There’s pageantry, the menus and graphics look sublime. As far as the looks of this game are concerned, the World Cup update has brought a lot to the table. It just means more when you are choosing a country and competing with other countries for the ultimate prize in soccer. I was immediately sucked in and had the most fun I’ve had in a long time playing a sports game. Playing with them in this game is not only a video game delight but you feel the tension of the World Cup game mode while you are playing it.
The first ever international soccer match I saw on television was France against Spain. And then in 2006, I was old enough to form my own opinions and people started talking about a “World Cup.” I asked the right questions, was impressed by the answers and thought I’d watch it and see how I felt about it. Felt that way because I was told to feel that way as a kid. Truth be told, I loathed soccer for many years. I’m a unique soccer fan in that I’m American but never really identified with the United States Men’s National Team. Looks pretty neat.įirst, a quick back story. The game also gives you some history on the squads. You can change some of them out for other teams as well – such as Italy or Chile. The reason you are here, however – the meat and potatoes of the update – is the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia mode. Your Kick-Off just lets you hop right into to exhibition, there’s Local Multiplayer and Ultimate Team modes for you to use as well. The menus look great, navigating them feels easier and there’s some new stuff to do here. FIFA 18 already feels “official” because of the quality EA Sports puts into it but to have an update with the look and feel of a looming World Cup just takes it to another level. The aesthetics of the game are so darn appealing now. More importantly, my update looks just fine. Otherwise, select the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia mode and embark on your international journey. Kick-Off is nice if you just want to hop right on into the action. Well, I say that because I haven’t experienced the “crashing Switch phenomenon” that might be plaguing some of the FIFA gamers out there who also have the update. I’ve played it a metric ton as well and I’ve got some news for you – it’s all quality. And I wasn’t even expecting a World Cup update either. Kind words for a rather average game, no doubt. In a gaming sense, FIFA 18 on the Switch became my comfort food. It’s probably one of the best and most efficient gifts I’ve ever received. I played it on the airplane to and from San Francisco for the NISA event. And while all of that remains somewhat true, I’ve put countless hours into FIFA 18 since then. The engine was different, the game played slower, there were less modes and features. It wasn’t what I was used to on more powerful consoles. When I last reviewed FIFA 18 on the Switch, I walked away just a little underwhelmed at the experience. Oh my, how things have changed in six months time.
