FIFA 19: New Patch Nerfs AI Defending And Satisfies Players' Needs

EA has launched a patch for FIFA 19 that insert into the game perhaps the most desired nerf from the community.

The title update decreases the effectiveness of defending by AI teammates. As most FIFA players reach an agreement on propelling the computer into the dirty work of defending is much more effective than getting stuck in yourself, this update is widely welcome and praised by players. Also, this update will be a huge help to suppress and defeat stubborn computer-controlled teams in the likes of Squad Battles.

After Title Update

Here's what the patch works: The core of this update is partially whittling down the motor functions of AI teammates. The shot blocking of a defender that's being controlled by an AI teammate is less effective as EA has decreased the distance an  AI teammate defender will stretch to block a shot. Likewise, EA has nerfed AI teammate tacking by reducing the distance they'll stretch when making a tackle.

The interesting part is: the patch increases the impact to fatigue of playing with defensive pressure. This change will have the biggest impact on fatigue, EA said, when playing with Constant Pressure enabled in your active Game Plan or when playing with Team Press active. Since these are two of the most common strategies adopted online, the update should shake up the Ultimate Team meta.

The patch also upgrades a well-timed tackle in the game, stimulating players to defend by hand. It increases the tendency of the ball to travel further from the dribbler after the tackle, increasing the probability the dribbler will lose possession of the ball. Generally speaking, it's delightful and inspiring news to hear about - issuing a tackle to get the ball in the past and always winding up with nothing but deep frustration as the opponent's attacker retains the possession after the tackle - and now, the situation will be amended and more acceptable.

Here's another interesting one: the patch reduces the number of first-time passes CPU AI controlled players will make out of their defensive third of the pitch when playing on Legendary or Ultimate difficulty. This is a significant nerf to the difficulty of playing against the computer at these difficulty levels, and should make it easier to get the ball after losing possession in, for example, Squad Battles.

FIFA 19 has had a rough time of it lately, with some Ultimate Team errors cropping up last week. And over the weekend, connection issues prevented many from playing the game. Things got so bad; EA was forced to extend the Weekend League by a day.

But this new patch is going down well. Players over on the FIFA subreddit are praising EA for addressing perhaps the biggest gameplay issue with FIFA 19, and are looking forward to getting stuck in with the new defending. I am, too!

One last thing: the patch addresses the following issue:

"Sometimes the crowd would be seen waving a large linesman's flag instead of a team flag."

MapleStory 2: Why Does Nexon Try To Exclude Itself From Being Endearing?

As it launched the first expansion called Skybound and inaugurate another battlefield hovering over the sky, MapleStory 2, the sequel of widely praised MapleStory, was announcing and celebrating its two-month-release gala with the Maplers that have been supporting and caring for the game. It's not been so smooth on the path of running MapleStory 2 as Nexon expected since its premiere on October 10. Compared to its predecessor MapleStory as a worldwide megahit back in the 2000s, MapleStory 2 is now confronting the ever-decreasing concurrent players, as well as loss of tremendous nostalgic fanbase. Admittedly, MapleStory 2 had a good run in the very beginning though as its highlights and creativity were rapidly strangled with several chronic diseases sprawling all over the game afterward, such as Meso seller, UGC theft, the absurd level of RNG and correlative complaints... The game now has so many calamities to be dealt with that even if some new contents with intentionally headline...
