![]() ![]() The career mode is identical to last year’s already out-of-date offering, continuing to give players the Xbox 360 and PS3 experience instead of attempting to carry across at least some of the features from the other current-gen systems, like improved transfer negotiations.įar more frustrating, though, is the lack of progress made in FIFA’s most popular mode, Ultimate Team. Other absences are even less understandable. We're sure EA could have worked something out if it really wanted to, but no. As such, with the Switch version using a customised and enhanced version of the last-gen Ignite engine, it’s a no-show this year again. The Journey – a story mode following a young player called Alex Hunter as he makes his way from rags to riches – wasn’t in last year’s Switch entry, with EA bizarrely claiming that a story mode with in-game cutscenes was only possible with the power of its Xbox One and PS4 Frostbite engine (even though the NBA 2K games seem to manage it perfectly well, thanks very much). Granted, the most notable omission has been explained by EA before. And yet, at the same time, there are just as many additions on the other formats that haven’t made the jump over to the Switch, often for no apparent reason. Some of the new modes introduced in FIFA 19 on Xbox One and PS4 are present here too, all singing and dancing and helping to make the game feel fresher. The results are a mixed bag: while the action on the pitch is as entertaining as ever, the feature list is still oddly inconsistent with other versions of the game. With another 12 months available to improve on the groundwork laid in last year’s game, FIFA 19 could be considered the first ‘real’ offering from EA. This year, that courtesy is no longer extended. As the first entry on the Switch, FIFA 18 was given the benefit of the doubt in some respects as EA offered up a game on a new format with a new bespoke engine. This wasn’t exactly difficult to achieve, though (given that FIFA 13 on Wii U was the previous champ), and there was still plenty of room for improvement when it came to missing modes, features and the like. FIFA 18 delivered a solid football experience on Switch, causing us to confidently declare it “the best Nintendo FIFA ever”. Last year, EA Sports reignited its relationship with Nintendo by bringing a FIFA game to one of its home consoles for the first time in half a decade. ![]()
