Great Gameplay
Realistic Graphics
Iterative Improvements
EA's yearly football excursion shines in most of the same ways that it has for years. With slight tweaks and improvements, FIFA is still the best way to get out on the pitch.

Critic Reviews for FIFA 18
Ultimately, FIFA 18 introduces enough new ideas to suggest it's not sitting on the laurels of its success. However, it's a simplified experience, one that fails to embrace the complexity of football at the highest level.
Like Spurs, FIFA 18 plays a fantastic game of football. But like Spurs, FIFA 18 probably won't win any trophies.
The best footballing package available, with myriad improvements – yet still unlikely to convert fans of the opposition.
Seeing where Hunter's story goes is a compelling part of a game that otherwise feels very familiar.
FIFA 18 is still seductively deep and delivers excitement. It gave me the feeling that there is still so much to learn about what appears to be a rather straightforward sport, and that the game would gladly help me understand. This is always the time of year when I ask myself why I don't just spend all of my time playing FIFA, and FIFA 18 poses the question more forcefully than ever.
Superb presentation and small gameplay tweaks make FIFA 18 an improvement over last year--albeit a slight one.
FIFA continues to show no signs of slowing down its dominance, as this year's title further enhances the consistently enjoyable gameplay thanks to improvements to the on-field animations and varied, but realistic presentation.
