Regardless of the actual changes I want to say thank you for the effort you finally put in in giving detailed and well written patch notes plus the even more detailed pitch notes. Keep it up!

nn92

Thanks for the effort guys, really. But we all know you have tons of scans made. and many players are outdated for many years now, check for Aguero for instance, You must have the photos you scan the Premier League every year! Plus many la liga faces are missing. Just check that out.

mutsdog

Zaha, Bellerin and many more with significant hairstyles still seem to have their 2016 images.

Also with regards to Div Rivals can you please address the loss given if someone happens to leave the game early while winning. Example, I was 1-0 after 15 mins, my opponent leaves the game yet the post match graphic says Rivals loss and decrease of skill points.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADDRESS THIS

Msimson

As much as I love the game I'm getting rather annoyed at the fact that, when I'm playing FUT I play in a 41212 formation, when I'm playing the game and I switch to either attack or all out attack it swaps my formation to 442 and changes where my midfielders are please address this issue as it really I irritating, other than that I cannot complain about the game play

MOES98

Still only 4 saveslots and none of the many bugs in career mode (like created players disappearing after the first season, like seriously why the f**k is this not fixed). Nice job.

mihain247

Now I do not want to play the game anymore, until these fixes are in. That bad the game is.

Fixes to AI defending should be next.
1. The fact that the AI will tackle dribblers that are preoccupied by a human defender needs to go.
2. AI containing needs to be nerfed to incentivize manual defending. At the moment AI track and contain much more effeciently than the average human.

agentxyz2

I believe tackling in general is too assisted compared to dribbling which has very little assistance, of which usually forces detrimental aninations on dribblers. but that is a 2nd priority.

@EA_Andy
Cardiff, Fulham and Wolves are still missing key starhead players. (Cardiff/Fulham managers in, yet Wolves' Nuno isn't???)

Are the rest coming in the next patch? Surely more players were scanned?
Would love a response so I can filter this back to the fans who might start getting upset

While I can't answer this question directly (I don't personally know the answer), as FIFA moves more and more into Live Service mode, you can expect that things that normally would have come in a single title update a few years ago (such as the 'StarHead' patch) may come in smaller chunks now as we are doing much more frequent releases.

Can you share more details about the created players issue you are describing?

BallerMan

Can it be made where you get fouls given against you in career mode for a future update please?

Thanks

@EA_Andy Thanks for the update, this was much needed and great fixes too!
However, EA needs to tone down long finesse shot a bit further. It's still overpowered and people are abusing it.
First time finesse shot should be like timed finishing. Also reduce the accuracy as well when taken from distance. It looks pretty unrealistic even at Coutinho, Martial's standard. Surprised to see only 135-225 angles are affected but not for 90 to 270 degree.

Also fix the tackling as well. After successful tackle, the defender often doesn't get the ball.

Career mode saves slot increase???

CrStB

Worst update ever! My team is totally different! It is unrecognizable! Same instructions, same players...it is unbelievable! And I haven't forgotten how to play the game over night . It took me a while till I found proper instructions so that it could be fit for the players I have. But surprise surprise- an awful update. And what is ironical- kick- off glitch, cheaters- ARE STILL THERE! Very disappointed!

@DoonansNDragons are you (EA) going to fix the tackling? After successful tackle, the ball often goes back to opponent.

eladlad

Why can't you sort out the problem that the GK can't pass the ball on the ground with his hands. Even if you tap the pass button he will throw it high in the air.
Found out it only happens with manual passing. EA please fix it.

rolhe09

Seem like good changes but the problem right now is the dedicated servers. I really dont like that you cant play the game in the evenings because of delay and bad connection. Why not use P2P connection?

When you're creating a player in the "create a player" hub in the menus, and wants to use him in your Career mode, he will disappear in the second season.

CharlieLaw11

Need to prioritise players game faces who don’t have one, not updating ones who already have one. Like Jorginho, Leno, Fred, Lucas Torreria.

mini_b_2

Ryan Sessegnon is huge one missing... Jordan Henderson has only ever had one scan and that was before he was voted the face of fifa a few years back, his hair needs updating.

Dont understand why you cant edit players positions to LW or RW, Silly they have to be LM or RM.

Dont understand why we have to wait until mid November for this update as well, it should come out with the game

Srecko57

Hey, any chance of Red Star Belgrade being patched into the game? Can a developer let me know? Thanks

FIFA is a scam and disappointment year after year. I'm not even going to complain or give feedback anymore, since UT is the only thing that matters. I'm just going to stop buying this game.

Does that mean FIFA will become a subscription at some point?

You fixed half of the nonames faces in the Premier League, but Axel Witsel of Borussia still play with a square face. For a second, the main player of the national team, which occupies the first place in the FIFA ranking. First f#cking place in the FIFA ranking, you must have not heard about this, because your game is called "FIFA 19". Nice job, Jerks.

@EA_Andy

Love the fact we finally get detailed patch updates and more ability to discuss as a community. But I can't work out why some starheads have been done and others haven't. For example, I don't understand why Steven Sessegnon has got a scan but Ryan Sessegnon hasn't. More to the point how hasn't James Maddison and Lucas Torreira got real faces yet? Seems mental to me

boomstrong77

@EA_Andy @DoonansNDragons

Hello! Why can't the top stars of the EPL get good faces for several years in a row? I buy the game every year. but for several years now you cannot fix the faces of the best players of the league. I buy the game and wait all year round for you to correct the faces, but this does not happen for several years in a row. Look at Aguero, Kyle Walker, Lukaku, De Gea. This is ridiculous! This is the best league in the world and its main stars! The guys who appeared in the league this summer were left without faces. Jorginho, Ryan Sessegnon, Fabinho, Fred, Torreia, James Maddison? Do you really fix only those players who ask for it personally? Wilfried Zaha, Lingard. It happens every year. Guys, please answer me and explain what's the matter. I am a fan of your game, but even I am tired of silence. This is the league which is the main one in your game. Need to fix a few faces. These are big football stars. We buy the game from year to year, we believe you should not turn a blind eye to their fans. We trust you and still love you. Please do not leave my review without attention. We ask for a minimum of corrections. Hear us please. #RIPFIFA 2004-2014

claudio_poderoso

Good morning EA SPORTS staff, first of all I would like to thank you for the beautiful work that you have been doing over the years, my complaint regarding the GAME FIFA 2019 is in relation to not saving the new system of dynamic tactics of the game (Example: the player is competing in a match, be it online, career mode and / or FUT, and decides to modify it to another tactic, after modifying it and saving it, the player resumes the game, but the tactic remains the same, as if no modification had been made).
If you can solve this problem in a possible next update thank you right now, for me and for thousands of other players, remembering that my game platform is PC and I do not know if other platforms are presenting this same problem, thanks for the attention.
