They're dreadful, people should just stop buying/playing footy games it's the only way they'll change. Look at what EA did years back when FIFA was absolute shite, no-one was buying it, and it forced them back to the drawing board.

Haven't played FIFA seriously in a very long time.

Does anyone actually play games anymore? It seems to me like most people seem to just open "packs" and organise their team.

In as ever. Ultimate Team is just too addictive and fun. If it passed you by, that's a shame, it's easily the best thing to happen to FIFA, you would have loved it as a kid, it's just such a social game mode that it's amazing to play if you've got a group of friends on there. You do have to put hours into it which is what you want if you've got nothing better to do (like me, obviously).

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #7 on:** July 28, 2018, 05:04:33 pm »

Gonna try and avoid it this year. Sank way too much time into Ultimate Team in 16 & 18 when I could have been doing more useful things like exercise or masturbate.

It was a decent mode, particularly when it first released and had the sticker book collection vibe, now it's the biggest pay to win scam going. EA don't particularly help themselves by oversaturating the game with OP special cards, that again, unless you're really lucky, you have to pay for. Chemistry needs a massive overhaul too, but the way I want it (players building up chemistry by playing with each other for sustained periods, or having previously played together) would result in less packs being bought. And ultimately that's what the mode's all about these days.

This year was probably the easiest it has been to get a boss team and special players I thought. You really didn't need to put any money into it.

It's still a crazy mode that is built around trying to get people to buy packs for sure. Just the social aspect and team-building (always the best part of footy games, whether manager mode or master league) bits are so much fun.

Can't beat Pro Clubs either.

That gameplay vid could easily be from 18.

Doesn’t look like they’ve added anything new gameplay wise and just updated the menus.

Actually enjoying the beta.

The champions league presentation is boss, new commentary team is much better as well.

Not got the last 2 games as I feel its stagnating a load and EA are only arsed about Ultimate Team, may give this one a go once I see how people are rating it. I miss when career mode was the best part!

Exactly the same. I don't want to play against a load of rich kids who have all day and all night to perfect there line up. I want to play single career mode and work my way up through the ranks.

Makes you think WTF do they do throughout the year. Tens of Millions being spent on virtual currency, and nothing being changed in the offline modes apart from minor visual tweaks. The three changes EA wanted to boost about are diabolical.

Quote

"In terms of Career Mode, we decided to make sure the experience with the Champions League was 100% authentic," FIFA 19's lead gameplay producer, Sam Rivera, told GameSpot at Gamescom 2018. "When it's Champions League day, everything changes--[there's a] reskin. That was our highest priority.

"But we are listening to our fans. They've been requesting more stuff, bigger stuff, in terms of Career Mode [and] in terms of Pro Clubs. There's discussions right now to see what can be added in the future. We know it's a very passionate community. At the moment, that's all we're announcing for those modes. We are actively having conversations, listening to [the community] to see what else we can bring to those modes."

When pressed on what would be coming to FIFA 19 specifically with regards to those modes, Rivera replied: "It's mainly the Champions League integration." Later in the interview, EA confirmed Champions League is not integrated into Pro Clubs, but that other licensed leagues are. More licenses, yet to be announced, will also come to both modes in the final game.

Following the interview, EA reached out to GameSpot to speak of three new features coming to Career Mode. Those three features are new locker room cutscenes, the integration of Ultimate difficulty (which was previously only available in Ultimate Team), and the addition of a star above your club badge if your team wins the Champions League. No new features of any kind were mentioned for Pro Clubs.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #17 on:** August 22, 2018, 07:46:56 pm »

Pro Clubs is one of the most criminally undervalued modes, by it's own developer. They really could turn it into another cash cow, if they had the inclination.

Announcing loads of legend cards today.

Lots of good cards but f me how many united players have their been?

Not bothering with ultimate team this year anyhow

I've been a good boy · « **Reply #19 on:** September 13, 2018, 10:09:19 pm »

Played 2 mins on the demo and got bored. Think I'll wait until FIFA 20.

Chalky Boots · « **Reply #20 on:** September 13, 2018, 11:25:25 pm »

Feels like they've changed things. Graphics look better on close ups, dribbling is better but balanced. Crossing might be OP this year but I think the change to tactics might be huge. CDM covering wide & playing inverted fullbacks & target wingers along with the new tactics set up might make a huge change to online tactics, especially in Ultimate team. Perfect shot is interesting, could imagine prime Gerrard being somewhat like his real life self this year.

Negatives so far, AI goalkeeping looks questionable and I'm not a fan of the new goalkicks as I have no idea where I'm aiming things.

