Should I buy FIFA 18?

 

The first question everyone should do is if they are going to buy FIFA 18 or not. If you are reading this article, it is because you probably already made that decision. In fact, only you know how important is money to you, and if it is well spent in FIFA 18 or not. The best we can do is to explain what we think about the buy.

In our opinion, if you are a FIFA fan you definitely should buy FIFA 18. Frostbite engine is even better this year and the database is up to date. You can expect a game with the usual issues, like slow servers and lots of bugs, but the fun is guaranteed. In the other hand, if you are a casual player and you are looking for a football / soccer simulation video game, FIFA 18 is still a good choice. You have to choose between FIFA and PES and it looks that the EA’s title is still much better than the Konami’s video game. If you are not a football fan, then there are many other games that can make you much happier than this one.



 
 
 
 

FIFA 18 Platforms

 

Q: For which platform FIFA 18 will be released?
A: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Q: Which platform should I buy FIFA 18 for?
A: FIFA 18 for PC and fourth-gen consoles is a much better game thanks to the Frostbite game engine. However, if you are planning to buy a PS4 or XBox One console only to play FIFA, it will probably cost you more than 200 pounds. It is not worth it. Buy FIFA for the platform you have. Keep in mind that, between PC and fourth-gen consoles, our suggestion goes to PS4 and XB1 because there are too many cheaters on PC.

Q: What are the main differences between FIFA 18 for the different consoles?
A: The biggest difference is the motor engine. Frostbite will bring the graphics and the gameplay to the next level for PC, PS4 and XB1 players. Besides that, several features such as FUT Champions and the store mode are only available for PS4, XBox One and PC. Like it happened last year, the game price is the same for all platforms.

Q: Which are the recommended specifications and minimum required specifications for PC users?
A: We will publish them soon.

Days of Early Access 3 3


 

Q: These offers are exclusive for pre-orders?
A: Yes. These editions are available for pre-order and expire on September 29 (Standard) or September 26 (Ronaldo and Icon).

Q: How much more do I pay for the Ronaldo and Icon Editions?
A: It depends on the stores. Check your local store for prices or take a look at the stores and prices chapter, please.

Q: Do I need to buy FIFA 18 Ronaldo or Icon editions in order to play Ultimate Team?
A: No. Ultimate Team mode is available in every single edition.

Q: When do these offers will be entitled?
A: First packs, loan players and kit token will be entitled immediately upon code redemption.

Q: When do Legacy and Standard edition codes have to be redeemed?
A:Codes must be redeemed by October 15, 2017 to receive all 5 packs and will no longer be valid after November 13, 2017. Late code redemption will result in forfeiture of previous weeks’ packs. Pack weekly offer is valid for 7 days and must be redeemed within that time period. Failure to log into fut to redeem the pack in any given week will result in forfeiture of that week’s pack offering.

Q: When do Ronaldo and Icon edition codes have to be redeemed?
A:Codes must be redeemed by October 15, 2017 to receive all packs/items and will no longer be valid after February 26, 2017. Late code redemption will result in forfeiture of previous weeks’ packs. Pack weekly offer is valid for 7 days and must be redeemed within that time period. Failure to log into fut to redeem the pack in any given week will result in forfeiture of that week’s pack offering.

Q: I share the console with someone. Who will get the goodies?
A: The rewards will be assigned only to the account used to buy the game. There is no way to change this.

Q: Which edition should I buy?
A: If you usually do not play Ultimate Team mode, you should choose the standard edition and save some money. Many will say to you to pick the Ronaldo or the Icon Edition, but we have a different opinion. We know that the gold packs from these two editions are cheaper than if you buy them from the store but there is something you should not forget: you only get one or two gold packs per week, over 20 weeks. This is a huge disadvantage since you need those packs as soon as possible to build your dream team. The market depreciates over the time, so when you redeem your last pack you probably no longer need it. The three days early access are really tempting and the chance of trying a TOTW player before buying him is also interesting but not worth the extra money.

