This can alleviate the constant scrolling of trying to find a new team to play with. These new options can be accessed in the 'House Rules' section of Kick Off and include the ability to now pre-determine a number of random teams available to each player. Interestingly, EA has included new modes to Kick Off, many of which have been the street rules that teenagers concocted years ago to add further challenge. These new additions bring further authenticity to the package and create a fully immersive football experience. Added presentation and branding are abundantly evident, ranging from refreshed menus, to music, and even in-game HUD. Commentary from Lee Dixon and Derek Rae is a refreshing mix from the largely dated and recycled lines from Martin Tyler and Alan Smith. It isn't all doom and gloom, though, as the newly pilfered UEFA Champions League and Europa League from PES has been made present in all available modes. Instead, Nintendo Switch owners get a copy and paste job from FIFA 18 with a largely unchanged Career mode (ironically, this hasn't changed much from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of FIFA 14…), which strangely has removed some options, such as being able to view other leagues and divisions. 50/50 battles on loose balls are subtly not present, and neither is the Active Touch System, which, as the title suggests, changes how players strike, dribble, and control the ball. Unfortunately, this isn't the only feature missing from FIFA 19, and instead a raft of new features has seemingly been missed off, including the new options added to 'Dynamic Tactics,' which allow for greater customisation to how players react on the pitch through D-pad presses. The limitations stem from EA running a customised Ignite engine, instead of using Frostbite, which is what is used on the Xbox One and PS4 versions, so that's why the newer features, such as The Journey, are not present. Okay, people already know all of this, so why the need to be reminded? Well, the thing is, not much has really changed between FIFA 18 and FIFA 19. The Nintendo Switch's limitations eventually began to rear its ugly head and, as such, EA released FIFA 18 last year with multiple omissions, namely the absent single-player story mode, The Journey, alongside a stripped-down career mode, a dumbed down Ultimate team, and not being able to play with friends online. Initially, support itself seemed great, especially for those who had to live through the Wii and Wii U era, where sports titles on competitors' platforms were always vastly superior unfortunately, though, not much has changed. However, 18 months later and the Switch has only received three titles from EA, with the latest addition to the roster being FIFA 19. During the Nintendo Switch reveal in early 2017, EA took to the stage to announce its new partnership with Nintendo. To those who are new to FIFA on Switch, then a slight history lesson is in order.
