FIFA 19 title update 4 is currently being rolled out for all PC players (as of Tuesday, November 20, 2018), and will arrive on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 very soon! FIFA 19 Update 4 | Constant Pressure Stamina Nerfed Before & After (80th Min) Since FIFA 19\u2019s release, a large number of users have complained about AI defending mechanics being overpowered, particularly in the FUT Champions Weekend League. As a result of this fourth FIFA patch update, the effectiveness of AI shot blocking and AI tackling ability has been nerfed. Not only this, constant pressure will now result in a greater reduction of stamina. Well-timed tackles will also result in the ball moving further away from the player in possession.
