FIFA 19 Career Mode: 5 Big Worries From The Beta

2. Cosmetic Changes Don't Alter THAT Much

Obviously the introduction of the Champions League and the Europe League is a major plus for players, and with Serie A and the Chinese Super League likely to follow, this FIFA should - on the surface - present the most complete package the series has seen thus far.

Truth be told, however, they don't really alter the title that much. Yes, the patches are nice to look at, and the introduction of new stadiums, commentators and trophies all add to FIFA's immersive qualities, but let's be honest, they're all just window dressing - distractions from the series' bread and butter gameplay.

Despite this, EA's acquisition of the UEFA license is being sold as the biggest addition to FIFA 19, even though there are changes to gameplay too. And while it's true there's only so much a sports sim can change year after year, when a fresh lick of paint is the only thing being focused on, there's obvious cause for concern.
