This year FIFA has improved greatly and it’s managed to get rid of most of the niggling problems that has plagued the game in the past. The AI has seen a dramatic improvement and they have definitely made them have a more realistic approach. The gameplay on the whole has been improved significantly. Everything plays more realistic and fluid, and the passing and defending are some of the best I’ve ever played in a FIFA game. Fans of the Career Mode will be greatful that some new additions have been added to the mode, and I must admit that I was very impressed with the new addition of real-life transfers. There is a plethora of modes for you to play and quite frankly this game will keep you playing till the next series, especially because the Ultimate Team is as addictive as ever. I was very pleased to see the return of Alex Hunter’s story, and I think this chapter is even better than the first chapter. The presentation side of the game is absolutely awesome. Visually the players look like their real life counterparts, and the amount of details that have gone into the stadiums is fantastic. The soundtrack though was definitely the worst thing about the game, and nothing at all stood out here. At the end of the day FIFA 18 is definitely the best FIFA I’ve played in years. They have listened to the fans and tweaked a lot of things whilst catering to us all, which is great. The football feels as realistic as ever and they have managed to make you become even more immersed with what’s happening on screen. Without a shadow of a doubt FIFA is definitely still the best football game in the market and fans of the series will love the new additions, and it gets a massive thumbs up from me.… Expand

    Great game. Played 10 games and definitely the best Fifa up to date.
    Defending is difficult but if you set up tactic correctly at the end of the match you have a high chance to win.
    Presentation is great, gameplay maybe not as good as in PES but still massive improvement from the previous versions.

    I've been playing FIFA since 2013, and let me just say this is hands down the best FIFA. EA have actually listened to fans in this one.

    How it plays: This year FIFA feels much heavier/slower. Which in my opinion is a good thing. It feels like this year FIFA actually involves skill; you need to pass the ball around precise and make sure your player is balanced.

    How it plays: This year FIFA feels much heavier/slower. Which in my opinion is a good thing. It feels like this year FIFA actually involves skill; you need to pass the ball around precise and make sure your player is balanced. You can't just spam through balls and hope that one of them goes well... through!
    Defending is also much trickier, you can't just rely on the AI to recover for you if you mess up.
    The Goalies are terrible so far this year; you can just spam long shots until the goalie messes up which is pretty often.

    FUT: There are more ways to make coins than ever before in FUT; which makes it easy for anyone to get big name players this year. The ability to get coins easy this year also makes some of the impossible SBC's from last year seem possible this year. Then there's the addition of "Squad Battles," which gives players who have a hard time getting into "FUT Champs" a chance to get the same rewards playing offline.

    The Journey: The Journey was one of the biggest improvements in this years FIFA. Its story is much longer and deeper.    … Expand

    The game is entertaining and the career mode with the two possibilities of technician and player meet the story mode is good but not the great things.
    He also has good graphics and moves, he'll love every football fan

    I love football and I played every PES and Fifa game since 1995. 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 3I love football and I played every PES and Fifa game since 1995. 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.    … Expand

    In the end, FIFA 18 isn’t a tremendous, leaps-and-bounds improvement over FIFA 17, but EA Canada did fix what matters most — the on-field gameplay. While the other modes either stay the course or take a melodramatic dip downward, ultimately FIFA 18 shows that EA Sports is aware of the competition breathing down its neck, and is willing to make the necessary changes to regain the throne.

    FIFA 18 offers the best game of football that the series has seen in some time and provides the best overall package for fans of the sport. It might not be up there in terms of authenticity with PES on the pitch, but this year's release has made up some ground, excelling at providing those wow moments that gets fans of the real sport on their feet and punching the air. With an interesting return of Alex Hunter, new game modes to try, and a level of presentation and detail that can’t be found anywhere else, FIFA 18 is easy to recommend to long-running fans of the series and is a solid jumping in point for people who might have skipped a few years.

    Is FIFA 18 the best in the series? No, but there’s a whole load of things to do once you’ve embraced all the gameplay enhancements to ensure it’s still a decent game.
