FIFA 19 Career Mode: 5 Big Worries From The Beta

4. The Hub Doesn't Innovate In The Slightest

Adding more fuel to the belief that EA have overlooked Career Mode in FIFA 19 is the fact that the hub looks exactly the same as its predecessor, with the only noticeable change being a crystal blue hue replacing the generic stadium from last year's game.

It is worth noting that the UEFA license has given EA the ability to add more immersion to the game, with the Champions League and Europa League featuring prominently in Career Mode, but they don't add anything to the menus. Worse yet, both the Champions League and Europa League draws happen in GIF form in the menu's 'news' section, wasting a clear opportunity for a cutscene with dialogue.

There's something to be said about if something's not broke, then don't bother fixing it, but the interface has never been that brilliant, and though giving players the ability to better evaluate stats is welcome, the changes still only feel marginal at best.
