FIFA 18

[Relentless]

says 29th of September release. Dunno if that's for America or Europe


Legends now called icons and on all 3 platforms

Cristiano Ronaldo on cover. Special edition comes with a loan version of him for FUT. Even more special edition comes with him and a loan Brazilian Ronaldo who's obviously now an icon

 

[HarvSFC]

They're putting "icons" into the PS4?

 

[Relentless]

They're putting "icons" into the PS4?

They're on PS4, Xbone and PC now

PS4 has marketing rights for it it seems too

Just checked and that Icon edition to get the loan Ronaldo's is 90 quid ffs lol

 

[HarvSFC]

Cool! I might return to Ultimate Team full time next season then. Always wanted to play with the past players.

 

[Relentless]

Now I'll have good season to be pissed off that Zola only has 3 star skills

Sort it out ffs EA


ALSO HOLY SHIT MY HYBRIDS WILL GET SO MUCH BETTER

 

[epic73]

Wonder if there will be any new "icons", would love to see someone like Di Stefano or Puskas.

Well there's Ronaldo as already mentioned

Supposedly Thierry Henry to be added too.

I'd be happier if I wasn't Irish.

 

[Stevencc]

Which you aren't.

 

[Oaf]

Oh, fuck this ultimate team shit. I just want to play as these icon players on exhibition with friends, I don't give a fuck about UT. But obviously they'll keep it exclusive to that because that's where the fucking money is. Because simply paying once for an EA game just isn't enough.

Hush.

There's a Legends XI which is a team full of 90+ rated 5* skillers.

 

[Oaf]

What I always want and hope to see is what they have on the NBA 2k games, really, where they have certain legendary teams from specific years. I used to love playing as Arsenal on PES during the invincible team, it'd be awesome to play as that again. Or the old Brazil team with Ronaldo/Ronaldinho/Roberto Carlos ect, or the old Galacticos Real Madrid side, or some of the old Liverpool/United teams or whatever. Baffles me that they never add that sort of thing into these games.

Licenses. For the "legends" in the game now even they have to do rights with each one

Presumably for the old teams they'd have to do the same and do specific deals with each club too

 

[Relentless]

And yeah classic XI has been in the game for years

I know it's embarassing to say that you're American at the moment with a president like this twat but it is what it is.

@FIFA: I don't play this anymore. I think the last one was FIFA 10 on PS3 (together with NHL 10 which I always liked more)

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Will probably focus solely on a PS4 UT next year. Need to whip Relentless and Harv into shape with the power of my favourite FIFA legend (Del Piero).

 

[shane]

I've never even tried Ultimate Team. I just play Seasons online and wonder why everyone else seems to be able to take their chances but me.

 

[Relentless]

4 icons announced today

Pele, Maradona, Lev Yashin and Thierry Henry


Looks like Yashin will be wearing a flat cap in game and Ronaldo will have his pubic triangle hair

 

[HarvSFC]

All I wanted was Thierry Henry.

 

[Relentless]

All I wanted was Thierry Henry.

Well they do tend to have handball calls disabled in online play

 

[Relentless]

So while the preorder bonus for fifa is Ronaldo


The PES preorder bonus is...Usain Bolt?

[PaulHaddock]

I'm just excited for Alex Hunter round 2.

Pele, Maradona, Lev Yashin and Thierry Henry

Didn't Maradona take performance enhancing drugs? Excited about Yashin, I'd like someone like Di Stefano or Puskas.

Coke's probably the opposite of performance enhancing

 

[HarvSFC]

Is Ronaldinho an icon yet? I'd like him and he used to be pally with FIFA games.

 

[G-Dragon]

I haven't even played Fifa 17 properly. Gonna skip this one!

 

[Relentless]

Nah it's only the five revealed so far

 

[saddler_andy]

There needs to be a serious overhaul of player AI, tracking and positioning of players is awful.

I only play pro clubs.
