I posted this in another thread: "For anyone who hasn't yet bought Fifa 18 this a little prewarning, the game has a few bugs and not really worth getting at the moment until they are fixed in my opinion. So far I have encountered: - Career mode. For some reason when you sell players or sign players on a precontract, they don't actually join/leave your club. Actually trying to sign a player is really tough. When a player is sold, there wages aren't added to the wage pot. This is really frustrating when trying to play a career with a team like Doncaster. - Finesse shot bug. If like me, you remap your button layout, for some reason it causes a glitch with finesse shot. No matter how much power you apply to a shot, the bar fills up and the ball is skyed over the bar." Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soulo 839 Posted October 23, 2017 Playing NBA2K18 this year and it reminds me of how little EA think of their loyal fanbase. The series has been stagnant since Fifa 13 and has come to a point where I am willing to spend the money every other year to see at least some sort of progress to the game. What did they add this year? Cutscenes to contract negotiations? That must've been hard work fitting it all in the game in 12 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcartoscelli 100 Posted October 24, 2017 I really enjoyed the 2nd part of the journey, thought the story lines, and the chapters were great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I signed Alex Sandro on a pre contract and he came the following January, i signed Marcelo (similar style player) until i could get Alex in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sun zhi 182 Posted December 28, 2017 I've had it lying around for a while... Not got around to playing it. Two minds. Not even sure I want to. It's alright with other games, you play them for a bit till you've clocked the thing and that's that. Football manager, Pes, FIFA, they suck you in and make you spend far too much time on them. (I still had to go and buy it though, didn't I?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I still had to go and buy it though, didn't I?) I’ve been playing it but it’s getting quite boring. For a game series that doesn’t change much every year you’d have thought they’d have managed to iron out stupid bugs at very least. Just another lazy EA money making scheme.

iBlue 2 Posted January 4, 2018 I got every Fifa in the past few years, but the lack of development of the game didn't justify it to buy this one. Prefer FM right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sun zhi 182 Posted January 7, 2018 Gave it a go last night. First thing I did was switch off the racket (ie. EA track)... Started a career mode. With Chelsea of course. Put Pedro, Luiz, Batshuayi, and a couple of others up for sale. They give you about 87m to start off with. Negotiations One of thing I will say is these negotiations they've added a nice dimension to the game. Honestly quite difficult to get a deal in the bag and quite satisfying when it's done... Sitting there with Woy on the 6th occasion trying to agree a fee for Zaha... It's actually quite tense. :p If you bid too low sometimes they actually just get up and leave in a huff. L ...Especially when the deadline is a day away, and you're a winger short... Trying to sell enough players and negotiating the right price is bad enough, when I finally managed to agree a (33m) deal for Zaha, I had to then negotiate personal terms and there's only 46,000 I can offer in wages... :| And the whole thing breaks down despite my best efforts bat tinkering with the options I can offer. Still, I think I did alright... Transfers Bought in: Fekir (Lyon) 44m Belotti (Torino) 46m Vincent Aboubakar (Porto) (Batshuayi + 7m) Alex Telles (Porto) 28m Jesus Corona (Porto) 29.5m (after failing to land Zaha). Locadia (PSV) 12m (last minute... 4th striker) Recalled Zouma Even put in a cheeky bid for one Andy Carroll. :p ... also had a first offer of 18m heartily accepted by Fat Sam for superstar scouser Ross Barkley, only for the deal to break down over lack of wages I could offer during the contract negotiations. Shipped Out: Luiz 37.5m (Liverpool) Pedro 35m (Leicester) Batshuayi (p/x Porto) Kenedy 7.5m (Wolves) Moses 22.5m (West Brom) - Didn't fit in the 4-2-4 formation, so had to let go... :| Final Squad (GK) Courtois/ Cabellaro / Eduardo ---------- (DEF) Telles / Alonso Rudiger / Zouma Christensen / Cahill Azpilicueta / Zappacosta ---------- (CM) Kante / Drinkwater Bakayoko / Fabregas ---------- (WG/FWD) Hazard / Jesus Corona Fekir / Willian ---------- (ST) Morata Belotti Aboubakar Locadia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of them for squad depth... 1 fullback, 2 AMs and 3 strikers. Needed for the 2 striker formation. Arsenal just nicked Azpilicueta. He had a release clause I knew nothing about. £74m! Anyway... (Ps. The defending mechanics in this game are atrocious. Against the AI especially. The gameplay between this and PES, no contest for me. PES So much better. Just a shame everything else is lacking.)

Van Butsen 765 Posted January 9, 2018 @Sun zhi I highly doubt Azpi would ever do that in real life haha! I held off for so long but finally caved on the weekend and bought it. I agree the defending is certainly different, I feel less in control but also feel like I’m less likely to concede a lot.. kind of strange. I have noticed a couple cool things like Sunderland playing 10 behind the ball and sitting off which is pretty realistic. I never bought into the FUT stuff but I’m sort of giving it a go on this one whilst also doing my career. 1 Sun zhi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demonrjm 41 Posted May 19, 2018 If you’re on squad battles on a high level, yeah it goes the correct way constantly. Its impossible to beat the keeper from a penalty on ultimate. Legendary is 50/50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
