Passing is slower and the new ways of receiving the ball means you HAVE to use all of the preset fifa skill animations rather than moving with the right stick and have it be a free flowing game. Gameplay is ruined, I will be going back to FIFA 18 until fixed. The only improvement is the second player markers which are extremely helpful when switching. Apart from gameplay other new features are great. Expand

    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 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

    I dont think I've ever been so frustrated with a Fifa game like I am with this one.

    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.

    Since FIFA 15 i started to feel injustice in the gameplay, script as they call it.
    Since FIFA 15 EA doesnt promote the best and more skiled players, they try to have a balanced game independent of skill level, so even when u feel u are destroying u are actually not, the game never feels fair for none of the sides, which means that online you will never feel secure playing it.

    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.

Nothing?What about last seconds of a first half and added time is almost over, the opposing goalkeeper kicks the ball to the center of the court, but accidentally kicks it into his defender and the ball goes over the goalkeeper and into the net, but you know what?While the ball was mid air back to the net the ref decided its time to whistle and the goal did not count.

You continue to neglect the fans who give you money annually hoping to get a product with new features and fulfilled potential, but your lack of interest in anything other than FUT shows just how little you care about a substantial portion of your fan base while you focus your money-grabbing claws purely on one mode of the game.

    Be a Pro is untouched. Career Mode just re-skinned - and it is insulting that you claim your key focus this year was on implementing the CL into Career Mode. Are you serious?! The gazillions you make on This game annually, and the only challenge your resources are fit to match is including some official music, new gifs and a fresh skin for CL games? How can you sleep at night feeling like this alone is a job well done?! It is insulting to those who buy a new annual installment only to get more of the same game with virtually nothing new added.

    Career Mode remains shallow with no stats tracking, big teams still inexplicably field weakened sides against you, players decline after 30+ age too fast (your own cover star is 33, and by this logic from 3 years ago, he would be lucky to retain an 80+ rating!), youth players come out of the academy with no stamina, several key countries missing from scouting options (Wales can’t be scouted, even though their national team is in the game, along with all other home nations which can be scouted! How lazy can you get?!), according to your scout reports, over half of all Asian players are European-looking, and several key African countries return a majority of white players while France produces Asian players? Who tests this game before release?! Top teams still drop off during the seasons and struggle to sustain form, making winning things far too easy, still no option to customize your own manager avatar, instead being offered the exact same pre-set avatars as last year, top leagues still rarely seeing any player score much more than 20 goals in a season, stamina training nerfed so every new player in the game has no stamina and very little improvement over their career, still just a 15 season limit, still no interaction with your team or meaningful interactions with the press or the board or fans, top clubs failing to sign players into new contracts far too often for the game to remain immersive, the whole game world just static, with no rare occasion of a small non-player controlled club rising divisions and becoming a surprising force, every CPU team playing like they want to be Barca, with no teams operating a long ball tactic or anything other than pinging passes around at unrealistic pace in a manner not possible for the human player, the laziest AI programming, making the game more difficult not by programming the AI to be clever and work out ways past you that feel realistic but by increasingly the stats of even the weakest teams to play like a team of Messis and Ronaldos, scoring unrealistic goals while your team inexplicably turns to jelly, no option of a loan to buy, 90% transfer and loan talks break down, the list just goes on and on while EA sit on FUT and screech ignorance at fans who love the game and just want to see it subjected to some actual care and effort to make it worthwhile buying year in, year out. Shame on you EA!

    Pretty same scripts in-game.
    Not even a useful change in any mode except kick-off match. Even the money pulling FUT has just items menu redesign.
    Career mode unchanged.
    Multiplayer modes connection is still at 3s latency.

    1 for the soundtrack.
    Worth 5-10$ as a UCL DLC.

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

    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.

    Horrible. Gameplay seems to be even worse than 18, I would definitely not recommend it. This was the final nail in the coffin for me as after many years I will definitely not get the next iteration of the game.

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.

    I think my biggest gripe with FIFA 19, lack of invention aside, is their "half-assed" attempt at making the game feel more realistic, yet again. I would appreciate more realistic collision physics, if it was actually realistic - In FIFA 19, it's nothing but a gimmick that makes the game unnecessarily frustrating, at times.

