Small improvements across the board from EA Sports has made FIFA 18 one of the best all-round sports gaming titles in quite some time.
PROS
Improvements across the board; More realistic gameplay; Intriguing Journey mode
CONS
Shooting and penalties still amiss; A few leagues missing
VERDICT
For the past couple of years, the FIFA vs. PES debate has always been split between gameplay and licensing. PES took the crown for the former and FIFA the latter. With FIFA 18, the on-field action has been vastly improved, and now PES 2018 and FIFA 18 feel on-par when it comes to gameplay. Add to that EA Sports' strong position when it comes to club and player licensing, and FIFA 18 should have critics impressed with its on the pitch play as well.
