FIFA 18 Reviews
Stretch out, lace up, and get ready! EA's rendition of "the beautiful game" is here again with smoother gameplay, improved intangibles, and well layered modes.
The beautiful game is more beautiful than ever in FIFA 18. Soccer fans will find very little to be disappointed with here.
This new title offers us the FIFA experience we know but also brings new features such as its renewed FIFA Ultimate Team mode, which has achieved the perfect balance to fit any type of player. Alex Hunter's new campaign, online modes and single-player modes make FIFA 18 one of the best games in recent years.

A revamped manager career mode and the second chapter of The Journey are both wonderful experiences, and while some aspects of gameplay have been addressed such as crossing and more tactical runs, there are still some glaring problems that weren't addressed. The game is still enjoyable, but this franchise can't rest on its laurels anymore.
FIFA 18 is the most solid entry in the series in several years. The presentation has never been better and the game has never been more realistic. EA have made subtle improvements to the Frostbite based gameplay that was introduced in FIFA 17, but If you weren't a huge fan of the gameplay last year, then chances are you're going to still be quite unhappy with what is on offer here. There's major changes to The Journey for those that enjoy the single player portion of the game. FIFA Ultimate Team and Career Mode have also seen several changes that will be sure to impress the most hardcore of FIFA fans too.
FIFA 18 delivers a soccer experience perfect for both newcomers and returning veterans.
Despite promising "the greatest leap in gameplay in FIFA's history", FIFA 18 is a product quite similar to FIFA 17 in which there are small improvements, but not major revolutions.

FIFA 18 has come out fighting this year, with an improved game of football, another chapter in its excellent story mode, and more besides. It's still not quite there yet, failing to deliver something as fluid and immediate as it could be. There's ample room for improvement, sure, but FIFA 18 is still a genuinely marvellous footie game.
FIFA 18 plays an attractive and attacking brand of football that champions the pageantry of the game. But the Frostbite engine is the true star, offering up a staggering vision of "The Beautiful Game".
Definitely solid in terms of presentation and game modes, even though The Journey is still far from perfect, FIFA 18 sadly feels like a FIFA 17.5 with a lot of emphasis on attack - which can please a lot of players but not those who are looking for something fresh and some football games with a realistic pace.

The action on the field is a bit more nuanced; the presentation has been spruced up; and there's a new chapter of the Journey to digest. But at its heart, FIFA 18 is much the same as its always been: the sort of fast and frantic soccer game you play on the couch with your friends. And that makes it plenty fun.
Superb presentation and small gameplay tweaks make FIFA 18 an improvement over last year--albeit a slight one.
FIFA 18 is probably the best football simulator right now. Although it is a little bit continuist and still has some issues with the goalkeepers, this game is more polished than ever, it has amazing graphics and a soundtrack that fits perfectly the game. FIFA 18 has also the official licenses of most of the great football leagues, which is wonderful.

It is the atmosphere that hits you first in FIFA 18.
All in all, FIFA 18 doesn't feel like as drastic an improvement as its predecessor did over FIFA 16. Its improvements to offensive play certainly allow for some spectacular goals to be scored and help the fluidity of play.
FIFA 18's focus on the art of defending and the long-awaited addition of authentic player styles makes the play experience a joy to take part in.
FIFA 18 doesn't show a lot of changes to the core gameplay of the series, but it brings a lot of improvements in its various game modes, as well as a better atmosphere to the stadiums and a new chapter in Alex Hunter's journey that has managed to learn from its past mistakes.

Seeing where Hunter's story goes is a compelling part of a game that otherwise feels very familiar.
FIFA 18 is a very good football game, probably the best coming out this year.: with a new gameplay, more slow paced and giving more space to players with great technique. The IA is eventually more Human, but the keepers are worse than the previous year. FUT is great as usual, and The Journey two brings the new mode of FIFA to a whole new level.

When all is said and done, FIFA 18 is a game I can get behind. A lot of the small annoyances have been fixed from last year, especially regarding player movements, and there's nothing like diving full force into The Journey with Alex Hunter. There's also the gorgeous graphics; it's truly a work of art when you stop and take it all in. The lack of FUT improvements knock it down a peg, but all in all the title is worth sinking your cash and time into. If anything, you'll love the way Rolando's perfect sculpted hair deflects the wind in one of the most beautiful stadiums ever constructed as those rowdy Real Madrid fans engage in a bit of tomfoolery. Just remember to take it all it and enjoy the ride.
