Player movements are felt exactly in the seventh generation. The mood of the players' emotions has also improved. In the end, I must say that this game in the ground is something between a seventh generation and the eighth generation Feeling .We never saw a complete football game in the eighth generation. The eighth generation was the decline of football games. Another simulator game is dead. The other is gone to the online side and money to poke the companies. it's shamefull . Expand

    Major clear issues
    1. Finishing is a disaster is way far from reality. When close to the keeper its almost impossible to score. When being from the keeper, it's hard to score. If you try to get closer to the keeper, the 60pace defender will stop a 90 pace offensive player.

    2. Passing is very very slow. One touch quick passing is difficult. I need to press the pass button way before the ball reaches a players foot in order to execute a one touch pass. Many offensive quick plays are killed off because of a player taking so much time to pass. i.e. time to receive the ball , adjust the position and then pass, rather immediately executing a one touch pass.

    3. Reaction to any command button is very slow. Eg. A player will take a second to respond to a trick command making the defender always faster to steal the ball before the offense executes the trick . Eg. delayed response to one time passing as in point (2).

    4. Bicycle kicks. Overpowered, overexecuted, unrealistic.

    5. Fast Breaks: Even if the offensive player is all alone approaching the keeper, the defender is very much likely to catch him and kill off the chance...

    Overall,
    Apart from the major issues mentioned above, Fifa 19 is more realistic than Fifa 18 but less entertaining. Fifa 18 was addictive, was fun, kept my friends and myself on our toes focused and excited during the game. Fifa 19 is slow and unentertaining.
    While Fifa has been trying to make the game as realistic as possible, it needs to keep in mind that, at the end of the day, this is a video game. It can't replicate a 90minute game in a typical 12 min video game match.
    Making finishing very hard, making scoring and creating chances as well as other initiatives in the attempt to make the game more realistic, is killing the entertainment in the game
    This is a video game designed for entertainment.
    A division 1 player should clearly look better in gameplay than a division 4-5.
    In fifa 19, the gameplay is so tight and restricted that you can hardly distinguish a division 1 player from a division 5. Again, this kills entertainment and competition between fifa players.

    PS. Its known that FIFA players would hardly admit that another FIFA player is better than them. In FIFA 19, the game is limited in its offensive options and is almost impossible to come across as the better FIFA player than your friends

And i can't even blame EA anymore this has been the same story since 2012.

    Yes the game-play is potentially better than last year but it is so unbelievably unbalanced that i find it a chore to play, the ball feels like a rubber bouncing ball, everyone online is an excellent blocker of passes, shots and crosses and no FIFA 19 match is complete without a bicycle kick in the top corner.

    My friend found a "new tactic" to help him defend better, he explained he doesn't select the defenders.... sooo he doesn't defend the AI defends for him. I'm sorry but that cannot be the point of a competitive video game. I don't play FUT because i don't like pay to win games nor do i like companies that manipulate children to gamble.

    Career mode is like i said not touched since FIFA 2012 with exception of the board objectives that do not really do anything and transfer cut-scenes with the same 4 generic managers in every negotiation.
    Interaction with the FIFA Career World is basically 0. Haven't done a press conference since 2013 when they were the same as they are now and completely without impact on your team.
    Can only interact with players in the form of playing them in the team or not.

    Online seasons last year was basically Online Real Madrid seasons with 90% of the players playing with OP Madrid and this year PSG has taken their place.

    Momentum is more stormy then ever. When you get to a super dominant 2-0 lead your team will stop playing basically and if your opponent scores the 2-1 before the half time break they will win 2-3 most of the time.

    Goals from kick offs are back with a vengeance, EA said they took care of it in FIFA 18 but apparently they missed it and got it back.

    The graphics look better but we can expect that every year. CL and EL are very nice additions. The new kickoff and player stats system in kick off mode are perfect for keeping the score with friends and also a nice feature.

    Overall i have got give it a 4 because i still think they game has potential to have great game-play. ( if it gets more balanced over time). But the lack of new features and the super thin Career Mode, untouched Pro player/clubs and uninteresting The Journey make this years version a better not buy until it is balanced somewhere in march 2019.

    In the normal game the player that players better wins but in fifa 19 its exacly the opposite, the game makes your players play bad and the other team op. Doenst matter if u are winning 2 or 3 to 0 because u can tell if you are going to lose, u fell the difference. Also the physics are the worst ever.

