    As a PES and FIFA fan I will honestly say this is the best FIFA they've ever made. Below, I'll list off things they did right and things that need to improve.

    Positives+ +Controls are more responsive and fluid than in previous games. +More licenses making the presentation even better. +Improved physics (IMO the ball in FIFA 17 bounced around way too much, it's like they were kicking
    As a PES and FIFA fan I will honestly say this is the best FIFA they've ever made. Below, I'll list off things they did right and things that need to improve.

    Positives+
    +Controls are more responsive and fluid than in previous games.
    +More licenses making the presentation even better.
    +Improved physics (IMO the ball in FIFA 17 bounced around way too much, it's like they were kicking around a beach ball).
    +Career mode sees some much needed improvements.
    +Graphics look great as always.
    +Cristiano Ronaldo's run and movements are spot on (even though you can really only notice it with him and nobody else.
    +The game feels much more random and less is determined by scripted animations that take too long to complete and ultimately detract from the gameplay (if you've played PES then you know what I'm talking about and it's about time FIFA pulled this off.

    Negatives-
    -Gameplay is improved, but it's not even close to PES 2018.
    -Goalkeepers are the worst I've seen in FIFA ever. They regularly miss saves they should make and other times they just won't even be close to the ball. This needs to be fixed in a patch.
    -The transfer negotiation cut scenes in career mode are a nice addition, but they get old really fast and you just end up skipping them after a few times of watching them.
    -Huge emphasis on attacking. Combined with terrible goal keepers, games are very high scoring this year. One my games against Real Madrid ended Chelsea 7-2 Real Madrid (career mode pre season tournament). It detracts from the immersion when game after game ends 5-1 7-2 5-3 etc.

    I still give the game an 8 because it is better than FIFA 17 and is still fun to play despite all the negatives. I will say with honesty that PES is the better game. If you can get both, then get both, if you're only getting one, then go with PES, download the option files and you're good.

    I rated last year's game an 8 & this one is almost the same game, just more biased towards the attacking team. If you're gonna ask for my money again you've got to make it more worthwhile than this (only upgraded so I can keep playing against my bro/mates)

    Another year, another FIFA. Despite minor improvements, they have refined the predecessor to a very high level. The Journey is awesome and graphics/gameplay are stunning.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It is better than FIFA 17, but a lot is the same. The games physics have improved, and it feels more realistic. The graphics look a tiny bit better, but I can’t really tell.

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

    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.

    If you’re a fan of the game series like I am then you will be more than satisfied with the new additions. If you’re picking up the game for the first time ever then welcome to the party! This may be the best edition yet, with so much to do and finally consistency across platforms so no one feels left out. EA, you have listened to your customers and I thank you for that.

Last point, I'm disappointed that there are still some useless leagues. No business having Chilean, or Korean league, and in the same time some players from the best clubs in the world have generic faces. In 2017! C'mon EA... A solid 8.3/10 from me. Expand

    Out of the box the game is very arcade (too fast, goalkeepers allow weird goals, too easy to score from a distance, to easy to pass the ball), you need to modify the sliders and settings and you can make it slower and more realistic. I am wondering if many reviewers even tried to do that.

    I tried PES 2018 (demo and full game) before buying FIFA 18, and in my opinion FIFA is a much better game including the gameplay (again, with proper settings/sliders).

    Once you find the best settings to make the GK better and more realistic, slow down the game and passing, (both for you and the AI) the gameplay is very satisfying.

    Graphics and presentation are very good, commentaries could be improved.

    There is a good variety of teams to play with, however national teams such as Croatia, Japan, Korea, Iran, Bosnia, Ukraine, Nigeria, and Costa Rica should all be in the game, even as generic it would be better than nothing. We could use a few more clubs (two major Brazilian clubs are missing due to licensing, and a few clubs playing European cups are also missing).

    An edit/import teams mode would be a nice addition. FIFA had the creation center and I don't understand what they got rid of it.

    We definitely could also use more stadiums, EA lost the FC Barcelona's Camp Nou last year, this year tno more Dortmund's impressive stadium. That's quite annoying. Adding an MLS stadium (LA Galaxy) shouldn't be a priority over Napoli's stadium, or Feyenoord, Galatasaray, Maracana, Lyon, Benfica, Celtic and many others.

    Game modes didn't change much from last year which is probably not a bad thing, the journey is back so if you enjoyed it in FIFA 17 that's good news for you. I mostly play offline and manager/career mode so I won't review modes such as Ultimate Team.
    The career mode (as a manager) is good but needs new features other than cut scenes, and to fix some things EA got wrong for years. There are for example too many big transfers made by the computer, players attributes start decreasing way too soon (sometimes before they hit 30 years old!).

    I understand how someone can dislike FIFA 18 just like I gave an honest chance to PES 2018 and didn't enjoy it at all, but the fact you struggle to defend and you don't change the settings and sliders to try different things doesn't deserve a ZERO.
    EA Sports game are mostly arcade, many kids who play sports games now only care about ultimate team, speed, scoring a ton of goals, winning games online...that's okay different generation, things change...Fortunately you can make it what you like (more of a simulation) and have a lot of fun.

    I am not a "fanboy", I earn my money and I think twice before I put so much money in a video game. While this game could be much better and I regret EA doesn't seem to care about certain things, overall it's a very good football/soccer game, whether you want to play it arcade, simulation, online, or offline.

    2- players full body scan 3- new haircuts on the career modes 4-more fluid and slow gameplay, to make it look more realistic. 5- partnership with the VFL

    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]
