Last year, FIFA 17 was the best-selling game on the PlayStation 4 with over 10 million units sold worldwide. Not only did it perform exceptionally well on the PlayStation, across all platforms, only Pokemon Sun/Moon on the 3DS sold more copies.
Without doubt, the FIFA franchise is huge and while EA Sports know that they’re likely to top the sales charts each year, I’m happy to report that with FIFA 18, they are not resting on their laurels. Thanks to subtle improvements to the gameplay, as well as new features in the ‘Career Mode’, this year’s FIFA is EA’s most complete entry in the series to date.
Gameplay
FIFA 18 grabs your attention from the very first whistle, dropping you into an intense Madrid derby, as you take control of

This attention to detail also stretches to certain players. While it would be impossible to uniquely program thousands of footballers individually, the bigger name, as well as some lesser known players, have their own unique style of play. Of course, Ronaldo and Messi play like their real life counterparts but it’s refreshing to see someone like Matt Ritchie behave in a similar fashion to real life.
Although not a bad thing, the differences between FIFA’s 17 and 18 regarding AI behaviour adapting during a match is less noticeable. Games are slow and play out similarly to FIFA 17, with an emphasis on possession being the key to unlock defences. However, one welcome change I found is how teams react to falling a goal or two behind.
One gripe I have of FIFA games is how the AI responds to conceding early on. Teams tend to go kamikaze, prematurely piling men forward leaving gaps in defence. This behaviour is common at the latter stages of a real match but not early on. With FIFA 18, teams do seem less partial to keep throwing men forward nonsensically when falling behind, now only doing so when time is running out or the possibility of a comeback is likely.
The quick substitution feature is a welcome addition. Quite simply, as a match nears its conclusion, pressing the R2 button brings up a small box where you can substitute a tiring player with a positional like-for-like replacement instead of pausing
The passion around the world when it comes to the game of soccer is immeasurable. Known as football in all other nations except Canada and the United States, it is undoubtedly the most popular sport in the world. It is a game played by millions all across the world and in many countries, such as Brazil, soccer contributes to nationalism. Every four years it brings numerous nations together. This coming together, during what is known as the World Cup, is the most viewed sporting event across the globe. Soccer is a sport that has survived many
Soccer, known as Football in other countries, is a sport that is enjoyed by about 3 billion people. That’s about 42% of the entire population! But do they all really know what’s going on? It’s a pretty simple sport that is easy to understand. An oversimplified version is just 2 teams trying to hit a ball into the opposite goal.
Within the soccer culture there is different ways one communicates with the team whether it’s with hand signals or short phrases like “open”, “run the line”, or “man on”. Everyone in the soccer culture believes in fair play and teamwork. Soccer requires unity in a team to perform well as a whole and win. There are strict rules in soccer and there is always a referee to control the game.
I have heard from some people that soccer is a boring sport, but the truth is, it’s a very interesting sport with a lot of excitement in it. When playing soccer, ball control is critical, you need possession of the ball in order to keep it away from the other team players, and at times, it can be fun because if you have possession of the ball most of the game,
The culture of soccer is more than just articles written in sport pages, or rumors about players been transferred from one club to another. It includes a bigger picture that covers many different social, political and economic aspects of the game. In countries where the sport is not that relevant, people refer to it as soccer. In others where the sport is very popular and has been around for a long time, it is referred to as football. When it comes to the sport, there are two very different ideas relevant to how people view it. In said countries where soccer is the national sport, the game is viewed as if it can achieve anything; from having just fun with your friends to helping unite people from around the world. In other countries where the sport is not as much popular, the game is seen as boring and is looked down on. This paper will explore how soccer is growing at such a rapid pace despite the fact that it can be viewed as violent and boring.