    EA really need to stop neglecting other game modes other than Ultimate Team, especially in the single player mode (No, The Journey is not good enough).

    I've never been the one for Ultimate Team, which really has a negative effect on me as a FIFA player. This year I have finally lost my patience with EA and they need to stop giving games a paint job and slapping a new title on them.

Career mode has not changed at all, apart from some new UEFA graphics and small news videos it is identical.

    Player Career mode hasn't been updated in years, The Journey is simply not good enough. There is so many things from The Journey that could be implemented into Player Career mode, but EA choose to ignore it as it doesn't make them more money.

    Another popular game mode, Pro Clubs, fails yet again to see an update.

More like a randomizer. You shoot and if you are lucky the odds are in your favour.

    The main problem about this game is that 'fanboys' will buy it anyway. Every football fan buys Fifa regardless it's poor quality. That's the problem with this game. EA has no reason to change it what so ever since it's being bought by those people anyway. They make money regardless. Online packs and coins are a huge profit. One tip for those people, want a good game? Stop buying it and demand EA to change because as long as you keep buying it without thinking, they also don't care about it anymore.

    If you want to have a €60 laugh with friends on a friday night while drinking beer and rub wins in eachother faces, buy it. If you want a good game. Stop buying Fifa until EA cares about Fifa again and stops pooping out the same bad game every year.

    I've been playing fifa 19 for some months. The last fifa I played before was fifa 15. I don't play PES at all so my comments are all about fifa. I play mostly FUT, and I'm an average player.
    - I give them a 3 mostly for the excellent UI and Licences. It loads very fast and it's easy to navigate in the menus. Also Squad Tactics is a very good inclusion. Gives you the chance to setup your team easily. Now the things I don't like:
    - Robbery: This is what it is. I don't buy fifa coins, buy wasting 50.000 coins in a pack that at most has a value of 10.000 is a robbery. And EA does nothing to stop the coin selling black market. I've played against guys that have the game for a month, they play very bad with a squad with messi, ronaldo, etc. And every year you have to start all over and the old game got no updates at all. At least if the game is well made, but not.
    - High Pressure: This is a main killer for the game. I play a lot against players that the only thing they do is to play with High Pressure. Although you play Possesion its very hard to make passes without been marked. And it last all the 90 minutes with it. Passing with the goalkeeper equals losing the ball.
    - Corners: Almost all defended balls ends in corners. Boateng, Alaba sending the ball to corner every time no matter where they are. 5-6 corners in a row.
    - Goalkeepers: They NEVER grab the ball, no matter if the shot is from 200m. So the second attacker picks the rebound and goal. They are almost useless against first touch long finesse shots so that is mostly all the goals occur. Its very hard to do a long pass with them, they send the ball out or to the other team.
    - Defending: You will tackle the ball a lot of times, just for giving it back for the attacker and lose the balance. You will also cut passes just to give it to your opponent. No matter if you are Boateng, Messi can come and push and drop you! You can go in front of the ball and do nothing. You will make penalties without explanation. When playing with high pressure you will always tackle the ball from behind with no foul and if the ball goes out, you will have the possession.¿?
    - Attacking: No matter if you have a 50 shooting, you will always score a 30 m distance first time finesse shot. You can also score bicycle kicks and volleys from that distance but you will lose a lot of goals alone in front of the goal and many 1v1 situations.The attackers stop running when you are going to do the through pass¿? Players with over 80 shooting will shoot a lot out of the goal in very good positions.
    - Passing: This just doesn't work at all. I turned on the passing help but the computer keeps sending the pass to another player. This has been always one of the most frustrating issues in Fifa, but now is worst. This is really one terrible aspect of the game.
    - Stats, for what please? The only stats I see makes the difference are speed and dribbling, then scoring and below the goalkeepers. I've played against teams with Gabriel Jesus as CDM and he did very well. Mostly of the players can tackle and defend well. Passing is mostly the same. A bronce squad will play tici taca as well as Barcelona. Physical only exist in very big players. You will notice them although in very high ranking players.
    - Counter Attacks and quit the ball with high pressure. This are the most common ways of scoring. As passing is so wrong is easy to lose the ball giving it to another player, and you get a mortal counter. Also applying high pressure so you will lose the ball and leave the goalkeeper exposed.
    - When you play offline in high difficulties you will run all the time trying to pick the ball. The IA makes a lot off 1-1 fast passes with no logic. Not realistic nor fun at all. As a lot of people has said before, all teams play the same way.

