Yep, and i'm away from 24/9 - 2/10 at least i'll have a few days to get my 10 hours in. i hope it'll be like last year and FUT champs wont start until the weekend of 7/8 october
Yes by tomorrow for sure. Unclear what time. Last year it came out a day earlier than EA originally announced so some people are hoping it will drop tonight..
My highest rated was a GK too. Nobody else of note really. Will probably build a Liga NOS and a Argentinian / Primera Division as two starter squads to rotate and grind through with the coin boosts.
Squad Battles makes sense but I'm sure everyone will be hitting that.
Played a fair few games on seasons today and am into div 7. Initially I loved the game, but it's too easy to score and (due to the less AI involved defending - which is a good thing) really hard to defend. Bad combination resulting in stupid, bordering on pathetic games with ridiculous amount of goals being scored. 6-4, 8-5.... passing is great no more 'it does what it wants crap' however it results in ping pong...[emoji20]
Presumably there will be a launch day patch, but again EA fix a load of my gripes and ruin other bits!
I've played a few games and thank God for the trial. I know I'm not going to but this now. I literally can't see anything that is different from last year other than the squad challenges. It plays the same. It looks the same. Even the commentary is exactly the same.
One thing this year will be good for is breaking the cycle [emoji38]

Really ? I'm finding that it feels very different. I got to a decent level last year - ultimately got to and stayed in Division 1 in online seasons.
I'm struggling to translate my game to 18 - I like Pace down the wings. Crossing seems like it could be effective but more technical slower players with good passing feel like they could have a role this year too.
I'm struggling with threaded through balls against the AI - not so bad against humans as they helpfully move their player out of the way !
Any general tips from the gurus here as to what is effective - how to create chances and any particular skill moves ?
Yeah, honestly. I haven't read up on anything about fifa this year so I don't know what's supposed to be different in terms of game play but from the games I had yesterday it geeky like absolutely nothing
I agree the game looks and sounds identical (which is shocking for a ÂŁ50 game). Actually some of the day time games look worse!
However, the gameplay is NOT the same. After 15 games or so you really start to notice it.
Billy, I normally linger around div1 in seasons but can't help much I'm afraid. I'd like to keep a clean sheet! I'm scoring on average about 4 goals a game but conceding about 3!
It is different for sure... mainly the player movements and dribbling feels like it has been completely overhauled. These 2 things are making defending trickier for sure.
Are there any console bundle deals this year with a digital code? Reason I ask is that I got my Xbox one with 2016 included and last year I picked up the 2017 game from someone splitting a bundle, and I've got used to not having the disk version.
From browsing online it doesn't seem that there is a pack-in version this year?
Cheers. Sometimes I faff around for ages on a formation for use in the Season's. Wouldn't want to lose it!
I was going to hold off on this, but my game sharing buddy decided he didn't want to wait. And I'm forcing him to go halves on Battlefront in November. So I've obliged.
Read very mixed reviews so far, but I mainly only bother with Season's or the Clubs mode. So hopefully those are okay.
That's my zavvi order been delivered. Had to get the disc due to the great price. The Mrs is away to Newcastle with her sisters for a gig tomorrow night so I'm sorted now
Can anyone explain how you are now defending? I'm no mug at this game and am consistently in div1/2 in online seasons since FIFA 09.
I understand defending is now less automated but what buttons are people pressing to tackle?!? At the moment every game I play has at least 5 goals in it and it's almost impossible to stop an attack?!? It's almost like my opponents have an extra button that I don't! It's feels like an ultimate team game which is really disappointing as that's just infantile arcade crap...[emoji20]
