    I´m actually surprised about the fact, that I need to defend an EA game after that disasterous Battlefield 5 BETA. So, let´s start it shall we?

It´s not perfect, yes, but it´s gameplay actually really fluid, the players have fast reactions and the movement doesn´t feel as sluggish as it felt in the 18th for me. YES, it is not totally realistic, but I´am actually loving this game, because the gameplay is FUN. I tried PES 2019 too, and I know it has a more REALISTIC gameplay then FIFA 19. But I like football games much better the "FIFA way", and still I appreciate sometimes to go for few PES "style" matches...because by it´s way is really good too. That is actually really good for us, because we have TWO options to pick. First, which tries to be as realistic as it can ( PES 2019 ) and the Second, which is less realistic ( FIFA 19 ), but has a story mode ( which is cheesy a little bit, but still appreciated ), a lot of game modes which are actually fun ( House of rules ) if you don´t want to play a serious match just want to have some fun with your friends...and as I told I actually love the base gameplay too. So that´s all folks. Please don´t want FIFA to become PES. I don´t think so, that we want to have 2 exactly same football games from two different companies. Just switch...you have the option.

    Lets not beat around the bush. It's the same game with better graphics. If that is enough for you once again for the third year in a row to splash out £50 on the same game with updated squads, this is for you.

    Is it the same game as before? No. Is it a better game? No.

    For a lot of time EA sold each and every game independently, and fans had to buy the same game with minor adjustments and changes to the team rosters.

    For a lot of time EA sold each and every game independently, and fans had to buy the same game with minor adjustments and changes to the team rosters. Now we have Origin Access and Origin Access Premier and games are being added to the vault as part of a Software as a Service deal.

    The old FIFAs were made for people who were willing to spend more for a single game every year than we pay for all new EA releases. Right now they are made for the people who feel they might try FIFA, they might try NFS, they might try Madden NFL, they might try Anthem but they aren't diehard fans of the sport.

    There are plenty of ways to adjust difficulty, and even absolute newbies can win matches at low enough difficulty and make progress in Career mode. That is good, and the Journey can be an interesting addition to the game.

    But for this kind of market the game would need far more in game help, far better manual. Because this time people who are gamers but don't know much about soccer might pick up. People who love manager / tycoon games might pick up this game for "manager mode". And we might be underwhelmed by amount of choices we have.

    Girls might pick up this game, just to try it. And they might find it annoying that you can't have a female manager, can't manage a female team, and can't have a career women's soccer.

    The commentary is repetitive and annoying. Handling on keyboard + mouse is bad. And what is even worse: The game has no useful in game help and no useful in game manuals. People who have Origin Access or Origin Access Premier and might try something new and install FIFA for this reason won't know the difference between ST and CF without any kind of help (and tooltips, etc) explaining it.

    Without this it is like a half finished, early access, indie game with slowdowns due to unwanted AAA graphics.

    EA tries to monetize the game too much with FUT, but that is a game mode most of the new players will ignore and most of the returning players hate already and it adds to lootbox controversy around all EA games.

    If they want more income: It would be nice if EA would let clubs, etc. to sell merchandise (real merchandise) in an in game store and there would be exclusive items for FIFA players. Like "team jerseys for your own FIFA player", etc.

    It would be nice if there would be a game mode where you can take the role of a "wannabe tycoon" who decides to invest money into the sport, etc. to show other sides of soccer and serve a wider audience.

    Spending money on better graphics and more (repetitive and annoying commentary) while people complain about gameplay is bad. Also seeing the match as a TV broadcast breaks the immersion. If you are a manager or player you would see it differently.    … Expand

    I've been playing this most of the day because I got myself a month's subscription to Origin Access Premier, just to see what this was like, to give it a real try before I buy. And let me tell you, I've never been more underwhelmed. In summary, don't buy this game if you have 17 or 18. I know you deserve so much better than this recycled experience, and in your heart, you know it too.I've been playing this most of the day because I got myself a month's subscription to Origin Access Premier, just to see what this was like, to give it a real try before I buy.

I know you deserve so much better than this recycled experience, and in your heart, you know it too.