Soccer, or football to most of the world, has been one of the oldest sports in the history of the world. It is by far the most viewed, played, and biggest attendance sport throughout the countries, with the exception of the USA. Being the biggest sport in the world means having the biggest fan base as well. This sport has become as close to many fans hearts just as the bible can change people who read it. In this paper, the reader will understand how soccer has changed throughout the years, what the ideals of a unified code are in this sport, as well as the differences and similarities between youth and professional.
To this point, the soccer game’s time works more sufficient than American football, yet, makes the game intrigued. The duration of a soccer match estimates 45 minutes every two halves, even more, runs smoothly without interference. In contrast, football sets out set out a way more different length of time in each category. For example, College and professional football approximate time was 15 minutes each quarter, however, for high school the time got shorter to 12 minutes each quarter. For this reason, we can go with the result that soccer flows better than American football. Some of us do familiar with the concept of procrastination, but some people can’t take that kind of condition. They think that if the game was somehow being stopped or stop for some reason, they will lose the momentum that they have the entire game. As an illustration, I had a friend who was overly-addicted to football. He invited me to his party to celebrate the “Super Bowl” event, we enjoyed the match with no interruption from anyone until the one of the player got injured in the first minute of the game. The commercial usually pop up after injuries or after the a quarter of the match. My pal was terrible at waiting, he was so upset that he keeps on yelling and accidentally causing critical damage to the television. In the end, we cannot know who wins the match because the TV was broken. To resume, this kind of
A player can’t just run past the entire defense and score a goal. Players must work together to create space and find a hole to break through their opponent’s defense and it’s not always successful which ends up resulting in a draw. For almost any soccer game, it’s the type of team you watch. Top level teams are almost always thrilling to watch because top level teams have top level players and the skills they execute and passes they produce, make the game very exciting. I would much rather observe 2 or 3 goals in two hours than 100 persistent buckets in a basketball game. Penalty Kicks occur very often in soccer and they can be caused by a player who made the tiniest
soccer it’s the largest worldwide sport. From rules, to organization of the sport, the change over
I have been playing soccer as long as I can remember. Of course, I grew up kicking a ball around with my uncles not knowing what the I was doing. Eventually, growing up, I understood more and more; such as understanding that the ball needed to go in the goal. When reaching my middle school years, my parents registered me on a soccer team. As usual, It was close to the same running around my parents had experienced when I was younger. Of course, now I had better knowledge of the game and knew a bit more about how to play. When I reached my high school years, I noticed I wasn’t the best at the soccer. Now, I see myself improved in accuracy, "chemistry," and teamwork.
The sport that I intend to create is a mix between both soccer and football. The sport, which would be named “Soccer Slam”, would be a great new innovative way to entertain the masses while allowing the masses to be involved in the sport. This game not only has the capability of growing across the country, but because of soccer’s popularity on a global scale it would attract many fans of all types and ages. Before going into the future possibilities for the sport it is more important to understand what this new sport is.
Can Soccer become the fifth major sport? Michael Rowe Ms. Taylor Sports Lit. 8/19/14 The four sports that are considered to be “Major Sports” in America today are Football, Baseball, Hockey, and Basketball.
Soccer is my thing. Soccer is something I live, I breathe, I analyze, I bleed, I practice, and I play. The sport has been a vital part of my life ever since I started to play the game as a kindergartener. Working as a club soccer referee is also my job, and incorporating the sport I practically worship into my work is something that I will never regret because the experiences I have gained as a result have taught me various lessons over the years.
Although football games and soccer matches take sixty and ninety minutes respectively, competitive soccer requires much less time than football. Soccer lasts longer when just observing the clock, but due to the constant stopping that takes place in a football game, soccer matches conclude faster. In addition, the amount of commercials broadcasted during a football game remarkably increases due to breaks in the action. With football’s timeouts, injuries, change in possession, and the four quarters, watching a game at home could mean hundreds of commercials. On the contrary, while watching soccer, one only endures commercials at halftime and, very rarely, during an injury in which a player becomes seriously hurt. Soccer games run more fluidly
