FIFA 19 Reviews
FIFA 19 is the finest playing game in the series. The Journey may be after running its course, but the fluid representation of football, the added element of Dynamic Tactics, and the madness of the updated Kick Off mode are all wonderful.
FIFA 19 is another great title in a long list of fine soccer experiences. The controls are smoother, the game modes are even more expansive, and UEFA integration means more chances to become a champion. A formidable upgrade for FIFA as a whole.
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.
With new shooting options, the Champions League and a madcap no-rules mode, the era's defining sports sim tots up another win
Is the gameplay fun? Sure, but it's largely the same as last year. Career mode gets Champions League branding but nothing else noteworthy. Pro Clubs and Seasons get ignored. The Journey is fun, but cannot make up for the rest of the largely ignored modes. If you love FUT, you'll love this game. Otherwise, it just isn't worth banging your head against the wall for another year of much of the same. The rating might seem harsh, but when you've played this same game the last couple of years, you get tired of it.
Time will tell if FIFA 19's new gameplay additions serve to lift the franchise above the arcade-sim hybrid that it's turned into in recent years, but its stunning lack of game mode changes is disappointing.
It's the best FIFA yet, but you assumed that already, didn't you?
Despite the lack of career mode improvements, FIFA 19 is a faithful representation of the sport we know and love, complete with unparalleled bells and whistles. But it falls a bit short of the mark of being the definitive experience we had hoped for this year.
Truly egregious commentary aside, FIFA 19 is another winner for EA Sports. The improvements over last year's entry are subtle but many, resulting in a footie sim that feels incredibly refined. Better balance across the pitch opens options for more tactical play, and there's more nuance to explore than ever before. More casual FIFA players may not see the difference immediately, but there's a deliberate intricacy to FIFA 19, and it's enough to keep the series in top form.
FIFA 19 is still an accessible and exciting football simulator with an interesting modes, including a good story with three heroes.

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.
Football is a game of two halves. It’s been that way for a while and, for a long time, the FIFA series has offered a fun rendition of the sport in a digital world. With FIFA 19 they look to add a bit more to it, with a level of customisation to the games not seen before in the series.
While the underwhelming finale of Alex Hunter story and the lack of meaningful changes seen by some of the modes will be frustrating for some fans, FIFA 19 is generally a huge step forward for the series and shines in the ways that matter most. Ultimate Team has been made more appealing by a fairer and more rewarding structure, but it's the gameplay changes that add fluidity, precision, and reliability to the play that make FIFA 19 the best game the series has seen this generation.
FIFA 19 is a great game, packed with plenty of detail. It isn't a huge step forward in terms of raw gameplay, but the sheer amount of stuff to do will mean you keep coming back for more.
At the end of the day, FIFA 19 is yet another crisp, clean, and innovative offering from EA.
'FIFA 19' is a well-designed if completely unsurprising soccer game.
When it comes to virtual soccer, FIFA 19 is the clear leader of the pack, with what is arguably the best entry in years.
In general FIFA 19 came to sweep in almost all fields in which it competes with PES 2019, without this meaning that it is better game. For the fans it will be a great experience and for those who have just arrived, they will find a very complete product that will give them hours of fun.

FIFA 19 has a lot of content and features to entertain players offline and online for hours. It still has authenticity with what is needed to let us feel we have conrol over a broadcasted football game. It is a better version than FIFA 18 but it is still too keen on delivering a too spectacular soccer experience at all cost.

FIFA 19 is one of the most satisfying games in the series yet. The addition of the UEFA Champions League adds some excitement to everything, even if it artificially bloats the overly long final chapter in The Journey. Subtle but meaningful tweaks to the gameplay make it both flashier and more physical than last year's edition while still retaining that good ol' fashioned FIFA feel, and the new modes and stat-tracking tools added to Kick Off are great, even if they're relegated to local play.
