Where the hell is online with friends! That was the absolute most important update they needed!
Also, half the goalkeepers don't wear gloves, what's that all about...
A good update.
I've not noticed any of those issues.
The only updates I want are friend matchmaking, replay saving, and permanent saves for custom formations in FUT.
I sold this because no online and moving forward until drastic changes are made I will not be supporting EA or Activision in any way.
Ive played a lot 'docked' fifa 18 with great joy but since this week ive the feeling the controls have changed. It feels very slow. Is it just me or do more people have experienced this?
@Konnan Just you
Football crazy, update mad!
Don't have this game because Mario Smash Football is way better.
(falls off chair)
Nothing to fix poor framerate when it’s snowing then....
EA please die.
Got excited when I saw "Sizeable Update", disappointed when online friend matchmaking was not among the details.
I don't recall Fifa 13 on the Wii U getting any patches so this is good. Might still pick it up at some point.
I'm still looking to get this for Switch, but cannot justify ever paying more than £25-£30 maximum (brand new, I don't do pre-owned) for a football game, as a) I'm just a casual football game player as I have no interest in the real sport whatsoever, b) no football game is worth that much of my money (the £40-£50 asking price), and c) football games become completely worthless around 10-11 months after their launch as everyone gets hyped for the next installment.
Having said all that, I still look forward to the day I find it for the right price
Last football game I bought was Fifa 13 for the Wii U for £9.00 on Amazon lol
To this day I regret coming back to FIFA even after an 8 year hiatus from the series. Last played FIFA 10, then came back with 18 and am thoroughly disappointed. Back in 2010 there was never a 'pay-to-win' system or an 'Ultimate Team' and all that BS. Till now is sitting in the back burner of my digital collection...
This will start selling once it hits the $29 mark like on black Friday. So good thing to fix it up.
Still waiting for video capture functionality.
getting this when it drops a little in price.
I'm almost at 100 hours and still enjoying it, can't say I have noticed any of the bugs
Excellent news! The game is great, but a little glitchy at times.
These are all insignificant changes.
So they still didn't add an option to play against friends online (with crossplay!).
I sold my copy weeks ago and haven't regret it for a second.
Its not just EA fault that Nintendo can't make a proper online matching platform that let you play with your friends in all games. We can't expect third parties to make up for system's shotrcomings
The guy in the top image looks like he's trying so hard to ascend to a level beyond that of a Super Saiyan.
I personally recommend setting the game on fire.
Add play vs. Friends and I buy the game - do you not want my money EA?
@Moon
going all kyu ken on it (i'm sure i misspelled that).
One of the games that needs video capture the most. I need to show the world that amazing goal I scored against Man United with Bristol City
@dimi having said that, now even 2k18 update with the playing against friend online function, not to mention the likes of doom, rocket league, etc, fifa18 could be the only third party game without playing with friend online, I don’t see a reason to defend EA anymore, they just dun care about what switch users really want. (We must blame them because even Wiiu fifa13 has the function)
My career mode game gas just reported that my team (Millwall) have just won the playoffs and gained promotion even though I have a) not been promoted yet, and b) haven't started the playoffs.
Also the difficulty jumps too far when you go from Amateur to the next one up (Pro). Which was a problem with the Wii U game also. Which leads me to believe that this is based on the Wii U game engine.
When there is an update to remove FUT coins I’ll think about it.
The fact that a title as big and as popular as this would launch with that many bugs is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with the modern games industry
Like others the main reason to play FIFA is to play with friends. Without that its of no interest. Glad i cancelled my pre-order
@TimeGuy
Exactly maybe doing what great goals can be scored in this will help sales...
Come on EA sort it out. And then multiplayer with friends.
@Baker1000 exactly, I'm sure it will generate more sales. I don't think it's a bad game actually, once I had remapped the shoot and long ball buttons ....
@dimi They are coming out with more online features in '18. They're working on security issues to keep the Idiot hackers from spoiling it for everyone.
@Milton_Burle it was supposedly built from scratch since this is an Android based system.
@Socrfan A new O/S doesn't necessarily mean a new game engine (hence when a game is "ported" to a new console or Windows etc). I have played both Switch and Wii U versions and they do seem very similar in feel so it wouldn't surprise me if there was some re-use from that code.
@Milton_Burle You may be right. I only mention this because the top dev said it was from scratch. So that's all I know.
@Socrfan I read that as well. I was just a little dubious - "from scratch" to me is a blank sheet of paper, when clearly this wasn't. Of course I could be wrong.
Fix fifa 18
@Lesgethigh For a first effort on a new system it wasn't too shabby. FIFA 19 for Switch could be a big improvement (let's hope).
@TimeGuy I know if ever a game was a perfect fit for this feature... Wake up EA. I hope they at least get this into fifa 19
@dimi # bs EA is not a small company... Others have done this EA being lazy....
@Baker1000 I am sure this Could help sales. Wake up EA
