What does the standard cover look like? Is it CR7?

 

[airjoca]

TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

In for CR7.

It's "Sim", "Yes" in portuguese.

So,

"SIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!

 

[hanspampel]

Is this your new thing? Are you Statham's little brother or something?



Come on son, don't get your account banned dropping this nonsense in every thread.

there is not a single topic here on gaf with a multiplatform game reveal and no "will play on my ps4 or anything" comment

people here love to express what platform they play on

His post history kinda speaks for itself, he doesn't need you to stand up for him.
Honestly, I doubt he'll last the week.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

My 2 favorites. I don't usually get FIFA as I'm more of a Madden guy but I may have to scoop this up.

This crap has been really bad on here lately.

Same ol shit every FIFA.

May buy it when its half the price not paying full price for every single installment every year

Fifa is nothing but an UT game now. Gameplay will still be scripted and the servers will always lose connection, They'll just slow the gameplay down to fifa 16 style and people will think it's more realistic than 17 was.

Rinse & repeat.

Good job there's an alternative football game then.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Ultimate Real Edition.

fifa has never been realistic but this is just taking it too far

If it was the other Ronaldo on the other hand... His runs were insane.

[MrS]

'Why aren't they called Legends anymore?' you ask

Because Legend FUT cards are synonymous with Xbox and Sony won't like that link. Pretty simple.

Given how well the FIFA 17 bundle did for the XB1 last year in the UK, a £199 PS4 FIFA 18 bundle would clean up in Sept/ Oct I imagine.

£199 is way too low. £249 is more realistic.

 

[idonteven]

lol that guys post history ! must be one of the dudes that has that scorpion thing on twitter

 

[jts]

It was never a thing to begin with.

Maybe XB1 wasn't, but the 360 definitely had a respectable business in Europe.

 

[LNBL]

It was never a thing to begin with.

With fifa it was

Anyhow, smart of them to rebrand the Legends into Icons (if they will not have both). Though in the 4 years of them being available, I've owned exactly 0 of them -_-

Chuboi reckons its because MS had the rights to the name "Legends" hence the rebranding.

 

[Broken Hope]

Yes, and that's why they've now got the deal. With Scorpio launching, Sony needed a significant 'Native 4K' title to lead their Christmas push.

It's cute you think Scorpio is even going to make a dent, hardware power doesn't mean much if you have barely any first, second or third party exclusives.

lmao

 

[Soldiussnaku]

Uh...I'd hold off until tomorrow to say that.

Because if that Pokemon Direct announces Pokemon for Switch......

Sure in certain regions, and if stars does get released this year for switch and switch only, then NA will likely go to ninty. 3ds game will sell millions but won't move the needle switch hw wise.

However eu and U.K. Are football and racing mad. If gt sport does come out this year, combined with FIFA 18, Sony has already made a very very nice counter in the region. I even left out all of the other massive, stellar games Sony has the marketing rights for. They have a stacked,STACKED holiday season in response to the competition.

Not to mention the ME market as well, those guys love their football, and Sony is pretty much the dominant force there.

 

[Clarkus Darkus]

We would happily switch to PES if they had a pro clubs mode, It's the only mode we play on Fifa/NHL

 

[Gurish]

So Sony took EVERYTHING ?

Sony
-COD
-Destiny
-Star Wars
-Fifa


Microsoft
-Shadow of Mordor

lol

Damn, if it was the PS2 era than most of those would be exclusives as well

That's what happens when you sale more than double than the competition.

 

[RdN]

So, Legends is now called Icons and not excluisve to any platform?

If so, that's great news.

 

[Elandyll]

...
£199 is way too low. £249 is more realistic.

?

Amazon selling XB1 w/ Fifa for £194 right now, and PS4 + game is £229... Outside of the Holidays, and before a likely price cut.

Does it matter that much when it's not a PS exclusive?

In Europe, yes, and massively, due to bundles.

 

[Gamezone]

Playstation has the marketing deal, this is huge!

Does it matter that much when it's not a PS exclusive?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

It's cute you think Scorpio is even going to make a dent, hardware power doesn't mean much if you have barely any first, second or third party exclusives.

It's cute that some people can't see the trees for the forest. There's winning and then there's gooing in for the kill.

