This fairytale with the "playful" FIFA game must finally stop. While the game has very nice graphics and work has been done with the players, these guys have not managed to even fix the basic artificial intelligence! It is not possible after more than 20 years of development for them to have not been able to solve the passing problem! It is not possible for the passes to still be made randomly!

If you can tolerate playing a football game where every other goal is scored from a "game glitch", have fun (you want to pass right, it passes straight, the opponent takes the ball, counterattacks, and scores). I'm tired of this nonsense. Until they reach a decent level of artificial intelligence in the game, I won't spend another euro on this mockery.

(I understand that it is difficult to have high AI in team sports games, but this situation is in no way justified. For example, in 2K you don't encounter this problem, at least to this extent. Here we are talking about complete indifference from the development team. This is what the lack of competition leads to..)

Much improved compared to 18.
It is much more entertaining and interesting game than last year but it has some realism issues.

I will only talk about the negatives because my experience was mainly positive for a game that I had day one and played for about 90 hours, which is much more than 18.

Everything is fine except for the following issues that EA needs to fix in order for us to continue buying FIFA for €60 and not wait for it to drop to €40.

First of all, they have abandoned Career Mode, it doesn't offer anything new and this year I didn't bother with it at all because it's not satisfying and you don't feel like you achieve anything at the end of the day. We know it doesn't make money like FUT but come on, make an effort, it can't be that the Player Career is the same for 5-6 years now... Secondly, FUT is clearly pay to win and it requires a lot of grinding to build a competitive team. I played 250 matches until I built the Serie A team I wanted, which only includes 2 special cards and cost me around 250,000 coins? I'm not sure if that's where I am. And I had the game day one so I managed to get a slight advantage but it's nothing if you don't play 5 hours every day or spend money, which doesn't even guarantee success because the pack luck is terrible... Finally, I would like to comment on the lack of realism, which is evident in very good players who are excellent dribblers and in combination with this year's time finishing, they are simply disgustingly unrealistic and ruin my mood and desire to play if I come up against them. Timed finishing needs to be removed because it's simply a cheat and anyone who learned it could easily score goals from anywhere.

In summary, I would say that my experience this year was very good but next year I expect improvements if they want me to give them €60 again... Otherwise, I will wait for the price to drop.

Well, generally I am a fan of FIFA for years, but I can say that this year I feel completely lost with this game. Let me start with the basic gameplay, when you try to give a simple short pass, aiming with the analog stick and pressing "X" gently, believing that it will give it to the player you want, the fact that the game system instead of giving it to the closest player, always gives it to the most marked, unwanted player at that moment... now of course, with the updates it has become even worse!
Let's move on to Ultimate Team, first of all it is clear for another year that those who have money to spend are the ones who dominate, but you can still fight with Squad Battles, it gives you the opportunity to win some more useful packs without having to play against other live people, now the SBC if you have money you can do everything, otherwise you will struggle...
Career Mode, no progress, the same as in 2015, nothing different, just has a more official Champions League.
And finally, the updates, which I consider awful, a 4GB update... just to not fix anything in the gameplay, just to change player photos...

Because there are many people who are torn between FIFA and PES, I will try to guide you quickly and in simple words! And even though FIFA has a special significance for me, as my first gaming memories are about this game, I will be completely objective!
Don't just look at the negative or positive comments...
Some people like one, others like the other!
The fact that some consider it the worst FIFA is their personal opinion, and the fact that others consider it perfect is also an equally different opinion!
I grew up with FIFA... And then I also tried PES. I watched some videos on YouTube and I have to say that it doesn't help much to form an opinion. You will make your final decision after personally trying these games yourselves.
So, both games have positives and negatives.
PES has more realistic graphics, no doubt about it, but it lacks licenses... Even if you use patches, it won't be the same as before...
On the other hand, FIFA has everything!! But it's not always very realistic...
FIFA has slower gameplay, but it's logical, what do you expect, players sliding and scoring goals all the time against anyone? Of course not!! And the reason it became slower is to try to make it look more real. Indeed, in reality, the movements are more or less like that!
The argument "It became slower to look more like reality" was used by EA itself. Besides, if you want, you can change it and make it faster through the settings!
Now, those who talk about bugs, fast defenders, slow attackers, game errors... don't listen to anything. Just because it happened to 1 or 2, doesn't mean it happens to everyone else.
I liked FIFA as much as PES. It just depends on each person's preferences... Let's see:
- If you prefer smoother, more realistic, and brighter graphics, if you like more stable movements and easier goals and you don't have patience, you can choose PES.
- For those who don't mind being patient and slowly building their attacks, for those who want all the licenses without using patches, for those who want more features and most importantly: FOR PREMIER LEAGUE LOVERS, I recommend FIFA.
* For those who see football in a more romantic way, for those who analyze and often think that they are inside the game... for those who play football in local teams and identify with this game, for those who see English stadiums, even in the lower leagues, and feel an emotional - moving sensation, and even for those who train with the thought that they are there, but also for those who want a more relaxing and football-oriented music playlist, FIFA is the best choice you can make!
In my opinion, you can get both. But if it doesn't fit your budget, you can buy the respective game based on the preferences I mentioned!