If you can’t wait so long, your only chance is to update your EA Account and wait an invitation for the Beta (exclusively for Playstation 4 and XBox One).

Q: Where can I buy FIFA 18?
A: FIFA 18 is sold in thousands of stores all over the world. However, we suggest you buy it from an official retail store because they usually have better prices or special offers.

A: Sure. You just need to go to the PSN store or XBox Marketplace and buy FIFA 18. After the payment, you will be able to download it and play at midnight of the release date.

Q: Should I buy FIFA 18 directly from the console or from a retail store?
A: It depends of you. Through the console it is usually more expensive and you will have to pre-download a huge file. It may be a good choice for who lives in a place where the retail stores don’t delivery or for who wants to keep things simpler.

A: It depends on the console, but at least three days before the official release date. That way, you will have the game ready to be played when it goes out.

  1. If I were to delete my club would I still get my weekly packs that I get with icon edition?

  2. Alejandro MG

    The physical game (standard edition) includes the code for the 5 packs, Cr7 loan and 8 kits if you pre-ordered with a retailer? Or only the digital version?

  3. Hi if I buy icon edition will I be able to sell the players I recieve in the free packs ????? Or will be like last year when they cant be resold

  4. Hi,
    Hopefully this question will make sense?

    Two of my sons share their Xbox1 and both have an online account. If we purchase the ICON/RONALDO edition do you know whether they will EACH be able to open a pack each week?

    For example can we buy the Ronaldo edition and son A open a pack week 1 and son B open a pack week 2?
    Or the Icon edition and son A AND son B opens a pack week 1, week 2 etc?

    Thank you for any help/info

    1. Yes, it makes sense. It was asked so many times that we will add now to this article.
      When you bought the game, you were logged in the account of your son A or son B. It’s him who will get the rewards. It’s not possible to change this.
      Regards

  5. I bought the Super Deluxe edition for the PS4, kind of confused, is that the icon pack? Or what edition is this? I did not see this listed above in your screen shots. Thank you for all you do on the site, great stuff

      1. Not sure, says that on my ps4 where is shows the time left until I can play the game, says super deluxe edition, I assume it is the icon edition

  6. Hi. So if i buy the standard edition at friday from store, will i get those 5 packs, or do i have to preorder it

  7. Hey.im confused in the icon edition will i still be able to pick the icons evem with out the ultimate team ? Like on a quick game , and will all tje editions habe the same

  8. Hi Rodrigo,

    Great info. I just downloaded the Fifa 18 demo on PS4 and really excited to a play it. However, would like your opinion whether it is worth buying it as I already own Fifa 17 on PS4.

    1. It depends on how much time are you thinking to play it. FIFA 18 is better than FIFA 17 and it has the database updated. However, if you usually play it in single player mode (for example), I think you can save your money for FIFA 19.

  9. hi, if i buy the icon edition disk, can i play it on two different ea accounts and still get the packs for both accounts??

  10. Is there a set date as to when we can’t buy through the FIFA 17 menu? Like does that offer expire at a certain date?

  11. If you buy Fifa 18 icon edition digitally will the account you were singed into when you bought it get the packs

      1. Thanks I just have one other question if I was to use the same account on another Xbox would I still have Fifa 18 or would I need to buy it again

          1. Thanks Rodrigo so if I was to sign in on my new Xbox with the account I used to buy Fifa 18 icon edition digitally on my other Xbox will that Fifa 18 be transferred to my new Xbox or will I have to buy another one

  12. question : I can’t buy everytime Jumbo packs with 15K ( I want to keep this coins to buy players for examples or contracts) do you advice me to buy Icons edition so they will give me 40 packs for 5 months ?
    I calculate it like this : 2 packs per week = 8 per month ,, 8 X 5 months = 40 packs so I will save coins like this 15000 x 2packs = 30000 x 5 months = 600000 coins
    is it right? 🙂
    calculate it with points = 2 packs 600 points = 600 x 5 = 12000 points ,, what is cost 99.99 in origin pc ,,

    need your advice buy which editions 🙁 please

    1. This is my advice: buy the standard edition and save your money. Really. What’s the point to pay now and only receive all your cards in 5 months?! If you really want to improve your team, buy the cheapest edition and use the money to buy FIFA Points at the launch. The market is more expensive in the beginning. That’s the best time to open packs because you can sell the cards for a decent price.

