Gamer's Wish For 5 Changes On The Upcoming FIFA 18
It's fashionable to knock FIFA – as has been the case since the 8-Bit era – and asking fans what they'd change ahead of next year's game often elicits end-of-the-world responses. The truth of the matter is that FIFA 17 did virtual football very well indeed, but constructive criticism is nonetheless justified.
That's where GR+ comes in. I've scouted official forums, fan websites and social media to piece together this hit list of the best fan suggestions and recommendations. And thankfully, the sentence 'add Robbie Savage to the commentary booth' hasn't materialised, even once. There are some things even the trolliest of trolls don't dare suggest, just in case they come true…
Separate settings for online and offline matches
With the rise of competitors, many elite players rely on table tennis passing and the Olympic Games to speed up. This means that you have to make concessions through the game engine to make it fit for everyone, and the effect of a chain is that many offline events become stiff and one-dimensional. JoshC1977 of the sport movement presents a neat means of solving this problem.
"[EA should implement] separate settings and sliders between online and offline," he writes. "Don't mix the two. Tweaks made to make online more arcade-like should have no bearing on offline manager modes. Make the online gameplay settings server-based, and offline driven from the original game and patch updates. The wants/desires of the two camps are totally incompatible. This is the biggest issue facing all sports games, not just EA ones. An offline user shouldn't have a 'sim' experience modified because people online choose to play a vastly different [style of] game."
Specific kits and badges for each Ultimate Team squad
Love this idea, from TVchot on the official FIFA forums. At present, you can only have one badge, one home strip and one away strip assigned to all your FUT squads – and chopping and changing between Seasons or tournaments can be a faff. Here's his simple solution: "Would be good to have a separate kit and stadium per squad. For example, if I have an Italian squad, I would like to default an Italian kit and stadium. If I have a separate Brazilian squad, would like a separate Brazilian kit and stadium linked to this alternate squad, without having to change each time."
Co-op friendlies
Via Operation Sports, forumite Stevosl points out a bizarre design quirk which one would think could be easily rectified. "It's ridiculous that co-op friendlies are not an option in the game, when you can already do co-op Seasons," he writes. "There is no way to have a co-op FIFA league because of this. Imagine how much fun a co-op FIFA league would be. Co-op seasons is probably one of the most underrated online modes in FIFA – it's great – but they shouldn't just limit it to Seasons."
"You should be able to play 2 v 2 network with 4 friends, play anytime, anywhere, i have 8 friends, i play with the club, but we also want to play interactive 2 v 2, working in FIFA season The trouble, in addition, it will only let you play the same team twice to prevent the abuse of records.
Indoor mode
The indoor model has become the annual requirement of GamesRadar + - but after following FIFA 98, twenty years later, there are also a lot Internet's long-standing return. "How wonderful is the show and the indoor game?" Request EA Forum poster kleiner540, rhetoric. "Done right, the indoor shoes from the list of choice, loud heavy atmosphere, perhaps in the back of the game to play the soundtrack - think about FIFA Street.
"I will be in the next few years to kill the MASL-style indoor experience," sports sports "back to the brush." Indoor games are so unique, it will provide more time, not just try to collect the card. "MASL stands for the main arena soccer league and has 17 teams in the US There is no doubt that if EA is willing, EA can afford the license to do so after the FIFA 16 to join the women's international tournament to further expand the game Match type.
Stadium packs
Having the ultimate team as one of the most profitable micro-trading services in all games, it is very dangerous to recommend that FIFA need more DLC payments. However, as a paste of the authenticity of the sport game, I can not resist an idea of EA Sports Forum poster FIFA 17, which will give players the option to provide more details in the game, at least in theory, allowing developers to deliver extra time.
"[I'd love] stadium packs," he writes. "EA could create authentic stadiums throughout the year and give players chances to buy them in the store as league specific expansion packs: e.g. Championship, Ligue 1, Calcio A." A heated Devon derby between Exeter and Plymouth at a noisy virtual Home Park? Sounds brill. I've set aside 79p for the PSN piggy bank, and pre-ordered a gargantuan October pasty delivery, just in case.
