I'm sure this is a stupid question but I haven't played a new FIFA for about six years: can you still edit players' attributes and create new players? I have a really odd, and annoying, OCD-ish thing going on with changing football game attributes to levels I agree with (I typically spend two weeks editing the database before starting new Football Manager games) and adding youth players not in the game, etc. I remember a couple of older FIFAs took this out for a while so just want to make sure it's still in now. If I finally take the dive for a Switch, I'd be buying FIFA for it.

Got my switch preorder in but would have been nice to see some reviews for the switch version by now.
Hoping for good things however.

Can you actually create your own club and have a bunch of random players in your team? I'm not sure you can.
But I suppose you could just start as Accrington Stanley and work your way up from there.
Right, you can't create a new team. Accrington Stanley sounds like a good choice though.

I wish they brought back the team creator. They had it again for a year or two a while back but it was feckin terrible.
That's like, your opinion, man.
I like watching fake people talk in cinemas, I like reading about fake people talking in books, I like watching real people talk about football on tv, and yes, I like role-playing and living out stories in video games. Before Journey I would let my fantasy do the job when making my character in the Career mode, now I can additionally live/play through the story crafted by others, and I like to have that option.
I know I'm not alone with this, and I cannot imaging how someone cannot understand the appeal of it, even if he is personally not into that stuff.
Hopefully now you get the idea about "who can enjoy watching fucking cutscenes in a football game".

That interview was a good read. Really looking forward to picking it up on the Switch on Friday. Can't believe I'm saying this but I've got your back, EA!

Where did I say that nobody else liked it?
I don't need you to explain to me that people are capable of liking garbage. I also don't need you to tell me that opinions exist. If you disagree with my opinion I really don't care. Congratulations.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Ahh
Be a bit shit if they aren't in the Switch version, can't really see a reason why they couldn't be
Damn, man, you are stubborn. You've said: "I have no idea who can enjoy watching fucking cutscenes in a football game". I just tried to give you that idea. You dismiss everything you don't like as "garbage" and that is universally very, very dumb thing to do. Tastes, do you know about them? If I like watching small kids, and you do not, does that makes all kids videos "garbage"? And people that likes to watch them are "people that are capable to liking garbage"?
I'm stopping this conversation as I do not think it can lead somewhere, all the best to you in your sad black and white world.

You liking it doesn't mean I understand how you can enjoy it. Someone who loves broccoli can sit here and tell me they love it, it doesn't mean I will understand how they can like something I think is awful.
Your argument boils down to "people like things you don't like". That's wonderful. That's why I stated that people like it and I don't understand how. I'm not looking for someone to convince me.
And yeah, enjoying "watching small kids" is very weird.
Who are they?
The better question in the context is "Who will they be?".

My brain is hyped for high-quality portable FIFA.
My wallet isn't.
My wallet isn't.
Exactly!
I used to play the PSP ones to death.
The Vita got one. I know SIE focus on mobile for their portable version now, but I don't think it's totally impossible to see FM on Switch if sales keep up.

I love the idea of having a (nearly) fully-fledged version of FIFA on the go.
But when I actually examine my needs and when I am likely to play the game under what circumstances... I don't actually envision too much of a use case for me. FIFA is a local MP kinda thing for me, getting together with friends to play the game on a big screen.

Not the same. Not even close.
You can do that on Switch..?
Sure, but If playing on a big TV is all he is doing, why not get the PS4 (which is objectively better) instead?
I'm getting the Switch version, but if it wasn't for portability I sure wouldn't.

My FIFA 18 review.
http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2017/09/27/fifa-18-review/
Settled on an 8/10 in the end after much deliberation. Found defending to be a bit of a chore to pick up but got handle of it eventually. The Journey isn't as impactful in terms of story beats this year but still does different things.
In light of the MT issue FIFA does have them but they're limited to Ultimate Team and only really allow you to buy packs. Cosmetic items are all unlockable and don't require purchase unlike a certain other title.

True, you're right.
His post suggested to me there might still be some usage case for portable though rather than none, in which case the one that does both might still be an option?
If it would be a novelty though rather than the main way to play the game, sure, I see how the PS4 version would be preferable.
Squad Battles is a great addition, but if I continue to see squads that looks like TOTY squad I think I will stop playing it.
I just played against one with C. Ronaldo, Messi and Bale in attack. The one before that was C. Ronaldo, Ronaldo and T. Henry.
Playing Professional or above it's not fun anymore. Any free kick and is an instant goal. Any corner is at least a huge chance The same with the through balls if I don't manage to block the passing player.

Why does he wear the mask!?
the two times I came up against squads like that I got beat 3-1 and 2-0
Any other time I have won, you can view the squad beforehand with triangle btw, not that it helps
I wish it didn't limit the amount of games either
Not sure whether to get the PS4 version or the Switch version.
Don't really care about The Journey or any differences in resolution, but I'd be disappointed if the AI was noticeably worse. I mostly play Career Mode, and after a while every game starts to feel the same even at the best of times.

I agree.
GK's could do with a little adjustment, but the game is amazing.
I pray that a patch doesn't fuck it all up after the kid FUT players whine that its too hard
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Yes, obviously
Let's wait until the honeymoon period is over before putting out the big sentences.
Jesus PES6, probably my most played football game ever, and I'm a guy that buys yearly since ISSPRO and that's been buying sometimes both games since FIFA07.
Nonetheless, you excite me, a lot, since you look like you know what you are talking about.
Lashley

Why is it so obviously ?
And thanks
be a bad career mode if you couldn't sell and buy players lol
one of their additions this year is negotiations in real time with cutscenes, as well as release and buy on clauses etc

Basically.
But if what EA is saying about this being a foundation year for Switch is true and not just lip service like in the past, I'll take a look at next year's version.

I'm also getting the switch version for portability.
This little console is the best.
