#5 Mixing up the Celebrations

Who doesn't love random celebrations? Wouldn't you love to dab even if the player who has scored isn't a Pogba or the traditional Ronaldo-Messi celebrations being pulled off by other players? Well, FIFA 19 gives you this freedom.

The Circle button on the PS4 controller gives you a random celebration every time you score a goal in FIFA 19, and you heard it right, with any damn player.

This feature was not present, even in the last edition of FIFA, and has been another creative addition in FIFA 19, as EA Sports look to remove every possibility of complacency from the game. Nice Job, EA Sports!

#4 All-new realistic player & manager emotions!

It was a breakthrough last year when FIFA 18 introduced player emotions to the world through their Frostbite engine, but the stakes have gone higher this year.

FIFA 19 has revolutionized the player and even the manager emotions and reactions to improve them to another level. Players show their frustrations on missing out on a goal or even a pass; they show signs of fatigue going into the final half of the game, and managers show signs of encouragement from the touchline when the team needs it.

The statement that FIFA 19 is the most realistic game on the planet right now, certainly holds good.

#3 Skip Celebrations, especially in Online games

Accept the fact - sometimes celebrations can get on the nerve. Especially in times when you are in a rush to finish the game and get on with life but you have to wait until the opposition player in an online game celebrates his goal as if he has just scored a World Cup winner.

In FIFA 19 you can skip these pieces of irritating moments.

In FIFA 18 last year, some portion of the celebrations were a mandatory part of the game, eating up the game time sometimes. But FIFA 19 has added a feature to skip the celebrations to focus on the game ahead.

#2 Foresight in the player switcher

The FIFA 19 demo dropped one of the biggest technical additions to the game. An enhanced in-game player switcher.

With the newly enhanced player switcher, you can now see a pointer over another player, which reflects that he will be the next player that can be controlled, on switching the player manually.

The most important use of this feature is in the Traditional defending when the opposition can get quick passes into your third of the pitch, and you need to get the right players on control, to stop the buildup.

This feature has been inspired by PES and by far, is the most technical feature boasted by FIFA 19.

#1 Your Match. Your Rules.

FIFA 19 has all new kick-off modes

When EA Sports revealed their new kick-off modes in mid-August this year, it sent the fans into a positive meltdown awaiting the release of the game.

And the Demo has hit the right spot by displaying the all new features of the rules we can set in the new Kick-Off mode. You can start the match with a goal advantage or with a deficit. You can set the difficulty of the AI players. This can be especially useful when a player wants to improve on his game playing skills, either in offence or in defence.

It will be interesting to see the other Kick-Off modes when the full version drops this week, especially the feature where every time a team scores, an opposition player leaves the pitch. That, for me, is the highlight of this year's FIFA 19 edition.
