FIFA 19 Wishlist: 10 Things The Fans Demand
1. More Stadiums And Crowd Activity
Adding all 20 Premier League stadiums to FIFA was a good move that adds to the authenticity of matches in England, but the rest of Europe feels underrepresented, with only a handful of grounds from Italy, Germany and France making the cut.
There are iconic stadiums from around the world that have never been featured in the series, including Celtic Park, Porto's Estadio do Dragao, Lyon's Parc Olympique Lyonnaise and the Maracana Stadium in Brazil. Although EA Sports' efforts to recreate real-world grounds are admirable, wanting more of a good thing is only natural.
On the subject of stadiums, EA has gone to lengths to add more crowd animations within their stands, but there's still room for more detail and realism. Have the fans jump to their feet in outrage when one of their players is fouled, storm out en masse if their team is 6-0 down with more than 20 minutes remaining, or invade the pitch if their club wins the league on the final day of the season.
A few tweaks here and there would really ramp up FIFA 19's authenticity.