Demo was a huge deal maker/breaker for me this year. Haven't enjoyed any of the last 5 FIFA's - especially post October patch but if it's like this I'm definitely buying.

18 was the first fifa i've played in ages, got it with my PS Pro, and even though i've played it a lot, it wasn't good. Probably played it a lot because i hadn't bought a fifa in a while ... played the demo for this and got to say, i'm pretty impressed. Liked some of the new gameplay features, seems fairly slick, will probably buy it unfortunately, though i'd prefer not to give money to EA,

Quote from: Chalky Boots on September 13, 2018, 11:25:25 pm

Perfect shot is interesting,

it is. played as juve on my first game. difficulty was amateur by default, but i scored an absolute ridiculous goal with mandzukic off a first time shot form about 25-30 yards out. first time shots in fifa have always been fairly shit and inconsistent, so it's a decent addition

GiorgosCarraGoonies · « **Reply #22 on:** September 17, 2018, 10:15:48 pm »

Demo is surprisingly good, looking forward to it now.

Looks like Juve will be the online go to team this year for the 10 year olds.

They're fucking quality on this and Madrid are surprisingly shite.

XabiGerrard · « **Reply #24 on:** September 20, 2018, 09:43:04 am »

Not a fan of the commentary selection for the champions league games on the demo. Can it be changed in the full game?

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #25 on:** September 20, 2018, 05:47:19 pm »

Just when I thought they couldn't make the game worse, they pull out this steaming turd.

Zero gravity football.

ScottScott · « **Reply #26 on:** September 21, 2018, 12:17:26 pm »

I'm enjoying it a lot. Defending takes some getting used to but once it clicks it's a good game. Much better than last year's offering as well which was so so bad

I'd prefer Pro Evo but on the X1 you can't do the Option Files so that's a no go but this is very good

Same boat as you. Loved the last two Pro Evos but just CBA with not having option files any more. At least this does seem decent (from the demo) and I'm definitely buying it next week.

XabiGerrard · « **Reply #28 on:** September 21, 2018, 02:37:24 pm »

Played a few games of pro clubs on it last night and found it to be even more pinball like than previous games. The flight of the ball seems off to me and also how it holds up at times like you’re playing on a boggy pitch

Scratch that, bought it today. Yeeeeooooo for credit cards!

Rosario · « **Reply #30 on:** September 22, 2018, 01:10:14 am »

AI scoring from Corners and Crosses feels way to OP, hopefully that can dial that down a little bit through updates. Also as some others have said the flight of the ball feels strange. I feel like they have gone to Fifa 15 or whatever it was when lofted through balls were way to easy now its almost impossible to use even when on a breakaway with a man advantage.

Mackka · « **Reply #31 on:** September 22, 2018, 11:37:36 pm »

Alright lads, how's it going?

A couple of us from here played a lot of clubs last year on the PS4 (900 games to be exact), we're carrying it on in fifa 19, anyone else interesting in joining?

Add me on PSN - Mackkaa3 if you want to and I'll send the invites out when I get the game on Tuesday.

Been playing the demo, it's pretty decent but not sure about getting the game. Some minor nitpicks are:

-The menus being the same as in FIFA 18.
-Pressing the X button about 100 times in order to play a match.
-Keepers save almost EVERY penalty, no matter what you do.

Didnt play the last one, but picked this one up. First thing i noticed is that volleys are extremely overpowered!

Opponent played a lofted through ball to Eriksen and rather than try and run it in to create a chance he just pinged it on the volley from 35~ yards to score an absolute wordie..

Similar thing happened in my second game to.

Never really understood the criticism of menus being the same, if you have a system that works and is recognised by your fanbase there's not really a need to change it. The X button having to be pressed 100 times is only in the demo version, it's the same every year to force you to see the newest features.

As for the keepers saving penalties, I haven't taken one so I'm not sure, but stuff like that tends to be picked up on and patched pretty soon after release.

I'll probably pick it up after a few weeks.

It'll be people using the new timed finishing. Some of the goals I was scoring on the demo were ridiculous with it. Seemed a bit OP, can imagine someone who has mastered it would be a nightmare to play against.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #38 on:** September 28, 2018, 01:37:32 pm »

It's like they saw us play and just the two overheads from Madrid and went "Let's make a game based around that".

High pressure is ridiculously overpowered, you can barely string two passes against it.

XabiGerrard · « **Reply #39 on:** September 28, 2018, 02:55:17 pm »

This is a really trivial thing but why do they still bring up which language you want each time the game loads, surely should just be on the initial launch?
