    FIFA is always the same - a big cash grab to buy it every year full priced. But if you wait for some months, you get a good soccer game for a low price. Overall rating: 7.3.

    I decided to go back to old fifas because I'm highly disappointed with the recent ones. This Fifa is actually one of the best fifas out there. These people were just too harsh on fifa 18.

    As a big soccer fan and FIFA enthusiast since 2002, I was deeply disappointed about the 2018 installment. Nothing new, micro-transactions behind every corner - all in all a big cash grab. At least, the controls, graphics, soundtrack and overall feeling are still on point.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pelo visto a EA vai melhorando o FIFA a cada ano que passa, é como se o jogo tivesse lançado há anos atrás e sofresse atualizações anuais, como essa de gráficos, onde deixou o FIFA 18 como um jogo de geração PS4. Mais uma vez tendo o The Journey brilhando como o principal motivo para se jogar esse jogo, desta vez com uma história bônus de outro personagem, o que pode abrir portas para mais personagens no futuro, isso se o modo continuar existindo. De resto, é o mesmo jogo de sempre que dá angústia de jogar, mas pelo menos deixou os gráficos mais realista, o que me deu vontade de jogar bastante o Modo Carreira de Manager! Expand

The graphics suck, I see barely any change from its predecessors.

    If you want a fun football game to kill time, Fifa is surely a good choice, there's really no equal games on the market at the moment, though. But its just so lackluster, it feels like there's no vision or passion behind it.

    FIFA 18 seems to be a return to form for this series. The gameplay seems to have improved with better defensive AI which presents a challenge, but is not impossible to defeat.

The second part of "The Journey" trilogy is actually quite entertaining and compelling.

I do not understand low user scores for Fifa 18 since I think it is one of the best Fifa’s and my favourite right now in 2021. Probably users were right since it had goalkeeper problems and too effective finence shots at launch. However finence shots were optimized in first title update and goalkeepers were improved in 3 different title updates. Still if you are not happy from goalkeepers you can improve them from options menu skillers (I adjusted to 55 and perfectly balanced now). Regarding graphics, animations and most of all gameplay is amazing. Shots, passes, defending and CPU AI is great. After buying fifa 21 i hated the game and I regret I bought it. I decided to try old Fifa games and downloaded Fifa 18 and I was so surprised. For me Fifa 18 is the best football game now .I am a Career Mode player and I enjoy it so much.It is a great improvement on Fifa 17 basis. Additionally World Cup 2018 is very enjoyable and licensed. Regarding online I will not comment because I did not play much.
    This game is hundred times better than Fifa 21 and Fifa 20 and better than Pes 2020 and 2021.

    In conclusion, even today in 2021 January I strongly recommend all players to give Fifa 18 a try. A final hint will be that for Fifa 18 EA finished gameplay title updates in January 2018 (4 months from launch) whereas in last Fifa games it continoues till May. It shows how gameplay is better in my opinion.
    Enjoy Fifa18 , In these quarantine days you will thank me.

At the same time ur opponent team become crazy - they can hit long shot goal from 40m with a player with 60 long shot stat. And its not just random moments, based on composure of a players or usual mistake chance - its a periods of time - not single moments, that proves its not random at all. This game have same bugs years and years. It looks like developers just didnt test it, bcoz i dont know how to explain such a dumb things in career mode, like its impossible to grow balanced young player. Even if u'll have 90 overall youngsters, they'll be total imbalanced. Some their stats will be 99, and many others (like stamina, strenght, composure, aggression etc) will be 40. And this **** repeats every year. That's just a bad game. Expand

    This is the first FIFA I played since 99 and 09. Graphically these games have evolved a lot, and it looks great. But now it's just a business aimed towards multiplayer and loot boxes. Even the World Cup update was lackluster. I was a big fan, but football games just aren't what they used to be.

    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.

    Very good game in general, fast gameplay, it does not slow down if the internet connection is low. My only complain is that I lost wins because after the matches, i lost the connections with Servers!! But my brother was playing from the same PS4, and he didn't have any problems. I contacted EA, but nobody seemed to be able to compensate me. THAT IS DISGUSTING FOR BILLIONAIRE COMPANY.

    The same game as FIFA 16/17. The constant pulling of money from fans, and a low-quality product. EA simply mocks football fans by saying that it’s a football simulator. In fact, it’s just an arcade game that is only indirectly related to football. After this part I went to KONAMI.

    - NEW ingame bugs which are too many to list in this review (e.g. "stuck in the mud" bug; can not get control over your player getting magnetized towards a loose ball - like you previously could with LT+RT for years; etcetera etcetera).

    2. Misc. Server location is poor unless you live in certain few areas of the world. I can't comrehend how EA can't afford a few more server locations to make the game playable, while FORCING us to play on their servers in certain gamemodes (including a current "professional" gig, where you have to qualify based on WL results on their servers located too far away and too busy to be playable) as opposed to PvP where my connection is often perfect.

    As a seasoned player I'm disappointed with the way the game is developing: gameplay decline + seemingly no effort put in testing and no effort in making simple things comfortable. All the attention and effort is being put in bright lights, posters, and making people slot machine addicts, sorry I mean: big Ultimate Team players. Which in itself WOULDN'T have been an issue for me, if the substance of the game wasn't neglected like it currently is. The fact that the game is getting worse (worse, and worse) than it was several years ago in terms of mechanics and variety - is absurd.

