I have been playing the FIFA series for many years, so I had an idea of how the game works and what to expect. Here are some of the pros and cons I have about the game.
Pros:
-The graphics keep getting better year after year, as expected. The players, camera angles, crowd, replays, etc. are much more crisp than previous years.
-I love the added gameplay modes, especially VOLTA, which is similar to FIFA street if you are familiar with that. If you are a longtime football (soccer) player, it will bring back memories of your childhood playing football in the streets with your friends, and now you can do that virtually with this game.
-I like that there are constant updates the the game. It seems like the company listens to the complaints of the users and they work to correct in-game errors. They also update any changes to players/teams throughout the season, so the game stays as true as how the game is in the real world.
-My favorite game mode is FIFA Ultimate Team. You can build your perfect team from scratch, and compete against your friends or other online opponents. There are a lot of "promos" that EA releases throughout the year to keep the game fresh and exciting for users. Earn points to be able to play in Weekend League, an intense game mode inside FUT where you challenge elite players and earn awesome rewards.
Cons:
-This game is not perfect. There are many glitches, especially if playing online modes. However, as I mentioned before, they do a good job on listening to complaints and try to fix some glitches and are constantly updating the game.
-The servers are hit and miss, if you like to play online. There were many instances this year where the servers would not work and you were unable to play online. There are also periods of lag that happen when playing online, which is also frustrating.
-One thing that I disagree with is the idea that you can buy FIFA points in order to spend that on packs in FUT. I understand that this is a good way for the company to make money, but you have a lot of kids out here spending money on the game and press their luck to see if they can pack a good player. I have never bought FIFA points because I think it is completely unnecessary. You can still build an excellent team from scratch without having to spend additional money on FIFA points, probably not at the same rate as the people that spend hundreds on this game, but it is still possible.
I can probably ramble on longer, but these are the main points that I have to mention for this game. It is a fun game to play, especially if you play online or with friends. There are many flaws and glitches with the game, and the majority of the users will complain a lot about the game, but we still play and buy the game. It is what makes this game fun and addicting. I would definitely recommend buying this if you love football or if you want to learn more about the game. Thanks to FIFA, I have been able to learn more about teams and players, especially those that are unpopular or don't get a lot of media coverage. Overall great game.
