    The game itself is fine (8/10), but the launch day EA MISTAKE disabling the ability to play for long hours and the constant gamebreaking bugs they introduce in updates makes the game deserve only 4/10.

    First off, I own both PES 2018 and FIFA 18.
    I appreciate the merits of both games. PES is more nuanced and I feel I've only scraped the surface of what is possible. Truth is, I will probably never take the time to learn all the intracasies of PES. So that's why I return to Fifa all the time. I'm looking for a fun football game that I can play with my mates and offline. This is it.

    Slick presentation, animations are well done.

    Complaints about defending are by those that can't anticipate runs or understand positioning.

    They've done some great work with the AI this year. Your players make more intelligent runs so you can get some great moments when playing the ball through.

    Sure, there are a few oddities, but nothing that warrants a zero score review on here.

    How you can take a decent game and crap on it it's beyond me. Why did you have to change the shooting mechanics?? EA managed to ruin the game. It's FIFA 07 all over again...

    The next installment in a frustrating genre, it's good but not as good as it can be. Graphically it looks great, smooth animations, slick UI, absolutely great. This along with the fully licensed leagues and players make fifa what it is.

Graphically it looks great, smooth animations, slick UI, absolutely great. This along with the fully licensed leagues and players make fifa what it is.
    But the sad thing about it all is the fact that they don't make an effort to improve.

    The journey was a fun introduction to the series, but it got boring fast last year. This year it's even worse, I would like to see better writing, but this is a sports game and I don't mind the story being cheesy. However, it doesn't make sense this time around. It's such pandering to the US market it's sickening. In FIFA 17 I started with a small club thinking I would be able to get transferred to any big club in the world, but nope it was completely scripted, so I was stuck at Watford. This time I wouldn't get burned so as an AMC I signed for Manchester United. Real Madrid is a great club, but I don't care for them irl, so it felt awkward being forced to leave United, and I was glad the deal fell through. The game goes on and the scripted event starts being 3-0 down. My difficulty settings were set way too low and I scored 6 times after coming on. But somehow the story acted as if the poor performance was my fault even though we won 6-3 after being behind. Those are things that happen in a scripted story, and I could somewhat live with that. But then the **** starts, the game pretending a first team player of United only has LA Galaxy giving a way out? Then pretending Galaxy are some kind of super squad with overrated players, Van Damme being a monster in defence while he now has a hard time making the squad for a small team in Belgium... It just doesn't make sense. Oh and never mind that after the American adventure I was transfered to Atletico Madrid, the club of my dreams while Real being the club of my dreams 6 months earlier. (Do these devs even understand football) I did like the implementation of the womens game though, but on a whole it's a dud again. And frustrating as the entire game, it could have so much better if wasn't as scripted.

    So on to the game itself, controlling a full team, it feels the same as always, decent enough, but it never feels like a real football game. it's a game of one-two, threaded pass and speed your way to the goal. You have to force yourself to make it exciting. And this has been the case for years. I played PES 2018 a bit and the difference in playing the game is unbelievable. It's a shame PES isn't nearly as polished, has crap commentary, menus, graphics, licenses, ... so it's hard playing that game, but boy do they know how to make the gameplay fun and not nearly as grindy as fifa. This has been so frustrating for years, give me the gameplay of pes in the fifa polish and we would have the perfect football game. Fifa has copied so many controls of pes, but still unable to copy the core game, and it's a shame. And we're talking about 10+ years of the same complaints.

    There's one major complaint I have with the fifa polish, the end of the season is still infuriating. During your championship games, there's still way too little indications to know if you're going to be crowned champions or not. It can't be that hard to implement more tension in those last couple of games. Now you have to wait to the final whistle and hope the commentary and the cutscene start. Also make sure that the last games of the season are played at the same time. Last game of the season I won and was 2 points ahead of Real, but somehow real had still a game to play after that. I got an email to inform me of winning the championship... This isn't right.

    So all in all it's a decent game, but if there's one series that could benefit from taking a couple of years off, build the core gameplay from the ground up, it's fifa. EA Sports, you have a great example in PES on how the game can flow, so please use it for a change. Unfortunately reality tells me this isn't going to happen with a moneycow like this, but I'm done giving out high scores for minimal development. Descent game, not worth the money if you bought the previous 4 versions.    … Expand

    Yeah I like, it is better than Fifa 16 (i dont play 17). After 1st update (3/10/20117), when goalkeepers, long-range shots, radar and nets have been fixed, it is balanced - finally. Graphic is awesome, sound either. Defending is weird, but it is a habit. Online cooperative mode is fun. Maybe difficult is strange.

    Men, do not joke! This fifa wins hands low on any other edition. It is great. If there are any negative reviews of some idiot, it depends on the fact that they are fanboy of BC, which is still a good football game, nothing more.

    This year Fifa is better than other editions of the past. Carreer mode is super. During the match all things are improved. Fantastic gameplay and superb graphic. IA is clever, and if you play at champion difficulty is just pretty difficult.

    Surely with so much complaint about Scripting EA would take note and take steps to move FIFA 18 in the right direction? But no, same scripted BS that we've seen in at least the last 5 iterations. No point playing a game which largely determines the outcome before a ball is kicked.

    FIFA did not go on the revolution path of this year, it took a perfectly thoughtful evolution. Thanks to a few small innovations game is funnier, and no one can curse it for only pulling the money out of your pocket. [Issue#280]

    EA Canada gave their all to story mode. Even though there’s far less leeway for story writers in FIFA than in, say, an FPS game, they’ve managed to weave a compelling story that puts Battlefield to shame. [Issue#224, p.63]

    On the pitch, it's a real improvement of the usual strong FIFA package. Off the pitch, however, the innovations are missing.
