    Maybe I need to get used to it.. but after one day i feel the same problems from FIFA 17 only got worse. Less tension and tactics and more spectacle. Defenders feel powerless most of the time. Scores like 6-3 are not uncommon. FIFA 18 feels like a Michael Bay Hollywood remake of FIFA 17.
    EDIT.. It does get better

    FIFA 18 apresentou várias mudanças comparado ao seu antecessor, um dos melhores da série nessa geração, mas peca na quantidade de bugs e nas microtransações (como de costume) no modo Ultimate Team

    JOGABILIDADE - A jogabilidade está parecida com o seu jogo antecessor, porém, mais cadenciado. O sistema de passes, chutes e defesa são bem planejados, mas é nesse ponto que os bugs atrapalham, os passes são extremamente bugados, várias vezes o jogador se ve mirando o analógico pra passar a bola pra um jogador, mas a IA toca a bola pra outro, ou faz um passe extremamente ridículo. Muitas vezes os ''stats'' dos jogadores não correspondem dentro do jogo, por exemplo, o jogador (Ozil) tem stats de passe muito bom, porém, o jogador erra passes extremamente ''fáceis'' de se realizar (isso vale pros chutes também). No geral, a jogabilidade é boa, mas os bugs muitas vezes estragam a diversão durante a partida.

    MODOS DE JOGO - O Modo carreira apresentou diversas mudanças no sistema de compra e venda de jogadores, agora é possível realizar as propostas de transferências conversando diretamente com o técnico do time e o jogador a ser transferido, onde acontece uma cutscene interativa com as escolhas da proposta da transação.
    O modo jornada melhorou comparado ao FIFA 17, com mais cutscenes e uma história melhor elaborada, porém, como em seu antecessor, em algumas partes chega a ser enjoativo.
    Já no modo Ultimate team, a EA disponibilizou um novo modo chamado ''Squad Battles'', onde se joga várias partidas durante a semana pra se obter uma recompensa em moedas/packs. Oque estraga o modo são as microtransações, os chamados ''FIFA points'' são moedas compradas com dinheiro real pra se abrir packs que contém jogadores, na qual esses packs são muito difíceis comprar com o dinheiro ganho do jogo, devido ao seu preço, ou seja, quem gastar mais dinheiro com o jogo, vai ter um melhor time, aumentando suas chances de vencer as partidas.

    GRÁFICOS - Os gráficos estão muito bonitos, as expressão facial dos jogadores mais conhecidos, como Cristiano Ronaldo e Messi, está excelente, já de jogadores não tão populares assim, tal expressão não é tão bem feita. A torcid a cada fifa fica cada vez melhor, deixando o jogo mais realista a cada versão

    FIFA 18 é um bom jogo de futebol, apresenta uma boa jogabilidade, seus modos de jogo são divertidos e apresentou várias inovações, porém, a quantidade de bugs e as microtransações surreais estragam parte da experiencia, dessa forma, fazendo vários players desistirem de jogar o game.    … Expand

    Mucho mejor que el Fifa 17, más completo y con un gameplay más dinámico, pero obviamente igual de básico. Personalmente lo encuentro más agradable por sus nuevos trofeos que implican más juego y dedicación.
    Como todos los años, la personalización del juego es una basura y da mucha pena.

    Good game, enjoying it much more than I did FIFA 17. Always loved football games but I would love to see some more improvements to career mode. Maybe a bit more efforts to make you hyped to be a footballer again instead of the same slightly improved game every year.