P.S.: Even though I talked a little more about FIFA, know that I enjoy both games!
That's it!

Edit: By choosing the "training" mode in FIFA, you can see how incredibly realistic the players' movements are in training. Especially for those who play football in teams will understand. The players behave very realistically even in the simplest movement!! The body positions, the passes, the shots, the dribbles, the falls, the pushes, the overall movements are as if you are watching real football!!
Also, it should be mentioned that the players are actually tested in separate rooms with special cables in order to capture their movements in the game!! Something that doesn't happen in PES...
I was speechless!!!
Another positive thing that can be added to FIFA!!!

--> Edit 2: Tremendous analysis! I am satisfied with the graphics of both games.

--> Edit 3: FIFA has a lot of stadiums! However, it doesn't have Camp Nou..

---> Edit 4: Indeed, PES has incredible graphics. Amazing detail in the cities shown by the camera just before the match starts. Beautiful and realistic exterior shots. Relaxing lights outside the stadium, bright lighting in houses, buildings, and streets, which, combined with the intricately illustrated landscape, gives you a wonderful feeling. Smooth graphics and overall lighting. Truly better than FIFA..

---> Edit 5: This game requires patience. Just like any game. If it was easy, it would be boring.
Most negative reviews come from players who don't know how to play and get bored with making an effort to improve. And passes will succeed if you know how to do them at the right timing, and shots will go in, and defenses will come out.. And with 1-star teams, you can win if you have patience and think in general. When you know how to play, almost nothing bothers you. Glitches will always exist in all games. After all, it's a game, not a true representation of football. They are robots, not real humans. And yet, it copes with reality. From good players, you will always hear positive things, but they won't fail to mention some problems that exist. Simply, don't listen to anyone. Enjoy it. The old good FIFA is here and it is improved.

Once again, dear EA managed to do it brilliantly...
They burned our eyes.
What can I say about this year's FIFA, the game is the worst. I'm sure that before they released it, they didn't even bother to try it out.
I knew that EA doesn't care at all about its customers, they just want to take our money, but this year they went too far...
First of all, as you may remember, last year CR7 scored that fantastic scissor kick goal in the match against Juve, and here you may wonder "What does this have to do with anything?"
It relates to the fact that now all players, even the goalkeepers, can easily do scissor kicks when the ball is in the air. Although it sounds interesting, it's not enjoyable to concede 2-3 goals in every match from scissor kicks.
Furthermore, the animations have become even more delayed than last year and the glitches have become ridiculous...
Another tragic element of FIFA 19 is that the AI is simply broken. If you play in the world class+ category, there is simply no chance of scoring an easy goal, and on top of that, the AI can score a goal with just one shot from Kranjcar from 80 meters with a scissor kick.
Of course, the strong element in this year's FIFA is the passes...
They don't go through even with a request. Even with players like Modric, Eriksen, Kroos, sometimes passing the ball to a teammate feels like a scenario from science fiction!
Moreover, the shots in this year's FIFA have become terrible, and only if you are a pro player or if you have a player with good shooting, will you be able to easily find the way to the net!
Finally, it is worth mentioning that some players' stats are not reflected in the game.
In conclusion, in my opinion, this year's FIFA is not worth a dime. I got bored of it within two weeks and I still cry for those 60€ that went to waste on such a rotten game that was made without any effort.
Congratulations EA, once again you worked your magic!