    You don't really play, you just kind of watch scripted scenes happen that make anything you do entirely pointless. Changing games from one second to the other, what annoys me the most is when my players seemingly run automatically in a different ways to what i'm inputing. Or defensive players I'm not controling literally moving out of the way to open up scoring chances for attackers. In other situations you have pretty much no control. It generally ends up feeling like not matter what you do, outcomes are changed depending on what result the game aims for. Started the journey and didn't even stick with it for more than half an hour before getting bored with it. Never played oline so I can't assess that, this is just too horrible a game for me to bother. And of course the usually complaints about just generally bad gameplay, horrendous controls and outdated looking graphics.
    I'm guessing it's all about the hardcore addicts spending massive amounts of money on the online features, never actually looked at those so that part doesn't really into my opinion of this game too much. First EA game i bought in a long while, and the last. The usual quality you can expect from them.
    Critic Reviews are once again a joke. This game is just aggressively bad.

There's no cutscenes or anything interesting when you sign with teams, you have to ask for a transfer and you don't get offers at end of season like you used to get, which in my opinion is 10 times more interesting instead to ask for transfer and wait for teams to hit you up (most of them are **** teams anyways and you gotta wait days to receive any offers at all). There's so much customization of look, tattoos, things you wear and overall cool stuff in The Journey but they didn't add that to career, why? Most stupid thing of all is how you develop your player, get like 85+ SUM, win 90% of matches, be the top scorer in every league and cup, and your manager will still not pick you for the matches sometimes, this sort of AI is the worst you could come up with. Like you develop a player of your own, train hard to get as much SUM as possible, do your best, you get picked for semis of world cup but not for finals, what the...? This is a complete joke, perfect example of EA going just for the money which is sad they just betray all the people that played FIFA for so long and screw up on so many ends because they have to save as much money as possible. This is the standard: "we have a brand, we have a product, copy+paste last year product, spend 1m$ budget to add some random stuff and we got a new series that's gonna give us 300m$ in sales, good". Complete joke. The commentary is so repetitive as well, it's unbelievable. I swear it's so sad how like big selling titles just be like lets spend 0.5% of our profits from last year and make another **** title and use our long standing reputation/brand to get sales anyways.

    The new defensive system in this game just ruins the whole FIFA experience for me. EA is focusing too much on realism that they forget to focus on the fun about the game. FIFA 18 is a downgrade from FIFA 17. They're getting worse with each game release. Though the graphics is better than the previous, everything else is a downgrade for me.
    Probably the worst FIFA game to date!

I've seen some gameplay footage of fifa 19 already and it just looked like a lazy rehash of Fifa 18. I wont be buying anymore EA games for a long while, they are up there with the cancers of the gaming industry like Activision. Fifa in my opinion is all about milking the younger generation into spending money on ultimate team packs and its pathetic how much some people spend sometimes to have any real chance of getting decent players for their team. This game is a crock of **** Steer well away. PES is the football game to buy this year. Expand

The game is more beautiful, better and more playable compared to the previous part. There are plenty of game modes (tournaments, coupons, local multiplayer modes and online multiplayer modes). In addition, the World Cup mode is also available for free in the honor of the World Cup. There is also the FIFA Ultimate Team (in short: FUT) - and Journey Mode (this feature was already in the previous section) where the previous section we can manage his career as a storyman with little RPG-light development. As far as the game is concerned, the graphics are more beautiful than the FIFA 17, the look of the players is more detailed, the graphics are almost disconnected from the screen. The playability, control has improved, the more realistic it is. I guess the goal was the level of PES gameplay. Sometimes a bit bigger mistake is sometimes slipped away. The other beauty problem in the game, however, is the balance of online matches. It has not happened once in a while (I think many of us) that every transfer is caught against, after all the collisions the ball will remain with him ... Also, Mortal Kombat-like, meter-mounted installations are commonly judged by spores. Overall, the game is more beautiful and better.
      POSITIVE: beautiful, detailed graphics, elaborate and animated players, many modes of play, the story mode has been all over
    NEGATIVE: unbalanced online matches, management mistakes, the game could still be polished

Sad to see little has improved 3 years later, the only noticeable improvement are the player face graphics and the crowd.

    I only played online, but defending is a mess - AI players just stand around as the ball rolls past them to the opponent, teammate contain is useless due to them marking like 3 yards away and not pressing, keepers are retarded and will let in everything shot from within the box. Still can't switch quick tactics when not during active play.

    Most people in online seasons just pick Real Madrid and cheese with Bale and Ronaldo outrunning every defender.

    Attacking consists of mostly luck it seems, as balls either go your way all game or they don't. That's probably the scripting that a lot of reviews on here mention.

    Overall a big let down. I'll check out what 19 is bringing to the table, but i doubt i'll be buying that one either judging by how little improves each year.

    The game is bad, defenders seem to work on the side of the opponent, whenever I want to give a pass they deliver to the adversary and as usual, they make the goal obviously, even in the goal shot when I want to simply touch, the ball goes in a direction different and goes exactly to whom? Pro adversary who was already waiting there.
    do not have an EA whim in that **** I can not turn a player that he completely, leaves the ball free to the adversary and they are always slow, always when I look at a kick or pass, my players send to random places, I'm tired of a defender to miss a simple pass and not have competition to recover, the attackers are much faster than my defenders! no matter what team I use or am facing.
    every game in this game did not amuse me, I play soccer to have fun, but that does not allow me, and that I did not play online and never intend to play.
    FIFA18 was my first big disappointment of the year, I will never buy EA titles again, mainly from this junk.

    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.

    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]
