    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 =)))

    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!

    Microtransactions and scripting ruin the game. EA turns a blind eye to players' rage at microtransactions developing only Ultimate Team to turn the game into a cash grabbing machine.

    Worst FIFA I've ever played for decades. I was playing FUT Mode since it began. This year it's so obvious, they've made this game "Pay to win". We're not a fool to spend hundreds of dollars to get a decent squad. They're pointing out clearly, pay more than 60 bucks otherwise GTFO of FUT Mode. I'm saying FO to all who developed this money based game. Thanks for ruining a legendary series.

    That's incredible that EA change the gameplay of FIFA 18. Now, anyone can put a goal to anyone, even the players who trained a lot. for playing this game, you don't need skills, you need chance, that's all.

Everything about this game is so bad it's unbelievable. The AI of the game is so stupid, you can simulate matches when winning 3-0 at 80 minute in the game and the team comes back 4-3 in these 10 minutes, the hell? 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.… Expand

    I have played Fifa since 2007 and I enjoyed them with the goods and the bads, but I must honestly say that this year it is the worst of them.

The player faces during cutscenes looks like plastic puppets( they are too shinny) and another horrible thing are the the nets.

The goalkeepers are a complete joke , and the defending a complete mess( actually there is no defense). The player faces during cutscenes looks like plastic puppets( they are too shinny) and another horrible thing are the the nets. Whenever you score a goal you have the feeling that you put the ball into a tin.( for singleplayer you can change the setting to make it better). Overall the game do not deserve more than 4, and for the first time I sold my game the second day I bought it and I got Pes 2018 wich this year is stunning from all points of view except licenses ( can be sorted in 5 min with that download file).
    My final advice is to all of you: do not buy Fifa this year as you will regret it , and give Pes a chance even if you are a Fifa fanboy.
    PS: I am neither a Fifa or Pes fanboy. I just want a decent Football game!
    Update on my review after all the patches and over 200 games in FUT. After first few days i sold my game as i stated above but i decided to give it a try again after it have been patched. The game is an absolute mess. Scripting is everywere, mostly in FUT ( It is less visible in seasons though). It is no point playing FUT anymore. it doesent matter if you have good or bad players as scripting decides who wins the game. I can see the outcome of the match after the first 10 min of the game.( same scenario all the time). Scripting is there especially whenever you need desperatly 1 or 3 points to promote or relegate, but not only. I must admit that even all my wins are because of scripting( i cand see the opposing player struggeling to play) same as i do when it happens to me. The most frequent scenario is when a very weak opponent scores a goal in the first 10 min of the game, then until the 80 min you high pressure him , have taken over 20 shoots on goal and his goalie it is like superman or you hit the cross bar 3 or 4 times, and at the 80th min of the game he scores a scripted second goal.
    in conclusion FUT it is a complete mess and a disgrace and not fun at all. The only way that Fifa can be played decently, after it has been patched, it is multiplayer at the same console or at online season.    … Expand

    DEFENCE
    Okay, so first off, yes the defending in Fifa 18 is broken I can only assume it will be balanced at some point. In a way, you could say defending is more realistic I.E. you can no longer just sprint headlong at Messi and get get ball back %90 of the time. you know have to play defense patiently with good positioning BUT!! it then becomes just a matter of time before one of you A.I. just falls asleep, leaving someone wide open in the box. This year offensive players just react so much more sharply to 50/50 balls (a complete reversal from last year) so even when you make a perfectly timed tackle, a lot of the time the attacker will just run onto the ball whilst the defender is still recovering from tackling.
    At least the A.I. miss some shots this year or else every game would end 15 - 10.

    OVERALL 2/10

    OFFENCE
    REJOICE, for it is better than last year! Shooting is the same, well basically the same but you can score from outside the box much more often and I no long feel like %99 of my shots get blocked by a defending players ridiculous reaction speed. The angles on through balls are glorious this year, truly life like (life-like?). Great passers still make obscenely poor passes WAYYYY too often but hey, something improved in Fifa!
    Overall 7/10

    OFFICIATING

    Well let see... I played for 8 hours today and have had a total of 3... yes 3 free-kicks in 15ish matches.
    and I just rage quit because I got a straight red for a basic mistimed slide tackle so it's crap.

    OVERALL 1/10

    SET-PIECES

    They are totally and utterly useless.

    OVERALL 0/10

    PRESENTATION

    Outstanding as always.

    10/10

Passing and shooting feels ‘floaty’ and slow. don’t get the sensation of drilling a cross over or putting together quick crisp passes. Shots also feel disconnected. Playing offline it feels sluggish/ laggy. The number of times I kicked the ball out because of lag was ridiculous. Players don’t close down/ aren't tight to the opposition, 8/10 of conservative tackles I made resulted in a foul. It seems this year all they want you to do is run into players. Which is tough when no player is near the opposition. Yet the computer is up your a$$ the whole time (playing on professional level). Keepers are awful. The opening intro game I won 7-6. Says it all. I read reviews saying they’ve made it more 'Hollywood'. Focusing on attack. Nearly everything you hit goes in, players can’t tackle and keepers might as well not be there. Plus.. it’s slow.. so slow. I have the game settings maxed for speed.. it’s still super slow. I love on Pro Evolution 2017 the the fast breaks, pinging the ball about the pitch, drilling low hard crosses in for the strikers to arrive late and poke home. FIFA18 lacks all feeling. When I unlocked the trophy for scoring from a drilled cross i didn't even realise it was a drilled cross it was so slow and 'floaty'. Without a doubt the worst FIFA in a decade. I'll be opening my wallet again far too soon to purchase Pro Evolution 2018.… Expand

    Feels like an unfinished game. The many different game-modes are perfect. The big problem with this game is the gameplay. Oh boy it is bad! The artificial intelligence of the players is so bad and makes the game pretty much unplayable even for someone who plays 800+ games a year, It's like they don't even test the game before they release it.

And at the same time, for the ''realistic'' purposes, the ball passes literally through your players, you have to take the ball from your opponent five times before you actually have the possession or you get over the midfield with one pass every time you want.

    Not to even mention the gambling side of the Ultimate team, this game is pure rip off.

    Played Fifa since 1998. I remember the times that you can literally pass through the defense. When I mean through, it is literally through the defensive player. Defending in this game worse than that kind of bug. A.I defense is sleeping like they never played football in their life.
    Scripting is another known issue with Fifa, but this time it is really unbearable.

    This year a new version of the game has surpassed all it's predesestors. And a huge part of the community received a completely broken mode Pro Clubs. Critical bugs that not allow to play friendly games between teams and stopped all the international tournaments held in every country of the world. Hundreds of thousands of players spend 2-3 hours of their time to play only one game each evening struggling with the broken mechanics.And these efforts do not always guarantee success. Almost 2 months as EA sports knows about this issue. It released 4 patches to the game, and not one of them did solve this problem. Players tested all possible reason and the occurrence of this error, reported all this information to support, but they do nothing.

    They spend their resources to repair the small problems of the game modes which bring them money for the donation. But it seems they forget that we already paid for the game, and had to get a quality product. We will do our best to make our voice heard and make executives who are responsible for what is happening respect their customers and players.

    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]
