FIFA 19 is the new installment of EA Sports' emblematic and consolidated football videogame saga, designed for consoles such as Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and platforms such as PC. This time, improving the progress seen in its most recent sequel, it presents new features at playable levels in tactical and control terms, more realistic graphics and the entry of the expected UEFA Champions League license.
The Champions is from FIFA.
It is one of the most important claims and novelties of this edition: FIFA already has the rights to the highest and most elite football competition in Europe. The UEFA Champions League moves from its most direct rival, Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer, to the feud of FIFA and EA Sports. The company will thus provide the official license of the Champions to the matches that are played in the tournament, as well as offering all the visual elements in the form of announcements, headers and sounds, such as the famous anthem of the Champions. If you have ever seen a Champions League match on the television, you will recognize all these signs and signals in your games to FIFA 19.
Tactical and playable changes.
FIFA 19 incorporates at the playable level a good number of adjustments within an organization chart of mechanics that does nothing but improve and tone up delivery after delivery. The Active Touch System or active touch system is inaugurated, a system that aims to provide better control, a new dose of creativity, personality for the star players and greater fluidity of play. The intention of EA Sports is that we receive and return the ball in a more credible and live, something that applies to artificial intelligence, which operates differently with respect to FIFA 18.
Our rivals controlled by the AI will be more efficient, forcing us to have to manage with ease at the defensive level, moving naturally between the defenders, who will not run automatically for the ball. We will have to use our intuition to control unmarks, to close passes to the hole and to fight for disputed balls. This change of tone, which eliminates certain automation in transitions, will make matches more organic. The physical of the balls have changed for the better, eliminating certain defects that had been dragging for several deliveries. In relation to this it is necessary to emphasize that the one-on-one duels will be more vibrant, taking into account the behavior and the attributes of the player in question in terms of presence and possibility of taking the ball or not. The body and technique of each athlete will be vital in these boundaries, especially when we are in very disputed balls or dribbles against other players of different size or technique.
