FIFA 18 Video - New Features in Career Mode, Including Transfer Cutscenes

MLS Licensing!! YES!!

Love the menus and presentation for this year. Pre-ordered. Can't wait to get my hands on this game!

Now why can't EA do the same with NHL and Madden??

Bummer that we've lost Mestalla and no others have been added in La Liga (aside from Atléti's new stadium at least).

That has to be one of the toughest things about fleshing out a truly immersive career mode. I'm not quite sure how you incorporate cut-scenes and other RPG elements w/o it getting repetitive.

Theoretically, if I had played the career mode beta for two seasons I would be very worried about these "improvements." The cut scenes are very tedious after awhile, and at least in that build you could not delegate for your own team's renewal negotiations. And delegation was a disaster. I delegated one of my big free agent signings and ended up with a one year contract that the game would not let me renegotiate during the season, so my new starting striker had his contract expire and blocked me at the end of the season.

Oh, and most of the time the agents demand one year deals for their clients. I don't think I ever got one to agree on a 5 year deal. Usually only 2-3.

"Theoretically", you might get bored with Carreer Mode before the game even comes out.

I like it. Wish there was audio, but it'll do. I'm on Season five of '17 right now, and it'll be nice to see something other than just the plain screens. It could be a lot more than this, but taken in the context of what is has been forever, I'm putting it in the "upgrade" category. I'm just hoping the gameplay is enough to drive me to at least the same amount of games played as I have with '17. From what I've seen so far, I'm buying it ...

Sigh... Well there goes all the hope in my post for using it as a house rule or something.

This times 1 million!! I know this is so minor in the grand scheme of things, but this frustrates the hell out of me. I want to see Conte on my sideline, not 1 of the 10 generic faces that I pick who looks closest to Conte. I just don't get this from the developers.

Sadly this isn't in. I was hoping for it as well. Maybe next year.
