The new patch 1.05 for FIFA 19 has now been released for Xbox One and PS4 after being available for PC last week. The new update primarily focuses on defensive duel behavior and some bug fixes. We summarize the patch notes.
After PC players got to enjoy patch 1.05 a week earlier, it was now the turn of PS4 and Xbox One on November 27.
Patch 1.05 revised the defensive duel behavior of players in certain situations and mainly offers bug fixes otherwise.
The update is sizable: The download size is 1.6 GB on both platforms.
Patch 1.05 revises AI behavior of your defense
This is changing for your defense: Patch 1.05 revises the effectiveness of blocking by your AI teammates. AI defenders no longer stretch out as long to block shots from your opponents. The tackling strength of your AI teammates has also been reduced, and their tackles have a shorter range.

What are AI teammates? These are any players on the field who are not actively controlled by a player or computer opponent. AI teammates are active in almost all modes, except in the Pro Clubs mode, where they are absent if the team consists of 11 human players.
This is how the patch revises two of the toughest difficulty levels: The behavior of CPU-controlled players has been adjusted for the Legend and Ultimate difficulty levels. The number of direct passes from the defense has been revised; the CPU player is now supposed to behave more “human.”
What are CPU players? They are subject to the same input restrictions as players. The CPU has an actively selected footballer during the games. CPU players are active in any team that does not have a human player controlling them.

These further changes come with patch 1.05:
- Fatigue negatively affects players for whom “Constant Pressure” is selected in the active strategy or if “Team Pressing” is activated
- Players lose the ball more easily after a tackle, as it can bounce back further. This is intended to make well-timed tackling attacks more useful
- The matchmaking of Division Rivals in FUT has been adjusted, and the voice chat has been disabled
- In addition, there are various bug fixes for the kickoff and online modes, as well as performance adjustments
- Another 18 player star heads have been added, featuring more realistic faces of FIFA players
- 2440 player images have been revised
