    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!

    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.

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

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

    Outstanding as always.

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.

    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.

    There is no defending, literally it just doesnt happen, maybe at the start of the game you can put in some tackles but anytime after the 60th minute? Nope be prepared for the opposition to just walk through your defence while players jump out of the way when you press O. Players you dont control actually dont play football, just juts move around, they dont tackle, move into space or even hold a line and you will often have your R/LB just run behind your CB to keep the opposition forward onside.

    Then the biggest fix of them all the fifa ultimate team, yet another farce. Offering these fake packs, while ill admit ive fallen for, ive added enough in to buy well over 150 pack (although this is including coins from games) and the best rated player i have got in one? 81 rated. It is nothing but a fix, from the people I know playing the only ones pulling decent players are those who are pumping money in year after year, its not the lotto system EA would have you believe but just a tab on how much money you put in from which they start to release slightly better players after you hit certain amounts of payments. Want to pull Ronaldo or Messi? Hell even want to pull a half decent player rated over 84 that might sell for some coins? Yeh thats only gonna happen after putting in about 500 pound over the last few years. Its an actual pyramid scheme, the people at the top are shown to get the best rewards to encourage those at the bottom to keep pumping money in to get to the top but the draw is fixed and you need to give EA more and more if you want to get anything half decent.

    Your up against in this squad battle to which depsite being advertsied as you playing similar UT you just come up against teams with both Ronaldo, Messi and a host of others. Despite not having a team close to one team today I was pitted against Ronaldo, Messi, Henry, Ronaldinho, Neymar, Modric, Kroos, Umtitti and Varane (for reference the best player i have is rated 86).

    This game is nothing more than frustrating, its not fun i dont get enjoyment and its often turned off after no more than one or two games.

    Really dont bother wasting your money on this game, its broken, perhaps after a patch or two EA might get the finger out and fix it but I highly doubt these money grabbing a**holes will.    … Expand

    All you do is pass, long pass, score.

    There was possibility to score from distance, and now they nerfed it.
    FUT is still pay to win as always, without top players you won't win

    Sadly PES don't make contribution for EA money stealer's

    Unbelievable how Online Seasons work. It's ridiculous how much the game will alter your players when you take the lead just to let the other player live. That's very unfair. Also, unbelievable that you can't mute the opponents online. This game is trash and I will play it no longer

    The game has a lot of problems with it, for a game which holds all the licenses and all the strong playing cards in their hand they sure don't really make a serious effort do they?

    Here is the list of wrong things in the game-
    - Same old commentary with all the same old rehashed comments from many years ago
    - Many leagues missing Chinese being the main concern for me
    - Half-assed attempt with some leagues such as Serie A which doesn't even have its proper name
    - Hardly any new stadiums added to the game that we would care about
    - Barely any new faces added into the game leagues like SPFL, Eredivisie, Brazilian league, French League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and La Liga completely ignored by EA
    - Relates to above, game only focuses on EPL
    - Career mode has been given minimal attention to improving it which is very sad
    - Lack of new modes
    - Continued support to FUT which proves EA only care about earning even more dirty money which they don't deserve
    - Microtransactions are still in the game
    - No mod support thus we are stuck with this terrible base game unless EA actually do something to improve it themselves
    - Terrible music playlist!!
    - Bugs which leave modes broken
    - Finally barely any new features to make this game worth £39.99-49.99

    Just so I don't sound too negative the goods I think are -
    + Slightly improved graphics and lighting
    + Most players that have had new scans look good
    + Some of the minor changes to career mode are welcome, but still not enough
    + The game for me feels less B.S. with regards to the scripting
    + Gameplay flows well when it works

    I think that is everything I could ever think of, I'm going to try my best to get a refund for this game I'd suggest if its possible for some of you to do the same you should.    … Expand

    Defending is basically a spectating period of the game because if you do anything else than use your teammate to pressure you will run past him a meter or two to the side. Tackles are retarded, standing tackles makes your defender take the biggest step trough out history, and of course missing the ball making him fall 10 miles behind whilst sliding tackles need to be with exact precision.Defending is basically a spectating period of the game because if you do anything else than use your teammate to pressure you will run past him a meter or two to the side. Tackles are retarded, standing tackles makes your defender take the biggest step trough out history, and of course missing the ball making him fall 10 miles behind whilst sliding tackles need to be with exact precision.

