FIFA 19: Legacy Edition

Overview

FIFA 19 is a football simulation video game developed by EA Vancouver and released by Electronic Arts on 28 September 2018 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows. It is the 26th installment in the FIFA series.

As with FIFA 18, Cristiano Ronaldo featured as the cover athlete of the regular edition: however, following his unanticipated transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus, new cover art was released. He also appeared with Neymar on the cover of the Champions edition. In October 2018 a woman stated Ronaldo had raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009 and later filed a lawsuit in a Clark County, Nevada court, alleging Ronaldo and his team took advantage of her fragile emotional state and coerced her into signing a settlement and nondisclosure agreement in exchange for $375,000. As a result, in February 2019, EA replaced Ronaldo as the cover star with Neymar, Kevin De Bruyne and Paulo Dybala.

The game features the UEFA club competitions for the first time, including the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup as well. Martin Tyler and Alan Smith return as regular commentators, while the new commentary team of Derek Rae and Lee Dixon feature in the UEFA competitions mode. Composer Hans Zimmer and rapper Vince Staples recorded a new remix of the UEFA Champions League anthem specifically for the game.
