FIRST PLAY FIFA 19
PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC
With the new football season up and running, the latest FIFA instalment is approaching faster than Mourinho’s next impromptu strop. After spending a few hours with the game that’s going to dominate your free time for the next 12 months, we reckon there are enough tweaks and evolutions to excite fans.
Arguably FIFA’s biggest signing of the summer is the Champions League licence, which it snapped up for what you have to assume must have been a fairly hefty transfer fee from Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer series. It was always rather conspicuous by its absence, particularly in Career mode where Europe’s top teams competed in the euphemistically named Champions Cup.
