FIFA 19 Game Details:
FIFA 19 is a football simulation video game developed by EA
Vancouver as part of Electronic Arts' FIFA series. Announced on 6 June 2018 for
its E3 2018 press conference, it was released on 28 September 2018 for
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft
Windows. It is the 26th installment in the FIFA series. As with FIFA 18,
Cristiano Ronaldo appears as the cover athlete of the regular edition.
The game features the UEFA club competitions for the first
time, including the UEFA Champions League. Martin Tyler and Alan Smith return as regular
commentators, while the new commentary team of Derek Rae and Lee Dixon feature
in the UEFA competitions mode. Composer Hans Zimmer and rapper Vince Staples
recorded a new remix of the UEFA Champions League anthem specifically for the
game. The character Alex Hunter, who first appeared in FIFA 17 returns for the
third and final installment of "The Journey", entitled, "The
Journey: Champions".
Gameplay:
Gameplay changes on FIFA 19 include the new "Active
Touch System"— an overhaul of player control, "timed finishing"—
where the kick button may be pressed a second time to determine the exact
moment the ball is actually kicked, "50/50 battles"— a system for
determining how likely a player will win loose balls, and "Dynamic
Tactics"— which allows players to configure strategies, and switch between
them in real-time during a match.
FIFA 19 introduces the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa
League and UEFA Super Cup competitions to the game, after their licences with
Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer expired. The game will have support for promotion
and relegation between the Champions League and Europa League. Martin Tyler and
Alan Smith return as regular commentators with Derek Rae and Lee Dixon as
Champions League commentators. Geoff Shreeves also returns as the touchline
reporter as well as Alan McInally providing updates from around the league. New
graphics and stadiums have been implemented.
Composer Hans Zimmer and rapper Vince Staples recorded a new
remix of the UEFA Champions League anthem specifically for FIFA 19. It can also
be heard in the game’s reveal trailer.
The Nintendo Switch port will receive upgrades over FIFA 18.
On 9 June 2018, EA Sports uploaded an official reveal trailer on their YouTube
channel. Cristiano Ronaldo returned as the global cover star for a second
consecutive time. He and Neymar appear on the Champions and Ultimate Edition
packs for the game. It reported that it will include 55 national teams with 35
licensed leagues.
It was confirmed that the game would have a licensed Serie A
after being called "Calcio A" (due to licensing issues) in FIFA 17
and FIFA 18. The game will include the Chinese Super League, the first FIFA
title to do so. However, it was confirmed that the game will not include the
Russian Premier League, as it did in FIFA 18 and previous FIFAs. Russian Premier League teams CSKA Moscow,
Spartak Moscow, and Lokomotiv Moscow were kept, while Dinamo Zagreb, Dynamo
Kyiv, Slavia Praha, and Viktoria Plzen were added to the game. Boca Juniors
appears as Buenos Aires FC in the game since the club signed a deal with Konami;
for the same reasons, Colo-Colo appears as CD Viñazur. Once again, due to
Konami securing deals with certain Brazilian clubs, the Campeonato Brasileiro
Série A is featured in an incomplete form, this time with only 15 clubs, with
the notable omissions of São Paulo, Palmeiras, Corinthians, Flamengo and Vasco
da Gama, all of which are Konami partners. The remaining Brazilian clubs, while
appearing with licensed branding, do not have any of their players licensed due
to an ongoing judicial dispute over image rights, which are negotiated
individually with each player, unlike other countries.
As with every FIFA game there are new skills included, with
Andrés Iniesta’s signature move, La Croqueta, featuring in FIFA 19. 25 new
icons have been added to the Ultimate Team in FIFA 19, including Rivaldo,
Roberto Baggio, Johan Cruyff, George Best, LuÃs Figo, Steven Gerrard, Roy
Keane, Ryan Giggs, Bobby Moore, Franco Baresi, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Eusébio,
Hidetoshi Nakata, Fabio Cannavaro, Michael Ballack, and Frank Lampard. New goal
celebrations featured include Kylian Mbappé’s ‘Little Brother’, Roberto
Firmino’s ‘Matador’, Mohamed Salah performing a sujud, Neymar’s ‘Hang Loose’,
while Cristiano Ronaldo and his nearest teammate both perform Ronaldo’s trademark
‘Siii’ jump together.
New stadiums confirmed for FIFA 19 include the new Tottenham
Hotspur Stadium – due to open in 2019, Molineux Stadium, home of Wolverhampton
Wanderers, Craven Cottage, home of Fulham, and the Cardiff City Stadium, home
of Cardiff City and Wales national football team, ensuring all 20 English
Premier League grounds are featured. There will also be 16 new stadiums from
the Spanish La Liga, with 3 more from the Spanish Segunda Division. The only
absent stadium from La Liga will be Camp Nou, due to Barcelona's exclusive deal
with rival game Pro Evolution Soccer 2019. New Major League Soccer stadiums
featured include StubHub Center of LA Galaxy and Mercedes-Benz Stadium of
Atlanta United FC.
