FIFA 19

FIFA 19 is a definite improvement on last year's effort, despite not all new additions quite hitting the mark.

FIFA 19 is back for a new season, but how do its new Kick Off modes, third chapter of The Journey, and new FUT features fare?

FIFA 19 is a great football video game marred by ongoing issues with Ultimate Team.

Maintaining an almost impossible level of polish across its many modes, FIFA 19 might not eclipse PES 19 on the pitch, but it demonstrates its worth via The Journey.

FIFA 19's selling points may be subtle or incremental but, again, that's because the bedrock of this game has been so deep and so strong, for so long

The Champions League expands FIFA's exhaustive selection of licences – but thanks to lessons learned last year there's plenty to love out on the pitch, too.

FIFA 19 is more exciting on the pitch than off due to the small additions made to the former and the lack of progress for the latter.

With new shooting options, the Champions League and a madcap no-rules mode, the era's defining sports sim tots up another win

19 is better than FIFA 18 in almost every way, and it's more fun to play than any other football game right now.

Truly egregious commentary aside, FIFA 19 is another winner for EA Sports. The improvements over last year's entry are subtle but many, resulting in a footie sim that feels incredibly refined. Better balance across the pitch opens options for more tactical play, and there's more nuance to explore than ever before. More casual FIFA players may not see the difference immediately, but there's a deliberate intricacy to FIFA 19, and it's enough to keep the series in top form.
