Some leaks from the closed beta of FIFA 18 have surfaced. Is a new “Pro Clubs” mode coming?
Update: Here are the official updates from the club mode in FIFA 18.
The closed beta of FIFA 18 is currently running. Selected players from North America and Great Britain can test the upcoming football simulation and provide feedback to EA Sports.
FIFA fans in Germany are missing out: they cannot participate in the testing phase nor watch live streams of the beta – as EA Sports prohibits all beta participants from releasing footage.
While most testers adhere to EA’s rules, some leaks from players have surfaced who seem to take these rules a little more loosely. We summarize the leaks.
New Information on FIFA 18
The English-language site fifauteam has so far confirmed these leaks that have appeared online as “true”:
- You can display more statistics on player cards in FUT 18:
- When you start FUT 18, you receive a starter pack. You can choose the nationality. More players from that country will then be included:
- When you assign player roles in FUT 18, relevant stats will be shown directly.
- At the start of FUT 18, you can choose a loan player. In the leaked footage, you can choose between Chiellini, Hummels, Godin, Boateng, and Pepe.
- When you choose the crest and the jersey, you can see in real-time how they will look:
Other confirmed leaks for FIFA 18:
- From some leagues (the Premier League, La Liga, and MLS are known from the beta), there are official graphics and presentations in the game. Here is the official “presentation package” for the Premier League released by EA Sports:
- If you press the pause button during an online match, you will only enter the pause menu once there is a game interruption (for example: the ball goes out of play).
Pro Clubs in FIFA 18 – New Features Leaks
- There is a new game mode: “Pro Clubs Championship”. No further details have been provided.
According to further unconfirmed leaks in the reddit forum, players will now be able to create, save, and quickly switch between three player setups in Pro Clubs. When you change your position, you will no longer have to extensively rebuild the entire pro. Tattoos will still not be available. However, it is said that you can already determine in the lobby before a match who will take corners, free kicks, or penalties. The penalties are reportedly going to be just like in FIFA 16. Additionally, “emotes” are coming – you will be able to clap your hands on the field by pressing the up arrow key.
Keep in mind that all these leaks have not yet been officially confirmed by EA Sports. The developers have not talked about Pro Clubs at all so far. The future will show what FIFA 18 will bring.
