FIFA 18 refines EA Sports established formula with smoother player animations thanks to the Real Player Motion Technology system. Movements feel more natural, dribbling is tighter, and stars like Ronaldo, Messi, and Neymar carry more personality in their play style. Passing is sharper than in FIFA 17, and shooting has a slightly more responsive feel.
AI improvements are noticeable, especially in midfield build-up play, though defending still leans toward tactical positioning rather than pure controlsomething that players either appreciate for realism or find frustrating. Set pieces, revamped in FIFA 17, remain intuitive and effective.
Career Mode continues to be deep and engaging, with the new negotiation cutscene system giving transfers more personality. Being able to negotiate fees, wages, release clauses, and bonuses face-to-face makes transfers feel more dynamic.
Squad management, training young players, and navigating the season remain enjoyable, but the mode still lacks major innovations compared to earlier entries. Its stable, polished, and funbut not groundbreaking.
Alex Hunter returns in The Journey: Hunter Returns, offering a cinematic progression through the life of a rising football star. More environments, better cutscenes, and branching decisions provide a more varied experience than the first season. The mode is story-driven and linear, but very well executed.
Ultimate Team is as addictive as ever, with Squad Battles being the big new addition. This offline mode lets players compete against featured squads to earn weekly rewards and adds more variety for those not interested in online competition.
Chemistry, squad building, and weekly challenges remain strong, although FUT is still heavily centred around grinding or microtransactions.
FIFA 18 is visually impressive, with vibrant lighting, realistic stadiums, and refined player models. Broadcast overlays and commentary polish the TV-like presentation. Crowd reactions and atmospheric detailschants, motion, and celebrationsadd to immersion.
The soundtrack is upbeat and varied, matching the global feel of the sport. Commentary from Martin Tyler and Alan Smith is consistent but still occasionally repetitive, though overall polished. Stadium chants and crowd noise elevate the match atmosphere significantly.
FIFA 18 builds strongly on the previous years improvements, offering smoother gameplay, great presentation, and a deeper single-player experience through Career Mode and The Journey. While not a revolutionary entry, it delivers one of the more polished and enjoyable football experiences on PS4.
