FIFA19 BETA Discussion

[Joonlarjj]

Codes have gone out today.

Beta starts August 10th, 5PM BST.

EDIT: The Beta is under NDA so you're not officially allowed to talk about it outside of EA's feedback forums. Keep that in mind before sharing any info!

Are you allowed to talk about the closed beta (is it a closed beta)? It was a big deal on the Madden boards that the terms were that discussing the beta was not allowed. However, what people did was provide things for the beta-testers to look for to provide the feedback to EA on some things that the community wanted to have checked (for example, does the wind influence the kicking game too much in the beta-Madden) in hopes that problems could be addressed by feedback before the release.

The terms of this closed beta may be different and maybe they are OK with public discussion but I just wanted to call this to your attention.

Oh yeah good shout, you're right, the beta is under NDA so people should share at their own risk.

There are always leaks though, people are already sharing stuff about the Beta on Reddit.

Mods at Madden were quick to close thread that discussed the beta...but we could pose these items that we want testers to look into when they are testing, then provide this feedback to EA.

Here are some of mine (I'm assuming just base gameplay without adjusting sliders as a base case):

Foul frequency. Are you seeing fouls committed by CPU? This has always been an issue with Fifa. If the animations suggest a foul should be called but they aren't called, this should be called to their attention.

Passing precision: are the CPU passes unrealistically too precise? (especially when facing away from receiver or when under pressure)

Success on crosses: good, bad, ugly? Can you score on corners? is the defense winning too many crosses? Is placement of crosses too easy or too challenging.

Defensive teammate awareness: are your defensive teammates being drawn out of position by opponent's runs through the box?

From what I've been able to dig up through YouTube and Twitter, career mode is virtually unchanged other than the inclusion of CL & EL with a fresh coat of paint. Pretty sad EA.

You expected something different?

Absolutely not.

A small change but would be big in my book is if teams that are relegated or promoted will show the proper league badge on their kit
