FIFA 18 hasn’t even been out for two weeks yet, but some gamers have obviously devoted the past 11 days to nothing but mastering the flicks, the tricks and the downright h4ckz0r things in the latest installment of EA Sports’ beloved soccer franchise.
In case you’ve been hiding under some sort of large pebble, FIFA 18 was released Friday, otherwise known as FIFA Friday. For many the launch date of EA Sports’ annual FIFA game is a personal holiday that comes before school/work, personal hygiene and familial obligations.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the game’s release.
It’s easy to make plans this weekend when you’ve got the newest FIFA to play. Plenty of you out there are more than willing to take a personal day to stay home to play FIFA on launch day. We salute you all.
The18 got an advanced copy of FIFA 18. We know, pretty awesome right? (We had already reviewed the demo, but we all know the demo isn't really the same as the real thing.) This year's game is highly anticipated and we can report that FIFA 18 gameplay could be a breakthrough.
EA Sports will release its flagship football game next week, but we got a sneak peak at some of the FIFA 18 stadiums that will be included in the new edition — including four brand new to the game — and they are absolutely breathtaking.
GameSprout, the creators of a hilarious “FIFA 17 FAIL Compilation” video, are back at it again with fails from the FIFA 18 demo. It’s still early days with the demo, but gamers around the world have collected some hilarious and at times terrifying video of when simulating soccer goes wrong.
Apparently, even eSports talents can get sent out on loan. Ajax, for decades a premier producer of precocious players, is also one of the frontrunners in the eSports world. On Thursday they signed new player Lev Vinken to their squad — and immediately sent him out on loan to league rival Sparta Rotterdam.
With the full release of FIFA 18 only nine days away (Sept. 29), we got our hands dirty with the demo, and we somehow managed to learn five things while completely disregarding a plethora of other things in our actual lives (I will call you tomorrow, Grandma). And awaaay we go.
As well as being a great football simulation, FIFA continuously promises and delivers on another now-legendary feature: its soundtrack. Painstakingly curated and providing both certified bangers and as-yet undiscovered gems, the FIFA soundtrack will annually provide you with five to six songs that will become a part of your life forever.
EA Sports has revealed the top 25 rated players in Major League Soccer for FIFA 18 and the results are pretty goofy.
I’ve never played Pro Evolution Soccer before. Every year I download the demo — one year I even got the full game — but I’ve never actually booted it up and played a match. Until this year.
