Skill moves are more effective. Most of these things could be fixed/implemented improved with a patch, which is essentially what fifa 18 is.

No. They need to leave aerial through balls alone.

They're supposed to hang not fly through the air like a rocket.

FIFA has rarely ever had positional battles for balls in the air. Finally they do. It's been a long time coming.

Positioning combined with directing your headers actually feels realistic now.

After playing for less than five minutes, this game bears little resemblance to FIFA 17 in terms of all the things I hated about that awful game.

I see you.

Looking forward to you helping us reach our goal in the slider forum

Wow,wow wow.
This game seems like its the real deal so far.
Don't know where to begin really.

Lets start with the feel of the game. Its Intense on the field, makes me feel i'm on the pitch having to make real decisions, so little time on the ball before your met with pressure , which leads to the passing , the passing can be off when you don't have time to think about your pass they have absolutely nailed that feeling down. With time you can spread it around like a pro. You almost have too .
How long have we been asking for the ai to make us have to go side ways and backwards or switch the play. If you want to maintain possession your going to have to.

The players feel good but its an adjustment, the momentum is unbelievable.
If you want to stay with a forward as a defensemen you better be on your toes and taking angles and not sprinting too much.
Players look amazing on the pitch , check out Sterling for City i swear its him out there.

Crowd within the leagues sounds awesome , cant wait to hear some Bundesliga.

Lots of fouls don't see much problem here.
Teams do seem to play different and will change it up against you .
Hard to really see with such short half's.
Lots of action, hopefully its amped up a bit for the short half's or that could be a problem with longer matches.
No way they can maintain that intensity up for that long is there?

At first i thought the Accel was a bit much but the more i play and adjust my defensive style i'm getting better at staying with them . If they nerf this too much i feel you will lose that individuality of the top players.
Maybe slow speed .

I'm gushing i know but i don't see a whole lot i don't like .
Maybe the variance of the shooting is something, but hey ill take what ever floors at this point if it feels like this on Full release.

Athletico arn't this good are they? Really?

I'm off to play more.
See you mugs later.

Last year through balls through the air I thought were abysmal. I hated how they were nearly every time too short, and easily defended. I wanted more through balls I put through the air to be in front of the player I am playing the ball to in to space. So far in this demo, it seems a lot different, and better.

I need to mess with the new crossing controls to see how those work.

As someone who skipped FIFA 17 and switched to PES, I was immediately impressed with the graphics, gameplay, and "feel" in the FIFA 18 demo.

I'm confident that I can get through a couple seasons of career mode before it starts to feel repetitive. Which is exactly what I had hoped to see!

I have to say the visual improvement compared to last year is quite impressive. However, the filters they are using to make different regions feel unique are awful.

I got hands on demo last night and it's mixed feelings. I really like how players felt in control, i mean kind of fluid movement, shooting system better then PES for sure (except penaltys, which are ridicilous imo) atmosphfere like allways very very realistic and you just get into it, presentation can't say bad words, but 1 thing. Does in real life home team goes to shake hand opponents ? I don't think so. It's opposit and in FIFA this **** is multiply years, is it so hard to fix this ****.

But what i really didn't liked is game pace. What a joke. I hope in full game u can adjust that, couz right now it's some kind of ping pong.
