this screen when it is accessed during the pre-match flow in all FUT modes due to an issue that we are working to resolve in a future title update when available. When viewing this screen in the Team Management screen via the Pause Menu in a FUT Offline Mode, such as FUT Squad Battles, the attributes will still be showing their values without the impact of chemistry, something we are working to resolve in a future title update when available.
Addressed the following issues:
- Stability issue in FUT Friendly Seasons if your opponent backs out of the pre-match flow while on the Kit Select screen. Stability issue after watching a FUT Champions Channel replay. When swapping your FUT Squad Manager, the contract percentage bonus provided by the new manager was not applying until the player logged out and logged back into the FUT Servers. The Match Earnings leaderboard sometimes was displaying the incorrect value for some players. One of the Starter Objectives referenced a feature not present in FIFA 19. Stability issue if a player exited and entered the same screen repeatedly.
Addressed the following issues:
- When playing as the manager for the Hyundai A-League, you were always being fired after completion of your first match, regardless of the result. Selling a player that had been assigned as a Quick Sub was causing the following issues:
- When using the associated Team Sheet in a game, players were unable to leave the Team Management screen after entering it through the Pause Menu. Visual issues on the associated Team Sheet when viewed in the Squad Hub.
Made the following changes:
- Added the assets for 50 new player and manager starheads.
- Server side changes are required before these starheads will be available for use in game. The full list of additions can be found Here.
Updates to a number of team kits and crests.
Addressed the following issues:
- The Cockerel displayed in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is now correctly looking to the east. Sometimes, player models were appearing in the background after exiting a match. Sometimes, a white box would appear in the background after exiting a match.
*Note – The following issue has been identified with this patch and EA Soirts are working to resolve in a future title update when and if available.
- During a match, when bringing up the ‘Select Kick Taker’ overlay during a Set Piece situation, it is possible for the attributes of a player to be displayed as over 99.
- This issue is visual only, the maximum attribute value in terms of gameplay impact is 99. This issue can occur in all non-FUT modes within FIFA 19. This issue would only occur if the player was receiving a form boost that would cause the impacted attribute to exceed 99.
Update will be available on XB1 and PS4 consoles early next week.
- Stability issue in FUT Friendly Seasons if your opponent backs out of the pre-match flow while on the Kit Select screen. Stability issue after watching a FUT Champions Channel replay. When swapping your FUT Squad Manager, the contract percentage bonus provided by the new manager was not applying until the player logged out and logged back into the FUT Servers. The Match Earnings leaderboard sometimes was displaying the incorrect value for some players. One of the Starter Objectives referenced a feature not present in FIFA 19. Stability issue if a player exited and entered the same screen repeatedly.
- Adjustments to the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the incoming ball is coming from behind the shooting player, between 135 and 225 degrees, where 0 degrees is the direction the player is facing.
- These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
- The most significant impact will be seen when the incoming ball angle is 180 degrees, with scaling reduced impact being seen up to an incoming ball angle of 135 degrees and 225 degrees on either side of the player.
Adjustments to the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player:
- Increased the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from in front of the shooting player. Reduced the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from behind the shooting player.
Reduced the likelihood that a shot which was correctly aimed into the net, and that was targeting a location near to the post, would miss the net in a shooting situation where the attacking player is under no defensive pressure and is not off balance. When dribbling, players were getting pushed off the ball too easily in situations where the defending player was approaching the attacking player from the side. The attacking player will now be slightly more effective at holding the defending player off.

