With the end of the Summer Transfer Window insight for many Premier League clubs, there’s going to be a lot of big footy stories coming in the next 24hours.
And this week also saw a new FIFA 19 update released by EA Sports, although this doesn’t appear to have much to do with all the recent transfers.
There’s a good chance that in the near future, EA Sports will release a big Squad Update to make sure all the players are in the right teams.
However, this week’s FIFA 19 update 1.77 is more focused on fixing bug problems in FUT and other areas of the game.
We haven’t got the full list of patch notes yet but an early copy runs down some of the more technical changes made this week.
As confirmed above, this new FIFA 19 update is available to download now on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as PC.
The patch notes reveal that Multiple technical changes focused on Gameplay Responsiveness have been implemented.
The update notes don’t go into much detail on this topic, suggesting that another announcement will be made by EA Sports in the future.

It won’t be long before FIFA 19 is replaced by the next instalment in the franchise, FIFA 20. EA Sports has confirmed that this title will be launching on September 27, 2019, on all major platforms.
Plenty of new features have already been announced for the new game, including major tweaks to Career Mode.
EA Sports has announced that FIFA 20 will feature new Press Conferences and Player Conversations, which will add a new dimension to the overall management system.
“Our vision was to breathe new life into the Manager Career experience by leveraging the huge amounts of data that playing this mode generates, and build a variation of ever-changing stories that would surface to our players through Pre and Post-Match Press Conferences and Player Conversations.
“These are not just general storylines that we put together to mimic authenticity. These are stories built based on player progress which each player will be able to interact with and influence the morale of the team and their standing as the team’s manager.
“The new tools developed in-house by the Career Mode team enabled our producers and designers to leverage this large amount of data and create enormous variations of story-lines that are deeply rooted in the player’s experience and your way of playing.
“This means that the experience of each match will be treated differently by the ‘journalists’ and will always feel authentic and dynamic, depending highly on the outcome, goals scored, opponent, time of season or stage of competition, and more.”
