About this game
FIFA 19 on Nintendo Switch puts real-name licensed teams into soccer matches and includes a standalone UEFA Champions League mode. Shooting features Timed Finishing: begin a shot, then press again as the player contacts the ball. The timing affects the attempt’s chance of success. Kick-Off also offers altered match rules. Survival removes an outfield player from your side when you score, while Long Range gives extra value to goals from outside the penalty area. Official UEFA broadcast elements accompany the competition presentation. For local sessions, the game supports shared Joy-Con play as well as TV, tabletop and handheld modes. EA has retired this edition’s online services.
Collected in series
FIFA is EA SPORTS’ football series built around passing moves, defensive decisions and the excitement of scoring. Across its history, careers, Ultimate Team and women’s football broadened the experience beyond individual matches.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Best considered by players interested in local soccer sessions and changes to familiar match rules.
Timed Finishing suggests an extra execution choice when shooting, while Survival and Long Range change what a goal means for the match. Those mechanisms give local games distinct priorities, but retired online services substantially limit its fit for players seeking remote competition.
Strengths
- Survival and Long Range can encourage different decisions about when and where to pursue a goal.
- A standalone Champions League competition and official broadcast elements may appeal to players who want recognizable tournament framing.
Weaknesses
- With online services retired, this edition is a poor fit when playing against remote opponents is the main goal.
Who it is for: Players who want local soccer matches, enjoy adjusting to unusual scoring rules and value licensed competition presentation.
Play notes: EA has retired FIFA 19’s Nintendo Switch online services; historical descriptions of Online Friendlies and other online features do not establish current availability.
