FIFA 18 launched on Switch last week, and plenty of eyes will be on the performance of the 'custom' version on Nintendo's portable powerhouse. We liked it in our review, with yer man Scullion awarding it 8/10.
However it appears that the game has a rather quirky glitch on some occasions, as you will see in the video above (via Snorth93) and shared around on social media. It causes players to have no face, which is mildly disturbing to say the least; poor old Huddersfield Town, they deserve better than this.
Hopefully this'll get patched soon and won't fully detract from what is a solid debut for the series on Switch. Let us know if you have experienced this unnerving bug with a comment below.

Actually is awesome too see a checkers player !!! Hats off for FIFA :3
Wayne Rooney was never so handsome before
Hey at least it's not Assassins Creed Unity faces!
Now the teams can really… face off. I'll see myself out
Not the first time something like this happened either.
Yeah iv had the same issues a couple of times against certain teams such as brighton and huddersfield, it doesnt actually change anything in terms of how the game plays so it isnt a big issue, but hopefully it gets patched soon so it doesnt turn people off getting it as it really is a solid Fifa release on the switch
That's one of the Switch's exclusives and not a glitch: Morph Suit mode. Real players will start doing that soon, it's one of these weird fashion things like wearing shoes of different colors a few years back. And EA already's got that even before it's happened. And only in the Switch version, too! Aren't we the lucky bunch...
Mwahahahaha.....!!! :smile_imp:
BEHOLD !!
Dark Evil Lord from Miitopia has STOLEN their faces.
@RupeeClock Poor guy, let him go to the toilet.
Am I the only one thinking about Tobias Fünke ?
@Tibob they've just blue themselves.
I've had this issue, as far as I remember it was just a Single Crystal Palace player that it happened to,
I've read online that it only happens when you download the latest squad updates.
Hopefully it will be patched soon
Checkerboard Man, the new soccer superhero.
"Switch needs FIFA! Switch needs FIFA!"
... PFFFT!
Oh yeah, that's JUST what Switch needs: A game that doesn't even work!
Apparently the next update includes Pepsi Man as a playable character 😂
That's an entertaining glitch! They should keep it.
I had a similar glitch on Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast where during a cut-scene before the final boss, Big the Cat was pink. It looked like it loaded Amy Rose's textures, which made him look hilarious. Big still had the incorrect texture on the cut-scene after beating the final boss. I wish I took a picture.
I want to play in "no face mode"!!!
Cool!!
@ThatNyteDaez The game works just fine, a minor graphics glitch that only occurs under obscure circumstances isn't a deal breaker. Otherwise, Breath of the Wild would be in the same boat for having the ability to break the cell shaders.
That's a pretty upsetting combination of colors for the checker-map, but at least it will make it obvious when something is missing its texture.
@link3710 I played around 200 hours of Zelda BotW without any glitches, and encountered a checkered head in FIFA in a couple of hour of gameplay. No, they aren't on the same boat.
Blue Man Group edition.
Lol, that's pretty cool.
Glad to see EA gave the Switch version some exclusive content.
Oh, it's ok. Their faces are just tired.
It's an EA thing.
lol, truly this puts the beautiful back in the Beautiful Game.
Seems like an episode of Rick and Morty in a FIFA game.
The announcers, they see nothing!
EA' s masking technique finally revealed and shows how Fifa 16 quickly and with little effort became Fifa 18.