    I really thought I have this issues because I'm not so good, but I saw a video of a high ranking fifa 19 youtuber complaining about the same issues. So, is not just me, its also the game.

    It's strange the high difference between the Critics Reviews and the Users Reviews. The game is clearly broken and has very good Critics evaluations. Makes you think if they are receiving something in return for those evaluations. Maybe Fifa Points!!

    In fact, the gameplay feels very scripted in this one. It has a sense of automation in the passes and shooting. It feels like Fifa has been regressing back to the pre-2010 release. It's like I'm playing Fifa 2005. I guess this arcade approach is meant for a broader appeal but it's very casual, and doesn't punish you for defending poorly.

    I have nothing to say about FUT or Journey because I never play those modes and never will. Career mode is the only important mode and it's sad that they have been abandoning it for years now.

    The best way I can describe Fifa 19 is that much like previous games, it is essentially Fifa 14 with better graphics and an updated roster. Imagine paying $60 for something like that whilst games like Red Dead Redemption 2 are the same price. Meanwhile game reviewers, like the shills they are still give Fifa games 8s and 9s so things are never going to changes until they start criticizing these games.

Pacing wise FUT is just a mess with people regularly scoring stupid goals, uncontrollable situations like your defending A.I. deciding to leave massive gaping holes in your defence resulting in you conceding.

    With patches coming somewhat regularly the game becomes even more unpredictable, it now looks as If Fifa/EA wish for the arcade FUT style to be brought forward onto the normal base game. Hate to say it, but this is arguably the worst state I have ever seen Fifa be in! Gameplay wise I really just don't get it, FUT is not fun the only fun factor I could perhaps take away from FUT is the grind of making a great team, but when you take gameplay into consideration its just awful there is no proper pacing the build up play is terrible.

    I would recommend the game If you're into a bit of a grind and like arcade sorts of football, but realistically most people buying Fifa will be buying it to have a somewhat realistic simulation of what a football game can be, but with the newest patch as of February 2019 I would completely tell you to avoid this game If you wish to have a good footballing experience when playing this game. If you wish to have a good game that gives you good build up play, decent AI, realistic sort of gameplay I'd tell you to get PES 2019 it is easily the best football simulator right now.

    Career mode is defunct, it is dead the devs have shown they don't care about it.
    Online divisions once were okay for a quick pick up and play, but now absolutely trashed down to the patch turning the whole game catering the FUT arcade style, same applies for Career mode, but there is nothing to do in career mode anyway.
    FUT same old cheap gambling simulator that turns 12yo's into the next line of gambling addicts, good ole EA.

    A couple of gameplay innovations, new animation movements, faces animation, slightly improved ball physics, licenses for uefa tournaments. But after 150 matches, fifa is still the same boring. Every next match is similar to the previous one. It is upsetting. The game is definitely not worth the money.

    I picked this up for under $10 in some bargain sales and I'm not sure it's even worth that.

Firstly, I am a career mode player, so anything related to FUT is irrelevant to me - I'm looking for a solid, engaging single player game, that's it. Fifa 19 delivers this is you've never bought Fifa before and this is your first football game - anyone who has even casually forayed into Career mode of past Fifa's will notice that it is exactly the same. Literally nothing has changed except some Champions League skins, not what I would class as a game play upgrade of any sort.

    Ignoring EA's wanton neglect of career mode and complete lack of effort to actually improve things we come to the game play itself which is, from my perspective, the worst it has been. There are a number of significant issues which I will touch on but first it should be mentioned Fifa's new systems. The 'timed' shooting is bad but multiple reasons - 1) it is very erratic at best but, when works, is ridiculously powerful to the point of stupid, in short the balance is terrible and it adds little to the actual game play. 2) this system has changed the button set-up so now low shots are a lot more fiddly to actually use. The word 'frustrating' comes to mind. There has also been a noticeable emphasis on fast, attacking players not being able to just cripple defences with their pace - in principle not an awful idea, reduce the effectiveness of pace to reflect a more realistic game - the execution, though, is abysmal. I had a 99 pace and accelaration Mbappe smoked by a defender with both attributes below 75. Instead of EA actually designing a cogent system which naturally reduces the effectiveness of pass they have simply nerfed attacks pace/over powered defenders recovery pace. That is it. A dreadful way of programming the game but not at all surprising. They've done similar with the AI's strength before so now, instead of a balanced game, you just have unrealistic representations of players and AI that makes every AI controlled player behave the same way. There is way too much to keep talking about but in short this is, from a career mode perspective, the worst current gen Fifa.