⚙️ ADDED CONTENT & FEATURES
Made the following changes:
– Reduced the maximum size of the Timed Finishing window for a green timed shot.
The impact of this change will scale with a higher impact on shots where the time between the initial button press to take the shot and the button press to perform Timed Finishing is longer.
For example, a first time finesse shot where the ball is coming from a long distance away, or when queuing up a shot after a long knock on during a dribble.
– Reduced the effectiveness of yellow timed shots.
These shots are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
– Reduced the effectiveness of higher powered finesse shots, both timed and non-timed shots.
These shots are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
– Further reduced the likelihood that a shot which was correctly aimed into the net, and that was targeting a location near to the post, would miss the net in a shooting situation where the attacking player is under no defensive pressure and is not off balance.
This change builds further on the change that was made in Title Update 3.
– Reduced the speed of the goalkeeper when being controlled by manual movement.
The impact of this change will be higher when using manual movement during open play and lower when using manual movement during corner kicks and indirect free kicks.
– Goalkeepers will now maintain a ready posture when being controlled by manual movement.
Addressed the following issues:
– An issue where a timed finesse shot would always have less error than a non-timed finesse shot, even in situations where the timed finesse shot was red or yellow.
The level of error reduction for a timed finesse shot is now in line with the level of error reduction for other timed shots.
– The ball speed of a yellow or red timed finesse shot was found to be too high and has been reduced.
– Rarely the goalkeeper was unable to move using manual movement during a corner kick.
– Rarely, in a situation where the goalkeeper thinks that the ball is going to go out of play but didn’t, such as due to a deflection or an opposing player taking control of the ball, the goalkeeper was not reacting properly.
– If an AI Teammate runs into or jumps into the opposing goalkeeper it was possible for it to result in a goal and no called foul.
This should now properly result in a foul being called and the goal not being allowed.
An AI Teammate is any player on the pitch that is not being controlled by a human, or is not the CPU AI Controlled Player.
Addressed the following issues:
– Sometimes the ‘Take Me There’ link for a Squad Building Challenge (SBC) would not take the player to the SBC screen. If this issue occurred, attempting to change tabs in the FUT hub would also not work correctly.
– When completing an SBC with rewards that contained multiple packs of the same type, the SBC Completion Screen was only displaying the name under one of the packs.
– Attempting to list a player on the Transfer Market from the SBC Squad Screen, who had just been purchased off the Transfer Market, would sometimes result in an error.
CAREER MODE
Addressed the following issues:
– In Player Career, finishing in first place in your league at the end of the season was not properly awarding the Win The League accomplishment.
– In Manager and Player Career, players being unable to grow their overall rating and instead showing as -1 overall in multiple screens.
– The Emirates FA Cup Final match being scheduled the day before the final match of the Premier League season.
This fix will not impact existing Career Mode save files, only new Career Mode save files.
Made the following changes:
– The fatigue reduction that is applied to a Pro Clubs player when it was being controlled by someone locked to a position has now also been applied to the players when they are being controlled by someone playing on ‘Any’.
Addressed the following issues:
– In Pro Clubs, the Club Squad screen was not displaying the stats for each member of the club on the panel on the left side of the screen.
– Sometimes a Pro Clubs Virtual Pro’s overall rating was incorrect when displayed in the Pro Clubs hub screens.
The overall rating that was being shown in a match, including the end of match flow, was correct.
The overall rating that was being used during gameplay was also correct, so this was a visual issue only.
For players that were impacted by this issue, you could see the overall rating of your Virtual Pro, when displayed in the Pro Clubs hub, be lower than it was prior to the title update.
The overall rating used in gameplay and shown during a match should remain the same.
Made the following changes:
– Updates to the stadium banners and flags for Fulham.
Addressed the following issues:
– Corrected the ad boards that display in an Online Friendlies match when the home team is from Bundesliga 1 or Bundesliga 2.

Made the following changes:
– Adjustments to the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the lateral ball velocity is very high. These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin. The impact of a player’s Finishing Attribute on lowering the chance for error for these kicks has also been reduced. Lateral Ball velocity, in this context, is the difference in degrees of the incoming angle of the ball to a player compared to it’s angle of exit from a player’s foot on a shot. The angle of exit is not the target of the shot, but the angle by which the ball exits a player’s foot. This change has the highest impact when the difference between the incoming angle and outgoing angle of the ball is 90 or 270 degrees, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player’s foot from a shot. The impact of this change scales from lowest to highest along these angles, where 0 degrees is the angle of the ball leaving the player’s foot from a shot:
0 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
180 degrees (lowest) to 90 degrees (highest).
180 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
0 degrees (lowest) to 270 degrees (highest).
– Reduced the likelihood that a goal kick that is being aimed near a receiving player will go into open space.
– In a goal kick situation, defending center backs will now be positioned closer together.
– In a goal kick situation, where the ball will be contested by both an attacking and defending player, the defending player will be more likely to move towards the landing location of the ball.
– The ball will now stay closer to the dribbling player when executing the Elastico skill move.
Addressed the following issues:
– When playing a match while locked to a player, during a corner kick situation, it was possible to knock the ball off of the corner kick spot by running towards the corner and pressing the D-Pad to execute a user controlled reaction.
– A situation where an attacking player was able to crash into the opponent’s keeper, while they are holding the ball, and knock them into the net resulting in an own goal. This situation would now result in a foul and the goal being disallowed.
Addressed the following issues:
– Viewing the Roles tab, in the Team Management screen, via the Pause Menu in a FUT Offline Mode, such as Squad Battles, will now show the impact of Chemistry on a player’s attributes.
– Viewing the Roles tab, in the Team Management screen, during the pre-match flow in all FUT modes, will now properly display player attributes.
– Sometimes players were able to add both a normal Player Item and a Concept Player Item for the same player to a Squad Building Challenge Squad, which would lead to an error message.
Addressed the following issues:
– The post-match progression meter in Pro Clubs was not always displaying a players Overall Rating or progression accurately. This was a visual issue only as the proper Overall Rating was being used in gameplay and was displayed correctly in the Pro Clubs HUB.

