FIFA 19: 10 Expert Tips To Play Like A Boss

8. Hammer The AI When They Start Playing Tiki-Taka

As referenced during the intro, EA have done a better job hiding the scripted gameplay moments their series has become renowned for. Note the word 'hiding'; the developers haven't totally eradicated scripting, but it's less apparent than ever. Just be prepared when the CPU starts playing funny buggers.

That's another time to take one for the team and ground them, even if it costs a booking or red card.

The signs of an 'unstoppable' AI counter attack are obvious. They'll start pinging the ball about the park with expert precision, and they won't take longer than a half second in possession. Although that can make this tactic a challenge, it's worth doing. You absolutely don't want them Tiki-Taka-ing their way to the box.

Once the CPU gets in there, it's curtains for your goalie. They'll unleash a powerful drive that goes right through his gloves, and it'll leave you shouting about the injustice of it all. So, break an ankle, deal with the consequences later and rest easy knowing you've likely saved some frustration.
