FIFA 19 Career Mode: 5 Big Worries From The Beta
1. A Waste Of Potential
By far the most frustrating thing about Career Mode this time around, however, is that it repeats all the old mistakes from the series' older entries. There is so much obvious potential for Career Mode, were EA to take pointers from their competitors, and yet it's been rolled out with changes that could've been introduced in updates to FIFA 18, never mind a fully fledged sequel.
Criticisms that EA don't innovate the FIFA franchise are as old as Essam El-Hadary's goalkeeping career, but with 19 it's particularly noticeable. It just looks as though the cosmetic upgrades (which were a given anyway) are the only incentive being provided for players to fork out their cash this year, where they'll be taken into a sequel that prioritises Fifa Ultimate Team at the expense of other game modes.
So yes, while FIFA 19 ticks all the boxes for just another FIFA game, it's high time that the franchise strove for bigger and better things - Champions League license and all.
