All the impressions from events have been nothing but positive. Amazon and Argos selling out is good, means plenty of people are jumping on. I know it's not great having review codes out until launch, but after Doom- I'm not worrying about that stuff anymore.
Goalkeepers need improving. Every shot pretty much goes in.
I applaud EA for making defending less assisted and more "manual", it needed to be done, but what bothers me is that it feels the same thing hasn't been done with attacking and the balance isn't right.
Tis a fun game and every game largely ends up being about 6-6 online. But... something has to give, whether it's making goalkeepers better or making attacking more "manual" too.

Heard from an colleague who played an little bit last night(ps4) that the game was slower compared to last year. Game-play wise I mean.
Anyone agree/disagree with that?

This is the biggest issue. Offense is pretty overpowered right now.
I'd say it's faster, much faster.
Feels like FIFA of old to me. Arcady-like. But also fun.

I've bought every fifa since the first one on mega drive in 93. Bin playing the ea access trial and I think I'm out. Seems all to similar and ut is always laggy for me. Just gonna wait for ea access next year. Getting a switch at Christmas so might be tempted by portable fifa. X
I really think that FIFA for the long term, needs to remove assisted passing. Offense will always be OP otherwise.
True - but I cancelled my pre-order and went with PS4 instead.
I was too concerned about it - and I'm eager to play on release so I'm going with the copy that had a demo AND reviews. It's a bit worrying the lack of demo and review code.
Hopefully it comes good for the franchise to stay on Switch.
I'd love them to do that.
I wish they'd change the "assisted" controls to semi-assisted and just call it assisted.
Would require so much more skill to be good at then.
Could just be this retailer, no idea.
It's actually neither nor. It depends on the players on the field and their skills. Of course I guess online everybody plays with players like Ronaldo and Messi upfront which makes it faster. If you play SP, it really depends on the team and players.
It's a smaller German one.

The weird thing is they sent me a mail just a few days ago saiyng I'd get it on launch day and now they say there were some unforseen difficulties and that they asked the publisher what the shipping date will be. That's supposed to be the 14th.

I could save a few dollars getting physical
But I think I'm going digital. Perfect digital game to have.

I only play with 3-4 star teams online and i'd say it's faster. Mainly because strikers running at defenders feel faster, as defenders seem to take longer to turn and run now.
So it really feels like just holding run with a fast striker is way OP at the minute.
Playing around with the camera a bit. Using the Pro camera even for the non-Pro modes makes it so much easier for me to time and direct the tackles or position the defenders. But it fucks up the shooting.
I wish for a end to end camera that is always behind my team. That would be ideal I think.

Don't milk it, mate.
Switch uses the older engine so animations will be different.
Where's the source on this? I can't see how an engine would change the animations, except the quality of them.

I cba with todays dailies
Win an online seasons game with a clean sheet? fuck that stress
Because the old engine is the same as 360/ps3 and won't have the new animations, why would it?
I thought the engine was made for this version?
Meh, its probably gonna be good for what it is, a portable Fifa... Some compromises will be made

Blab, you're a FIFA player now? I remember the PS2 PES days. Always good to see a familiar face in here. I've been out of the footy game for a while (PS3 PES killed my interest for like 10 years). Looking forward to getting back in with FIFA Switch.
There are repeated interviews where the dev specifically explains how this isn't the 360/PS3 engine. It's a custom built engine. It's not PS3 with higher resolution or dumbed down Frostbite. That said, it's safe to say there are elements of both gens that are present in the Switch version.
During gameplay, which is about 98% of the time, the difference in graphics between the switch and the other versions are negotiable. I must admit, after watching that video, I'm sold.

Last year I played both FIFA and PES (I like FIFA's overall package/presentation more), but after playing PES '18 for a few weeks now...I'm struggling to play FIFA, and not because I think it's bad, but because the difference in movement and how the players control is just so different this year. Does anyone else feel the same?
I feel like in fifa my players are going through mud :/
Makes me wish FIFA came out first lol so that it wouldn't be such a drastic difference and I would already be accustomed to it
Edit: will probably only buy it for switch now and play pes on pc. Unless I can get a deal on fifa for UT

Going with FIFA this year. Despite its fast nature, I had a lot of fun with the demo (scoring on the counter with Hazard is a beautiful thing). Reminds me of FIFA 09.
I admire PES' vision but there are too many broken aspects to play it in the long run, in particular, the dreadful AI and shooting.

I thought it was a custom engine not the older one?

Try using "slow" gameplay speed setting.
Also, yeah, as others have said, keepers need work. They are more vulnerable to near post shots than ever, and anything low is once again baffling to them.

Na it def is better. This year they are able to change the animations every frame, So everything just feels tight.
This game is stupid and seriously needs a patch. Too many situations you can't defend cos the attacking is to over powered. The balance is fucked. Try and have a game online against someone decent and you won't keep a clean sheet, and neither will they.
Bet there's never been a 0-0 game online.

The engine is custom but clearly built from Ignite. That's PS4/XBO, not last gen.
Either way, animations are not dependent on an engine.
Cheapest is to change your region to US and get it for £44.

Try to learn how to play on all manual, and start on the lowest difficulty, do the training drills/skill games.

Yeah, sorry for my attitude originally, it was unnecessary.
