Heimdallr Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Is anyone excited for FIFA? This is the first time that MNUFC will be in the game, so this is a day-1 purchase for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEvans Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 FIFA 17 was easily the worst in the series so far. I thought the game play was tremendously unfun and the AI defending was way too overpowered and just incredibly frustrating to play against. I will definitely be trying FIFA 18 before I buy it and unless there major changes in game play I won't be buying it for the first time in a long time.

I got lucky and got this for $20 on Black Friday... and sold it so fast; you'd forget I owned it. So disappointing. Worst part is the CPU cheating in this game almost seems like it's scripted to force you into playing online. Want to win a header in the box? Good luck. Want to get away with a quality tackle against the CPU without getting called for a foul? Good luck. Want to outrun a CPU defender even when your player has significantly more speed? GOOD LUCK. I want to know if they're ever adding that Creation Centre again. I loved making my own team on PS3. I want a Pittsburgh team in the MLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Use to be big into fifa but haven't bought one in years. I try the demos but playing against the cpu makes the experience terrible and online had a lot of cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw4bucs Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Gonna try the beta first before i buy it. Hopfully the gameplay is better this year, last years was the worst gameplay i have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a challenge but playing this game was just so frustrating and was not enjoyable at all. Hopefully 18 is good because I desperately miss pouring a lot of time into career mode.

Hunter2_1 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's just not soccer. There is no pressing or counter pressing (which is 90% of defending in soccer these days), hardly any tactics or strategy and certainly no noticeable CPU reaction to tactics. The CPU just play forward passes (most passes are lateral or backwards during a build up). It's.Not.Soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing a side in league two and they are passing the ball around the back and pinging it around like Barcelona, what the hell is up with that?

Part of what makes soccer great (for me) is the identity and tactical variations. Fifa cannot replicate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Drew-Vinated Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Can't wait to be able to try the new engine. Crowd effects and chants are all supposed to be legit making it feel more authentic. Pumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumped I'm not trying to be overly negative but has enhanced crowd atmosphere been promised like the past five years in a row? I really hope that this year's game is going to be good though, I miss FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like it was the new floor for FIFA in terms of potential with the Frostbite engine. Hoping they build on what had last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
