The Way You Shoot On FIFA Is About To Change Forever

EA Sports gave us a teaser of what FIFA 19 will look like at EA Play when they announced the UEFA Champions League will return for the first time in years.

Of course, the highly anticipated Champions League mode was certainly one of the biggest features to be announced, but many missed out on another monumental announcement.

FIFA 19 will introduce the Timed Finishing system, which puts users in charge of how accurately they connect with the ball.

That's right. The way we shoot on FIFA is about to change forever.

EA Sports described the new Timed Finishing system on their official website, and it sounds like it'll improve gameplay massively in FIFA 19:

"Get another level of control over every shot with the Timed Finishing system, which puts users in charge of how accurately they connect with the ball. Trigger a timed finish by double tapping the "shoot" button when attempting a strike." they described.

"The precision and timing of the second button tap determines the result of the contact; perfectly timed strikes increase a shot's accuracy and power, while poorly timed contacts make the shot more likely to miss the mark.

Whether it's a hit from outside the box, a precision header, or a deft touch, timed finishing adds a higher layer of control to finishing in FIFA 19."

YouTuber ChuBoi gave fans a review of how shooting has changed after playing the game this weekend.

On top of the new finishing system, EA Sports have introduced Active Touch System.

'It will fundamentally change the way you receive and strike the ball, enabling closer control, improved fluidity in movement, more creativity, and increased player personality,' according to the website.

As well as the above, the 'First touch will get an overhaul with new tools such as the disguised touch, flick-up volleys, or even skill specific animations like the Neymar Trap, so that you can stay one touch ahead of your opponent and create scoring chances.'
