FIFA 19 Beta: 5 Major Problems That Need Fixing
4. First Touches
FIFA were very keen on promoting their new 'Active Touch System' in the new game and for the most part is it a real improvement.
The "tricks, flicks, traps, and feints that make every touch of the ball smoother and more fluid" take a bit of getting used to, but can be used very effectively, give the game an incredibly realistic feel, and are a real bonus when attacking.
They haven't quite ironed out all the kinks just yet though. Whilst generally the 'Active Touch System' is a great development for FIFA, on some occasions it can be the reason why you screw up a simple goalscoring opportunity or gift possession to your opponent.
Unless your player is in acres of space or can shield the ball well, they usually take a heavy touch akin to myself when playing five-a-side...and there's a reason why you don't see me on FIFA.
The 'Active Touch System' is another in a long line of additions which prove why EA has gotten so good at evolving FIFA with the times, but they need to tone down the sensitivity on the simple stuff, these are professional footballers after all!
