    This is the first FIfa I bought after Fifa 15 so yeah I actually could see a diffrence between the games. So maybe my score is more then this game actually deserves but I had some fun with it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esse jogo é igual ao anterior em tudo, tirando o The Journey, que se aprimorou e trouxe uma história ainda melhor com o Alex Hunter, mas de bônus com as histórias de sua irmã mais nova e de seu novo melhor amigo, que dependendo das suas escolhas e de seu progresso na UEFA Champions League, tu podes ter um confronto entre os dois amigos para decidir a taça. De resto, é sério que o jogo precisa melhorar na sua jogabilidade, esse lance de ser arcada está cansativo, quero um simulador que beneficie fãs como eu do Modo Carreira de Manager!… Expand

    Appuntamento annuale, non ho notato sconvolgimenti rispetto al titolo precedente. Ma comincio a non gradire questa impressione che il risultato dei match online non dipendano esclusivamente dalle proprie abilità

    FIFA 19 was a game that slightly improved the rules of the games and got entertained, the usual mistakes are already less common, but this game has already improved slightly.

    So... another year... another FIFA. As a long time fan of the series, I can say this. The addition of the licenced UEFA competitions, Serie A, and presentation upgrades are great.

The gameplay is solid if nothing spectacular new or improved, some improvements to Career mode (which is really what I play the most apart from local multiplayer) but all in all, it's not enough to actually be worthy of full price. Add to that the fact that this is EA and the fee to play economy it has with the FUT? Yeah... no thank you. Only recommended if you haven't bought a FIFA in like 3+ years, and wait for it to be on sale (like $20 or less), otherwise, please don't give EA more money. Also, if you have gambling problems or young children, DON'T BUY.… Expand

I think that games like this are really hard to build but they should get better every year. But this year they tried a lot of new things and it was not really good. I just hope that they can improve what they tried to do in FIFA 19. Maybe they should also start to do something new after their creation of the story mode, they should maybe come up with some more special things which they never had before.… Expand

    I can't believe so many bad reviews. It is true that the game is not good and for years it seemed to be the same game with updated teams but it is the best football simulator of today.
    Despite all the bugs and errors is much more real than the PES 2019

    Apesar da novidade da Champions League, e seus modos (No Modo OFF), modificações nas táticas, o jogo apresentou um desempenho fraco, com faces de jogadores velhas, Parece que fizeram uma ''Atualização'' do fifa 18. Desempenho fraco.

    I enjoy Fifa in general, but this one seems to not meet the standards. Most of my frustrations are with the gameplay. The game isn't very realistic in my mind compared to other Fifas in the past.

You can tip/steal the ball 5 times on defense and the ball will knock around and find it's way back to the offense and then they will score some ridiculous shot. On offense, you can be knocking the ball around with no problem and then when you get a wide open shot from inside the penalty spot they will find a way to hit the post or miss the net. Ultimately, I love Fifa but the gameplay in this one doesn't make sense at times and doesn't reward you for good play on either side of the ball which is a shame. It causes more frustrations than fun.… Expand

    Not great. Gameplay doesn't compare to PES, which is much better. Nothing new minus a soundtrack and cover. There is the UCL, which can be fun for a bit, then loses it. The Journey is new but boring. The only reason this game still exists os because it is buying all licensing from PES, which has much better gameplay and Master League career mode.

    I've been playing in fifa and pes series since 2004 and have to admit that only one of them survived. Got all this bugs, server's troubles, old and not really updated game modes but fifa stiil the best football simulator in the industry, so have what we have and hope that the 2020 version will be revolutionary.

    The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?

    My experience with FIFA and football simulations in general: So, I love Football and play EA's simulations of it since 1999 when I started with the spin-off "Bundesliga Stars 2000". Since FIFA 2001 I've played every FIFA until I skipped FIFA 17 and most of FIFA 18. In the meantime, I played PES 2015 till PES 2018. While I've probably never    The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?

    My experience with FIFA and football simulations in general:
    So, I love Football and play EA's simulations of it since 1999 when I started with the spin-off "Bundesliga Stars 2000". Since FIFA 2001 I've played every FIFA until I skipped FIFA 17 and most of FIFA 18. In the meantime, I played PES 2015 till PES 2018. While I've probably never been in the top 1% of FIFA players, I've always been in league 1 online and finishing Weekend Leagues a bit above average (17+ wins).

