FIFA 19 Beta Review: 8 Hands-On Impressions You Need To Know
2. You'll Need To Train To Get Used To Some New Features
EA Sports
Even those players who are seasoned FIFA veterans will need to spend some time on the training pitch in order to utilise the new features that have been introduced.
Although 'Timed Finishing' can be simply disregarded, if you can hone your skills with it almost any player can become lethal in front of goal. Similarly, the changes in passing mean that whilst you'll eventually just get used to the new system and it's benefits, spending a short while re-learning the basics will really help in the long run and allow you to vary the way you move the ball across the park.
Finally, the new 'Active Touch System' when mastered can be a complete game-changer and add a completely new dimension to your attack. What with it being a new addition to FIFA there's a step-by-step guide to how and when to utilise this feature so invest some time in the training and you'll be vastly rewarded in the game.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