Another addition is the objectives chart, allowing you to complete certain tasks and gain rewards, currently the daily rewards do not provide much benefits, but the weekly and monthly rewards (when they arrive) should have objectives and rewards that feel like you are working towards a goal. Overall, the tightened game-play mechanics and the overall general improvements are well done enough to keep FIFA at the top of its game when everything is working as it should.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Several new features were added this year. None were major, but were all slightly enjoyable anyway.
    The Journey gets a new installment, which is good, besides the horrible stretches of gameplay where no cutscenes occur and the mode feels like a grind similair to the Player Career Mode. The plot is fairly enjoyable and raises a smile sometimes. Career mode recieves a very small re-do. Managers now discuss transfers in small cutscenes, the CPU can be a little too demanding at times though and that's when frustration hits. You can now view your squad in a slightly more comprehendable menu. Besides that, Career Mode has remainded the same.
    Ultimate Team is still the disgusting, sickening money machine it always was. Grinding for the best players like Ronaldo without spending any money is impossible, it takes months. Real cash needs to be spent to get the best. There is no other point to this mode. It's a mobile game within a Console game. The online features are what you expect from EA. Clunky servers and lag make the modes unplayable for some, including myself. The modes themselves are okay, best of which is Virtual Clubs (In My Opinon). Sadly, Creation Centre is still not back. It was definetly a fan favourite and added alot to my gameplay expierience. There is a few new licenses including Iceland, Saudi Arabia, Sparta Praga and a few more. The gamplay features such as new dribbling and crossing are actually really enjoyable and a big boost from FIFA 17. Dribbling with a good dribbler is enjoyable and crossing has more curve and tends to find a player more often than not. The Crowds are fine and new celebrations add a small bit of authenticity. Set Pieces remained the same. Quick subs is a new feature where you can make well... Quick Subs. Very sadly though, defending is incredibly hard and depends more on luck than skill. Goalkeepers are a joke. So to sum this review up, it's not that bad.
    Both games are only OK but I'll stick with FIFA for now.    … Expand

    7/10 - Nunca he sido fan de ningún juego de esta franquicia (FIFA), sin embargo, aunque el juego no me atrapó ni fascinó, me gustó lo suficiente. No sé que tanto varía con sus versiones predecesoras y sucesoras pero la inclusión del mundial Russia 2018 y las ligas femeninas me parecieron geniales.

    FIFA 18 has improved marginally in areas where you'd expect it to, but in my opinion, regressed in other areas through EA's decision to put in a half-assed effort at making the game seem more true to life, while at the same time go out of their way to favor attack over defence and making other changes that does the game no favors in making it seem like the real thing.

I've noticed that some people genuinely love these changes, and that's fair enough, but I strongly disagree when people say that FIFA 18 has taken the franchise in a more realistic direction. It hasn't. If slowing everything down is all it takes to make a game seem more realistic, then EA have an easy job ahead of them.

    Unfortunately, I don't think we're anywhere close to getting a convincingly realistic FIFA game. Do people really want that, though? PES has been a substantially more realistic football simulator for some time now, bar their lack of licenses for player names and whatnot. Yet, the majority of people still seem to prefer the gameplay-wise more arcadey, FIFA franchise.    … Expand

    This FIFA looks like a copy of FIFA 17 but It has some new features like trade, purchase or sell players with his own trainers on GM mode, the journey returns with Alex Hunter, It has nice graphics, and the gameplay still good.

El modo camino a mejorado mucho y nos da una historia bastante entretenida, que simula bien al de un futbolista real. El modo carrera ha mejorado un poco gracias a las cinemáticas cuando fichamos a alguien o cuando hacemos un fichaje poner un gif de la rueda de prensa del jugador que has fichado.

    MALO: La defensa ha empeorado, se adelanta mucho las líneas y aunque pongas poner el autobús, igualmente se adelantan mucho y esto provoca que te puedan ganar muchas veces las espaldas.
    No hay suficientes estadios, la liga española es un ejemplo, solo está el Santiago Bernabéu y el Wanda Metropolitano. Se que el FCBarcelona no tiene el camp nou por derechos, pero el San Mamés?? Sanchez Pijuan??? o el Mestalla??? estadios europeos que no están en este fifa y encima que tiene la licencia de la LaLiga Santander. El camino tiene cosas buenas, pero, también cosas malas. El camino dispone de solo 6 equipos para que el jugador que controles (Alex Hunter) pueda jugar, quiero decir que solo puede jugar en esos equipos, y no dispone de más. Tiene una apartado de personalización muy limitado.

