Better that than too many goals conceded through flaky glove work, although it won’t be a surprise if the first patch downgrades the Hulk fists. After years of accusations that net-minders are broken, there are now times where they feel too strong, emphatically repelling deliveries into the six-yard box (likely a design call implemented to prevent that new crossing system from becoming too deadly) and palming low shots away with such ferocity that throws-in near the corner flag stockpile in record numbers. Default, however, is an understatement players truly whip the ball through the area this year, causing havoc for defenders and meaning a fast-winger/strong-header combo is often devastating.Īlso upgraded are off-the-ball runs, low shots, a new halfway-house standing tackle and goalkeeper awareness. From a player-control perspective, that means a completely reworked crossing mechanic simplified to a single tap of the square button on PS4 for a default ball into the box, and a double-tap for a low cross. At £50, the exhaustive depth of this mode represents more-than-respectable value.įor the purist who considers on-pitch action paramount, Fifa does look to resolve some longstanding gripes. Fifa’s omnipresent card-trading mode is again bolstered this year with offline-only squad battles, where defeating celebrity- or community-created dream teams earns mammoth in-game rewards. I know, because I did exactly that in Fifa 17. Devotees of Ultimate Team, meanwhile, share stories of spending 200+ hours in the mode building teams and completing squad building challenges, in addition to time spent playing matches. La Liga and MLS join the Premier League in having TV-accurate presentation overlays. The majority of fans really do care that all major top flight clubs are present and correct, with authentic faces, kits and – increasingly – stadia.

On the pitch it’s very good if not quite excellent, and off, it dwarfs all contemporaries, Pro Evo included.
