Now as much a part of the soccer universe as the Barclays Premier League and World Cup, FIFA 19 is the most complete version of the title to date thanks to the long-desired addition of the UEFA Champions League to its many gameplay options. Read on for our World Exclusive review of FIFA 19 on the Sony PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-1-550x389.jpg\" alt=\"Review: EA Sports FIFA 19 (PS4)\" class=\"wp-image-106449 lazyload\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the addition of the UEFA Champions League\nand UEFA Europa League stole the headlines of new features in EA Sports FIFA\n19, the game is once again chock full of the tweaks that we\u2019ve come to expect\nannually. These are the most obvious. We\u2019ll elaborate on them throughout our\nreview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kick-Off Options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a now a series of gameplay options when selecting a one-off Kick-Off mode match. These are a bit reminiscent of the old FIFA Street video games in feel. For example, you can play a \u201cHouse Rules\u201d match where you lose a player after you score each goal or in which there are absolutely no rules (fouls and offsides included). The most restrained First To\u2026 and is also in the mix. You can be more formal with Best of Series, Home and Away and Cup finals in Kick-Off mode as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jlvid_container \"><iframe title=\"EA Sports FIFA 19 UEFA Champions League Gameplay - Juventus vs. Valencia\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H59bpct5IwA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Active Touch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way you can control the ball upon receiving\nit has changed drastically in FIFA 19. You can either be traditional and\nreceive it, dribble or pass as we\u2019ve become used to or flick the right joystick\nto give the ball a little height (think beach or street soccer) and execute\nplethora of skills moves such as feint, volley, half-volleys or clearances. Big\nname player moves (such as Neymar\u2019s Trap are thrown in for good measure. This\nis a nice addition from EA Sports but requires quite a bit of practice to\nmaster since your flick-ups are easy for defenders to intercept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dynamic Tactics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team tactics can now be changed and tweaked during matches by using the directional buttons. Gone are the old Counter Attacking, Possession, etc. options. Now you can select Defensive, Balanced Attacking and Ultra Attacking with the left and right directional buttons. Hit the up and down ones to see four options each to fine tune your offence and defense such. They all change the behavior of your team and are great quick tactical updates based the flow of the match. Our favorites are the ability to enable Attacking Fullbacks and an Extra Strike when down late in a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-21.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-21-550x309.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106454 lazyload\" width=\"639\" height=\"359\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-21-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-21-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-21.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Timed Finishing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shooting gets sexier, more precise and\npotentially spectacular in EA Sports FIFA 19 through Time Finishing. Invoking it\nis simply tapping the shoot button as second time when attempting any shot on\ntarget. It works best for one touch moves such as volleys, headers and bicycle\nkicks. You can keep the FIFA Trainer on when trying it to master the art of\ncreating a bunch of Goal of The Year Candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>50\/50 Battles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports FIFA continues to evolve with increasingly realistic physicality. 50\/50 Battles is the latest development in this area as players battle each other for ball possession. We\u2019ve seen this mainly in the midfield where combative defensive-minded players will use their bodies and physical attributes to take the ball away from dribble-happy players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-550x309.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106456 lazyload\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Player Motion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like its predecessors of much of the past\ndecade, EA Sports FIFA 19 uses the Frostbite Engine to power its graphics.\nThere\u2019s no overhaul this year but new animations that are contextual with\nplayer interactions continue to be added to FIFA to provide very well-done and\nrealistic player motions. We\u2019ve seen many an antic and celebration of some of\nthe bigger names in world soccer reproduced in FIFA 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mosaic menu system that debuted back in 2015 is slightly updated and back for another run in FIFA 19. It\u2019s been imagery is more current and there is a tab bit less clutter but for the most part it is the same very intuitive, easy to use user interface that we\u2019ve come to love since the days of FIFA 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jlvid_container \"><iframe title=\"EA Sports FIFA 19 UEFA Champions League Final Gameplay - Juventus vs. PSG\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/foU4o5ekSjQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the enhancements in player motion\nthat we mentioned above the graphics throughout EA Sports FIFA 19 continue to\nbe world class. Players on all of the big names international and club teams\nhave been reproduced so well that you can identify them by their face, builds\nand, for the biggest stars, mannerisms in FIFA 19. The entire Barclays Premier\nLeague roster along with countless other players from Asia to Europe to the\nAmericas appear to have been the subjects of 3D head scans that are