    How does it compare to FIFA 18? Well, it's got better graphics, a couple of gameplay adjustments and UEFA Champions League. It's got an all new commentary team, but that's just for the Champions League. You'll still have Martin Tyler and Alan Smith trotting out exactly the same lines they have for the past 7 years in the majority of games - you're too young to remember this Alan, but goal posts used to be square instead of round. Really Martin, I didn't know that, it's not like I haven't seen three shots go in off the post in this game alone and you've said that every time. You're welcome Alan, why don't you try a generic statement about a player. Oh, if it had gone between the posts it would have been a goal. Alright, final whistle, goodbye from 2011.

    Remember everything that frustrates you and annoys you about FIFA 18? Well, it's all in FIFA 19! The controls are just as unresponsive and inconsistent as FIFA 18. It's got inconsistent AI all round, defenders that can outpace your fastest wingers and wingers that still outpace all your defenders and the AI can still go from 0-60 in a microsecond while you're stuck with lead in your boots. They'll be able to walk it in while your players refuse to respond, and if you do tackle it'll probably be a foul. Your AI teammates will lunge at the opposition in the box without prompting, giving away penalties. Your players controlled by you will happily walk right through the ball at the opposition's feet. Big guys get muscled off the ball by, oh, just about everyone. Your players will definitely fail to auto-intercept the ball, even when the opposition fires it straight through them. And the opposition will definitely intercept the many passes of yours that go nowhere they’re told. No, not every game - just every third game or so it'll make it feel like you're not part of the game at all.

    There's a whole bunch of discussions happened around how FIFA games have been scripted, and EA have denied it. I believe EA: the games aren't scripted, but the AI difficulty is abysmal and entirely arbitrary. A while ago EA said that FIFA was realistic and so there was a random element to everything you did. That randomness apparently extends to everything: ball control, refs, all the AI. Of course, except for about one game in three, and then suddenly you’re a passenger. You may as well just put down the controller and admire it: at regular points in those matches the game will do what rarely happens in real life professional football and walk the ball through the middle of your defence and distinctly unrealistic speeds. And I'm not saying that doesn't happen in real life. But for a game that's apparently striving for realism, it happens a lot compared to real life. And it happens at the same points - say, when you're about to win a FUT division title. Coincidence? I don't know.

    It's not all bad. Being absolutely honest, the moments when you can fox the AI that's been running rings around you by 20-30 buildup passes, breaking down their defence and slotting in a perfect cross are great. And I was enjoying a lot of it. But the game also recognises - and the commentators will mention - when you're deliberately holding up play. And if you do get tripped up, or your pass goes in the wrong direction for no reason, the reason you're doing it will become painfully clear. Because as soon as you lose possession, the game will punish you.

    FIFA 19 barely looks better than the others and plays almost exactly the same. FIFA has been stagnant for a while, and only impresses the terminally credulous, who look to hand over as much real cash as they can for FIFA Points. But this is the first time in a long time I feel like the series has demonstrated how stagnated its developers are: more interested in modelling faces we can barely see for the majority of the game than making it a good game. The new timed shot is a step in the right direction, but for yet another year of yet another AAA priced game with yet more microtransactions, and losing all that progress, it's not enough. It's one thing that could go some way to making player mistakes more about skill than just saying that "random is reality".

    When it comes down to it, football fans pay a lot for football products. Not only going to the games, but getting merchandise, and paying for TV. We pay other people good money to show us reality, to show us dodgy decisions, to show us things that happen randomly on the pitch. No one wants this random stuff thrown into a game world - where we'd rather rely on our own actions than std::srand().    … Expand

    The physics update is pretty good, but it appears that once again, the creators of FIFA have completely ignored what fans of the game actually want. Instead, they keep catering to their need to sell FUT points. When will they fix or develop the career modes, for example?

    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.

    A questo bisogna aggiungere tutte già ampiamente criticate modalità, con un Ultimate Team che spreme fino all'ultimo centesimo i giocatori con meccaniche da gioco d'azzardo, partite scriptate, modalità senza giocatori e una carriera misera che smette di coinvolgere dopo poche ore.

    Su PC il gioco si risolleva grazie alle mod, che non influenzano l'online ma permettono di migliorare l'atmosfera degli stadi (inserendo le licenze mancanti e migliorando maglie e striscioni), l'equilibro della modalità carriera e anche il gameplay (cosa che un po' si può fare anche agendo sui settaggi interni al gioco).

    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]
