Addressed the following issues:

• The power bar for Set Piece Kicks in an Online Match was sometimes incorrectly going to 100% when the player had requested less power.

We have published a pitch notes article that covers Traits in FIFA 19, check it out here https://www.easports.com/fifa/pitch-notes.

Addressed the following issues:

• Some Traits that no longer had any functionality in gameplay were still displaying in the Front End.
• Some Traits that did have functionality in gameplay were not displaying in the Front End.
• Added (CPU AI Only) to the names of Traits that only have an effect on players when they are controlled by the CPU AI.
  • A refresher on what we mean by “CPU AI”.
    • The CPU plays the game as you would, limited by the same input restrictions that a human player has.
    • This means that the CPU team has an active player, just like you do, which we call the CPU AI-controlled player.
    • A CPU AI-controlled player exists in the following circumstances:
      • On a team with no human players.
        • For example, the CPU-controlled team in Squad Battles.
      • On a team with human players who are all locked to specific players, that also has CPU teammates.
        • For example, a Pro Clubs team, with less than 11 human players, with no “ANY” player.
    • A CPU AI-controlled player does not exist in the following circumstances:
      • On a team with human players who are not locked to specific players.
        • For example, a team in FUT Champions.
