The FIFA 18 trailer has finally landed, and it looks incredible.
FIFA 18 developer EA Canada has unveiled a new teaser video for the game, in which you can compare the live mo-cap of cover star Cristiano Ronaldo to how it appears within the Frostbite engine.It. The biggest totally free game fix & trainer library online for PC Games https://gamecopyworld.com.
The new game, which features Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo on the cover, boasts vastly improved graphics and player models from last year’s edition.
Watch the FIFA 18 trailer below.
For Ronaldo, being picked as the cover star marks the end of an incredible season for the Portuguese forward – which saw him win the European Championships with Portugal last summer, La Liga, and the Champions League.
Cover stars are traditionally amongst the best players in the game, but there was a small minority of fan who called to downgrade his FIFA 18 rating as they thought he was too good in FIFA 17.
Others wanted to see Ronaldo’s FIFA 18 weak foot ability awarded the full five stars off the back of a string of wonder goals with his left.
Whether he gets a lower rating in the last game is still anyone’s guess – but given that he’s the cover star, it’s unlikely to take too much of a hit – and given his form in recent months, it may even rise.
- FIFA 17: Marco Reus
- FIFA 16: Lionel Messi and Jordan Henderson
- FIFA 15: Lionel Messi and Arturo Vidal
- FIFA 14: Lionel Messi
- FIFA 13: Lionel Messi, Joe Hart and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
- FIFA 12: Wayne Rooney and Jack Wilshire
Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus fronted the last game after a public vote, but was met by a lukewarm reception from fans.
The preview year Jordan Henderson featured on the cover with Messi – causing a stir on social media, with some complaining the Liverpool midfielder wasn’t a big enough name to grace the cover of such a prestigious game.
But those doubts are unlikely to be forthcoming with the announcement of Ronaldo on the cover, with the world’s most famous footballer likely to make new and existing players rush to the shops when it goes on sale in September this year.

Everything we know about FIFA 18 so far
What other big changes can we expect to see in in FIFA 18?
FIFA 17 has come under fire for some aspects of its gameplay – but as FIFA 18 will be powered by the same engine, we doubt much will change here.
Input delay – the time it takes for a button press to translate into an on-screen action – has led to some negative feedback in FIFA 17.
There have also been claims of ‘EAaids’ or ‘scripting’, which refers to the game dynamically adjusting online matches to favour weaker players.
Whilst the former issue is a result of the game’s severs compensating for ‘Ping’ or connection strength variance between online players, we’d expect to see action taken over ‘EAAids’.
Whether this will be the re-introduction of a “momentum” bar, as in FIFA 06, or just a tweak of the alleged in-game code remains to be seen.
Either way, fans want something done about it.
When they release a trailer?
EA plan to release the trailer for FIFA 18 on June 5.
Although the exact time is still TBC, expect it to drop at 6pm BST – as per other EA FIFA announcements.
When will it come out, and will there be a demo?
FIFA 18 will launch in on September 29
For those wanting early access, the demo usually lands a week or two before the game launches – but expect EA Access members to get first dibs.
Will Cristiano Ronaldo still be the best player?
It’s been an incredible year for the Portuguese, so he’ll definitely remain the game’s best player in FIFA 18.
Some believe he may have a stats downgrade, though – especially with regards to his pace and dribbling (which we’ve mocked up below).
Lionel Messi, who has been in blistering form of late, will keep second spot.
Who will be the cover star?
Cristiano Ronaldo has been named this year’s star.
Will The Journey feature again? (SPOILER ALERT)
Absolutely.
According to EA CEO Andrew Wilson, The Journey Season Two will feature new characters and story-lines and will ‘build on the foundation created with story mode this year’.
Alex Hunter’s debut was largely well-received by critics and fans alike.
One of the issues with The Journey was that player choice did not affect the story as much as many would like.
As a result, expect improved dialogue wheels with actions that genuinely affect Hunter’s fate.
The EA-published Mass Effect series saw a similar evolution of the dialogue wheel – eventually allowing your character to interrupt NPCs mid conversation.
This feature would be a welcome, and easy to implement, addition.
Will free kicks and penalties stay the same?
Penalties won’t change much, but free kicks could see an overhaul.
The new “momentum” system that governs the set-pieces is incredibly hard to master and has been panned by FIFA players.
As a result, we’d expect this to revert back to the more “traditional” shot power and curl mechanic.
The system works wonders for penalties, though – allowing for much more control over shot placement and power.
Goalkeeper AI during spot kicks is often found wanting, so expect EA to address this.
Will this FIFA make use of VR?
On PS4 Pro and PC, almost certainly.
Sony has invested millions into PSVR but needs more mainstream games to show it off.
FIFA could be the perfect platform to propel the hardware firmly into the mainstream – especially as the company look to further capitalise on the beefed up PS4 Pro.
But for those hoping that VR will replace the controller, that’s still some way off.
EA’s Sebastian Enrique told Trusted Reviews “haven’t found something that beats the experience when you have a controller in your hands”.
Where VR could be implemented, though, is through a camera angle – perhaps exclusive to PS4 / PC versions.
This would essentially place the player amongst fans in the stands – putting them next to a few well-rendered fans, and giving them ability to look around their seat.
They would play the game as per usual, only players would be further away – with the entire pitch visible.
