    Finally a Fifa game that places a greater emphasis on simulation, passing and skilled finishing rather then spammed pace and one two's shoot.

    I can't understand why there's so much hate about FIFA 19. If you like FIFA and you enjoy it (meaning know how to play it) you'll be pleased. Peace

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. me.    … Expand

    The presentation side of the game is absolutely brilliant because both the visuals and sound design are the most realistic the series has delivered so far.

I’ve really enjoyed the changes that have been made to the gameplay because both the movement and shooting feel better and no game ever feels the same. I’m sad to see The Journey come to an end but without a doubt they’ve done justice to how they’ve concluded the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The new Kick-Off modes are a nice addition to the game and playing them is not only fun but challenging as well. FUT has seen some new additions and I’m pleased to see this because in my opinion it was going a little stale so these new additions breath a little more life into it. It’s great to see the Champions League included in FIFA and I’m pleased to say that they’ve done the historic competition justice. The new changes in the gameplay take a little bit of getting used to and I would’ve liked more help from the game to help ease the transition. I will admit to you now that I was nervous about FIFA 19 because I saw that they had made quite a lot of changes to the gameplay. Thankfully I didn’t need to be nervous at all because the changes that have been implemented to the movement and shooting have improved the game quite considerably in my opinion. In fact the game on the whole has improved and there’s a number of different new features included in the game as well which were needed in some cases. FUT feels fresher than ever because of the new additions and this does give you a reason to return back to the mode. There’s also new additions in the Kick-off mode as well and I must admit that I did enjoy playing these new modes with friends. At the end of the day then FIFA 19 has delivered in a number of key areas and when you combine that with the realistic visuals and sound design this is definitely one of the best if not the best FIFA’s there’s ever been and I’m sure fans of the series will thoroughly enjoy what this new FIFA has brought to the table.… Expand

    I honestly do not know why this game gets so much hate. Ok, I get that EA has a terrible reputation after SW Battlefield 2 and loot boxes etc but to score this game as a 0 is really childish.

    Whilst it is not a remarkable upgrade on FIFA 18, I actually appreciate that it plays a decent game of football, nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable.

    Whilst it is not a remarkable upgrade on FIFA 18, I actually appreciate that it plays a decent game of football, nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable.

    I feel that the passes have weight and the variable ways of scoring goals and playing to your individual player's strengths is good enough.

    Whilst I do accept that charging full price for this year's effort if you already have FIFA 18 is difficult to justify but taking the game on its own merits (and ignore the fact that it is an EA game) and I actually enjoy it.

    Like others have mentioned, I do wish tho that more time and effort had been spent on the career mode. The fact that it is almost identical to last years effort is pretty lazy and as I don't play the FUT mode, it is where I spend most of my time.

    If this had been a biannual release I think it would have been viewed in a very different light. Take some time out EA as Ubisoft did with Assasins Creed, refine your product and bring us more of what we want. Listen to feedback for once. They won't however, as people continue to buy year after year ( I didn't buy it, I have it shared with my brother in law).

    Game play is too slow, passing is slow, animations look like players are skating around the pitch with no weight. Add the above to no major changes to career mode or pro-clubs in favour of The Journey, a mode which last 8 hours at best and has little to no replay-ability, and of course Ultimate Team.

    I don't recommend this casino disguised as a game of football at all.

My 200/200 fiber connection couldn't handle it ... I have then played FUT. I keep getting a lot of player packages where 95% are with untradeable content. That means I have between 40-60 packages all the time I can't open because I have players waiting to be either deleted or trade in as i.e. gold upgrade (SBC). Why do doublets have to block for the opportunity to open new packages?

    Regarding the gameplay it's most of the time almost impossible to defend. Press i.e. the standing tackle button (B) and you'll see your player almost sit down when his direct opponent is long gone. Worst case you'll make a penalty due to the heavy delay! Speaking of penalties, the latest "update" has now removed the arrow showing where you are aiming when taking a penalty => advantage goalkeeper!

    If your opponent suddenly quits then the score as it were will stand. If you're 1-0 up, you'll win, if you're 0-1 down you'll lose, if it's 5-5 it's be a draw - even if it's your opponent that quits!!! Why???

    Be careful if you want to change your tactic during a match. I always use 4-4-1-1(2) but I have to reset my formation before each match. If 1 is very defensive (park the bus), 3 is medium and 5 is all attacking. if I don't reset and I want to press or defend it will automatically switch to a standard 4-4-2 if I choose option 1, 2, 4 or 5. Very annoying!

    Regarding subs, why can you only have 2 while resting further 10 (but not the GK)? Why not make 14 slots available instead of only 12?

    A minor detail is that since I have a decent internet connection, I'm usually the home team (regarding kits) but always playing away from home.

    Finally I want to focus on the beginning ... When you start playing FUT, you'll start with a lousy team with i.e. 40% bronze, 40% silver and 20% gold players and a very poor chemistry level. You play 5 qualification matches where I managed 1 draw and 4 defeats which meant I had to start in division 6 where all my opponents had 86+ squads. So quickly I was in division 9 and had a pretty tough start to FIFA 19 instead of just starting in division 10, slowly build a better squad and then get promoted.

    Due to that special situation I very often find that newbies - who also start in division 6 - quit the match after only a short time as mentioned earlier.

    This is not about FIFA 20, but I have tried it for about a month but gave up. It's even worse (imo). Since the release of FIFA 14 it has been more or less enough to have 1 or 2 good players in order to win a match, not a full team.
    FIFA 19 is FIFA Street on grass (more arcade game than football game). It doesn't matter if you can play good shortpassing or wing play, just learn how to juggle/lift the ball over your opponent and then can't tackle you without making a freekick.    … Expand

    O pior FIFA dos últimos anos. A EA não ouve seus consumidores e vem destruindo o que chegou a ser bom.

    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.

    FIFA 19 reaffirms the series' strengths, even if some smaller problems, like not so real-like player models and a bad commentary keep it from reaching a better score. It still holds strong thanks to very good and even more refined gameplay, new licenses like UEFA Champion's League and the Italy's Serie A, a more accessible FUT mode and a great soccer feeling overall. Definitely the game to have for soccer fans.
