FIFA 19 is majorly about the gameplay. Featuring Cristiano Ronaldo alongside Neymar as cover stars, FIFA 19 has generally improved the overall gameplay as compared to the previous series. For instance, tapping circle the moment your foot gets a touch on the ball highly increases your chances of blitzing it into the top-most corner, timing is key, of which wrong timing would, however, result in a scuffed shot.
Game plans are also a new feature, which enables you to pre-set prior to a match. You are able to pre-set strategies for your team depending on specific conditions such as if they’re losing or 1-0 up! Assign all your plans to a D-pad press and nothing more.
Moreover, you’re able to adjust the width and depth of your team, alongside instructing your full backs while in an attack the type of runs to make or your center back to cover specific pitch areas, a new embedded feature.
With constant pressure, pressure on heavy touch, drop back and pressure after possession loss, there’s definitely much more control over the defensive style of your team.
A restructured minimap with distinctive triangle and circle options helps differentiate who’s who. FIFA 19 featuring the Champions League for the first time ever is the hallmark of the game, with the ability to create custom tournaments, alongside the commentary team of Lee Dixon and Derek Rae. The Europa league is also present too, with the full broadcast.
General gameplay has been reworked too with additional features of feint attack, stepovers, and 50/50 battles. Amazing!
