A handful were pleased, but several pointed out that it missing features was going to hamstring it in the extreme. Especially since EA was hyping up The Journey as a key feature. Add to that they bungled some of the online features and stripped out features that were in no way tied to the engine change and the stigma was going to dog this game to the grave, there was never an iota of doubt in my mind. Perception matters, more than most people around here seem to think. I've seen a much better reception for the 2k18 port that has some technical snags but is feature complete. Also, EA did next to nothing to promote Fifa on switch either. It was franky laughable they thought this effort would make Fifa 18 a must have Switch title. |
That quote about how FIFA 18 would become a "must have" title alongside Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Zelda Breath of the Wild was absolutely hilarious from the very beginning.