– Updated the 2D portraits for 26 players.

Made the following changes:
– EA have made some changes to reduce the effectiveness of defending by AI Teammates.
In order to make the shot blocking of a defender that is being controlled by an AI Teammate less effective, EA have reduced the distance that an AI Teammate defender will stretch to block a shot.
In order to make the tackling of a defender that is being controlled by an AI Teammate less effective, EA have reduced the distance that an AI Teammate defender will stretch when making a tackle.
An AI Teammate is any player on the pitch that is not being controlled by a human, or is not the CPU AI Controlled Player. AI Teammates exist in the following circumstances:
On a team with no human players; on a team with a human controlled player(s) that are not locked to specific players; on a team with a human player(s) that are locked to specific players, that also has CPU teammates.
AI Teammates do not exist in the following circumstances:
On a team with human players who are all locked to specific players.
– Increased the impact to fatigue of playing with defensive pressure.
This change will have the biggest impact to fatigue when playing with Constant Pressure enabled in your active Game Plan or when playing with Team Press active.
This change will have a reduced impact to fatigue when playing with Pressure On Heavy Touch or Pressure After Possession Loss enabled in your active Game Plan.
– To make a well-timed tackle more effective, EA have increased the tendency of the ball to travel further from the dribbler after the tackle, increasing the likelihood that the dribbler will lose possession of the ball.
– Reduced the number of first time passes that CPU AI Controlled players will make out of their defensive third of the pitch when playing on Legendary or Ultimate difficulty.
A refresher on what we mean by “CPU AI Controlled players”: 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 EA call the CPU AI-controlled player. A CPU AI-controlled player exists in the following circumstances:
On a team with no human players; on a team with human players who are all locked to specific players, that also has CPU teammates.
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.
Addressed the following issues:
– Sometimes when an attacking player is trying to move towards a loose ball close to the goal, they would slow down and be unable to get to the ball effectively.

Made the following changes:
– Adjustments to the effectiveness of first time finesse shots where the incoming ball is coming from behind the shooting player, between 135 and 225 degrees, where 0 degrees is the direction the player is facing.
These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, ball speed and ball spin.
The most significant impact will be seen when the incoming ball angle is 180 degrees, with scaling reduced impact being seen up to an incoming ball angle of 135 degrees and 225 degrees on either side of the player.
– Adjustments to the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player:
Increased the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from in front of the shooting player.
Reduced the impact of defensive pressure on a shooting player when it is coming from behind the shooting player.
– Reduced the likelihood that a shot which was correctly aimed into the net, and that was targeting a location near to the post, would miss the net in a shooting situation where the attacking player is under no defensive pressure and is not off balance.
– When dribbling, players were getting pushed off the ball too easily in situations where the defending player was approaching the attacking player from the side. The attacking player will now be slightly more effective at holding the defending player off.
The effect of this change will scale based on the strength of the attacking player, with stronger players seeing the greatest effect from this change.
– Some adjustments to the speed by which an attacking player, who has just lost the ball to a successful tackle, is able to recover the ball.
– A minor reduction to the acceleration of a player that has executed the Open Up Fake Shot skill move.
– When playing in an Online match, you will now be able to see the Timed Finishing indicators for your opponent.
This only applies to a shot that would generate a Very Early (red), Early (yellow) or Great (green) shot, it will not apply for Late (gray) shots, or any shot where the player didn’t attempt to use Timed Finishing.
Addressed the following issues:
– Sometimes, when trying to execute a low driven shot, the player was executing a chip shot instead.
– Improvements in situations where a player that was in a better position to win a header was losing it due to the other player warping in front of them.

