    Fifa 19 is a game that is further straying away from what a football game should be based on, the games focus is too heavily on the money juggernaut which is FUT and the gameplay of FUT to be quite frank is nothing that comes even close to accurately depicting a game of football.

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.

    I rate it **** out of 10, in second thoughts **** is actually useful which this game is completely void of.    … Expand

    The development team is already giving up on evolving AI. It seems that we are not putting effort into the development of departments that do not require billing. You guys should develop it even in phone games. Goodbye, FIFA.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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)    … Expand

    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)

    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.

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    … Expand

    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.

One game, the game play is fine and smooth online. Then, inexplicably, the game is unplayable online. Super charged Mbappe moves like a 70 ranked player, the game does not process commands when they are made, you'll be running down the side line and the player will cut back for no reason at all expect for some disturbance in the connection, the shooting becomes impossible to execute when this occurs. 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. It's fun to play when working properly, but that is so rare that mostly you just want to smash the controller because the game does not execute the commands you input in a timely manner.… Expand

    Even worse than 18! Standing tackle is non existent, shooting is random and very bad as well, ping pong passing, gameplay to fast, scripting again, kick off glitch.

    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.
