FIFA 20 update 14 patch notes: More changes to Overload Ball Side tactic

EA SPORTS have dropped Title Update #14 for FIFA 20, with the emphasis of the new changes being placed on the Overload Ball Side tactic.

Though the footballing world has ground to a stop due to the ongoing global health pandemic, EA SPORTS have continued updating FIFA in a number of different ways. 

The usual Team of the Week has made way for Team of the Week Moments, and the developers have still got patches up their sleeve. The newest patch, Title Update #14 went live for PC players on March 31, so let’s take a look at what has been changed by the developers.

FIFA is still being updated even though there is no football being played.

The highlight change coming in Title Update #14 are the further nerfs to the Overload Ball Side tactic. As anyone who has played FUT Champions Weekend League will know, OBS is one of the most common and infuriating tactics that you will run into.

EA first made a tweak to the D-Pad tactic back in Title Update #12, increasing the impact that using the tactic would have on stamina. As that hasn’t seemed to do the trick, they’ve again increased the impact on stamina in Title Update #14.

FIFA stars will see their stamina affected by the new patch.

In addition to that, players who use the Team Press tactic will also notice that their players can now last a little longer as EA have decreased the impact on stamina that the tactic has. According to the developers, this should now be back to their pre-Title Update 12 levels.
