FIFA 19 Discussion (PC Version)

On a different note, has anyone noticed a formation issue when using mods that changes a team's default formation?

For example, when using FIP v2, Bayern Munich is set to 4-3-3 in the FIP Database, yet when going into Team Management in game, Bayern Munich shows up as 4-1-4-1 and players like Lewandowski, Coman and Gnabry are out of position as a result.

In my brief testing, I've noticed it seems to occur whenever a mod DB changes a team's default formation from what EA had originally set it to (in my earlier example, Bayern's default EA formation before mods is 4-1-4-1 and FIP changes it to 4-3-3 - there are other teams with the same problem, Borussia Dortmund being another).

This is not limited to FIP, as EEP also has the same problem.

I'm using the fully updated, final Title Update version of the game using EA App.

Has anyone here got any possible solutions to this (outside of using Team Management to manually fix a whole bunch of formations)?

For anyone interested, after some messing around, I figured out the problem, at least for FIP v2 - The FIFA Infinity team forgot to edit the default_mentalities data in the DB to match the edits that they made to default_teamsheets, causing players to be out of position in Team Management for any teams that the FIFA Infinity team changed the formation for in default_teamsheets.

I recreated default_mentalities using the data in default_teamsheets and then imported it into a squad file, which has now fixed this positioning/formation problem - players will now be correctly positioned when viewing the team in Team Management, and the team will have its correct formation set. So for example, Lewandowski is no longer on the Left Wing and is now Centre Forward for Bayern, and Nastasic is no longer on the Right Wing and is now Centre Back for Schalke, to name a couple of easy to check examples.

Squad File attached below for anyone wanting to make use of this with FIP v2 (specifically the Brazilian version). Simply paste this into your FIFA 19 documents folder where your squad files are saved, and then load via Load Squads in game after launching with Frosty and FIP v2 Brazilian mod applied. Enjoy!

Mmm, cleaning out stuff I found my xbox disc for this.... Installed and really enjoyed it. Nice goals and dont know if I got used to FIFA22-24 but much less skate-y. Had good games with some unexpected plays
Gotta work w sliders as AI can sometime just flip a switch and tiki taka when they want to score

The last title where I felt like I actually had full control of my players

After 19, the players magically incorporated foot movements and skills you never asked the player to do and everybody had inherited the living spirit of Ronaldo and could walk past 8 players and shoot from 45 yards.

Yeah unfortunately that's true. I decided to pass on it when it got released exactly for this reason, it looked like chaeting to me.
Coming back to it after some years, though, I must admit that it's there but it isn't as annoying as I thought when the game was released.
Probably it's a matter of choosing the lesser of the evils here.

Slowing down the passing by 1 to 49 or even by 2 to 48 stops most of the tika-taka if you experience it. I've never really found it an issue as I press pretty hard to win the ball back. 19 was the last title you could really launch into some naughty tackles and get away with it if there was a hint of ball first

Haven't played Fifa in a while and was looking to free up some space on my pc... Loaded up FIFA 19 to play a game to see if it can be fancied for deletion but nope i can never delete this game!

Now thinking of using Football manager regens and importing them into fifa 19 to give the rosters some dynamism
