    I love football and I played every PES and Fifa game since 1995. Due to terrible user reviews I didn’t buy Fifa 19 thinking it was a very bad game.

Due to terrible user reviews I didn’t buy Fifa 19 thinking it was a very bad game. Probably users were right since it had many negative issues at launch and EA had to do many title updates. After buying fifa 21 i hated the game and I regret I bought it. I decided to download Fifa 19 from EA play a month ago and I was so surprised. For me Fifa 19 is the best football game now in Dec 2020 considering the gameplay. In game modes there were not much improvements to Fifa 18 but gameplay, ball physics, team and opponent AI, graphics, player faces are perfect. I am a Career Mode player and I enjoy it so much.
    This game is hundred times better than Fifa 21 and Fifa 20 and better than Pes 2020 and 2021.

    In conclusion, forget about all the bad reviews before, give it a try. In these quarantine days you will thank me.    … Expand

    A really fun FIFA game that is better than the previous game. It is really fun, and the seasons are fun to play through. It also has many other game modes that are unique, as every mode has different goals and features. I recommend it a lot,

    Fifa 19 není žádný převratný ročník. Říct o ní, že se jedná o kopii minulého dílu, ale nemůžeme. Není však pochyb o tom, že se hráčská komunita, tak jako každý rok, rozdělí na dva nesmiřitelné tábory. Nás Fifa 19 nesmírně bavila a ač se to podle prvních dojmů nezdálo, jedná se o velmi slušný základ pro díly nastávající. GamePress cz

    This year's FIFA is the first to use the Frostbite engine. So people saying it's the exact same game as last year don't have a clue. Don't listen to the trolls. This may be the best FIFA in almost a decade.

    The career mode is as addictive as ever. I LOVE The Journey and think it's a fun addition. FUT is definitely a cash grab that is both annoying & addictive, but there is no need to play it unless you like online competition.

    Major improvements to gameplay over last year, with great FUT additions. The fact that the game is noticeably harder is also awesome as it will reward those who practice and adapt.

    The 0/10 scores are cancerous... and ruin metacritc. I don't think any game can be a 0 can it?

For me - this was a good first experience with FUT. A lot of the complaints here simply come down to the skill ceiling perhaps being raised a little. It takes time to get better at this game. The AI can be a little bit annoying at times (the ball not being trapped when in position to intercept, or timing a tackle well without reward), but overall it's a solid game and made quite well. I've put a fair bit of time into building my team and generally most division rival teams are around the same team rating as mine. It's not pay to win - despite what some frustrated players say. I have lost many times to less skilled teams on paper, and won the majority against teams with icons or 90+ rated cards. In terms of problems - the only bug that has frustrated me is being unable to apply consumables at times. I have to exit out of FUT and re-enter to apply them. Other than at times feeling a bit cheated in defending situations - I enjoy the game. It can be extremely frustrating at times, but that's the nature of the game as a series. Losing FIFA is, and always will be very annoying. A lot of the 0 reviews are mistaking their lack of ability to play the game well, with the quality of the game itself.… Expand

I was expecting this year with great impatience and of course I had the curiosity of a competitor who was quite upgraded compared to last year. In order not to get tired, however, I will quickly tell you my opinion about the new FIFA. I liked it very much. New Kick off modes take off the game and you can laugh with your friends enough. Prototype and well-received. The Champions League and the Europa League welcomed these as well.
    Sooner or later, these events would end up in the hands of EA SPORTS.
    Transfers new, improved stadiums, new correct jerseys except some jerseys belonging to the rest of the world. Missing the Russian Championship. Striking new animations and expressions on faces are becoming more and more plausible. Heavy gameplay and even much slower than FIFA 18. Shooting is quite different to 18 in the bad sense for me as do the goalkeepers who are quite overpowerd. I think it's a custom theme. At fifa2020, I'm sure we will all write that speed has improved and we will have to complain about something else. Otherwise, what is the reason for each year to make a new FIFA.Without exaggeration, however, they would not be able to make FIFA every year and charge it for a mere 70 euro, but to make something like a paid patch that puts all the new transfers and jerseys and if they want to add something as new as this year the house rules and that bad addition with the perfect shot make out a DLC. In conclusion, I think that someone who did not get FIFA 18 and is still with FIFA 17 is a perfect upgrade and will be happy 400%. But if you own FIFA 18 you will not be so happy and I would suggest that you expect the price to fall to 40 euros.    … Expand

    Talking about FIFA 19, it isn't the best FIFA game, but it's good. It's not perfect and it's not so realistic, although is really entertaining and competitive. A game doesn't need to be realistic to be a good game, EA made a good decision, they did a decent realistic game, but they to added more game modes and more ways to play it, like division rivals, which is better than FUT Champions. The Champions League addition was expected, but I must I was impressed at the first minutes of the demo, it seems better than a normal match. The Journey is excellent and has a good touch of drama, although is repetitive in some parts of the story.

    However, the game has some problems. First of all, some of the players are really slow for their positions and that affects the fluency of the game, stopping the match's entertainment for a couple of seconds. Then, some goalkeepers did senseless mistakes and that's kind of frustrating, in online matches it's a pain in the neck. Finally, there have been minor changes in Career mode and Pro Clubs hasn't been touched.

    FIFA 19 is a good game, but EA needs to make some big changes to be the winner (by far) of the next year.    … Expand

    continue to grow.

    The movement and first touch of the players is a lot more fluid and feel the overall realistic approach of 50/50 challenges has been taken into account.

    Now, the campaign I'm a fan of, did the story need more work? Yes, however it's still something you can enjoy and I doubt any of us were waiting a modern day Hitchcock story.

    FUT, FUT, FUT. Guess what you can throw heat at FIFA and EA games as much as you like. what the problem we need to face the most is? players. If the players could sit on their hands, stop purchasing credits we may stop this practice altogether. The problem is though, just like war this will never happen as mankind will always find a cheap way to get a leg up.

    If anything should be raised, it should be the sheer disrespect to Mile Jedinak's glorious beard being robbed of an appearance in the game.    … Expand

Dribbling has improved significantly as well, you can now press lb while sprinting to push the ball a little and try to dribble the defender, improved from last year. Defending has changed a bit, now you'd better release sprinting before tackling, however many ppl complains the defense is not reliable this year, it is simply more difficult but not impossible to get the ball from your opponent, however bounces of the ball are sometimes a pain.

    FUT is as engaging as ever. The Journey remains a unique and interesting way to play. Presentation overall is excellent, with the Champions League license rounding off the package well. New Kick Off modes are entertainingly different. On-pitch play is more responsive and satisfying than it's been for years.

    Where Fifa 18 was the worst part, Fifa 19 is one of the better versions I've played so far. The gameplay felt good and the addition of the European competitions is fantastic. It is now really a full-fledged football game for the fans. The Journey was also more fun than the previous parts. So this part made up for it compared to a year earlier.

    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.
