#GamingBytes: 5 tips to win FIFA 19 matches
FIFA 19 is releasing on September 28, and it would bring a host of new gameplay features to the favorite EA Sports franchise. With the playing style being significantly different from previous editions of FIFA, players might have a hard time coping with the new game, especially if they are playing online. Here are 5 tips to win FIFA 19 matches.
Make the tactical changes when required
FIFA 19 will bring customizable tactics, which can be changed in-game. The 'Dynamic Tactics' allow an in-depth modification suitable to the team. Gamers are advised to start with a 'Balanced' tactic and switch to 'Ultra Attacking' towards the middle of the first half, to get a goal in. Towards the end of the match, 'Ultra Defensive' is advisable to not concede last-minute goals.
Learn to leave your comfort zone
New gamers often turn their FIFA difficulty to the lowest and rake up wins in Career Mode or Tournaments. However, this comfort of winning is fatal if they decide to play online. Further, FIFA's gameplay experience improves overall with a higher difficulty setting. We recommend the professional or semi-professional setting for newcomers. The matches are not impossible to win but provide realistic challenges.
Learn to handle your defenses
Newcomers, often, tend to go for sliding tackles while defending. It is the easiest way to commit a foul, get a card, or worse, have the opponent avoid the tackle and leave you behind. Standing tackles are safer, but can still result in fouls and give up defensive positions. The ideal technique is to create pressure on the opponent by 'jockeying' them.
What is 'jockey' in FIFA?
Jockeying in FIFA allows an additional defender to support the existing defender that is marking the player. Although it leaves a position open, the defenders push the player into a non-threatening part of the pitch or even back towards the opposition's goalpost.
Speed is not always good in football
FIFA 19 already has a new gameplay that will make sprinting with the ball a little more complex. However, new gamers often like passing the ball to high-speed players and making them sprint with it. Not only does this reduce stamina, but players can also lose the ball more easily. It is recommended to play a passing game.
Make smart investments
A lot of players like starting the career mode in small clubs to carry them to glory. However, small teams with small budgets mean that high-profile transfers are almost impossible. It is best to invest in young prodigies, aged between 17 and 21. They come cheap, but if you grind them enough, their overall ratings skyrocket. Furthermore, they can replace old squad members efficiently.
