The ever-iterating football series is taking another leap forward, but this time it’s more about player empowerment than technology

15 Ways Fifa 19 Is Letting You Play Your Way

KICK-OFF UPGRADE

1 You’re either a Beatles person or an Elvis person, so Pulp Fiction told us. You can like both, but you have to be more one than the other. FIFA is kind of similar. You might be a FIFA player, but either you really like FIFA Ultimate Team or playing Career or The Journey, or just playing against friends in the friendly mode. Well, EA has been working those more involved modes for years, but what it calls Kick-Off, the straight to-the-pitch, one-off friendly mode that you play locally with friends, not so much. That all changes this year, with a lot more customisation and variety on offer that will open up the mode to let you play it the way you want to.

HOUSE RULES

2 Part of the expansion of Kick-Off is about letting you play your way, and in some ways codifying things we were already doing and making them official. For instance, how often have you played against a friend and said you would play a best of three matches? Or maybe you’ve said the first to three goals is the overall winner? Perhaps you miss the days when you could turn off fouls, bookings and everything else and just create carnage on the pitch? Good, because now you can. Settings for matches and goals, as well as a no rules mode, are all available in The New Kick-Off Mode so that you can structure your game time in a more interesting way.
