Lucas_26_7 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Does anyone else think it is really silly marketing to release the new features in the same week that FIFA 18 will come out? Start of September would be an ideal time to release the new features IMO. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA18 have got this down to a 'T' with The Journey of Alex Hunter, and now expanded it into Career Mode. Obviously less tactics related, but FIFA is now a genuine contender for where FM18 is heading. I'm definitely buying FIFA18. I came on here to buy FM18, after FM16 was my last version. I will wait for further announcements... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadsheep2001 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It makes zero difference because they are completely different games, with different directions . Anyone who thinks FM and FiFA are converging, is flat out wrong tbh. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait for further announcements... The Journey was an interesting departure for FIFA, and in their realm it was a good thing. However, it had the depth of a puddle, and you had no choice but to get railroaded down the route that the writers wanted you to go. Want to be anything other than a forward player? Nah. Think it's unrealistic that Harry Kane would go out on loan to Bournemouth to play second-fiddle to a bumbling cliche of a man? Shut it, we spent a lot of money on making Harry look so gormless. Want to have any kind of control over the direction of the story beyond whether Hunter turns out to be a bland, boring media-friendly nyaff or a complete dick? Get out. Now while it was enjoyable enough - although that's down to the online being more pay-to-win than ever - to say it comes even close to the sorts of narrative FM can have is ridiculous. The only people it would come remotely close to would be the ones that lack any sort of imagination, like bright colours and keep saying tekkers a lot. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
streety Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm waiting for some snippet of information about whats being included in FM18, Hopefully before the 25% off on steam stops..well that's the plan.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperXstyle Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I haven't played FM since '16 which was the Touch version. I didn't have time in my life to play 17, too addictive, but actually way too easy. Newgens and young's being the best of the best, TopGun. Too easy to clean sweep and win everything with a non-league team rising through the ranks. After that, you've effectively 'clocked' the game. Hope FM18 is more of a challenge. If you get the full version, it can only be played on the PC/MAC desktop, but if you want the mobile version then you have to play Touch version on both desktop and iPad for instance? Interested to see what features the full version has that the Touch doesn't in FM18. If its just useless clicks, then Touch probably will have more longevity...

bigmattb28 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 2 things I'd like to see are a camera angle from the dugout and when you create your manager say what position he used to play. The camera I think would add a great deal of realism to the game and if you say your manager was a defender then the defense training stat would increase quicker, or something like that. Nothing too fancy just 2 little cosmetic changes I'd be happy to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas78 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but do we know if FM18 will include the Video Assistant Referee (or VAR, in short; now introduced in Italian Serie A) consultation for certain match events?

CFuller Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I’ve got “1st dynamic faces”, whatever that means. After that, I’m stuck, but the rest of the letters I’ve found (lrxnfrltmuioao) into an anagram solver has thrown together some interesting potential new features: Tour of Iran - should be interesting! Formation - I think that’s been in the game for a while. Tim Farron - Brexit can be reversed in FM18? Linux Format - something for Linux users, perhaps? I’m on a roll!

To be fair, I saw someone guess that on Twitter and thought that sounded like something SI would address this year. Newgen faces were my only major gripe with FM17 (too many 16-year-olds looking like Pete Doherty and/or Alan Cork). If they were significantly improved in FM18, I might be more tempted to pre-order. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
