    Not too much given away being a teaser, but I'd say the graphics look improved which is always nice!

    Oh, and they can just take my money right f*****g now for this:

    Don't care for UT at all. Care more for AI improvements and Career Mode improvements.

    Never get my hopes too high for actual gameplay improvements. It's part great, accurate football simulation with lots to like and part infuriating, nonsensical mess with lots to hate. Never seems to really change on that front.

    I was working from home yesterday as the kids' school was shut for the election, so I spent half the day playing FIFA with my son. I discovered that neither Prodl or Holebas are in the Watford squad, but are in Austria and Greece once respectively.

    Most of them are pretty good likenesses except Cathcart who looks nothing like him.

    Am I right in thinking that legends were not available on Playstation Ultimate Team on Fifa 17?
    Can't wait for it to come out- will be interesting how "The Journey" is improved.

    Rarely play fifa other than when I am pissed up at a mates house.

    I did teach reids a lesson or two a few weeks back though.

    Just playing the PES 2018 online beta... My god what a pile of sh*t. How are there still people that insist it's a better pure football game? It's literally like playing something from 15 years ago. Terrible animations, ridiculous physics, unresponsive, jarring, rigid gameplay, awful graphics and crap production values.

    Don't get me wrong, FIFA is far, far from perfect and there are plenty of times it frustrates me so much I'll lambast it as the worst game ever made, but compared to PES it's a 10/10.

    AI is being fleshed out with different mentalities of attacking and defending. Hopefully that adds some depth to the AI.

    Yeah hopefully. I get so annoyed that the computer never fouls me, mis places a pass and always know what I'm about to do next before ive even thought about it haha.

    Fifa is rubbish. And you lot pay 45 quid every year for a slightly updated league system? Pes is only bad because it's been copying fifa for 7 or 8 years in a effort to stay relevant.

    I got fed up with both a few years back.

    Nah won't be getting it this year. I always get it play for a couple of months and then drop it for the next 10.

    What a dreadful trailer! Did they show any in-game footage? I don't think so.

    That was over two months ago and was simply the announcement trailer. Not sure what else you'd expect? Plenty of gameplay out there now.

    I have no idea of the changes they have made, but I desperately hope for much more realistic AI. One thing that has always annoyed me, and I hope they have done something about it, is the thrown ins. I want to be able to select who I want to take the throw, not be stuck with Troy Deeney, taking the throw in because he was closest when the ball went out.

    Holebas needs a long throw trait, as he can take a good throw.

    Rory Delap deserved his own category of throws.

    Yeah he does, he gets some pretty good distance on his throws. However I doubt EA have paid any attention to this. I guess you just keep complaining to EA about certain things and they include it on updates sometimes.

    Haha his throws kept Stoke in the Prem

    SM#16 seemed to be involved in the process.

    Pumped for FIFA 18 now. If FIFA actually rate our players correctly we should have Femenia, Carrillo, Richarlison, Gray and Success all as speedsters. Followed by Zeegelaar, Doucoure and Chalobah all relatively quick.

    Unfortunately though they will probably only have Gray and Carrillo.

    I hope they sort out that mess of a career mode because that is the only reason I really played the latest FIFA's.

    I can't stand UT or online because dignity is lost when you lose to a 12 year old Polish kid who's constantly calling you "Ni***" and "Sh!t" throughout the game. Made worse when they get their goalscorer to do a dab... Makes me want to kill myself......

    If they can get a career mode system that involves features that are in Football Manager (too many to mention), then I feel it would be an amazing game. In fact, if you combined FM and Fifa i'd buy it within a heartbeat... It's a shame that their target market is mostly young'uns who would find sorting out training regimes and tactics too difficult to comprehend so I can't really expect to see anything like that any time soon.

    Unless there are any major updates to this game, i'll probably just go for FM 18, which no doubt will also have its flaws

    Has anyone got FIFA 18 yet ??
    If so has the vic been upgraded or is it still half finished in the game ??

    Not got it yet but I got invited to the beta and in that it was still the same as it has been since FIFA 16. I complained about it in the closed beta forum!

    I complained about Femenia's pace directly to EA and got a response. I pointed out the fact that Femenia has been clocked at 21.8mph this season while Mané has been clocked at 21.6mph. I also reminded them of his performance against Barca last season where he had Neymar in his back pocket all game, out paced him and won MOTM.

    One of the EA managers contacted me and basically said he will pass the info on to the developers team but he doubts Femenia's ratings will change.

    Surely it's just one big data file for the stats, 2 minute job.

    One would have thought that, and it probably is. However it's Femenia and Watford, are EA bothered? Unlikely.

    Guarantee if Man Utd fans complained about Rashford's pace, it would be changed.

    The only thing I think will make EA change it is if a load of Watford fans complain, sign a petition, highlight the biasness and in true American fashion, threaten to sue them for discrimination, unfair treatment and a bunch of other reasons that people sue for here in the States.

    Another example of an anti-Watford bias being taken.

    I bet it'll also have Watford specific commentary where names are wrong, says things like 'well that was a jammy goal ' and incorrectly give offside goals against them.

    Well they are trying to make it as realistic as possible I guess.
