    Its a disaster. Scripts, scripts, scripts, scripts, scripts and nothing more. Eternal comeback scenario and game still using same scripts and engine from 2003 fifa. Ea talking about Frostbite, omegalul, and motion and movement still the same as its was in fifa 2009 but players models are more blurry (yeah, engine can in smoothing)

    I start playing FIFA since 1997 and this FIFA it's...pure garbage, it's a game that you want to give to someone you really hate it. This will be the perfect blow to his morale.

    Player control is the worst of the whole series (and I'm not talking about the ball control) feals like trying to control trucks disguised as human beeings and everything is scripted in their move. Many times
    I start playing FIFA since 1997 and this FIFA it's...pure garbage, it's a game that you want to give to someone you really hate it. This will be the perfect blow to his morale.

    Player control is the worst of the whole series (and I'm not talking about the ball control) feals like trying to control trucks disguised as human beeings and everything is scripted in their move. Many times they just keep doing their run to nowhere giving you the feeling they are like on some invisible tram tracks no matter if you keep pushing like crazy to stop, the script in their behavior is doing the job

    There is always like an invisible hand working for the Ai players in duels of 1 vs 1 that will drag your player, teleportating him from controlling the ball in the back of his Ai opponent. When you try to do the same, it's like fighting a bull

    Ai ball interception.
    On ultimate the Ai players have like an 360 range all around them to intercept the ball 99% they will succeed it
    if the balls goes in that range of 360 all around them, no matter if it's on the ground or in the air, could be in the ground, they will still intercept it while your players gonna give you that move "ooh, it just passed under me, couldn't do anything but let's keep trying, you keep pushing the buttons while i'm gonna pretend it didn't work only for you"

    Double player, don't do it, don't use it!
    The second players always come and ruin your other player work till that moment, many times will just collide with him preventing him to get the ball and this happened 99% of the time it's being used.
    And before the need to collide with his teammate, all the time he needs to go behind your player and your opponent no matter if he came from the front of them. This have nothing to do with a bug, a script or a misleading animation, this have something to do with the people who work at EA Canada, people with too many rights, with the right to get in love with a colleague of the same gender and then express that in a game, protected by ...nobody can really proof that, even if that stupid move it may happend in real football matches like 0,01% of a game and it's not the only place I saw it. When you prepare to throw from the line, you see your players who are in good positions, most of the time, like 50% of the time, suddenly they will change this by going behinde their opponents, agin this need To put a guy behind another guy and touching it like...c'mon "guys" it's just a game, go with your idiotic fantasy somewhere else. This disgusting me, bleah..

    If 2 players collide each other or an Ai player bump into you, 100% all the time the Refs decide against you

    The ball
    Works different for the Ai and you. There are cases when the ball it's in the air and you are much close to it then the Ai players and in that moment the ball feels like it's a balon and till an Ai player will be in the spot to fight for this ball, will barely came down. When the situation is reversed, the ball descends as if it were from stone.
    There are other cases when the ball is almost going out, but an Ai player is near by, so in that moment the ball is like having his own brakes, always somehow is waiting the AI player, but when you are close and desperately try to get it, the ball get some speed from nowhere just to touch, a bit the white line, a microscopic touch and bamm, the ball is out for you.

    Clean area
    Every time an Ai player who is with his back at my gate he surprisingly kick the ball with 100% accuracy to his forward players, all the time, every time

    Nano Microscopic offsides as always

    Referees sucks.
    They are there to be an physical obstacle only when you are in attack never against the Ai and if the Ai is doing a normal booking the Ref will give him a pet talk, but if you do less than that and the score on the table is in your favor, the Ref came like a storm in front of you with with lot of drama showing you the yellow card right away(only if he could had a gun in that moment, EA style of thinking) and if the score on the table is in your favor, well, from that moment you are being hunted by the Refs all the time.

    Extra time.
    Works grat for the Ai, never for you. When the ball is in the AI possession, the extra time keep going till the AI fulfilled his opportunity but when it's your turn, bang, game over right away. The refs will never stop an Ai attack, for this I throw out the ball 20 times and the refs never bother to stop the game, but he will stop you, no matter if you just got a second corner, it will always stop you. this doesn't feel fair.

    I won many games on ultimate vs Ai with scores like 9-1, 8-0, 13-1 vs big teams in the game in a 9 minutes game with Barcelona team vs Juve vs Arsenal..and sometimes using just a keyboard, this should tell ya how "great" is this game.

    And i'll tell you more in time, but till then my score is 1 for the effort

    FIFA has proven to be quite profitable for Electronic Arts. So profitable changes are meaningless not to ruin the goose of golden eggs. Even The Journey, an enjoyable experience has dropped in writing quality. I can't give more points to a game like this. Congratulations to the artists though, they are the only ones who have done an excellent work.

    They somehow manage to make FIFA worse and worse each year. Gameplay this year is terrible in my opinion. Who cares about Career and Hunter. FIFA will always be about Gameplay and its terrible.