      1. thank you so much ,, I will and take your advice :),,
        tell me please about fifa18 pc origin,, is they will use anticheat ? or it will be safe from cheaters and trainers who make all the players 99 rating ?

        thank you again

  13. question please,, if I pre-order fifa18 icon edtion (Ronadlo Nazario) and after I get the loan players ,, can I keep them in my club to play with them anytime I want (specific day for example next week or next month) or they will disappear if I don’t play with them ?

  14. question please,, Is it really EA will use anticheat for fifa18 in PC ? really I wish there will no more cheaters to play clean and in honest

  15. thank you soooo much for all this information, this is what I’m looking for
    GOD BLESS YOU

  16. Hi sorry silly question but..my son really wants the icon edition – can you only get it as a pre-order or will i be able to get it after on disc? Or will you only be able to get the normal edition on disc after release date? Also have I understood it right that if you don’t open the weekly packs you loose them? It’s his birthday in Nov, originally we were going to do a joint present from the family to buy it for him but if that’s the case he’ll miss alot of the extras?
    Thanks 🙂

  17. Hi,

    Is it possible to buy the Icon Edition for PS4 with 20% discount? (JOIN THE EA ACCESS AND LOYALTY DISCOUNTS) Or is that only for XBOX players.

    Grtz, Bas

  18. Felipe Medina

    Hey.

    I have a question regarding the icon edition of fifa 18.
    if i buy the icon edition in disc and don`t pre order it digitally will i get the 2 jumbo packs per 20 weeks? the ronaldo nazario and the other stuff.

    Cheers dude

  19. Hi there, i have a question.
    They say 3 days early access. Is it really 3 days or is it just like xbox’s ea access 3days earlier but just for 10hours?

    1. Ronaldo and Icon edition gives you FULL access 3 days before the official release date (29 Sept). You can play all the time you want, without any limitation and for all platforms (PS4, XB1 and PC).

  20. Hi , i usually buy from the origin store (PC) but when i pre purchase they usually substract the money the release date. Since i buy in mexican pesos and the dollar/peso exchange rate changes a lot i dont know if you know if the price i pay is with the exchange rate of my preorder date or the release date,

    Thank you

    1. If you buy Fifa 18 icon edition digitally will the account you were singed into when you bought it get the packs

  21. Hi, if I buy the icon edition through the PSN store, I still recieve the redemption code or it is only if I buy it physical? And if i have two accounts, in which one will I get the packs? Both or the one where I made the purchase?

  22. Until Fifa 17, the biggest difference between PS and Xbox ware the Legends. Is it over now? Does it mean that there will be no difference between consoles? Tks.

  23. Will you still get 3 day early access and all the other extras if you buy a physical copy of the icon Edition or is it only digital?

  24. Hi,
    Is it possible to use the loyalty offer without get in the game and buy FIFA 18 In PS online store? (I have fifa 17 in my ps4)

      1. I open Fifa 17 on my PC and only see the “Order now” panel of FF18 in the main menu , no discount or clickable , just an information panel 🙁

  25. Hey,

    Thanks again for the information, but i have a question about the ICON edition:
    Do you know it is possible to get the ICON edition in a hard-copy version (so with a harddisk, because i see it as a sort of collectors-item)?

    I’m from the Netherlands so maybe it is a bit difference in the UK, but i’m also wanted to buy it in a UK-store if i can get a hard-copy version.

      1. Thanks for the answer do you expect to know after ea play this weekend? Anyway i’m hoping that it comes as a hard-copy, so if you know tell it please.

          1. Oh sorry, no i maybe we say it otherwise in the Netherlands. I mean the one on disc, so you can have it in your hands. Until now i only see pre-orders for the online download version. Hope it is clear, sorry for possibly wrong wordchoices.