Whilst VR won’t be anything super special (forget about first-person Alex Hunter for the time being), we think specific gameplay camera options will cater to the technology.
A “crowd” camera, that allows you to play a game as if you were watching from the stands, is – in theory – incredibly simple to pull off.
While a “first-person ref cam” could add some much needed immersion.
Non VR-ready games can be enjoyed on PSVR – with the device acting a micro-cinema screen on your face.
It’s time FIFA made the most of it.
What will be the best new feature?
Dynamic weather will almost certainly feature in FIFA 18.
Need For Speed (2015) and Battlefield 1 -are both powered by the same engine and make use of unpredictable in-game weather systems.
Speaking to Metro last year, EA DICE’s Patrick Bach explained why weather is so much more than just a ‘pretty effect’.
“We often talk about these different dimensions in Battlefield, where you have the rock, paper, scissors and then you marry that with the destruction and you create unpredictability from different angles. And with the layer of weather we actually change the way you play in a very drastic way,” he said.
“So, if you have the tactics of being a sniper and it starts to rain then you probably have to change tactics. And the same with fighter planes, once the fog rolls in it’s like, ‘Okay, this is not as effective anymore, so I probably need to go back on the ground’.
“It’s not only a pretty effect, it actually changes the way you play the game.”
Dynamic weather would add a whole new layer of tactics to gameplay in FIFA.
For example, weather taking a turn for the worse could negatively affect player ground speed, passing accuracy and injury probability.
Players could fall over more easily, goalkeepers could be more likely to fumble fast shots… the list is endless, and would all help add an extra level of realism to the game.
How about the soundtrack?
Established artists such as Blur, Kasabian and Radiohead have all featured in the past, but recently there’s been more music from emerging talent making its way on to the game.
Whilst it’s too early to make any predictions, expect this trend to continue in FIFA 18.
How much will it cost?
FIFA 18 will cost around £49.99 – but given the demand, some outlets may undercut this.
We expect the cheapest the game will go for at launch to be around £45.
When can I pre-order it?
Pre-orders should kick off around June 6, if last year’s campaign is anything to go by.
FIFA 18 is released in late September on Xbox, PS4 , PC Xbox 360 and ps3.

See for details.Show More. If u luv aids this is the game for you, bc its everywhere. I tap a winger on the shoulder and say to em ' oui m8, can i borrow that really quick, and he flops harder than fernando torres and i get a yellow. But then(and this is the aids part btw) the cpu and/or opponents koulibally comes racing up to me with a 9 iron and beats my skull in and runs off with the ball like thats expected, with ref encouraging it and.
alan smith going 'oui well thats terrible ball control'. Idk about anyone else but i need some the magic johnson pills to keep the aids at bay. I just wish ea could just tell me who i gotta suck off to get some players who dont have landau kleffner syndrome and who could actually be classified as proffesional futbol players. Not to mention the times where my 86 paced LB gets blown past by nutter mcdickhead on fut and their strikers run past my back line while theyre counting lady bugs.
Consider urself warned, NEVER BUY THIS GAME I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH?. Submitted on 8/12/2018 Review title of AuschtenI'm done, R.I.P. FIFAEven if this is free, do not install. Ive bought fifa for ovr a decade n have never been so angry playing. I can be winning a match and still be yellin at the tv. TILT IS REAL.
Game sliders favor the losing team. If ur tied or losing in 45th or 90th min, shoot from anywhere u will score. Might as well turn off assisted passing, still broke. AI is mindblowingly stupid, but then displays a super-human ability to block shots. U can drop a shoulder and truck ppl, no foul. Strength n composure r way more important, pace is less important now.
Cant select the right player whenevr there is a loose ball. Too many problems to list them all, serious issues have been avoided and now there r even more problems. Plenty of updates, barely anything was fixed. Thnx to u rich cucks spam buying packs evry week, EA can just come out w the same game knowing u'll still throw ur mony at em.
I have given up. Not buying 19 until i know they worked on the game instead of just trying to rob us consumers blind. Submitted on 4/28/2019 Review title of NMFELKDKKJJCJJQWorst edition yetThe one positive of this game is the graphics other than that its terrible. Passing in this game is a complete joke, slow and off target 90% of the time.
Defense in PvP is next to impossible, havent played a game where each side doesnt have at least 5 goals. Pace is all that matters in this game and players like kane arent worth using over someone like musa which makes 0 sense. This game is made for those who excel at skill moves and dribbling thru defenses due to the inconsistency in passing. All of that being said nothing is worse than FUT. Packs r horrendous, squad battles is beyong rigged and weekend league is all ppl who hold rb and cut passing lanes with a striker. Not a representation of real soccer and the game will leave u more frustrated than its worth. Submitted on 7/30/2018 Review title of Kixondrashjust another.
ea game (shocker)DONT BUY THIS IS THE WORST GAME I'VE EVER PURCHASED!The journey has absolutely no substance and was completely predictable.Career mode blows because once you get 90+ you can really only sign for athletico, real, fcb, psg, or manu. Manager career sucks just like every other fifa (no change).passing in this game is harder than giving birth.there is such a difference on AI difficulties that you beat one difficulty 12-0 but then lose to the next 5-0.if you purchase this game you are making the biggest mistake of your life.
