FIFA 19 Beta: 5 Major Problems That Need Fixing

Another new gameplay feature on FIFA 19 is 'Timed Finishing'. Which they boast is "an entirely new mechanic that lets you make any shot world class with just one extra, well-timed button tap." In theory, that sounds excellent...in practice it can be an absolute nightmare.

They haven't completely overhauled the shooting system and in theory you could play a game without ever using this feature, but the promise that this could make your shot unstoppable, means it's something many gamers will be keen to utilise.

The issue is the erratic nature of the execution, which once you get the hang of the process may be simply solved. However, the amount of sitters you'll miss with world-class players in the interim may cause a few controllers to be broken.

Prior to this feature being introduced, it was generally accepted that the skill of the player was the main factor in whether or not they could volley home from six yards. 'Timed Finishing' means Ronaldo could miss a strike that Saido Berahino would bury due to a gamer's ability with this one feature.

It could well be that by the time the game comes out, we will all have grasped it through playing the demo, but EA need to be made aware of it as a potential stumbling block for gamers.
