It is basically a re-skin of FIFA 18, which wasn't a bad game, but releasing the same thing two years in a row is truly stunning from a company worth billions of pounds they are taking us for a ride and they don't care because there are enough children who fall for the same tricks.

    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)

    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?

    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.

    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.

Player movements are felt exactly in the seventh generation. The mood of the players' emotions has also improved. In the end, I must say that this game in the ground is something between a seventh generation and the eighth generation Feeling .We never saw a complete football game in the eighth generation. The eighth generation was the decline of football games. Another simulator game is dead. The other is gone to the online side and money to poke the companies. it's shamefull . Expand

    I have seen better games from modders and fans...EA have monopolised the licenses so any hopes for a competitor are dashed, meaning they do not have to try. AT ALL.i truly feel sorry for any developer that has to pretend to be proud of such a predatory and greedy system.

    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)

    it's beyond lazy, if EA are hiring people just to pretend to work on a product for a year and simply change the tint of the menu, then hire me please i can pretend to be a developer too.

    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. PES has been the better game for football purists for the last few years and nothing has changed this year.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    FIFA 19 is fine unless you play FUT. FUT is a scam and scould not be allowed to play because of the greed EA putting into this mode. The Journey was very bad this time and Career Mode feelt the same as 18 but added CL. Overall I regret buying this game.

    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.
