The part of me that tries to look at the best side of a situation likes to think that and that a sincere FIFA port was a sign of good faith until they can get the engine ported over to the Switch.

Yeah, I'd love to see them port the engine. It's apparently very scalable and Switch has done well with the UE4 (also very scalable thanks to EG implementing special features for the Switch) ports it has gotten, so once they have the engine up and running, porting might be easy and quick. It's just that the initial effort of porting the engine over would take a lo of time and recources.

Probably next year. I just want NHL, and NHL doesn't even run on Frostbite from what I understand. 

Just porting an engine doesn't magically mean performance isn't a problem either. Star Wars Battlefront II for example is only 900p on PS4 and 720p on XBox One. 

XBox One is 3x the power of the Switch when docked like 8x more when undocked. You have to make likely some monstrous compromises and heavy redesign of the game code to get it to run on the Switch at anything acceptable if it makes even the XBox One sweat.
