    Worst career mode (both manager and player) ever made.
    Sometimes I just want to have fun playing career mode.
    But they simply abandoned the career mode.
    This is easily the worst Fifa ever made.
    I'll NEVER pre-order ANY game by EA AGAIN

    10 for EA ,-10 for dynamic difficulty adjustment.
    DDA is sucks!
    You make 10 shots on goal= no goal
    CPU makes 2 shots on goal= 2 goals
    You find that you suddenly can't pass or rescue when the opponents in front of you!

    Fifa 18 feels like an ambitious attempt to make the game more realistic in comparison to last year.
    The truth is that the opposite has been achieved: in this year's version, it feels like the developers tried to put multiple animations together without trying if it works altogether. Yet again, the game suffers from inconsistent gameplay which makes this a zero fun experience. A real

    nu recomand acest joc , e prea ofticat :)))) orice ai face nu ai cum sa castigi la sbc sau single player deoarece se oftica jocul prea tare si nu ai ce face . Va face in asa fel incat ca ei sa castige , toate mingile o sa sara doar la ei , portarul le apara pe toate chiar si din vinclu chiar daca are 54 overall , al tau u apara nimic , deci in concluzie nu recomand e prea ofticat =)))

    best FIFA so far. it could be better if they provide more options in offline modes (champions league etc.) rather then improving money trap FUT modes.. Apart from that everything is good: online mode is great comparing to PES and graphs are amazing.

    Second,My 82 rated goalkeeper is better than 92 rated icon gk,Also low driven shots and long shots from 45degree through back post always get into the net.No matter which player you use...You always score

    3th,Defending is AI automatic no need to get high rated defenders.

    4th,Pack weights are so bad,you can pay thousands of euros,but you wont get an above average player out of the packs %99.99 of the time.

I also play it fully on manual, which makes it even more difficult at times I will probably either raise or lower my score in a few months, but to all the whiners that give it a zer0; just get a life why don't you.

    Anyway for me FIFA 18 takes everything that was good from the classic PES gameplay and, along with the licensing, ramps it up graphically to new heights. EA have added ingenuity to gameplay modes that Konami can only dream off (or obviously not). The other user reviews should be completely ignored as they just have a grudge against EA, which is really pathetic considering how much effort they have put into this game. I know they have a lot more money to play with but hats off to EA Sports for a game that is perfect in every way.

Someone said, the game sometimes makes you a goalkeeper and blame it on the game scripting it this way. Does this person actually realize, that there is a button that makes you Goalkeeper? So this guy probably smashes his controller, not know what hes doing, and then blaming the game for it. Another dude said, this is the worst game, playes like arcade. When that is the exact thing that was changed this year. Its now way more realistic. Shows you how much this User knows. He probably never played the game and is just **** on it. Expand

    Fifa 18 mantem a qualidade de seu antecessor e lapida sua jogabilidade deixando as partidas mais rápidas e dinâmicas do que nunca, o que traz sem dúvida muita diversão.

    A série Fifa deixou de ser um simulador, e se tornou muito mais arcade, com partidas onde vemos frequentemente passes e dribles muito rápidos e bem distantes da realidade.
    Apesar dos problemas repito que o jogo é muito divertido.

    This game is the absolute definition of trash. The game is basically unplayable. Literally the worst company with their predatory tactics. I hope some other gaming company creates a better football game. These critic reviews are 100 percent paid for. Because in reality, the USER SCORE is a true review of this terrible game.

    I know that this review is coming a bit late, but I just want to point out how every fifa game is pretty much the same now.
    Graphics of the game look like they come from fifa 14. The game play feels the same like all other fifa games. It's competitor Pes 2018, has much better graphics and game play (not to mention that it has lower budget than fifa 18). This just proves how greedy EA has become.

    While playing moves are more realistic, and 4k graphics are enjoyable, EA servers are often down, forcing you to re-login with lots of latency.

    Sadly, the game is also geared around in-game purchases to advance more quickly, and as a casual gamer, you won't be able to buy any high key players without either making huge in game purchases, or playing for literally years.

    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]
