FIFA 19 Reviews
FIFA 19 sees the franchise finally add the long-awaited UEFA Champions League to its considerable list of licensed content along with a steady stream of changes and improvements.
I can't think of a single FIFA game that brought about as many big changes to the series as much as FIFA 19 has. EA has used the Champions League/Europa League license to improve the single-player experience, not to mention the use of special cards in FUT. The gameplay is finally at a point where it strikes the perfect balance between fun and realism. There's also much more depth when it comes to customising your team, allowing you to make your squad play exactly how you want them to using the Dynamic Tactics system. To top it all off, local multiplayer has received the biggest update in years with the new House Rules and stat tracking system that you are able to use anywhere. FIFA 19 is by far my favourite football game of all time, and that's really saying something. With so much content available for every type of player, you'd be crazy to miss out on this one.
The formula behind FIFA’s popularity has always been a balance between accessibility and authenticity of the beautiful game. This time around, FIFA 19 offers some slight gameplay improvements proving that refining a winning formula is the way forward.
FIFA 19 brings in plenty of improvements to existing gameplay mechanics and modes, introduces new ones, and delivers a delightful experience on and off the pitch.
The beautiful game is brought to life in the virtual world yet again with this well presented and visually appealing football game. FIFA 19 is taking a step in the right direction after some time as the technically inferior football game as compared to its only rival. The Journey draws to a somewhat satisfying close, but Goalkeepers are still a blundering phenomenon. However, the gameplay improvements on the rest of the pitch, new editions, and the Champions League are much welcomed and long awaited.
FIFA 19 is back for a new season, but how do its new Kick Off modes, third chapter of The Journey, and new FUT features fare?
FIFA 19 is still an accessible and exciting football simulator with an interesting modes, including a good story with three heroes.

It's a great start, though, and the big match atmosphere is fantastic — bringing these competitions back to FIFA has been something I've been hopeful of for many years, and EA has delivered in spades.
FIFA 19 comes with lots of progressive changes in gameplay but these are actually annoying for the fans and if this trend is going to continue in the upcoming installments, EA would be losing its ace of spades.

While there are improvements in the handheld gameplay, FIFA 19 never really fixes the problems that occurred in FIFA 18.
Sometimes it feels fresh and quite different, but you'll realize it's the same old FIFA once you get used to it.

Last year, FIFA 18 was given a free pass in certain aspects as it was the first FIFA game on a Nintendo console for years and the core gameplay was as good as I wanted it to be. This year, I am not letting FIFA 19 off as easily. Don’t get me wrong, I still have endless amounts of fun playing matches online and my most wanted feature, being able to play online against friends, has been added.
FIFA 19 on Nintendo Switch is a more than correct game, at the same time that it penalizes the limitations it has to compare with the rest of the versions. Even so, it is a complete product and intended for all audiences, which meets more than with the intention of satisfying football to lovers of the king sport of our country.

While the full-fat FIFA 19 experience delivers in spades, the Switch version feels dated and is lacking in key gameplay improvements — even some from years ago. Unfortunately, it's easily the worst way of experiencing FIFA 19 this year.
From the newly-added UEFA Champions League mode, to the updated online that now lets you play with friends, there's plenty to see and do. The top-tier gameplay feels fluid and crisp, the visual upgrades are noticeable, and having the Fifa experience portable is a great feeling. For those who want more than the standard Career modes or love diving into the Ultimate Team this version might not be for you, but if those aren't deal breakers, then Fifa 19 on the Switch is a fantastic way to get your soccer fix.
EA proves it can innovate and not just iterate with their best FIFA offering to date
Career Mode hasn't changed at all and some new mechanics like Time Finishing don't feel great, but gameplay wise, FIFA 19 offers a deep and enjoyable experience. beside that, Ultimate Team is still very engaging and Champions League is definitely a welcome addition to the series.

FIFA 19 is a title that in general, net of some imperfections, really gives us great moments and excellent game actions. The fidelity with which the best known players are played is truly remarkable, and the care of animations is also good and improved. Excellent behavior of the players in relation to their physical characteristics that guarantee a game much closer to reality, albeit always arcade. Pecca instead the physics of the ball that is once again treated with a lot of lightness. Often in fact the ball follows trajectories quite unrealistic and not very credible parables, in addition to the fact that, players like Cristiano Ronaldo, sometimes manage to score from positions not really appropriate to that type of actions. For the rest, however, FIFA remains a fun and enjoyable game, which improves on the gameplay, in actions such as control of the ball and contrasts, as well as in shooting actions. In short, a football perhaps more spectacular than realistic but like and satisfies!

FIFA 19's numerous improvements on and off the pitch mean it overtakes its predecessor as the best football game released on a Nintendo system, and it's still a technical marvel when played in handheld mode. That said, EA's decision not to improve Ultimate Team and Career – arguably the two most popular modes – feel like a missed opportunity. It's better than last year's game, then, but not as much as it could have been. If you're new to FIFA, then add one point to the score below; this is the best soccer game on Switch by a mile. However, if you're a grizzled veteran - as pretty much anyone who is contemplating a purchase is likely to be, given the advanced age of EA's premier sports franchise, then the score stands.
FIFA 19 is an impressive continuation of the series, which tweaks the experience in different places and once again offers players a plethora of modes to enjoy.
