The physics of this updated frostbite engine seem much more oriented on the strength of the players rather than the pace alone. The sliding tackle seems more precise and gives more ways to reach the ball than before. Luckily new animations for the defenders have been added, giving the opportunity to steal the ball with a push of a button with the right timing. On the other hand, the movements without the ball are slower, so it’s not easy to defend against fast players. There is more responsiveness with most of the players while in control of the ball, any animation can be interrupted or modified when we want to grant a better control of the action. EA Sports has implemented a new Frame-To-Frame technology for the animations. The movements seem heavier in some situation, like while turning 90 degrees, while in others it is the complete opposite. The game has adapted to the new rules of football, so it means that the kick-off can be played directly on the player behind, without the need of a second touch. Already from the kick-off, it feels like a different game from FIFA 17. The gameplay has changed more than expected after watching the closed beta videos on the net. Let’s jump to the core of the game, what we were waiting for. We might even recognize some songs in the future and yell “oh, I already know this song!” Gameplay Usually, EA Sports chose songs that we can typically hear on a typical radio station. The soundtracks are not complete in the demo, but they seem to fit in the game menus without becoming repetitive, at least in this few hours of gameplay. It’s the first time in the history of the saga that a celebration type brings voices along with it. For this chapter, I have noticed the characteristic “ooooh” for the Cristiano Ronaldo celebration. From the chants of the crowd, very accurate for most of the largest teams in the world, to the screams of the coach on the sideline. The sound is great, you can hear everything. Also, the audience got reworked.It is now more detailed and more reactive to what happens on the pitch For Example, I scored a goal and ran towards the side of the fields to celebrate and saw people running near the player to celebrate with him from the stands. The players’ got a lot of new facial animations, from smiles to angry faces, giving a more immersive experience for the viewer. Obviously, the game on PC has more fps than the one on the consoles, but still the overall graphics doesn’t change much. The game looks gorgeous on both PS4 and PC, the two platforms I tested it on. Let’s begin talking about the Graphics, one of the main feature of this new chapter.