in use in\nFIFA 19. The bigger the league and player, the more faithfully he or she is\nrecreated in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports FIFA 19 has over a hundred stadiums. This includes all of the Barclays Premier League 2018\/19 &nbsp;club grounds, most of those in Spain\u2019s La Liga, some of the best-known ones from Italy, Germany and France and a smattering of major venues from around the world including the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA. Each has been reproduced in tremendous detail that includes lighting, varying field conditions and crowd proximity to the pitch. Fan in the stands now show off a wide array of animations including selfie-taking and an array of emotions based on how their team is performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jlvid_container \"><iframe title=\"EA Sports FIFA 19 Career Mode Start\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P3wjiMXJ0XI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports FIFA has long been admired for its realism in presentation. FIFA 19 continues the tradition and excels at it in all of its licensed leagues. Official overlays are present and often better done than by broadcasters. For example, each English Premier League match shows lineups with video animations of the starting elevens with commentary on the form of select players. The same is done for La Liga this time out in the same manner as US broadcaster beIN Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that the UEFA Champions League is part of\nthe FIFA series we were curious to see if EA Sports could capture the ambience\nof the world\u2019s biggest club football competition. Previous UCL license holder\nPro Evolution Soccer did a fine job at it. EA Sports may have bettered them\nwith a Champions League presentation package that makes you wonder if you\u2019re\nwatching at European games on a high definition television. From the player\nwalkouts to pre-match pageantry to the lineups, FIFA 19 reproduces it all. You\ncan also feel the difference in play and fan support as you meet with teams\nfrom different leagues with different footballing cultures. We\u2019ve included a\nfew gameplay videos along the way for you to get a sense of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/5wTJTZkGb30JuYYfz7vbDL\" target=\"_blank\">EA Sports FIFA 19 soundtrack<\/a> includes no less than forty-four upbeat jams from around the globe that will keep you vibing in between games. Nothing on it is played out and, as usual, there is a preference for up and coming artists and collaborations. There are some well-known acts in the mix, however. They include Childish Gambino, Gorillaz, Logic and supergroup LSD (Labrinth, Sia &amp; Diplo). Imagine Dragons, CHVRCHES, Logic, Jungle, and Brazilian MC Emicida designed kits that are included in the Ultimate Team section of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-madrid-2018-2019-ad-das-EA-Sports-fourth-kit-10.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-madrid-2018-2019-ad-das-EA-Sports-fourth-kit-10-550x301.jpg\" alt=\"Real Madrid 2018 2019 adidas EA Sports FIFA 19 FUT Fourth Football Kit, Soccer Jersey, Shirt, Camiseta, Camisa, Equipacion, Maillot, Trikot, Tenue, Camisola, Dres\" class=\"wp-image-105436 lazyload\" width=\"682\" height=\"373\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-madrid-2018-2019-ad-das-EA-Sports-fourth-kit-10-550x301.jpg 550w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-madrid-2018-2019-ad-das-EA-Sports-fourth-kit-10-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-madrid-2018-2019-ad-das-EA-Sports-fourth-kit-10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Teams and Leagues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIFA 19 delivers soccer lover\u2019s annual fare of\nlicensed (no option files as in Pro Evolution Soccer needed) leagues and\ndomestic cups along with a host of men\u2019s and women\u2019s national teams. In all\nFIFA 19 includes 36 leagues including ALL of the majors European, Asian and\nNorth American ones. Notables in the mix are the Barclays Premier League,\nEnglish FA Cup, the German Bundesliga, Spain\u2019s La Liga, the Japanese J1 League\nand Major League Soccer. The footballing pyramid for England goes to the fourth\ntier while that in Germany runs three divisions deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only gaps in FIFA 19\u2019s league repertoire are in the Campeonato Brasileiro S\u00e9rie A and Superliga Argentina de F\u00fatbol. Brazil\u2019s top flight is missing a number of big clubs including champions Palmeiras, Corinthians and Sao Paulo FC because of exclusivity deals with Konami for PES 2019. Player names are also manufactured for S\u00e9rie A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-4-550x309.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106453 lazyload\" width=\"641\" height=\"360\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-4-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boca Juniors is called \u201cBuenos Aires\u201d and lacks\nthe club\u2019s Nike kits because of Pro Evo licensing reasons as well. The real\nplayer names and appearances are used however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the national team front arguably the 14 best\nwomen\u2019s side appear in FIFA 19 during the year of the Women\u2019s World Cup. Brazil\nhas authentic kits but generic player names and likenesses sadly, so we can\u2019t\nplay as Marta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same issue occurs for the Brazilian men\u2019s\nteam as well where a team of highly-rated fabricated players join Neymar on the\npitch. This can be fixed easily by editing the lineup and replacing the made-up\nballers with the likes of Coutinho, Ederson and Willian. C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire and\nParaguay also have a mix of actual and generics for some reason. All of the\nother men\u2019s national sides have real player names and likenesses with about two\nthirds of the 48 national teams boasting the current kits of their federation\u2019s\ntechnical sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports FIFA 19 has over 700 teams that you\ncan play as in total. That\u2019s an impressive roster once again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIFA 19 English language commentary for domestic\nleague play is once again provided by the tried and tested duo of Martin Tyler\nand retired Arsenal striker Alan Smith. In a refreshing development, Derek Rae\nand Lee Dixon (also a former Arsenal stalwart) add color to UEFA Champions\nLeague and Europa League matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both duos provide good insight into the matches,\nplayers and competitions that they\u2019re covering. The intelligence that FIFA 19\nuses to create commentary from the pundit\u2019s database of phrases results in a\ngood offering. The package can get a bit mundane and repetitive after a few\nhours of play however. This is particularly the case for the ex-Arsenal men who\nrecall the same playing experiences over and over in successive matches.\nThere\u2019s always the option to switch to Spanish or French in the North American\nversion of the game if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Journey\u201d, the brilliant soccer player role-playing section of EA Sports FIFA since the 2017 incarnation of the game, is back for what\u2019s reportedly a final run in the form that we know it. Called \u201cThe Journey: Champions\u201d in FIFA 19, it has been morphed into a deep and immersive experience that lets you play as protagonist Alex Hunter as his transfer to Real Madrid finally come through, his sister Kim as a United States national team starlet, or less skilled friend Danny Williams plying his trade in England. What\u2019s brilliant is that you can switch characters if you\u2019re tired as playing as any one of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-3-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106452 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-3-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-3-290x290.jpg 290w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-3-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storyline in the game is largely dictated by your chosen player\u2019s performance in training and on the pitch. To a less extent it is determined by the character type that you chose (Fiery, Balanced or Cool) via responses to reporter questions and interactions with others in the game. As with previous versions of \u201cThe Journey\u201d there are quite a few unexpected plot twists along with appearances by world football luminaries. Neymar Jr., Alex Morgan, Paulo Dybala, Kevin and De Bruyne pop-up along the way in FIFA 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jlvid_container \"><iframe title=\"EA Sports FIFA 19 The Journey: Champions Opening Scenes and 1960s Football Match\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L7mcwV5QjfU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you play \u201cThe Journey: Champions\u201d as Alex Hunter at Real Madrid there is a new feature that allows him to select a group of \u201cMentors\u201d that he can pick up skills from. We selected a set of players that included Luka Modric and Marcelo. Hunter gets to enjoy keep away sessions with his mentors and to identify one as his main mentor. You can also play as the mentors during matches. With this option you can control only Alex and his mentors during games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tried out Modric in order to better Hunter\u2019s\npassing skills. Ultimately, they were increased particularly after a training\nchallenge against Modric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gameplay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The days of gameplay overhauls in the FIFA EA\nSports series are now seemingly behind us. The title has been a gem in terms of\ngameplay for the past five years and really is now in the realm of being fine-tuned\nto provide more intricate realism. The new additions of Active Touch, 50\/50\nBattles, Timed Finishes and better player motion are integral to the gameplay\nupdates in FIFA 19. We\u2019ve also encountered some notable other updates that\nwe\u2019ll now discuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Level Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The usual levels of Beginner, Amateur, Semi-Pro,\nProfessional, World Class and Legendary are back in flight in EA Sports FIFA\n19. The first three are best for new players while seasoned FIFA games can go\nstraight into Professional to get the vibe of the FIFA 19\u2019s gameplay. The level\nof difficulty in Professional and higher is the same as in FIFA 18. Semi-Pro\ndoes seem a little harder than the last couple of times out though with wins\nnot guaranteed against four- and five-star teams unless you\u2019re playing as a\nside that is rated at least three stars. Bring on Real Madrid if you\u2019re playing\nas Wayne Rooney and DC United in Semi-Pro mode!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Game Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The speed of play in EA Sports FIFA 19 is on par\nwith what we saw in FIFA 18. We think that it\u2019s quite realistic and doesn\u2019t\nrequire any adjustment (although you can speed it up if you\u2019d like). As in real\nlife, field conditions do affect the speed of the ball with rain, snow and worn-down\nlower league pitches slowing down the ball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve seen some reports of the game speed in FIFA19 being slower this time out. We do not agree. The video below shows an FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Manchester United in FIFA 19. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gFaRaSKzCEQ\" target=\"_blank\">Here\u2019s one of the FA Cup Final in FIFA 18 for game speed comparison purposes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jlvid_container \"><iframe title=\"EA Sports FIFA 19 FA Cup Final Gameplay - Manchester United vs. Manchester City\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LbszBtjFp1I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dribbling and Skills Moves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability for players to dribble past\ndefenders and execute fancy skills moves have always been present in EA Sports\nFIFA. Being able to pull of either in Professional level and up has varied from\nbeing almost impossible to somewhat up to chance through the years. Things got\nslightly easier in FIFA 18. To our surprise FIFA 19 lets skilled players such\nas Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Hazard and Griezmann beat defenders in Pro level\nabout 50% of the time if skill moves are well-timed and carefully done. This\nusually works for beating one player at a time and when followed by a pass and\nmove maneuver. Hold on to the ball and any top division defender will recover\nand strip you of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Offense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest offensive change that we\u2019ve seen in\nEA Sports FIFA 19 is the effectiveness of medium range shots from just outside\nthe penalty box facing the goal. The new Timed Finishing update definitely\nhelps with this as skilled midfielders and those that you may have developed\nvia training have been seen to score many a goal on one touch shots from around\n18 yards out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closer range shots also benefit from Timed\nFinishing to a lesser extent. You do have to jostle with defenders along the\nway however. This complicates matters since they close down your space rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offensive support from midfielders dashing into the penalty box to collect passes and crosses continues to improve as it has done over the last three iterations of EA Sports FIFA. We\u2019ve seen our fair share of surprises in which even defensive midfielders make runs in front of goal looking for tap ins and shots. This is more so when your main tactic is set to Balanced, Attacking or Ultra-Attacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"417\" height=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-2-417x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106451 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-2-417x400.jpg 417w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-2-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ea-sports-fifa-19-review-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new 50\/50 Battles brings defense into the midfield\nmore than ever in FIFA 19. It is quite realistic in that midfielders quickly\nclose down opponents in possession and seek to win the ball from them via\ntackles, jostles and getting their bodies in between their opposite numbers and\nthe precious ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIFA 18 introduced a high level of defensive\nteamwork that saw midfielders and defenders working together to intercept balls\nand break up attacks. This continues in FIFA 19. However, the ability to\neffectively engage in man-on-man defense that was all but absent in FIFA 18 is\nback in FIFA 19. You can now win the ball again with the square and X buttons\nif you time your tackles right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Refereeing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Referees come with all degrees of temperaments\nand tolerance levels in EA Sports FIFA 19. As in real world soccer, you get a\nfeel for them early on in the match and adjust your aggression accordingly.\nRash tackles are sure to earn yellow cards but we\u2019ve seen a few shock red cards\nfor seemingly innocuous challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A point of frustration with the refereeing in FIFA 19 is how infrequently they award penalties. We\u2019ve been the victims of all manner of dirty tackles in the box over the course of an entire English Premier League and UEFA Champions League season. The net result of them were a mere two penalty shot awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jlvid_container \"><iframe title=\"EA Sports FIFA 19 Transfer Negotiations with Jose Mourinho\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q6eBZK8YjUQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Replay Value<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports FIFA 19\u2019s replay value is second to\nnone. There is enough in it to keep any footie gamer occupied until FIFA 20 is\nreleased next fall. From the host of league and cups to the UEFA Champions\nLeague to international tournament\u2019s it is all there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add in the The Journey: Champions, FIFA Ultimate\nTeam and online play and you\u2019ve essentially got three more games on top of the\ncore if FIFA. This makes FIFA 19 at full, thorough one-year experience for any\nfan of the franchise. More casual gamers can probably enjoy it for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brilliantly updated, engrossing, full of authenticity, overflowing with game options, EA Sports FIFA 19 is the complete soccer simulation package. Its realism is second to none thanks to its fantastic gameplay and world class presentation. It is a must for fans of The Beautiful Game during the 2018\/19 football season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jlvid_container \"><iframe title=\"EA Sports FIFA 19 Barclays Premier League Champions Trophy Presentation and Celebrations\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XGDIsrX6XJo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Gameplay: 9.9 \/10<\/strong><br><strong>Graphics: 9.7 \/10<\/strong><br><strong>User Interface: 9.4\/ 10<\/strong><br><strong>Realism: 9.8 \/ 10<\/strong><br><strong>Longevity: 10 \/ 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldsoccershop.com\/?utm_source=FootballFashion&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=FootballFashion%20Affiliate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/footballfashion.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/wss-2019-2019-kits-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\"><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EA Sports FIFA 19 is now out and the subject of hours of gaming action on consoles and computers worldwide!