    The Game modes:
    Nothing really has changed for the past years. Like almost literally nothing.
    Ultimate Team is still as addicting and a microtransaction infested mode it has always been. I think it has become fairer in awarding good players with at least a decent squad. Neymar and Co. aren't unreachable anymore without paying money. But be prepared to face a lot of time investment and gate-keeping.
    I could talk about the other modes but seriously, they haven't changed at all. Neither the career mode nor the Pro Clubs mode is contemporary.
    But PES is way worse in this aspect. At least FIFA does have a real pro-club mode and not only lobbies. And Konomi’s Ultimate Team clone never satisfied my while being as infested with loot boxes as the original.

    Presentation (Graphics, Sound, Atmosphere, Licences):
    If I want to play with my favourite club Werder Bremen online, I must play FIFA. There are no patches for online play in PES. But still with a fan patch on day 1 I get a way better representation of my home club in PES. How is it possible that a Bundesliga club has like zero fresh face scans? Not only that, the faces that were modelled somewhere are just terrible. I would do a better job in a day. Put them in a neutral jersey and I wouldn't be able to recognize a single player in FIFA. In 2018 when the game is 44 gb. That's beyond lazy.
    If you only play offline and your argument against PES is mainly the licences. Don't. The amount of effort to import your favourite club/league/competition isn't huge anymore and I **** you not: You'll get a better result with the fan patch than a AAA-publisher EA was able to provide.
    Overall the graphics are okay. I think the more realistic approach of Konami got ahead with the players nowadays actually looking very realistic instead of the rounder and less detailed players in FIFA. But this is a matter of taste, I guess. The animations in FIFA do still look a bit ponderous but do their job.
    The sound atmosphere isn't good in both games, but FIFA definitely has the better one. Having original chants only add to that. However, the reaction of the fans just isn't really tied to what's happening on the pitch most of the time and never feels special even if you hit that last-minute banger to take the win.

    Gameplay:
    This is my biggest problem with the game. Like every FIFA since I play online the same problem comes up at some point. The "META". The game is fun until everyone online starts to do the exact same thing that somehow is overpowered in FIFA. Oh, and Pace has literally been a part of it in every damn competitive FIFA since 2004. It's not always the exact same overpowered mechanic but I haven't played a FIFA where there isn't one. And I already can hear the first "get good" coming at me. But just watch the gameplay of the professional FIFA players. There are small differences but overall, they have the same approach and are using the same players. How is Messi that much worse than the same rated Ronaldo that the later one has three times the value? Luka Modric (91 rated): 79k Coins, Aubameyang (87 rated): 300k coins.
    And then watch a few of the PES professional matches. The pros have completely different playstyles. They don't try to abuse the same flaw in the AI defines every time.
    Don't get me wrong. If you never reach a certain level of competitiveness you probably won't really notice this. At this point it is hard to tell whether you made a mistake or met the boundaries of the game.

    Conclusion:
    If you just want to play a few online matches with your favourite club, feel free to buy FIFA. If you want to play diverse and realistic football you might want to play PES. But be aware that you will need to get the fun in game since game modes and presentation outside the game are absolutely outdated though. There just isn’t a good (80+) football game out there right now.

    If FIFA weren't in a near monopoly in its genre it probably would have already seen the same fate as NBA Live did a few years ago. The Battlefield series makes quantum leaps with each entry compared to this franchise. But while PES is way ahead in one aspect, they lose in another. That's just not enough to dethrone FIFA.

    The dream of a new competitor bringing fresh air into the market and maybe even introduce another approach dies with every new entry in this franchise.
    So, it's "The same procedure as every year, James..."    … Expand

    The gameplay is fine but there doesn't seem to be any incentive to buy the game anymore. Ultimate Team seems too exploitive and the manager mode is the same every year. I'm sure some people (younger players maybe?) can enjoy 'The Journey' but for me, it is pretty much the movie Goal made into a video game story. Not great acting, awkward cameos and the story is not very realistic or captivating.

    EA is getting lazy, there is no evolution in FIFA this gen. Is very hard to control the defenders and their AI is ridiculous. Against players with a lot of payers in the midfield the game is a huge mess. The game needs to improve and become more realistic in graphics, physics and gameplay. Is very frustrating to try and play good football and then lose with goals that don't feel realistic.EA is getting lazy, there is no evolution in FIFA this gen.

    Same as usual. Every year it is the same thing in terms of hype and small changes in the game play but after a week you get use to it and back to the same old fifa 10. I usually play Pro Clubs and I feel like its the same as the first year the game had it.

    Great new modes, some minor changes making the game even more enjoyable, tons of licenses (Champions League!), spectacular presentation and the richest, most varied story mode yet make FIFA 19 an excellent entry in the series. [12/2018, p.62]

    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.
