En av höjdpunkterna från årets fotbolls-VM var otvivelaktigt VAR. Somliga hade oroat sig för att det skulle sabba tempot i spelet, men även om kortare pauser uppstod, är det såklart att föredra framför felaktiga domslut. Det har fått somliga att under om det även kommer finnas VAR i FIFA 19, men så blir det inte. Orsaken är däremot inte att EA ogillar tekniken utan för att EA Sports "technically have VAR in the game because we know the pinpoint location of everything", säger FIFA-producenten Matt Prior, som fortsätter:
"The World Cup has been interesting. There's still a learning process of how ultimately it levels out to how it's used. There's a grey area. But it's definitely something we'll monitor. If it becomes part of the footballing fabric to the point where it feels weird that it isn't in a regular game, even if we don't need it, then it's something we can look at introducing.
If there is that anticipation moment in real football that becomes a thing - and if we wanted to create that in our game because of authenticity... if it didn't happen in our game and it's happening all the time in the real game, arguably you could say we're missing a part of the football fabric. So it might then be something we want to do.
But it's something we're monitoring and keeping an eye on."
Låter detta rimligt, tycker du?