I would appreciate more realistic collision physics, if it was actually realistic - In FIFA 19, it's nothing but a gimmick that makes the game unnecessarily frustrating, at times. You can often get away with rugby fouling players in this game, just because. This new emphasis on "more realistic" take downs and first touches also feels really flawed and lacking in it's execution. I, for one, rarely see professional players insist on taking two, three touches on the ball when they receive it in stressing situations where they need to release it quickly, and even the most skillful of players are prone to awkwardly receiving the ball in such a way that it bounces away and gets intercepted by an opponent player that's not burdened by ironically unrealistic animations that you get locked to, as the player receiving the ball. Another thing is player switching when you're playing co-op. This feature should have been improved years ago, if not a decade ago. Not only have they not improved on it, but it seems to be worse in FIFA 19 compared to past iterations in the franchise. Surely, it's possible to create a different algorithm that makes this feature more intuitive and effective?

    This version of The Journey has had a few small improvements added to it, but it's probably exactly what you expected it to be like. If you like it in past games, you'll enjoy this one as well. Nothing revolutionary here, except for allowing the player to pick and play through the careers of Alex Hunter, his sister, Kim, and Danny Williams. Overall, it's a typical, new FIFA release, with largely insignificant updates outside of Ultimate Team. In terms of gameplay, my personal impression is that FIFA 19 is slightly more slow paced than FIFA 18, and slightly more frustrating to play, due to these new features that emphasize "realism", but adds little more than a larger margin for error that occurs much more frequently in the game, than it does in real life - this seems to be a trend in their realism features. As usual, the menus look slick and stylish, and the soundtrack has a few of those classic, bangers that stick to your mind after you've logged out of the game.

    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)

    Do not believe the actual reviews from game companies. Sometimes I question if they're just paid to do so. I will give you my run down of both the pros and cons of the game.

    Do not believe the actual reviews from game companies. Sometimes I question if they're just paid to do so. I will give you my run down of both the pros and cons of the game.

    Pros:
    - Champions League was a nice addition adding to the authenticity of the game itself.
    - You can now train strength and sprint speed in Career Mode.
    - The Journey is always a nice addition to the game, but it's a play once then never again kind of mode.
    - Stadium atmospheres.

    Cons:
    - The game largely remains the same as last year.
    - Ultimate Team has been again, the entire focus of this years FIFA.
    - Career Mode was basically untouched.
    - Pro Clubs was the same.
    - They've basically charged £50 for a reskin, roster updates and updated kits.
    - Gameplay is terrible this year, the shooting is just appalling. I'm unsure if this will be fixed in a later patch.
    - They promised us new things, like Survival Mode, a brand new commentary team (which was just on the CL) to replace the current. We got none of it, or part of the promises.
    - Player Career Mode is a disaster, even though by the Journey they've proved they can make it interesting.
    - You still cannot come on as even a sub on that game mode, but you can in the Journey.
    - Customization is the same.

    Overview:
    I'm disappointed again. Another year, same game. It's been the same since FIFA 12. I don't play Ultimate Team, I'm more of a Career Mode player. I wasted my money on this, again. EA don't care about you. I've realised that this year more than any other. The wishlists for Career Mode and Pro Clubs are huge, and FIFA are just sitting on a sleeping giant and they don't care. It feels like they just want CM to disappear when it was the mode that made FIFA what it is. So much potential, but they didn't change barely anything.

    It annoys me when I see this game get anything above a 5 from reviews because it really doesn't deserve it. If you really want to play the Journey or Career Mode this year, but do not want to support EA. Buy the game second hand.

    I used to love FIFA, I have now bought the game day one every year since 1998 pre-ordering. Now I'm just giving up.

    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.

    FIFA may have the licenses, and it certainly looks pretty enough, but out on the pitch where it counts this game is not very good, it has long standing issues that have not been addressed.

    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.

    Absolutely, outstanding, insanely, unreal, mega-super GARBAGE. This is not a game, this is not a football. I've waited for years and over the past 20 years, I DO NOT WANT to play in the new FIFA. It's very bad.