Well Nintendo Switch isn't getting "FIFA 18", so

UH OH

Companion app is used for managing your FUT stuff for those who don't know.

Companion app related to Ultimate Team which would indicate no Ultimate Team on switch.

 

[Rodin]

I see. Well like i said in the other thread no story mode makes sense, but no FUT would be a disaster.

 

[Davide]

As someone who only has FIFA 14 is it worth getting 17 for $21.39 for now?

 

[BigEmil]

Is this your new thing? Are you Statham's little brother or something?



Come on son, don't get your account banned dropping this nonsense in every thread.

He been called out on this stuff with Switch alot now he switched to Scorpio, he really hate Sony it seems lol

 

[MrS]

As someone who only has FIFA 15 is it worth getting 17 for $21.39 for now?

No. Just wait.

Found this on the EA page when looking through the page source code

You got a link to where this is?

 

[Collateral22]

No. Just wait.


You got a link to where this is?

http://www.easports.com/iframe/fut1...xml/localization/messages.en_GB.xml?cl=165353

just search FIFA 18. Can also see potential new players like Maradona in there.

 

[yellow submarine]

Wonder if they actually fixed AI this year. And wondering if they did anything about Pro Clubs matchmaking, and make it more like Overwatch ranked --- wait what am I even saying... I don't know why I keep buying this every year.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

This is legit a cool edition.

the GOAT!

shit, i might just fifa this time after so many years... im so gullible

aaayyyyy

Games take time to make pal. It's been 3 years now, we're going to see these games at E3 and it's going to be insane

Keep drinking that MS Kool Aid

Yeah I found it on the page, thanks for the link. Doesn't look good for Switch owners, does it?

 

[TeddyBoy]

These prices are insane.

I'll just get the regular edition for £40 at launch at Asda like normal thanks.

 

[Ardenyal]

Phil meant it when he said they aren't focused on marketing deals. Putting the money into first party development. Excited to see fruits of that and excited to play FIFA on SCORPIO

Microsofts game division is strapped for cash and has to shuffle the money around to get games done. Just waiting for the axe to drop.

 

[RocknRola]

Holy crap, Sony actually got FIFA. Well damn. Not that Europe was ever in dispute, but this will surely help against the Switch hype as well (yes, yes, the Switch + PS4/XB1 are more companion consoles than anything else).

 

[De_Legend]

Damn... day one, CR7 the goat.

 

[Hung_real]

Icon cover make me realize i miss his celebration so much

will wait for review again this year but i'm excited

 

[Portugeezer]

C Ronaldo and Ronaldo in the same team will be OP

 

[Moozo]

F18A

How do I get a Bloc Party shirt and are there any others?

 

[Pachimari]

Fuck yes! I'm all in on the Icon Edition! That Cristiano and Ronaldo Nazario edition!

This is HUGE for me as a Real Madrid fan. And legends coming to PS4 is perfect! Here's hoping we'll be able to play The Journey in Real Madrid as well.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

GOAT Ronaldo.
I don't even play fifa but I am tempted to get this one.

Don't expect to use Brazilian Ronaldo or many other of these players. They are exclusive to a mode called Ultimate Team which essentially requires you to spend at least hundreds of dollars to buy these players.

Pele has been in Fifa since 14 and yet I'd wager less than 1% of people who own Fifa have gotten to use him.

 

[metareferential]

So does this mean PS and PC get legends/icons this year?

You could spend thousands of dollars worth in packs and still not get a great player. It's just glorified scam/betting at this point.

 

[nero2082]

Don't expect to use Brazilian Ronaldo or many other of these players.

that's what FUT Draft is for

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

that's what FUT Draft is for

That's also RNG based so you'd have to spend money to enter the draft and you get to use the card for 1-4 games depending on if you can win the tournament or not and likely on a team with bad chemistry/weak links.

You could spend thousands of dollars worth in packs and still not get a great player. It's just glorified scam/betting at this point.

I have watched streamers open 10 thousand dollars worth of packs and get MAYBE 1 card of significant value.

 

[Plasma]

I wish they'd stop half arsing the legendary players and start putting in full classic teams into FIFA, I'd love to play as the Invincibles.

Do you think that they're pushing the "fueled by Ronaldo" thing because he's going to be the player in this year's story mode rather than then making somebody up like Alex Hunter?
