To preface my brief review, I will say that I'm a predominantly online player. This is a pretty good installment of FIFA. So far, I feel like FIFA 18has slightly more crisp gameplay, but that is a game that has been through a year of patches. Hopefully FIFA 19 can reach that level.The new menus look really good, and everything seems to be pretty quick & responsive on the PS4.The graphics are pretty similar to FIFA 18, to be honest. The replays look way better due to the "fleshed out" pitch and new audience. Players are more detailed. However, most of this is lost in the typical broadcast camera while playing the game. I actually think the pitch looks slightly worse when in broadcast camera.Gameplay is pretty solid. It doesn't seem to have the issues I read ... MoreTo preface my brief review, I will say that I'm a predominantly online player. This is a pretty good installment of FIFA.

I actually think the pitch looks slightly worse when in broadcast camera.Gameplay is pretty solid. It doesn't seem to have the issues I read about with FIFA 19 on the last gen, but I didn't play it so I cannot speak to this entirely. It definitely plays differently to FIFA 18. Ball control is more realistic, and you can blow by people at high pace. Passes are crisp and the animations look great. Shooting is similar to previous iterations, but there does seem to be a wider range of possible goals (you can score from more angles & positions & ranges). However, it still has the flaws of previous games. There are quite a lot of goals from corners, which is more of a minor concern. A bigger concern is the amount of "WTF" goals, commonly referred to as cluster____ goals. Way too often you'll be left wondering how on earth the ball conveniently fell to the feet of a striker when three people collided, or why two of your defenders managed to run into each other and give up a stupid goal.Ultimate team seems to be somewhat improved. They changed some minor things in how you can generate chemistry between players. They also greatly improved the search functionality for the market; you can now search for specific players.Overall, it's a pretty worthwhile pick up if you play a good amount of FIFA.I am writing this review as a walmart associate for a contest.

Well, another year, another FIFA. One of my biggest gripes with EA Sports is the similarity year in, year out, kits and players may change but you don't get a lot new... Well, it seems that way usually but with small improvements. This year they have included Champions and Europa Leagues along with the normal competitions. The graphics have improved, the gameplay is more realistic and the atmospheres stunning. Working my way through the game today and it's good. It's bloody good. Maybe the purists will find a few mistakes and things not to their liking. I for one thought it a bit unrealistic that most fans wore the same thing! However, that aside, feel the effort that has been put into the game is reasonable. Price? Well 50 for a game that was around 30 (without the ... MoreWell, another year, another FIFA.

I for one thought it a bit unrealistic that most fans wore the same thing! However, that aside, feel the effort that has been put into the game is reasonable. Price? Well 50 for a game that was around 30 (without the extra material) a couple of years ago, is steep for some.. especially if you buy the game year in and year out. But then consider what you are getting for your money. It works out about 1 a week. If you play it all the time, and some will, it's well worth it. They could still do more imho. Again weather conditions are limited, commentary is good, but can be repetitive occasionally. Would like to see more fouls from AI opponents, aggressive behaviour from players, commentators criticising poor refereeing decisions etc. etc. And more variety in the crowd... But then I'm a purist. I rate this 8/10. There is always room for improvement. But on the whole, very good. It certainly wipes the floor with PES in my opinion. Let's see more than 1 update throughout the year though, not just after the January transfer window. A bit more detail next year please.

Once again a poor game. Play 18 for the first time in years last year and not much different from last year except improve graphics. Do not care for the new shooting mechanics and I end up reverting back to the old one. It seems that they cannot make this game to be challenging without cheating which there is a big difference. I mainly play offline FUT mode. The game is so scripted you could pretty much tell the outcome and even the score before the game is finished. There are numerous times when I am controlling a player and I am running to go get a pass and the player runs the opposite direction briefly no apparent reason. If not that the CPU will side the player out of the way so the other team can pass it receive the ball especially when it's in the air. I don't ... MoreOnce again a poor game.

I don't really play this game online but the few times I attended it seems like the matchmaking is broken. I will play with a bronze team and end up playing a team full of gold & special players that rank world over mid eighties. It's sad especially when they pulled people from making Anthem to help with this game. I doubt EA will actually fix any of these issues. Maybe if we all stopped buying this game they will finally fix it. I'm pretty much done with FIFA and EA sports game. I will give PES a try.