    Conclusión: Si amas el fútbol como yo este juego te puede gustar, ahora bien si eres una persona que solo juega por jugar, este juego no te va gustar. Mi opinión es que me ha encantado como está vivo los estadios y también los marcadores de las ligas oficiales....hasta ahí bien, pero a la hora de jugar es un poco mierda...como defender en este fifa es una porquería y hay jugadores que tienen una media super alta y son unos jugadores que no son para tanto, y jugadores que son geniales en la realidad y le ponen medias super bajas. También quiero dejar claro que este juego hay equipos muy chetados, pero hay uno en especial que es Real Madrid. En mi opinión me está bien que porqué la temporada pasada han ganado casi todo los jugadores sean mejorados, pero no tenían que haber puesto que si un jugador es lento como el Nacho en la realidad, gane en el fifa a un felipe luis, y cristiano porque sea la portada no tiene que ser más bueno que messi, y hablando de messi en este fifa es más surrealista, no puede ser que solo regate a uno y despues ya esta no puede regatear mas o que un medio que no tiene nada de fuerza, le gana en cuerpo, es como el cristiano también es surrealista pero a lo bueno, es decir esta chetado los tiros,los regates,fuerza y ha messi nada le bajan, y también pierde muchos balones, es increíble. El camino me a gustado es muy interactivo aunque solo sean 6 equipos pero te pones la piel de un futbolista y si te gusta el futbol te gustara mucho, aparte que también se puede personalizar a Alex Hunter. El modo carrera también a mejorado por el aspecto de poner cinemáticas, lo hace mas realista, pero necesita más personalización. Online tambien es muy vicioso, pero ultimate team no a cambiado mucho es lo mismo que el año, pero bueno si funciona se puede dejar tal y como esta, pero aun sigue con el mercado de fifa points, me da una rabia ahora estos años de videojuegos que pongas micropagos a juegos....la industria se va a la mierda....

    bueno en conclusión no es recomendado a los que solo juega por jugar.
    No estamos a un fifa de la ostia, le falta personalización, mejora de la defensa, mejora del camino, i ser mas realista con jugadores    … Expand

    FIFA 18, was a little disappointing. If you own FIFA 17, I question the point and if you don't then I would consider it carefully. The controls are ok but not a patch on PES 2018 and it's slightly marred (like many EA games) with the constant packs and micro-transactions.

    Fifa 18 is basically 17, but with some little changes made on the menus, a little tweak on the game play, some new features on carrer mode and a better FUT experience. Still falls to it's knees for its lack of sufficient content for players coming from the previous title.

    But it's Fifa.

    I have the same problem every year when the new FIFA comes out and this year was no exception. The amount of changes brought to the game do not warrant a completely new game.

    FIFA 18 has brought a couple new things to the table such as Alex Hunters return in the journey. While i loved the opening hours of it, it slowly downgraded and fell victim to last years problem where you'd practice, then play a game. Rinse and repeat. Going a long time without having anything interesting happen in a story mode can really test the players patience. Especially if your like me and dont really find Alex that interesting to begin with.

    Ultimate team also got an upgrade with the introduction of squad battles. I actually really enjoyed this as it kept me playing and was a good way to earn coins. It does feel unbalanced however as there are times i'll smash a team that is way better than mine then get smashed by a team that is way worse.

    Those are what i'd say are the 2 big additions from last years FIFA. There are some things here that actually feel worse than last years game though. Defending being the big one that comes to mind. For the life of me i can't seem to defend good in this game and neither can the AI as they stare and watch the ball roll right past them.

    Overall its just another FIFA game, if you liked it last year you'll most likely like it this year and the same is true if you hated it last year, you'll still hate it this year.

    By rebuilding the animation system the developers managed to significantly improve footballers’ responsiveness, which results in more fluent gameplay and lets you perform tighter maneuvers. That makes attacking a real joy, but in my opinion turned defense into frustrating chore that requires too much precision. [12/2017, p.42]
