FIFA 19 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

This is the best game if soccer that I ever played with all team world wide and clubs

I enjoyed playing sports video games but this one exceeded my expectations

Great game play. Good graphics. Lots of entertainment

Like my title suggests, FIFA 19 has changed in many ways that separates itself entirely from the last two games that were released. The pacing is a lot better this time around and actually resembles real life soccer. Another difference is that 19 offers slower build up and play style which was never the case for FIFA games. This actually allows the user to strategically plan an attack whereas the past games you could easily storm through the defenders and score. However, there are some issues to the pacing though, I like to say that it's like the turtle catching the rabbit, it'll take forever for you to catch up but it shows. And what's up with the obsession of bicycle kicks? Don't get me wrong they're awesome but enough is enough. Just because Ronaldo did it doesn't mean every single striker would also try it. And last but not least, the defending. It looks a lot harder this year but it doesn't allow the player to use dribbling skills to get past the defender. It looks like no matter what the defender will tackle you and intercept. Overall, it's a good step for EA to be making these changes to the game. I hope they patch correctly in the future. I would recommend this game as always, if you want a good time playing by yourself or with your friends. It is definitely the best looking FIFA game and it definitely shows that the game can be played slowly with strategic planning.

Every year I buy FIFA, this has been the lowest I ever paid. 29.99 for the Physical CD when it was 59.99 elsewhere. It also comes with UEFA CL version where you can compete in champions league with the teams that are qualified for this season. FIFA has improved a lot this season like high end press when defending as well as wide attacks. They still need to work on skills as some are still unrealistic and also goalkeepers able to stop top corner shots repeatedly in single games. Overall it’s still the best soccer gaming.

Many improvements in gameplay make this the best FIFA in years. Now with the Champions League it is complete. The FUT is fun and time consuming. Each week new players are available to buy or trade. My only complaint is that they try to nickel and dime you for new players through micro transactions but you can earn them by playing game as well. This game can take up all your time if you want or you can just jump in for a quick match solo or with a friend couch co op style. If you like soccer games, this is the one to get!

A pretty good update to the FIFA series, with more significant changes compared to previous iterations. Passes, shots are less accurate, mirroring real life football a bit more. Pace is less important, which lends to gameplay that rewards intelligent build up and passing. Defending has changed a bit, and rewards being cautious, blocking off passing lanes, rather than pressuring all the time. (However pressuring on a bad touch is powerful) However, lack of significant updates or even much needed improvements to the career modes is a downer. As usual, FIFA has focused on money minting FUT mode, completely ignoring Be A Pro/Career Mode. (The Journey is more of a scripted story mode, rather than focusing on the footballing improvements)

I love playing FIFA with my friends in offline co-op. It is the sole reason I still buy this game. The gameplay is as fluid as ever. You feel a little more habd holding in terms of controlling your player. The game runs in semi automatic, with some features you can turn off like next man up, which basically allow you to pick a defender closest to the ball. Overall it is a good game, but some online modes like FUT are a grindfest, amd will make you spend your weekend completing challenges and tournaments for a few points. Not for the casual player. I give 4.5 stars to the overall gameplay and 3 stars to the online component because I can see for seasoned players how it can be a fun mode.
