Clownferret Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Is it officially called Fifa 18 or is it still EA Fifa? Either way it has to have Ultimate Team right. Where is the logic in omitting a mode that generates revenue.
Kav Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 You spelt Snipperclips wrong This will be my next game purchase for Switch after Zelda.
nekunando Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 You spelt Snipperclips wrong You spell EVERYTHING wrong I'm looking forward to that too, though, and can get my wife involved!

dazzybee Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 You spell EVERYTHING wrong I'm looking forward to that too, though, and can get my wife involved! My iPad does!! Is it officially called Fifa 18 or is it still EA Fifa? Either way it has to have Ultimate Team right. Where is the logic in omitting a mode that generates revenue. I couldn't give two shits about ultimate team; but yeah, doesn't it make more money than the game itself? It'll be in there. For me I just want the controls to be as complex and online to be there. Not too fussed about the journey and such. Online leaderboards for all the mini games too. What would be nice which EA have gimped the past few years, is straight up friendlies rather than the mini leagues. And also friendlies against randoms. I never play Fifa online other than mates because you can't use legacy defending while playing randoms online, which is preposterous!! This will be my next game purchase for Switch after Zelda. Whenever that is... I think they're trying for launch but we'll see, looks amazing either way!
nekunando Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Not too fussed about the journey and such. Having beat The Journey earlier this week, I wouldn't miss it either unless it's massively improved. I liked the feeling of being on trial at the very beginning but everything felt quite repetitive and inconsequential afterwards Football games have largely been about local multiplayer but those opportunities are fading as we grow older! I'm mainly hoping for games against some of you guys online and perhaps the online divisions mode that I enjoyed working my way up through on PS3 a couple of seasons ago

Getting some online games on here would be good, I love FIFA, always up for PS4 matches if you have that, I played @Clownferret but destroyed him and think he ran scared after that....

The headlines will be that the switch version is missing key features. Another Nintendo port treated as the illegitimate child. Wii U had plenty.

The headlines will be that the switch version is missing key features. Another Nintendo port treated as the illegitimate child. Wii U had plenty. While I agree, is there even any indication FIFA 18 will have a similar mode on any format this year? I'm sure they'll create something but the story will have to be different. Whatever the case, isn't FIFA 17 something like 44GB on PS4? The Switch version will presumably have to have some sacrifices in addition to the graphical downgrade to make it more manageable, especially when there's only 32GB available out of the box..

EA definitely confirmed that The Journey will return in some form in FIFA 18, don't think there was any mention if it would be about Alex Hunter though. And in terms of file size I feel like developers don't even bother with compression any more because of the prevalence of downloads and the size of hard drives in modern consoles, so I'm sure with a bit of work they could reduce the size and be able to fit it on a 32GB cartridge. Hopefully Nintendo & NVIDIA provide deep and easy to handle compression tools alongside the dev kits.

Hopefully Nintendo & NVIDIA provide deep and easy to handle compression tools alongside the dev kits. A bigger issue with compression is that it requires decompression and that comes at a cost. Something somewhere has to run slower. When a game is capable of running at say 70fps 1080p, it's not a huge problem if it takes a 8-11fps hit, people generally won't notice a difference (so long as the 11fps dips are rare and not sustained). If the game is pushing the hardware though, and only manages 60fps at 1080p, an 8-11fps dip would be noticeable. All these numbers are totally arbitrary, but just to demonstrate a point that fixing a flaw with one technique tends to shift the burden to a different piece of the hardware. Better to make a 64Gb card available really. Or perhaps Nintendo have incorporated some compression/decompression directly into the hardware already.

Most big studios make their own engines, but smaller ones tend to use this or Unity if they're not creating their own.

Shorty Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Somehow it didnt even occur to me how suitable those side catches are for clipping it into VR. This could be such an incredibly cheap entry into VR gaming. Google and Samsung have offerings like this that are £40-60.
dazzybee Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Outrageous! What mode do you play if you don't like Ultimate Team? i actually just play friendlies, but I'd rather plan seasons, online, manager, literally any other mode than Ultimate team. I hate the mode. We've been over this. I've found posts before iPads were even a thing I was an early tester for the device....

I was an early tester for the device.... Ultimate team is the reason fifa still to this day doesn't play like a real football game. It makes EA so much money that actually trying to make the game realistic is bottom of the agenda. People love ultimate team which has a detrimental effect on the development of fifa.
Clownferret Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I love ultimate team, can't see what's not to like. I've never really played Fifa in depth until 16, prior to that it was just lads nights tournaments, but I'm amazed at how much is wrong with the game. You would think with yearly updates it would not be littered with problems. Why don't people like Ultimate Team?
dazzybee Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 My Ultimate team is already in the game Personally I just love playing spurs' upcoming matches, that's kind of it. I enjoyed playing with people here in a team, be good to do that on Switch. And then just playing with my mates. It's not a game I want to invest loads of time in - all that above is already enough.