    If you try a quick turn (for example fake shot or pass) when attack make sure no one is close because the player needs at least 2 seconds before he starts to move again. Shooting and goalkeeping is ridiculous, get within 30m and fire a shoot and a rock would be better in goal. Even the tiniest players has huge physical advantage compare to the strongest when tackling to win the ball. Obstruction is a absolute joke, can even described how bad it is.

    EA says every year they improved FIFA, but only visual and how "real" the game is. The game is beautiful, no discussion there. To be fair, the game is a decent game compare to reality. But reality as a game sucks. I doubt any of the developers have played football in their life as so much unnatural things happens (such as obstructing the player 40m from the ball and nothing happens).

    TL-DR; Defending is garbage because you have to be at master level to do anything yourself. Attacking is also garbage goalkeepers are useless and walcott easily tackles Ibrahimovic so that he falls. Obstruction isnt a word in EA vocabulary.

    Solemnly based this on FUT. If you want to play online, then this definitely isnt the game for you.    … Expand

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.

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

    And the input delay between actions troubling.
    Its like playing a graphically superior version of PES2018.

    Botting is still ruining the Ultimate team experience.
    And also the menu's lag like there is no tomorrow.
    Squad battles is an improvement for the people that dont like online compition.
    But in the end its very artificial, when a team is loosing 9 out of 10 the AI will sub in some legend or Ronaldo.
    Either way EA does what it always does.    … Expand

    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. Everything could have and should have been brought in an update but instead was added to a whole new game which will run you another 60 dollars.

Everything could have and should have been brought in an update but instead was added to a whole new game which will run you another 60 dollars.

    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.

    My final rating for FIFA 18 is a 6/10    … Expand

    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

    I hadn't played a FIFA since FIFA15, instead I tried PES2016 (which in the end i just couldn't enjoy) and skipped last years editions of football games entirely.

I haven't encounrtered the ridiciulously high scoring matches that others have mentioned (I've played around 25-30 matches offline, 5 online) and the matches have always had realistic scorelines. This may be because I know how to defend, or I'm playing on a suitable difficulty for my ability.

    So far I've been enjoying the Hunter Returns mode, it's a bit slow but it brings a fun dimension to the game and I really enjoyed the "control one player" mode in previous football games.

    I wouldn't say this FIFA is flawless but having first played around 15 matches on the PES2018 demo I am definitely happy with my decision to buy FIFA this year.    … Expand

    Defending is pretty much automated now, you literally just have to stand their and wait for the ai to get the ball back.

    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.

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.

    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

You don’t have to wait nearly a week to buy that player you really want, then the negotiation continues cos he wants a bigger pay packet, it can all be done on the first day of your new management. There are a few improvements on 17 but only a few. Is it better than PES always, cos I get to play with real players who play for real teams, none of this West Midlands v East Midlands, or north London v east London, come on PES grow some balls and get the licenses. My biggest gripe is this one, all of the biggest clubs get their own stadia, (ok not all of them, lower leagues probably not) but one, only the biggest football club in the world, BARCELONA, they play at the camp nou or the nou camp, why oh why can’t this stadium be in FIFA, none of this license garbage, only PES have the right, FIFA don’t, what a load of rubbish.

    So far so good, hopefully its stays that way, unlike last year. Passing feels a lot more precise than, through balls and over the top through balls can be said the same for. Defending takes a bit to get used to, but apart from that, the game feels good so far. Early days though.

    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]
