One of the major innovations in FIFA 19 is the dynamic tactics. These are not only meant for eSports players and hardcore gamers; even casuals can improve their game with them. We present this major innovation in FIFA 19 to you.
What are dynamic tactics? In FIFA 19, you will have more tools to add individuality to your tactical formation before the game and to quick tactics during the game. You can adjust them as you wish. Each tactic variant combines formations, mentalities, and offensive or defensive playing styles.
Example: Before a game, you can determine how your teammates should behave when you set it to “very offensive.” How far apart should the teammates stand, how high or deep should they be positioned, how many players should run into the opponent’s penalty area during an attack?

E-sports players can unleash their tactics, but casuals can also find their way
Phew, isn’t it all too complicated? We talked to Samuel Rivera, the gameplay producer of FIFA, about this topic. He assured us that the developers made sure that the dynamic tactics are “accessible to everyone.”
Casuals will also be able to handle the dynamic tactics in FIFA 19 effortlessly, according to Rivera.
Multiple tests have shown that even players who only play FIFA occasionally can quickly understand the dynamic tactics. Overall, FIFA 19 is intended to be more accessible than its predecessors.
Hardcore players can go all out: However, one can also dive deep into the dynamic tactics and “customize everything that is more for hardcore players,” says Rivera.
The dynamic tactics will include two components:
- A comprehensive adjustment that will make e-sports players and hardcore gamers happy
- New selection menus and new tactics that casuals can also easily access

Tom thinks: When Rivera introduced the dynamic tactics with all sorts of customization options, it looked quite exciting and promising.
I think that this will allow many players to put their personal stamp on the matches. And those who just want to play a few quick matches can do so easily without having to struggle to grasp the tactics. I definitely see the dynamic tactics as an enrichment.