    Lets start reviewing fifa 17.2 well what can i say, the in 3 years saw almost no changes gameplay wise, the real change(not a good one) is the timed shot that only makes the game even more arcade, the "IA" is not intelligent at all the players sometimes look like they have minor strokes, make stupid runs, penalties, owngoals, and soo on. Goalkeppers are only getting worst and worst, theLets start reviewing fifa 17.2 well what can i say, the in 3 years saw almost no changes gameplay wise, the real change(not a good one) is the timed shot that only makes the game even more arcade, the "IA" is not intelligent at all the players sometimes look like they have minor strokes, make stupid runs, penalties, owngoals, and soo on. Goalkeppers are only getting worst and worst, the referees are either yellow giving machines or dont give nothing at all and the game is heavily scripted u can get 25 shots 15 on target and lost 2-1 to guy that only shot twice on target.

    The CareerMode and the pro clubs got no updates other than the champions league skin in career mode.

    The Journey is pointless nothing else to add u doing the exact same thing for fking 3 years in a row.
    Ultimate team displays vague odds in packs soo you know how u re getting scammed by this billion dollar company.

    Wont buy this franchise again until they change the game engine!
    Totally not worth the 38€ i paid for it!

    Completamente ingiocabile.
    I difensori recuperano gli attaccanti in maniera completamente irrealistica poiché non é possibile andare piú veloci di un'altro giocatore. Anche se ti chiami Mbappe e hai 96 di accellerazione e velocitá scatto, verrai sempre recuperato da un Ranocchia qualsiasi con 35 di velocitá. Le AI guardano il pallone senza muoversi e si fanno anticipare dai difensori.

Le AI guardano il pallone senza muoversi e si fanno anticipare dai difensori. Online se non devi segnare non segni ed é chiaro come il gioco decida chi favorire con rimpalli e demenza delle AI. I portieri guardano il pallone passare sopra la loro testa senza fare nulla. Offline la differenza sembra essere ancora piú netta. A difficoltá leggenda praticamente ogni tiro delle AI é un goal. Le squadre piú deboli che d'improvviso diventano imbattibili e sembrano giocare con fenomenali top player. Il pubblico negli stadi di Serie A é suddiviso completamente a caso e non in modo realistico. Metá stadio sará occupata dai tifosi ospiti e metá dalla tifoseria di casa, anche se si gioca a San Siro, fc anzhi makhachkala (Campionato russo) contro Inter (Squadra di casa).
    I cori delle tifoserie italiane sono inesistenti. Durante il primo mese di gioco l'audio dei tifosi si sentiva in modo pessimo su differenti pc e differenti cuffie/casse. Solo dopo un mese é arrivato il fix. Interessanti le coreografie prepartita sugli spalti, ma sono pochissime e si continuano a ripetere. Quando si tira dalla distanza e si fa goal, la camera replay esegue sempre lo stesso movimento, fermando il tiro, cambiando tre angolazioni diverse, e riprendendo il replay. Le cinematiche prepartita non possono essere saltate.
    Questo é il peggior FIFA di sempre.

    I really only play manager career mode on this game. The game mode has been arguably the same for over a decade. The mix of realism and arcade is okay. And to be honest the game is really just an overpriced FIFA 18 update. It's really the graphics that made me change from my initial rating of 1.

    The most common game is something like:
    You: 27 shots

    9 corners
    68% possession

    IA: 2 shots

    2 corners
    32% possession
    2 goals
    And one game like this is okay, maybe two, even three, but every single game is the same, so it doesn't have any sense playing the game when you know what the result will be (it's even very easy to predict when the IA will score with many seconds of anticipation and there is nothing you can do to avoid it). And every single IA shot is the same, a perfect strike at 200 kph to the squad. (doesn´t matter if the player has 30 in shot power and 20 in finishing).
    In summary:
    The gameplay is the same of every year with 2 or 3 insignificant new things. Modes like career mode are just the same.
    Difficulty is unbalanced (IA plays really bad, but anyways it scores when it wants) and every game has a lot of goals (I've never seen a 0-0 or 1-0 game, there is always at least 2 or 3 goals, and usually more).
    The game feels like you aren't playing, you're just watching what the game already decided to do.

Read the comments - nothing to do with pes so stop deluding yourselves.

    From what I can see the game has been dumbed down to simpleton level and all you do now is mash buttons to advance the script. The AI does whatever the hell it wants and the collision detection / spacial coding is a shambles. I was going to buy this years iteration having not bought a fifa since 14. If only pes could compete but Konami continue to make the same daft game design decisions that prevent this. Looks like no footy game again for me this year, but at least I’m not 100 bucks out of pocket and my controllers not smashed to bits in frustration.

    Besides the advancements in story mode, some changes were made to core gameplay. It’s hard to say if they’re for better or worse, but the game definitely feels a bit different. Maybe that was the entire point, as you can’t just update team rosters of FIFA 18 and sell it as a new game. But tweak the balance a bit – and you’ve got FIFA 19. [Issue #233, p.53]
