A first gameplay video of FIFA 18 shows a complete match featuring the stars of Real Madrid.
In early August, EA Sports lifted the curtain and revealed the main innovations in the “Ultimate Team” mode of FIFA 18. They held a dedicated livestream, where they not only presented the FUT changes but also gave a first look at “FIFA 18” gameplay.
In the meantime, recordings of this match can be found online:
How does FIFA 18 play?
The Real Madrid stars Isco and Marco Asensio played alongside the YouTubers Castro1021 and Spencer FC in a 2v2 match. Both teams played with Real Madrid. The cover star of FIFA 18, Cristiano Ronaldo, was virtually present. You can see the UI design for the Spanish La Liga.
However, the video quality is not exceptional, which has led some users in the comments to joke that the gameplay video looks like “FIFA 17.5” or even like FIFA 15. Therefore, you should not judge the graphics of FIFA 18 based on this video.
However, you can get a good impression of the gameplay and some innovations like the player archetypes. With the archetypes, the footballers move at different speeds based on their height and body shape, taking shorter or longer strides when sprinting and being quick or sluggish in ball handling.
There is plenty of entertainment in this video, by the way. There is an early red card and a total of 6 goals are scored.
At the end of the video, a trailer for the ICONS stories in FUT 18 is shown. All information about these icons in FUT 18, the “new legends,” can be found here.
You can find out how FIFA 18 will ultimately play for yourself at least by the demo in September. We have compiled all the previous information about the FIFA 18 demo at the provided link.
