Got FIFA 19 didn't play the demo as I was really pissed about the lack of career mode changes as that has been my jam since I first played FIFA, however I am a big FUT player too and knowing that the community will be dead on 18 was the reason I bought the game,
Really liking the gameplay this year, feels more skill based and thought out instead of laser precision passes and pace merchants. I hope EA don't patch the gameplay too much and keep it the way it is cause it's pretty much perfect imo.
FUT is as perfect as ever, the market is tweaked atm but that is expected at launch, however I did manage to get a decent team started and I am in the progress of assembling my premier league team atm.
Career mode: tweaking unchanged, not even able to customise the way your manager looks, really disappointing.
As for PES well they have a battle on their hands, they have lost the CL now and the gameplay in this years FIFA seems to be improving, however after playing the PES demo I still feel like the slightly have the edge on FIFA gameplay wise and maybe even graphics wise. Sucks that the licenses are such a pain would love to see what PES could do if it was fully licensed and it would finally be a real opponent to FIFA
