On Monday, EA Sports posted a video featuring the best goals scored in FIFA 19 so far. As you’d expect, it’s a compilation of players like Neymar and Antoine Griezmann flicking the ball up, turning and swiveling, mutating their bodies into ungodly forms and weltering bicycle kicks from over 30 yards out. Very cool.
Back in December, Luka Modrić won the Ballon d’Or as the best footballer on the planet after an incredible 2018 year. But this latest Luka Modric TOTY card might trump all the Croatian’s career accomplishments.
FIFA is a worldwide phenomenon, drawing millions of players each year. Every season, soccer fans wonder what the overall ratings of their favorite players will be, so much so that FIFA annually releases a top 100 overall rating list before the release of the game every September. Kevin Ellison, a Morecambe FC player, is not in the top 100.
FIFA has some excellent soundtracks from all over the world with a wide range of genres. Any time I fire up a previous version of the game just for fun, the soundtracks that come on always hit me with a wave of nostalgia.
FIFA 19 was released in September of this year, ten years since the release of the popular (and one of my personal favorites) FIFA 09. In that time, each game's soundtrack has been a fantastic edition.
How can the U.S. ever expect to win a World Cup when its star player can’t even grasp Concacaf-rules football?
Christian Pulisic, the 20-year-old Borussia Dortmund who is already perhaps the USMNT’s best player, was a part of the FIFA 19 World Tour with a new video that dropped this week. Pulisic faced off against BVB teammate and FIFA 17 cover boy Marco Reus in a no-rules match of FIFA 19.
No rules means just what you’d think: no offside, no fouls, no bookings.
Donald Glover has accomplished more by the age of 35 than most people will in their entire life. But this might be his crowning achievement.
Forget his writing chops on 30 Rock, his comedic acting on Community, his range on Atlanta or his musical ability as Childish Gambino. We just love his FIFA 19 Squad Battles team.
Shopping for someone who loves video gamers? Look no further. We've compiled a soccer-inspired guide of the best gifts for gamers in 2018-2019 that will take their gaming space to the next level.
If you’re a supporter of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus or Bayern Munich and you’re looking to distinguish yourself in 2019, look no further than this collaboration between adidas and EA Sports. These “Digital 4th Kits” are inspired by FIFA, and although they’ll be available for use in FIFA Ultimate Team, you can also cop the actual limited-edition jerseys from online club stores (retailing for $98).
FIFA 19 is going on a world tour with stops in New York City, London, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Dortmund, and the NYC visit featured a matchup between Odell Beckham Jr. (a three-time Pro Bowl receiver with the New York Giants) and Grammy nominated rapper A$AP Rocky.
Beckham, age 26, says he’s been playing since the 2001 version, meaning he’s been going at it since he was nine years old. Rocky, 30, doesn’t say how long he’s been playing FIFA, but it’s obvious that he’s taking quite a beating from the NFL star.
If you’re like me, your FIFA Career Mode has played out in a similar vein for the last decade: (1) Select your favorite Premier League club. (2) Sign one or two big names for the starting XI (get in here, Daniele De Rossi, son of Rome). (3) Load the bench with Americans and create compelling backstories in your own head about how Jordan Morris is ready to take his chance against Macclesfield Town in the Carabao Cup second round.
