People are upset because they feel Switch should be getting an experience at par with X1 and PS4.

I think its certainly possible to get Frostbite on Switch and create a more feature complete version of Fifa 18 on Switch. That's based on the great ports of BF on 7th gen consoles.

Frankly, if I was a Fifa fan I would just buy it on X1 or PS4. But if all you have is Switch, PS3, or 360. Then settle with what you get, maybe wait for a price cut, or don't play it all. Its really that simple.

Frankly, Switch owners should be glad when they get significant 3rd party games. Because there isn't much happening at the moment.

Beacuse people are familiar with power difrence, any reasonable person on Switch don't expect same experience that is at par with X1 and PS4.

It's definitely possible to get current version of Frostbite on Switch, but that would probably mean 720p-900p resolution and lower FPS, in this case you are getting 1080p/60fps.

Biggest advantage of Fifa 18 for Switch is full handheld mode, and playing local multiplayer even in handheld/tabletop mode.

I didn't mean visual fidelity when I said at par, perhaps I should have clarified. But I think people really want the same Frostbite game on their Switch with little compromise and we don't know how feasible that is, especially when it comes to good graphics with a smooth frame rate.

I think sports games are the only titles that achieve 1080p/60 fps on PS4 and X1. On Switch they would probably aim for 720p docked just to dedicate more resources to graphics, its also unlike they would achieve 60 fps.

Fifa on Switch seems to be a solid product on portable specs. There seems to be compromises made either way EA goes.