– When performing a first time thigh trap, the player receiving the ball was slowing down too much after making the trap.
– Keepers were sometimes kicking the ball forward when moving towards it instead of picking it up.
– Keepers were rarely not diving to intercept the ball after a cross was made into the box and the ball was close to the keeper.
– Keepers were sometimes not reacting to a penalty kick that was shot directly at them or very near them.
– Keepers were sometimes hitting a powered up first time lob pass too soft and low, potentially resulting in the opposing team getting the ball.
– In a penalty kick situation during a match, if the player taking the penalty kick hit the post directly, without the keeper touching it, they were able to play the ball again before another player touched it.
User controlled players were able to push the keeper out of the way in a free kick situation.
Keepers are now more difficult to move.
If a keeper is moved, they will now attempt to return to their original position after being moved.
An offside will be called if an attacking player is interfering with the keeper during a free kick while in an offside position.
Defenders will no longer follow their mark into the goal and potentially cause interference with their keeper.
– In the rare instance where the ball was heading towards an open net, and the attacking user was pressing the Cancel controls, an offside attacking player would still try to attack the ball, causing an offside call and the goal being called back.
– Paul Pogba was performing the incorrect run up animation when taking a long free kick.
Made the following changes:
– EA have made changes to the Division Rivals pre-match flow in an effort to reduce the difficulty of some players finding a match.

– EA have made the following changes to Roles section of Dynamic Tactics within FUT:
When using the Auto-Assign Player Roles button, the impact of chemistry on a player’s attributes will now be taken into consideration when assigning players.
When attributes are being displayed on this screen, the impact of chemistry on those attributes will also be shown when viewing this screen in the FUT Squad screen.
We have hidden the attributes being displayed on this screen when it is accessed during the pre-match flow in all FUT modes due to an issue that we are working to resolve in a future title update when available.
When viewing this screen in the Team Management screen via the Pause Menu in a FUT Offline Mode, such as FUT Squad Battles, the attributes will still be showing their values without the impact of chemistry, something we are working to resolve in a future title update when available.
Addressed the following issues:
– Stability issue in FUT Friendly Seasons if your opponent backs out of the pre-match flow while on the Kit Select screen.

Made the following changes:
– You can now make changes to your Game Plans in the Pause Menu during a match.
Changes made to your Game Plans during a match will not be saved after completion of that match.
– Swapping players in the Pause Menu during a match, while on the Balanced Game Plan, will now apply those changes to the other Game Plans.
This only applies if you make the changes to the Balanced Game Plan, changes made in the Pause Menu during a match to the other Game Plans will be localized to only those Game Plans and would need to be made manually in the others.
Given the above, if making a change to your team due to a red card, for example, make sure that the change is being made to the Balanced Game Plan.
In situations where the formations being used in your non-Balanced Game Plans are significantly different than those in your Balanced Game Plans, the swaps may not happen automatically.
For example, if you are playing with a formation, on your Balanced Game Plan, that has a Left Back, and swap a Striker into the Left Back spot, and then change to a Game Plan where there is no Left Back, such as a three at the back formation, the swap may not be made automatically.
Addressed the following issues:
– The following issues were addressed for volleys where the player fully leaves the ground during the kick, such as a bicycle kick.
Some players were incorrectly taking these kicks without meeting the Agility attribute requirements to do these kicks contextually.
To further explain the above, these types of kicks can happen, in appropriate situations, for players who have an Agility attribute of 80 or higher, or who have the Flair Trait, without the player having to hold down the ‘Flair Shot’ button.
These kicks were happening in unrealistic situations, such as when the kicking player was bunched up with other players.
Sometimes the animations for these kicks were happening too fast for some players with higher Agility attributes.
These kicks are now more likely to be impacted by error resulting in potentially less accuracy, speed and spin.
The above effect will be more noticeable in situations where executing one of these kicks would be very hard, and less noticeable in situations where executing one of these kicks would be easier.
– Rarely, keepers were not picking up the ball when it was close to them.
– Rarely, keepers were trapping the ball outside of the box, despite an attacking player being near them, instead of clearing the ball.
– Rarely, when the keeper was rushing out of the net, you were unable to take control of him using the ‘Move Keeper’ controls.
– Rarely, after positioning your keeper with ‘Move Keeper’ controls, the keeper would dive out of the way of the incoming shot.
– Rarely, keepers were not picking up the ball after knocking it down with a tip down save.
– When playing in a mode with two human controlled players on a team, such as in Pro Clubs or Co-op Seasons, the opponent’s defenders were not responding to an attacker running behind the defensive line during a goal kick.

