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.

    es la misma mierda, deberían ya considerar hacer lo que hace rockstar, lanzar actualizaciones para un juego. Por cierto el modo historia es genérico, historia genérica.

    Same **** different name. Oh... excuse me, something has "changed": new and improved micro-transactions, and by improved I mean scummier.

    **** you EA and **** your pay-to-win casino gambling cheap freemium model. I hope you get outlawed in the EU and the rest of the world after.

    El peor juego de futbol que pueda existir, el Fifa 18 tuvo ciertas diferencias con su predecesor, pero esta basura de FIFA 19 es la misma basofia que la entrega anterior.... NO LO COMPREN

    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.

    To all the honest reviewers out there that have this game a 0 - Thank you!! I shall stay clear of this lemon and save my cash. Yes sure I get the game is not really deserving a zero but it’s a just score to overcome the fan boys giving it a 10. Seriously - have you ever seen a game of football before or are you on EAs payroll? It makes me laugh to read some reviewers erroneous conclusionTo all the honest reviewers out there that have this game a 0 - Thank you!! I shall stay clear of this lemon and save my cash.

Seriously - have you ever seen a game of football before or are you on EAs payroll? It makes me laugh to read some reviewers erroneous conclusion that only pes fans give this game a zero. 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.

    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.
