FIFA 19: 6 Rumours You Need To Know About

1. FIFA Might Become A Subscription Service

Time for the biggest rumour of all: EA may well be close to scrapping annual in-box releases for FIFA games in favour of turning the series into an 'always on' subscription service that constantly shifts and updates according to real-life football.

Will this come too soon for FIFA 19? Probably, but the fact EA are even discussing it in the media is a gigantic leap forward for those fans who feel the annual release schedule has become stale. If you're tired of minuscule gameplay tweaks and being drip-fed new content, then this could be the tonic to turn FIFA from annual annoyance to immersive paradise.

Andrew Wilson, EA's chief executive, has hinted that the developers feel inspired by services like Spotify and Netflix. Those subscription models adapt all year round to suit consumer needs, and that's something EA are interested in with FIFA.

It's certainly a mouth-watering idea. If true, there's a chance FIFA 19 may well be the final physical release in the series we gamers see on store shelves. The future is upon us, and it looks like one every fan of EA's long-running franchise should be excited by.
