Band of Brothers, Thief
true enoughI'm not joking, I've seen that 2nd paragraph word for word about every FIFA release for over 10 years.

Yeah it's nonsense to me :/ regular way is the best.Played a couple of games earlier before work. Always tough to judge playing against the AI, but it feels quite a bit better. Don't quite understand this double tap shoot mechanic they've put into the game. You'd think you should be pressing it so that's it's in your stride but it's not quite right.
I've left it on whilst on the demo, I'll make my decision based on whether it can be adjusted / exploited on FUT. If shots can be cannoned in from miles away then I'll have to get used to it.Yeah it's nonsense to me :/ regular way is the best.
The normal shots I take are mostly landing in the centre of the accuracy/power bar. I think this can make a difference during corners. I usually mistime those headers because I keep pressing shoot.I've left it on whilst on the demo, I'll make my decision based on whether it can be adjusted / exploited on FUT.

Yep, the demo is actually pretty pointless in judging the gameplay. I’d wager if you went back and played all of the demos from previous titles, it’d be like night and day to EA’s ‘’finished” product.The gameplay will change with a new update anyway. As if it would stay like the demo. They did it last year too
All normal shots, without a double press stop in the middle anyways. It's only when you double press that it actually does anything. I played on amateur earlier just to get a feel for when to press etc. It's only really feasible on long range strikes with lots of open space, but you don't really need it for them to go in as a lot fly in anyway.The normal shots I take are mostly landing in the centre of the accuracy/power bar.

I find the bolded part quite interesting, wasn't the first touch aspect one of the new 'features' in fifa 18? Although they were often awful touches and players often had to break stride to control the ball.I can't retain the balls so well, the first touch is so meh in FIFA 19, got lost with the movement, sometimes they didn't react to pass and unable to dominate the football because of awful first touch that led to losing possession as I like to play tiki-taka football, it is pissing me off. I hope it won't be same as FIFA 19 full game.
My guess is it depends on when you press shoot for the second time. Maybe ever so slightly later will make it dip. feck knows.Every shot seems to be a rising shot. Anyway to hit a dipping shot instead? The timing is quite easy but seems to be a lack of variation on shot types.
They made massive strides to improve this from 17 -> 18. The difference was clear as day, the AI was completely revamped, probably to do with Squad Battles being introduced.Some things are good and fun some things are shit. Basically don’t play against the AI because it hasn’t been improved for about 5 years. The way any team retains the ball like prime Barcelona on crack despite being pressed to death always fecks me off so much.
Yup won every game Think the first game you gave me a run that was it. I don't play anymore unfortunately... My little girl I still very young and cant get time. I'll be back for Fifa 24, I'll get you a game thenDid you though? I’ve honestly gotten a lot better since we played last (that must’ve been FIFA 17?). Went from being a Gold 1/Elite 3 player to finish Elite 1/2 pretty much every time.
I can objectively say that xbox may be slightly more difficult but there’s a very tiny difference. Loads of great players on the PS4 too, and most pros have switched from Xbox to PS4 now that icons are on PS4 as well.
I’d love to play against you. I’m going to play the FIFA 19 EA Access pre-release on xbox, you up for a game then?
Ahh, okay then. But yeah, you were really good. Shame you don’t play anymore, though I can see how being a parent prevents you from having the time to play the 40 gamesYup won every game Think the first game you gave me a run that was it.

People are saying September 19th but not 100% confirmedAny idea on when the web app is out?
Didn't someone on here say that EA weren't improving gameplay because the sponsored players would have to learn a whole new game?My guess is it depends on when you press shoot for the second time. Maybe ever so slightly later will make it dip. feck knows.
I personally think the game is exactly the same with slightly improved graphics and slightly more fluid game play. To be honest though, adding champions league and a fully licensed La Liga is a huge addition in itself, so by EA’s standards we can excuse the lack of significant gameplay improvements.
To utilise it, the receiving player has to be stationary (for most part) and it works best if you flick the ball towards the direction you received the pass form. Saying that - you can push it in a direction that you feel can unbalance the opponent as long you hold R1 and wait till the ball is close to you before moving your left stick. Will take some getting used to for it to prove advantageous though.Played about 7 games.
Not sure
- This R1 no touch thing. I'm sure it does something cool but I've not really figured out how to work it. I just get bundled over trying to use it.
- The timed shooting. Played on Amateur to get a feel and I kept doing it early. When I finally timed one perfect it went in like any other goal. Keeper should've saved it if anything.
This is the one reason I'm hoping it's compulsory on FUT. At times last year every goal I conceded was a pea roller along the floor with the double tap. Hopefully this change can add a bit of variety.New shooting timing system has made me realise how often if used the driven low hard shot
I've had some success with it when dribbling to be fair, but that's the no touch that was in the game last year, just now it seems to be slightly improved in the way it works.Not sure

Customise controls, trainer.How do you turn off those annoying button prompts above players heads?
They've finally sorted out the broadcast camera at last!! Looks tv realistic at last (especially if you use custom settings). With the improvements of the gameplay, it really plays well this way.Playing with City you can just R1 triangle to Sterling and he's through on the right side every time.

Why would you do such a thing?Playing with City you can just R1 triangle to Sterling and he's through on the right side every time.
The fact that every single game he has the same commentary for the opening goal is doing my head in already. Hope that isn't the case for the actual game otherwise I'll have to turn off commentary and just have music on.
Scored this just now. Nice that it shut Lee Dixon up too.
Also this second one which I feel is more interesting. In Fifa 18 that rebound shot is going over the bar or straight to the keeper with no power. It’s refreshing to see it actually be rifled into the corner like a proper follow-up.
I think you only really notice the changes if you have put loads of hours in. The changes aren't massive, but they are improvements that needed making. My only thing is how much is going to change on that first patch or 2I honestly don’t get the criticism. I think it’s the best demo since... forever? I can’t remember the last time they changed the gameplay that much, and it feels fantastic right now. I understand the people complaining about lack of changes in career mode and pro clubs, but beyond that I don’t get it.
