I'm pretty sure Live and NHL release within the same time frame.

Worth noting that the new commentary team is ONLY for Champions League games. The standard commentary team is still doing the rest of the game. It'll basically be the same as how the world cup always had its own commentary team.


The Title is a bit misleading and gives the impression that there's a new commentary team for the whole game, which just isn't the case.

Of course they need a year for the full development cycle, but there have hardly been any changes in recent years and it looks like FIFA 19 won't be much more than a slightly updated FIFA 18. So reducing the development cycle from 12 months to 10 months should be doable....

I think the later release has to do with gamescom (late August), where fifa officially allows gameplay footage to be released to the public. Maybe, EA relies on the feedback from this event to make some adjustments.

EA has 3 sport titles releasing in September. NBA Live, FIFA, and I'm guessing NHL will be squeezed somewhere between those two.

Again, ONLY for Champions League. Same team for the last billion years is in every other game (besides world cup)
