Well its EA.Their shitty practices is not surprising.

EA isn't the problem, its the specs.

Relative to the hardware Fifa should look fine on the Switch. But I would be annoyed if its missing significant features from the X1/PS4.

Lol, Fifa isn't a demanding game at all. EA is the problem. Nobody's going to buy their games on the Switch anyway.

Why aren't the PS3 and 360 versions running in 1080p then?
FIFA is a 60FPS game. That's the demanding part.
Nintendo is the problem.

For as bad as EA normally is, EA isn't the problem here. If it were just them alone doing this, I'd agree with you. But Bethesda is doing the same thing with Skyrim.  Nintendo's the problem here.

And this game is running in 1080p, 60fps - even in splitscreen.

No, Nintendo is quite clearly not the problem. Anyway, who cares about Fifa, that's a game for football fans, not for actual gamers (although one can be both of course). The football crowd is not all of a sudden going to switch to the Switch because it has the latest Fifa games. They'll just stick to the HD twins.

You realize a racer isn't really comparable to a FIFA game, right? Not that FIFA is the epitome of "demanding" games, but there's a lot going on on-screen (22 players on screen, all with different stats that AI has to account for; in-game physics; etc) which would prevent it from doing 1080p in order to achieve a crisp 60fps (which is the best thing for sports games). 

Also, lol. "That's a game for football fans, not for actual gamers". Actual Gamer™ checking in, here. If you think FIFA is going to be the only problem, you're in for a rude awakening. See: Skyrim.

Apple vs oranges really.
How would you know if this is more or less demanding than FIFA? Certainly not by showing a completely different game getting to 1080p60FPS. 360 and PS3 also have a few 1080p 60FPS ones. What does that say about FIFA? Absolutely nothing.

Compare FIFA on all different platforms. 360/PS3/WiiU is 720p60FPS with last gen engine, PS4/X1 is 1080p60FPS with last gen engine (FIFA 14-16) AND current gen engine (FIFA 17). Why would you expect a Switch version to not only match the current gen's 1080p but also the transition from old to new engine, when all of EA's current games were made with X1/PS4 in mind. A downgrade is obvious. Now because they're using the old engine on Switch, 1080p60FPS in docked mode is not out of the question.

Unprecedent on how shit it is to Nintendo. Zero effort, as always... EA... yeks



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Please show me a PS3 or XBOX360 game that looks that good while running at 1080p and 60fps. Fifa is hardly know for its cutting-edge graphics or impressive AI. It's a lacklustre and unimpressive franchise. Also Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is reported to run at 1080p and 60fps, even during four-player splitscreen. And I think Arms also runs at 1080p and 60fps.

People do not realize that EA is the publisher for Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare series, Madden, Mass Effect, Battlefield, Need for Speed e.t.c If they don't like switch none of these games are coming to it. And to the people saying no one cares about Fifa how the hell does it keep selling then?

If you wanna argue the Switch is more powerful than PS360, that's fair. But its still not anywhere near X1 and PS4.

Maybe bringing the PS360 version to Switch will allow for 1080p resolution and better textures. As long as it plays like the 8th gen version there isn't much to complain about.
