Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
You'll love it. FIFA is great, though they are moving super slow with new features last years.

How beginner friendly is this game?
Very. You can use 2-button controls for a while until you get used to it.
The Journey is a huge addition to the franchise.

But not to the gameplay itself, which is what I assumed he meant.
A lot. On Easy and with assistants on, you can easily won first match by many goals. The real juice is playing on hardest without any assist.

glad to hear this, I hated NBA2k games for being the worst for new players

It's very beginner friendly, but I would recommend learning how to play all-manual parallel to learning the game on the lower difficulties with assisted controls.
Excellent. Will you be providing impressions?
As daft as it sounds, the thing about all the PL stadiums being in the game is quite a big deal for me so I'd love to know that they're all in this version (if you don't mind reporting on that!)

I remember when Fifa made its debut on Vita. Was mind blowing at the time to have the full experience on the go, then EA fucked us with "legacy" games from that point on.

I have EA access so I can play the Journey of Fifa17 and then play quick games and manager mode on the Switch. Best of both worlds

I loved Fifa 13 for vita. Played it more than any other Fifa. Part of the reason I'm so excited about switch Fifa
I 'member. So annoying. Didn't even implement the new tackling system which was SHIT. Meant I had the new version which played completely different to the vita and so made it redundant

After watching a couple a streams, I think I will have to pick this game up.

In what way though? I'm not going to bash other liking a game mode because I don't like it, but why is it a huge addition? It's pretty poor and cliched storytelling, and light on gameplay or interesting mechanics.
Don't you forget to give us impressions!
Jesus - would be a insta buy if they did that!

Yes the shots actually have pop in the final version instead of floating into the upper 90
Someone over on Reddit streamed the Switch version: https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFAswitch/comments/72o89s/i_have_the_game_streaming_some_gameplay/
From the comments:
Not matching the FUT suite of the other versions is kinda shit.

In the European eshop is listed with all the languages available.
Yeah, it's the career mode.

Europe. Can buy physical for 55€ and am inclined to do so because I can always cash it out next year.
Is US price 60USD = about 50 eur? Not too shabby I guess, but I'll have to think about it.

The Journey is pretty much garbage in 17. No idea who can enjoy watching fucking cutscenes in a football game.
Ill end up buying this like I always do.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Curious to hear impressions of the Switch version. I might actually buy that. FIFA on the go sounds really, really good
Try at least to understand other people's opinions. You're not alone in the world. You can also give details about your opinion (other it's pointless and you're wasting other people's time).
The issue is that the cutscenes have a pretty low standard of writing and directing. The target audience is also an issue. But the idea itself is great, it just needs better gameplay (first) and a change in direction.

If I'd said ”the journey is great" you wouldn't feel any need to reply telling me to give details why I think it's great. Get out of here.
It's garbage because watching fake computer people talk is boring and the training is repetitive and not fun. Nothing about the idea is good. But I'm sure you'll say ”some people like it!", as if I should care.

I don't like it either but saying "watching fake computer people talk is boring" is over simplifying why it's bad. Do you just not like any games where fake computer people talk?

They addressed this in that one interview with the studio head. They feel that putting the whole FUT right from the get go could have a negative effect on players who haven't ever used it. Other console FIFAs had FUT since like 7 years ago, and it progressed over time.
I know that I was hopelessly lost on 15 on PC, and stopped FUT really soon. So, I kind of agree.
He said that they already have plans what to put in the next FIFA(s), but they need to see if the game sells. They want to continue making it.
The guy was really enthusiastic.
It is EA Bucharest doing the Switch version, I think. It is always nice to have European devs making a football game.
EDIT. Not defending the decision, per se. But I understand their viewpoint. Also, it most likely allowed them to tune the base gameplay more. After all, they made the game from scratch.

Not really.
You don't need complex analysis to explain why watching a bunch of idiots talk about how important and serious football is when you're supposed to be playing a game for fun is bad. It's everything bad about video games combined with everything bad about football.
