They're starting with something that was supposed to be in FIFA 18.

Remember all that talk of how 'dynamic weather' would change the way FIFA played? It sounded so good on paper, and footy fans instantly started thinking about how sudden bursts of heavy rain could help their League Two side overcome Premier League opposition in key cup games, or how differently matches around the world might play.

In the end, it all boiled down to 'showers'. That was the only weather option in-game that (sort of) reflected EA's initial vision, and it turns out they weren't too happy about it. Popular FIFA site dreamteamfc claim that the developers will focus on making weather a more important component this year.

They better, because Konami beat them to it with PES. There, weather actually does have an impact on how matches play out. EA can't afford to hype features like this then not come through with them once the game is released, especially if major rivals are going to nail it.