    Don't worry though! Fifa 20 is just around the corner with exciting new features like manager customization, performance related development, press conferences, etc. Honestly, if this what people are getting buzzed about then it shows just how bad Fifa has been in recent years that these sorts of changes excite player. Manager customization should've been sorted years ago, there is no excuse. I remember performance related development being in PES6! PES6!! This is hardly ground-breaking, again it should be the minimum expected but as it's Fifa. As for press conferences? Great, another addition to get bored and frustrated with after 5 minutes that takes away game play from the actual enjoyable stuff. Even those who love Football Manager and games of that ilk don't like press conferences and things - there's never enough dialogue to keep it fresh so all's it eventually becomes is added tedium. Honestly brace yourselves for more disappointment because whilst EA drip feeds the most minor of improvements you will be forking out serious cash for what is essentially the same game, again. Madness.

    Which leads me onto the argument of 'realism'. In my first game on FIFA 19 i saw a centre back execute an overhead kick. 10 minutes later another overhead kick by a striker. Next game, i concede another over head kick and I saw defenders and midfielders pull of an amazing array of skills which you wouldn't see in real life. FIFA 19 is FIFA Street on grass.

    Presentation and TV broadcast looks just like the real thing, you can't knock that, but to be honest it is the same as it has been since FIFA 14, just different things said by commentators and still looks great. Oh and there's FUT, the gambling game.

    If there was another football game who could afford all the licences that EA have then no one would even like FIFA, the masses continue to be blinded by the lights. (mostly children)

    Advice for easy improvements.

    - more customisable hairstyles
    -more commentary ( monthly patches)
    -Managerial perks/ talent tree...so every team plays different
    -update celebratsion...( jese lingard doesnt even do that celebration anymore)

    The game seems too random and anybody can win,ping ponged gameplay being the reason for it mainly online, AI still dumb, making players react faster doesnt mean they are smarter, defending seems clunky in some online games feel unreactive to anything even when the opposing players are moving slow
    Even though EA made always a good job on the content they add, they never actually made a good football game in this generation in my opinion.
    If you feel like you have no actual control over a game why would you be playin it right?
    Offline is playable but not fun anymore because they did nothing to give us a better career mode
    Overall what they did was give some additions like they timed shot and better animations, nothing more script still on and stronger than ever since FIFA 15.
    I recommend EA to put some work into the gameplay and career mode cause the online content is already perfect, FIFA 19 just shows that many people stopped buying copies because of FIFA 18.

Of the remaining there were 7 contracts (3 rare), CDM>CM, a manager card> MLS, and useless garbage. So, I played 8 hours and spent enough to buy an entire gold team that was better than all the players in the pack. Because of this I dropped my score from a 2 to a 1.

    I have played FIFA 14, 15, 16, 17, and now 19. I had about 45 hours in 14, 80-90 in each of 15,16,17, and 57 hours in 19. That is about 700 games total over 370 hours between all versions.. I never got 18 because the scripting was so severe that I never could beat a professional level game with a bronze team in FUT or Manager mode. In fact, in 14 and 15 I lost several games in the final few seconds of the match and had several tied as well. I absolutely hate that scripted final second goal. I just played my first game of the night on World class and was up 1-0. It said +2:00 and it was 92:30 when the ball reach mid field from my keeper's kick. 4 passes and a shot later it is 1-1 at 92:50 and the game ends. The next game I get scored on instantly and the computer scores regularly during the game with 4-5 goals just in the last 1/4 of the game.After taking a long break I go back and score my first goal to go down 2-1 at 88'. At 90' I lose the ball and the computer loops it over 4 defenders to a guy falling backwards that kicks a high looping shot that the goal keeper misses. seconds later my guy gets tackled on the kickoff and they shoot. I lose 4-1. Next game I lose 3-1 and never had a chance. The next game I had 0 shots on goal and at 92' at the dot in the opponents box I shoot and get stopped by a slide tackle. They yellow card the player and spot the ball outside the big box on the corner. Needless to say the game ended the moment I shot which had no chance of getting in. This is only the second game I ever had 0 shots in the first 90 minutes. You could see the computer players move at 2-3 times normal animation speed every time they went to tackle so I could not even pass before they took it away.

