During the presentation to the FIFA 19 press held at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, Sam Rivera, Electronic Arts’s Lead Gameplay Producer, made some statements about the passage of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus.
“I think it’s going to be tough,” Rivera admitted when asked how he thought Real Madrid fans would react to this new cover. “Ronaldo is an amazing player. Just look at his performance in the World Cup, that game against Spain. So yeah, it’s big news for everybody. For us what it means is we need to go back to work […] everything in the game to make sure Ronaldo shows in an updated jersey. We just need to go and check every single place of the game were Ronaldo was to make sure everything is fine.”
According to these statements, Electronic Arts did not find itself unprepared and therefore the release of the new simulator will not be delayed.
FIFA 19 is expected on September 28, 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch. Keep on following us also through our social Facebook and Twitter for other news and information.
