FIFA 19: New shooting mechanics will let you score double the goals with triple the style

Missing a goal by an inch will be a thing of the past in FIFA 19 with this new trick

One of the new and innovative features to be introduced in FIFA 19 is Timed Finishing – but until now how it works has been a bit of a mystery.

This new technique enables players to turn any shot into one that is world-class with just one extra tap of a button.

Timing is crucial to this new addition, which will be adding a new layer of risk and reward to the method of shooting.

The process for shooting at its very basic remains unchanged, but if users want to make shots unstoppable, they will be able to use the accuracy and power boost of timed finishing in their favour.

All users will need to do is to tap the “shoot” button a second time after the first hit of the button.

That is the easy part, however – the challenging part of the addition is the timing of the second tap.

If the button is tapped too early or too late, the shot will lessen in quality and the ball will end up in the stands.

With FIFA Trainer turned on, users will see a coloured bar over the player’s head with sliders.

The second tap should come when the sliders hit the green zone in the centre – so if a Timed Finish is successfully unlocked, a short message will appear above the bar that says, “Great Timing!”

This along with the new active touch system will give players greater control of how and when they want to score a goal.