    Another example from earlier in the week. Both teams rated around 64-65 and the result is a 6-0 loss.Both teams had 13 shots and 6 on target. I was 0 of 6 and the other team was 6 of 6 scoring goals.

    It is absolute bs that my goalkeeper makes only 50-75% of his saves and I have gone over 30 shots on target in a row that got taken down by the keeper. It is very common at pro level to see 90% of accurate shots saved. Each of the last two days I have seen my keeper get hit in the chest with a softly hit ball. fall backwards and the ball bounce away from the goal and then into as the keeper falls well into the goal.

    The good
    Licenses, great diversity in players and teams, and nice looking stadiums.

    The bad
    Player ratings are often wildly inaccurate. I have a 59 and 60 player that can outplay all but one of the other bronze players that are strikers in the English league that are English. I just went through the Silver English league CM list and the ones around 68-71 tend to be the best when looking at total stats, stat distribution, and weak foot.

    Scripting
    Some games you just cannot win. I have had multiple games where I never had a chance to get a shot in within 25 yards. Other games the defense was so pathetic I could score 3 times in a minute or two. I had one game that my loaner 94 striker got completely outmatched by a team that was a 65-66 rating. I tied a game in World Class with a 56 rated team versus a silver one and my players had negatives to their stats due to the chemistry being so bad. 4 times in squad battles I gave up a goal to a team in Amateur mode, 3 times because I got called for a foul in my box for trying to kick the ball out.

    The really bad
    FUT gambling casino. I have bought numerous gold premium packs and have never gotten one without a least 1 rare squad fitness except the infamous one I listed at the start of my post. Gold squad fitness are worthless as I see it. Over all the packs I have opened they have constituted close to 50% of my rares. I did get a 90 card in one of the 12.5K players packs. Since then, an 86. Yet, I opened 3 gold premium and 2 jumbo gold premium packs and not gotten over a 78 rare or 79 common during the day I got my 2 weekly packs this week. This is particularly painful given how little you get in coins per match.

    Coin reward scaling - Unless you are really good and/or have a top tier team you are going to often get a lower coin reward for more difficult games. The multiplier far more with difficulty level of the match. I have walked away from many matches with less than 365 coins awarded since starting World Class play. Granted, I am using a bronze team but the reward would not be much over 600 in a stellar performance and a gold team

    Gameplay.

    Well where do we begin? Defending is difficult, I found that players simply walked through my midfield despite my efforts to make plug up any holes. At any stage where its more effective to simply let the AI do the defending for you is bad news.

    Attacking is also equally difficult largely in part to changes in pace mechanics and passing mechanics which is a double edged sword. I get nerfing pace but in reality if I slip a through ball to a 90 odd pace player I do not expect him to be caught as easily as they will be caught in this game.

    Passing is a frustrating affair also with how pressure works in this game (It actually does work and you will be pressed hard) any erroneous pass will result in devastating counter attacks but while most of the time it was mostly my error, the trapping and lack of urgency when moving the ball quickly just makes simple A passes lead to the opponent countering.

    Creating chances is harder also but the lack of movement honestly kills me at times when trying to maintain possession you will have to keep the ball for an extraordinary amount of time before somehow one of the players decides to make a run through a defence to set up an opportunity. There's just no real flow.

    Deflections and bounces are varying degrees of unfair from mildly frustrating to controller snapping rageaholic. Whenever attempting some form of tackle the ball just bounces around and will end up in a dangerous position and it makes no sense, I hate the fact we have to charge a tackle, just tackle the ball and get it away not let it bounce several times and the opponents forward simply just rugby charge through my defenders to get the ball and score. That is not football.

    Ultimately the reviews before you speak for themselves. The lack of changes to Pro Clubs and Career Mode is shambolic and I completely agree on that front but I have to talk gameplay wise and its frustrating.