    God is geek = 95, without mentioning PRO CLUBS. Don't worry EA we(God is geek) wont talk about it since there are no gambling #FUT in it. Who cares, right?

    Multiplayer.it = 90 "but gameplay can improve." and what score u will give it then (190??). And if the gameplay is not good, on which whole game is about. Football, Gameplay, then how in the blue hell your score is 90. lets move

    lets move on...

    M3 = 90 . "UCL addition, realistic movement and stupid new house rules in which who ever scores first wins. Is amazing. Best thing ever happened to FIFA. Are you sure "M3".
    1 = UCL was in PES but nobody cared.
    2 = realistic movement. Only thing PES shows off every year is the control and movement. FIFA is not there yet.
    3 = House rule? house rules? really? when without license PES made nameless leagues then it wasnt good enough but now scoring only from header counts. And thats cool for you.

    This game is not an upgrade but a new layout for FUT gambling addiction. That EA has managed to spread in the youngsters and children. I loved Pro club.....dead. Loved seasons.....nobody cares (since its real madrid in every other match).

    I only say one thing to the people who are really open to talk about the difference in good and bad in each game. PES and FIFA. This used to be a war. We all here, lived it. Through the trenches of god forsaken PES lobby and FIFA bad match making. Both of these titles are missing steps to be great again. but the only difference is FIFA doesn't need to change, and PES has to change a lot from being good to be great. If things stays the same, this might not be the end. But i can see it from here.

    EA just keep proving that all that it cares about is moany. don't get me wrong all companies go for business to generate money but EA takes it to another level.

It manipulates young kids to spend real moany to get a competitive advantage in a game rigged to ensure that you are matched with someone who has a better team than you just because they spent cash. the fact that they stop the weekly championship in FIFA 18 even though we paid for it is a proof of their manipulation tactics because they know that this competition is where the money is and want to make sure that the players move to the next FIFA trap.
    it is actually amazing that an organization like Fifa which promote "Fair Play" allow its name to be associated with an organization known for its greedy and manipulative tactics regardless of the age of its customers. I guess their values are only used to decorate their executive office walls and have no place in the real world.
    Shame on you Fifa.
    Exposing children to gambling like microtransaction system is unforgivable and take greed to a completely new level. hope that the regulators take serious action against companies like EA.

    Disgraceful in a nutshell.. only question is which is more so - the game or those EA staff on here giving it a 10.

    No change to career mode (the only mode I care about) and gameplay has taken a major step backwards. Players run like they are cripples, defence AI is non existent, cpu defenders have magnetic tractor beams and oh dear, SCRIPTING just got a whole lot worse. But I suppose the player faces look real and the grass colour is authentic. The box cover looks ok and the sun is shining. These are the only positives you’ll find in this game.

    How could you possibly justify selling the exact same game for $100 (CAD) and change the colour of the background, and add a couple stupid CL graphics to 'justify' this trash?

    Manager mode used to be EA's pride, but the same garbage B.S put forward in Fifa and Madden, this Ultimate Team garbage needs to F-OH. You need to understand your customers, and from what I'm seeing online is

    You need to understand your customers, and from what I'm seeing online is that the majority are pretty pissed off that you've just about **** on everyone that plays manager mode (which is likely over 80% of FIFA players).

    Terrible. You've lost many loyal FIFA customers including me with this pathetic release. You've got alot to make up for in 2020, if you even plan to.

    Terrible.

    It is poor game in gameplay aspects. Really feel so bad the players moves like they are like a pool. It is not football soccer, it is just a game like mario kart games just for fun but not consider a good soccer game.

Improved tactics and new game play systems are a hit but keepers act weird sometimes and there are some problems with the (u)natural movement of the ball. Presentation top notch as usual but still, sometimes, the general crowd looks creepy and robotic. Perhaps in the next gen machines... Plus, career mode is frozen in time, EA must let gamers to fully customize teams, kits etc. Graphics a slight improvement over FIFA 18, sound is majestic but not in all grounds. Oh and metacritic needs to do something with fanboy'ism or just get rid of user scores. You all know what I mean. Thanxxx Expand

    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?

    Champions League is here and with it, the system of first touch and contact with balls, which works great. All around, it's the best football simulation at the market.

    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.
