FIFA 19 MICHAEL LABELLE NEW YORK RED BULLS With FIFA 19 on the horizon Esports World Football took time out to speak with New York Red Bull athlete and YouTube sensation Michael LaBelle. The Houston native gave us his final assessment on FIFA 18 and told us what he is expecting from FIFA 19 on its official release.
BY CHRIS LAFFERTY TALKS FIFA 19 “I’m looking forward to making sure we push the culture forward.” Having played FIFA 18 over the past year what’s your final assessment of it? On a personal level what would you like to see in FIFA 19? FIFA 18 lacks the skill gaps necessary for true eSports in my opinion. I’m very curious to see what happens with FIFA 19, because EA is pushing the eSports initiative heavily since the announcement of FIFA Ultimate Team Champions. I hope that EA can master the art of balance with next year’s title. Does FIFA get better each year, or is there a particular year that really stood out for you? I’m a gameplay enthusiast. I still have a lot of love for some of the faster paced titles, even though they weren’t the most realistic simulations. I still remember playing FIFA 2008 for countless hours, because that title was the first time we saw “TRUE SKILL MOVES” and in more recent time, FIFA 15 WAS AMAZING! Very fast paced with a lot of action and the ability to score beautiful goals in each match. As a YouTube star will you be getting an early copy of FIFA 19? I doubt I will get FIFA 19 earlier than the rest of the world, however I was able to capture footage from the EA capture event last year prior to the launch, but I didn’t have the title at home ahead of time. What do you expect from FIFA 19 Weekend league extension. Larger skill gaps . New matchmaking A weekday league. New skill moves. To name a few How long does it take for you to master FIFAhen the latest edition comes out? Every title is different. I would say most professional players start to show promise in the 1st month after launch. But the word “MASTER” is very specific. I would expect professional players to need a few months to truly master gameplay. Out of all the new features revealed by EA Sports what one are you forward to using the most? It’s so hard to judge gameplay until you get to LAUNCH! So… the announcement of the Champions League is the BIG MOVE so far in my opinion. If you were a developer at EA Sports what would you implement into the game? Obviously, my opinion is biased, but I would be restructuring the qualifying format for competitive events. The weekend league needs an overhaul. More time. Matchmaking improvements and a secondary qualification system. What plans have you got for the future? I’m expecting some changes regarding the competitive game modes and of course we have the announcement confirming Champions League in FIFA 19. I’m looking forward to making sure we push the culture forward. I’ve always used my voice to help players get better and develop Esports in the FIFA world. Expect to see more of the same!