    Thats all it is, its frustrating you will get frustrated to no end because every time you lose you will find several key moments where you ask yourself "What more could I of done?" and 9/10 the answer is nothing, its just bad luck and thats not good.

    I mean the fact that this will be a eSports game is laughable.

The worst part is that both players do not suffer from the same problem. You will be playing a team with horrible players, but has a good connection, and they will fly around the pitch, while you can barely move. Additionally, this game costs a lot of money to play. If you want to be competitive, plan on pumping a lot of money to buy cards to get coins to purchase better players.

    totally embarrassed to have bought it for the 6th year in a row and not i will not buy another Fifa title ever, not even for 1 single dollar

    Some minor tweaks have been made. None of the bigger issues seems to be fixed - buggy referees, Kickoff-Glitch and 45min-Glitch are all still here. Along with a host of new bugs. Its disappointing that an update that cost the same as a full AAA-title introduces more bugs than it fixes.

    I would describe myself as an avid fan of football games, and over the last 20 years have owned nearly all Fifa's and have spent many many hours playing them, however Fifa 19 in my opinion is the worse in the franchise since fifa 64, visually it's fantastic the presentation and graphics are second to none especially with the inclusion of CL and Europa League licensing.

    But that's where

    But that's where it ends, on the pitch where the game truly matters or to me should do it's found wanting, gameplay is unrealistic to say the least, the ball shoots around like a pinball, including hitting the post or crossbar 5 times a match if not more ,the Goalkeepers AI makes Massimo Taribi look like a world beater at times and 50/50's are about as effective as a chocolate teapot, there are so many other areas of the gameplay as well that it feels like an unfinished game (FYI I've spent about 25 hours playing this on my own and with others).

    If the above still leaves you undecided this might help, the Fifa franchise to EA sports is now quite clearly developed to be its cash cow, Ultimate Team which generates huge revenue for EA has been revamped but all other modes in my opinion have fallen to the waste side, an example of this is the career mode which has had no changes at all except everything now has a tinge of blue and the champions league music is in the game due to the new licenses.

    So in a summary, Fifa 19 is a repackaged Fifa 18 with poorer gameplay, lack of game updates especially career mode where there are none and slightly improved graphics

    У игроков нет понятия лицо-спина. Стоя спиной к воротам, игрок без промаха кладет мяч идеально в девятку, пока 2-3 защитника тащат вратаря покурить в сторонку.
    Рейтинг игроков абсолютно ни на что не влияет. Сейчас твой игрок может еле двигаться и страдать фигней, а через минуту носиться со скорость х3
    Защитники и вратари в игре исключительно для вида. Чтобы в режиме FUT донатили и теребонькали на красивые картинки.
    Не пошла у канадцев третья уфц? Не беда, они добавили элементы уфц в фифу. Какие-то непонятные бодания, кувырки, фризы игроков.
    Зачем вообще на поле игроки, если мяч может пролетать сквозь них?
    А чудесные финты? Если началась анимация финта, то противник его не может прервать никак! И это спустя пол года после выхода игры и всяких патчей.

    Единственное, что отличает эту версию от предыдущей, это возможность легкого входа в игру новых игроков: Пас->Пас->Пас->Пас->Удар-гол. А потом в обратную сторону. Ну и не забывать теребонькать правый стик периодически. Вот как выглядит 19 фифа.
    Забыл еще упомянуть чудесные отскоки... Порой начинаешь задумываться, из чего сделан этот реактивный самонаводящийся "мяч", если после легкого качения он отсткакиевает от игрока вдруг с первой космической скоростью да еще и точно в ноги или на ход кому-нибудь нужному. Причем хоть на метр, хоть через пол поля с игроками.
    Истинное название этой игры: Fifa 19 pinball edition

    Единственный плюс этой игре за огромное количество разнообразных режимов, не связанный с игрой в "футбол". За это накину единичку.

    With initial excitement having died down a few months after the game's release, FIFA 19 stands exposed for what it is: another recycled iteration of a franchise that sorely needs refreshing. Both off the pitch and on it, FIFA 19 is a hollow experience, yet another broken promise and a slap in the face of what we have come to expect from good game development. To truly compete in the gaming arena, FIFA must lace its boots and pull up its socks if it is to achieve what it too lazily sets out to each year.
