FIFA 18 Reviews
FIFA 18 is a solid game, with everything that made FIFA 17 an instant classic, plus a deeper story mode and a few additional bells and whistles. But it's not the huge step forward that FIFA 17 was, and it suffers from some areas lacking the polish that EA could have easily applied, considering that it did all the hard work of building a foundation for a killer soccer series last year. That said, if you've been waiting to get back into soccer sims, FIFA 18 is as good a place to start as any.
FIFA 18 is what many folks wanted FIFA 17 to be. Overall, it's the best soccer game money can buy right now.
FIFA 18 is simply magnificent. Streets ahead of what came before, and continuing its dominance over its rivals, EA has done a superb job. With huge improvements across the board, this is the game FIFA fans have waited five years for. While the offline offering may continue to lack the depth of NBA 2K18, but the continued improvements each year have culminated in a brilliant game this year.
An important step for the FIFA series: Better presentation and playful changes ensure a fresh feeling for the ball.

FIFA 18 delivers the best in-match experience the series has seen in years, while adding enhancements to virtually every facet of an already-polished package.
FIFA 18 makes some notable and important changes both on and off the pitch, but it's a formula that still often feels at odds with itself. And while EA is trying to recapture its former glory with the series, it continues to lose ground to the competition. Even if FIFA 18 is the best entry in the series for some time.
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 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 improves across the board and continues to offer an astonishing amount of options, without comprising on quality.
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.
There are some elements that stiil need polishing, but that doesn't change the fact we got the most complete and fun FIFA entry in the history of the series.

There is no revolution in the gameplay but modern FIFA never needed one. This year's edition has a slower game pace, improved player positioning and more focus on individual player stats. Thanks to all that FIFA 18 remains as entertaining as ever.

The Journey remains a truly immersive experience, the cut-scenes are well acted and put together, and the storyline is an enjoyable one.
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.

FIFA 18 may take a few steps back in the gameplay department but the well-written, multi-layered story that deals with Alex's life on and off the pitch is one worth experiencing.
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.
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.
Feels a bit like a FIFA 17.5, but the finer improvements will matter to dedicated fans.
Several changes big and small come together in a game that may not be the most revolutionary, but is probably the best FIFA we've seen in years.
It is the little things added to FIFA that always set the game apart. The stadiums, the feel of the game, even trash blowing across the pitch make you feel like you are in a real match. EA has been on a mission to make all of these elements a strong part of the game to put any fan into the match day insanity.
