FIFA 19: 7 New Additions You Need To Know

6. Changing How Teammates Work Off The Ball

If that isn't quite enough control, then FIFA 19's new pre-match menu system that rewards player tinkering should excite.

For the first time ever in a FIFA game, you'll be able to choose what sort of runs individual AI teammates make off the ball when you're in possession. Further, there will be unique options for different scenarios. For example, you may want a rapid left back to overlap his winger, or a sharpshooting right back to cut infield for a pass.

This level of control will add some tactical depth to the game, and it sounds really promising. If handled correctly, the new running patterns will mean wing backs don't stupidly play out of position just because you're 1-0 down and going "All Out Attack". There has to be some contextual common sense, after all.

Fellow defenders should now proactively hunt down opposition players for a tackle (without the need to hold that 'pressure' button), and that will leave user-controlled players free to join in or chase down a runner off the ball without flapping around like a glitchy mess.