– Players will no longer wait to take a throw in due to a keeper being out of position.
Made the following changes:

You will still be able to see your opponent’s online ID if you use the ‘List Members’ button, which we are working to remove in a future title update when available.

CAREER MODE

EA Sports ha rilasciato un nuovo Aggiornamento di Fifa 19. La patch, già disponibile dal 06 dicembre per la versione PC, è arrivata martedì 11 dicembre anche su Xbox One e Ps4
Ecco di seguito le note di rilascio con tutte le novità!
L’ultimo aggiornamento di FIFA 19 è adesso disponibile su PC ed è in arrivo su console (La prossima settimana, ndr)
Apportate le seguenti modifiche:
- Modificata l’efficacia dei tiri di precisione al volo in cui la velocità laterale della palla è molto alta. Abbiamo aumentato la probabilità di sbagliare queste conclusioni per ridurne precisioni, potenza ed effetto. Abbiamo anche ridotto l’effetto dell’attributo finalizzazione nel limitare la possibilità di sbagliare queste conclusioni La velocità laterale della palla, in questo caso, è la differenza in gradi tra l’angolo di arrivo del pallone rispetto al giocatore, confrontato con l’angolo di uscita del piede del giocatore durante il tiro L’angolo di uscita non è il il bersaglio del tiro, ma l’angolo con cui il pallone si allontana dal piede del giocatore
- Le principali conseguenze di quanto appena detto si notano quando la differenza fra l’angolo di arrivo e quello di uscita del pallone è di 90 o di 270 gradi, dove 0 gradi è l’angolo in cui la palla si allontana dal piede durante il tiro. L’impatto di questa modifica passa dal più basso al più alto con queste angolazioni, dove 0 gradi è l’angolo in cui la palla si allontana dal piede durante il tiro:
- Da 0 gradi (più basso) a 90 gradi (più alto) Da 180 gradi (più basso) a 90 gradi (più alto) Da 180 gradi (più basso) a 270 gradi (più alto) Da 0 gradi (più basso) a 270 gradi (più alto)
PRIMA DELLA PATCH
- Ridotte le probabilità che una rimessa dal fondo giocata verso un giocatore non raggiunga il bersaglio Durante le rimesse dal fono i difensori centrali sono più vicini fra loro Durante le rimesse dal fondo, quando una palla è contesa da un difensore ed un attaccante abbiamo aumentato le probabilità che il difensore raggiunga il punto d’impatto del pallone La palla ora resterà più incollata al piede del giocatore durante la mossa di abilità elastico.
Risolti i seguenti problemi
- Nelle partite in cui l’utente controlla un solo giocatore, durante i calci d’angolo, era possibile spostare la palla dal punto di battuta correndo verso l’angolo e premendo la croce direzionale per eseguire una reazione dell’utente Una situazione che permetteva all’attaccante di travolgere il portiere avversario in possesso della palla, facendolo cadere in porta e provocando un autogol Ora nella medesima situazione viene fischiato il fallo
Risolti i seguenti problemi
- Visualizzando la scheda dei Ruoli nella schermata gestione squadra all’interno del menù di pausa durante una modalità FUT offline, come Squad Battles, viene ora mostrato l’impatto dell’intesa sugli attributi del giocatore Visualizzando la scheda dei ruoli nella schermata gestione squadra, prima della partita in tutte le modalità di FUT, vengono ora mostrati correttamente gli attributi del giocatore A volte gli utenti potevano aggiungere sia un oggetto sperimentale che uno normale per lo stesso calciatore in una SBC, facendo apparire un messaggio di errore
Modalità Online
