Whilst FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch was a solid first effort, one of the biggest issues was that you couldn’t play your friends online.

Well after going hands on with FIFA 19 at EA Play, I can confirm that you can play your friends in full best of 5 online friendlies.

“Enjoy new ways to play on Switch including Online Friendlies. Invite anyone from your friend list and track your rivalry through a five-match season, both in FIFA and FIFA Ultimate Team.”

The game also looks and feels much closer to the PS4/XB1 counterparts but more on that soon.
