The biggest franchise in football games is set to release their latest edition of the game this September. EA Sports FIFA 19 will be releasing on September 29, 2018 for PS4, Xbox One & PC. Every year FIFA fans expect something new & fresh from the game. This year, EA has made sure to not let down their fans. Many new things have been added to the game. But the biggest addition is the inclusion of UEFA Champions League.
With UCL & UEL being the prime new feature, there are many more things that have been changed in FIFA 19. In this article, we look at 10 amazing features that make FIFA 19 a must buy:-
#10 Official Serie A & La Liga Licenses
The Italian League on was called 'Calcio A' on FIFA 17 and 18. That's because EA didn't have the official licenses for the league. But for FIFA 19, EA has announced that they have obtained the license for the leagues. That means that we will now have the 'Serie A' & 'Serie B' in the game along with the whole broadcast package.
EA also announced that they will make changes to La Liga - with 16 new stadiums (apart from Nou Camp) and over 200 new player faces.
With EA's acquisition of these licenses, FIFA 19 will be more real than ever.
#9 UEFA Champions League & Europa League Licenses
As previously stated, FIFA 19 now has the official license for the UEFA Champions League as well as the UEFA Europa League. Till last year, Konami had the rights for UCL and players on FIFA always missed this feature. But finally they will be able to play the competition as Champions League and not "Champions Cup". UCL & UEL will be available in Kick-Off as well as Career Mode.
#8 New Commentary Team
One change that FIFA fans have been demanding EA to make is the commentary. For years FIFA has had the same commentary with Martin Tyler & Alan Smith. It always feels repetitive as EA doesn't do a good job of adding new lines every year.
But this year, we will finally get new commentators. Whenever you'll play Champions League or Europa League, we will hear the team of Lee Dixon & Derek Rae. This new commentary team will definitely add freshness to the UCL gameplay. Fans would not have liked the old commentary for this new mode.
You can watch the Beta gameplay of FIFA 19 with the new commentary in the video above.
#7 The Journey: Champions
EA added The Journey as a new mode back in FIFA 17. We saw a guy Alex Hunter, trying to become a known footballer. Then in FIFA 18, the story continued with Hunter achieving big things and also getting linked to Los Blancos. This year will be the finale of The Journey. With the addition of UCL, Hunter will now chase European glory with Real Madrid. The objective will be to win Real their 14th Champions League Title.
#6 The All New Tactics
With FIFA 19, EA has decided to dive deep into the game of tactics. They announced a new feature called "Dynamic Tactics". This will allow the players to chose the exact way in which they want to play their team both before and during the matches.
Features like Park The Bus & All-Out Attack can now be further adjusted according to your needs. But one drawback is that they won't be available as in-game options.
#5 Timed Finishing
We all know FIFA 18 had overpowered shots & it was not to difficult to score from long range. In an attempt to fix that, EA has introduced a feature called "Timed Finishing" in FIFA 19. In order to make sure the final shot is timed perfectly, we will have to press the shoot button twice.
The difference between normal shooting and timed shooting is simple. First tap is like we usually do. But the next tap has to be timed in order to get a good shot. If the timing is poor, the shot will be worse. You can use FIFA Trainer to see the bar and if you get the second tap in the "green zone", it'll result in an impressive shot.
#4 Active Touch System
Features like this don't always matter. But when they do, it can be game-changing. EA calls this new feature "Active Touch". They claim that the game now has multiple new animations for the first touch. That means you can control the way how your player receives a pass. This is a nice little addition as it will create some unpredictability about how you react while receiving the ball.
#3 Secretive Goal Kicks
This feature is one of my personal favorites. Many players get annoyed when they have to take a short goal kick in FIFA. In whichever direction you decide to pass, the camera swings in that direction and your friend knows where the ball is going. So it's easy to intercept. But in FIFA 19, EA has removed this feature. Now, moving the stick from a goal kick doesn't move the camera. So it's good for all players who like to emulate Guardiola style in their game.
#2 Mini-Map Magic, Running Patterns & Secondary Play- Makers
These two little additions could be very beneficial for the FIFA 19 gameplay:-
1) Mini Map Magic:- The minimap in FIFA will now represent one team players with a circle and other with a triangle. That's great because sometimes it used to get mixed up with the same shape & color.
2) Running Patterns:- We can now command the full backs to either overlap the winger or underlap to the center of the pitch. This option will be available in Team Management.
#1 The All New KickOff Mode
The most anticipated feature of FIFA 19 is the all-new Kick-Off mode. EA has added a variety of ways we can play the matches directly from Kick-Off. For starters, UEFA Champions League & Europa League can be played as Kick-Off or Custom Tournament. You can either play the whole competition or go straight to the final.
The following are the rest of the additions to the Kick-Off Mode:-
1) House Rules:- In this mode, you can make your own rules or have no rules at all. This is further broken down into modes like Survival, No Rules, Long Range etc.
2) Best of Series:- You can play in the best of three or best of five to determine the overall winner of the series.
3) Home & Away:- You can play a fixture over two legs where the winner will be decided b the aggregate score.
4) Cup Finals:- Along with UCL & UEL, you can also play any other cup final directly from the Kick-Off mode.
With all these new additions, FIFA certainly looks well improved this year.
