As well as announcing new FIFA 18 features, EA has also released a new 20-minute gameplay trailer showcasing Real Madrid players playing as FIFA 18 Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. Check it out below to learn more about what you can expect from the latest FIFA game.
FIFA 18 will be officially launching next month on September 29th and includes both single-player and multiplayer modes. It will be available to play on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Enhanced Gameplay and Graphics
FIFA 18 is the second installment in the series to use the Frostbite 3 game engine, which significantly enhances the game’s graphics and realism. The Frostbite engine allows for more detailed player animations, realistic stadium environments, and improved lighting effects. This means that players can expect a more immersive and visually stunning experience compared to previous versions.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will include a continuation of the story-based mode that was originally introduced in FIFA 17, entitled “The Journey: Hunter Returns”. This mode follows the career of Alex Hunter, a young footballer navigating the ups and downs of professional football. The story mode adds a narrative depth to the game, making it more than just a series of matches.
FIFA 18 Ultimate Team Icons
FIFA 18 Ultimate Team Icons, the new version of what has previously been called Legends, is playable on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions of the game. This feature allows players to build their dream team by including some of the greatest football legends of all time. Icons like Pelé, Diego Maradona, and Thierry Henry are available, each with their unique stats and abilities, adding a nostalgic yet competitive edge to the game.
The Nintendo Switch version of FIFA 18 will run on an internally developed game engine, as opposed to the Frostbite engine. While this means that the Switch version may not have the same graphical fidelity as the PS4 and Xbox One versions, it is optimized to take full advantage of the Switch’s hardware capabilities. This ensures that players can enjoy a smooth and engaging experience whether they are playing at home or on the go.
Additional Features and Improvements
FIFA 18 also introduces several new gameplay mechanics and improvements. One of the most notable is the Real Player Motion Technology, which uses advanced motion capture techniques to create more fluid and responsive player movements. This technology ensures that every dribble, pass, and shot feels more realistic and satisfying.
Another significant addition is the new team styles feature, which allows players to implement real-world tactics and strategies into their gameplay. Whether you prefer the high-pressing style of teams like Liverpool or the counter-attacking approach of Real Madrid, FIFA 18 lets you tailor your team’s playstyle to match your preferences.
The game also includes an expanded Career Mode, offering more depth and control over your team’s management. Players can now engage in interactive transfer negotiations, scout for new talent, and make strategic decisions that impact their team’s success over multiple seasons.
