The review we are about to present was certainly one of the most articulate to write given the countless new content available in FIFA 19.
This new chapter of the series is undoubtedly the most substantial and important work of Electronic Arts in recent years.
The UEFA Champions League is the undisputed dream of every player who sees in the big-eared cup a point of arrival as the crowning achievement of his career.
At the first start we are immediately catapulted into the atmosphere of the most important European competition and we can have a first approach with the new gameplay that from the first moments of play gives the feeling of being very different from that present in previous editions.
Kick Off …
One of the main novelties of FIFA 19 is the renewed kick-off mode, a complete revolution that will allow us to play both off-line and on-line gambling types that will guarantee hours and hours of entertainment.
In addition to giving us the chance to play the Champions League, we will have the opportunity to play games according to our rules, the funny Survival mode or the surreal No Rules matches where no sanctions are whistled.

Catapulted on the playing field …
At kick-off we can feel a certain “heaviness” of the ball rolling on the field of play and a provision in the field of football players who occupy the various areas of the playing field in a careful manner. This detail, apparently obvious, in reality it is not, especially for those who played FIFA 18 and many times has experienced a feeling of impotence against the attacks that often came to an undisturbed draw.
The new sensations of the gameplay make it clear that Electronic Arts has decided to change broken compared to previous chapters of the series, bringing FIFA 19 to a higher level of simulation. The speed does not seem to be more a predominant factor of the game, now the physical strength and the individual technique of the 22 in the field goes to greatly affect the various areas of the field. With the right mix in midfield between muscular strength and superfine technique you can guarantee greater coverage in defense and greater creativity in the construction phase of the offensive maneuver.
One aspect that enhances the simulation is also the aggressiveness of artificial intelligence, a feature also found in real football where we see pressing asphyxiating to stop the game from being born.
A new series of animations and the new Active touch system determine a new management of the ball and how each touch of the ball is processed by individual players taking advantage of the individual technical characteristics in each area of the field. This introduction guarantees greater fluidity and emphasizes the physical movements of the players who play on the pitch.
Electronic Arts has not focused its attention only on fluidity, great attention has also been given to the system of finalization with the introduction of Timed Finishing. This new feature of the game will give the opportunity to make more “clean” conclusions and to exploit it in the best way we will need a few more moments to conclude the network. We liked this novelty, if on the one hand it made the classic shot no longer irresistible for goalkeepers on the other the Timed Finishing is very well balanced. In fact, Striking the ball with perfect timing will not guarantee a goal.
This new system of finalization has brought an area of freshness also in the choral maneuver of the team game this because we are brought to serve the attacker on duty in the most favorable condition possible to be able to conclude on the net.
The tactic is everything in modern football …….
Another great new feature of the gameplay is the new dynamic tactics. During real games, we often see coaches making tactical changes that often determine the final result of an important match.
With the new tactics menus we will have access to more detailed information and will allow us to modify different forms, attitudes and game principles based on the game’s progress allowing us to avoid pausing and changing everything with the few seconds available.
In short, another decisive step towards simulation.
The Journey has reached the end …
With the third chapter of The Journey: Champions ends the story of the young star of world football Alex Hunter who like every professional footballer has the great dream of being able to raise the cup with big ears, a dream not impossible since he will wear the shirt of Real Madrid, the most prestigious club in the world.
The cinematic aspect of The Journey associated with the engaging atmosphere of the Champions Legue guarantees hours of play full of suspense during all four chapters that make up the story.
This time sister Kim Hunter and the best friend Danny Williams are not mere extras but in fact become co-stars.
We will have the opportunity to embody each character and the choices we make will determine changes in their careers and their journey to the UEFA Champions League conquest or their national experience.
Ultimate Team even richer …
Certainly they could not miss the news for the most famous and played mode of the EA Sports FIFA series.
The declared objective is to create greater involvement and a decisive step towards the eSports world, for this reason the introduction of the Division Rivals is decisive for achieving the goal.
The Division Rivals while remaining a copetition quite distinct from the others present in FUT at the same time remains firmly linked to the FUT Champions Weekend League.
Thanks to this important news, fans of the series can spend hours of play and receive juicy rewards without being forced to participate in the Weekend League. In fact, Electronic Arts has managed to create two different worlds that will manage at the same time to avoid moments of frustration for gamers looking for moments of relaxation and instead a stage dedicated to eSports competitions for the most aggressive and strong gamers.
From the desk to the playing field …
Also in FIFA 19 the career is set according to the managerial aspect of the Premier League, once in command of a team you will find yourself managing both the economic aspects and the negotiations to engage or yield the players and the technical tactical aspect.
Even if no radical changes have been made, the changes are actually starting from the management of transfer budgets from one season to the next, which will be subject to fluctuations based on the results achieved in the field, and the atmosphere of an important competition like the Champions League. League and other European cups gives new life to a mode that in fact does not require major changes, let’s not forget that the career in FIFA is intended to make you live the field for most hours of play. Purely managerial aspects make little sense in a game like this, if you are looking for a simulative trainer career to handle managerial aspects of a company there is Football Manager which has very different purposes than FIFA.
The only sore point …
The Pro Club has remained almost identical to the version seen in FIFA 18, a mode that does not really capture the attention of much of the community and probably from here the choice of Electronic Arts not to allocate many resources for development. A bite difficult to send down for fans of this mode that every year try to do even the impossible to organize national and international competitions to recreate the Canadian software house.
