FIFA 19 nerfs bicycle kicks in first patch since release

EA Sports promised that it wouldn’t release any major patches until FIFA 19 had been out for a while but now a month after release, the game received an update earlier this week on the PC version and is due to come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ones soon.

One of the biggest changes coming in this patch is bicycle kicks, scissor kicks and other jumping volleys are going to become less common in the game. Currently on console, it feels like in the opposing areas forwards are more likely to attempt acrobatic finishes than headers and succeed in doing so.
