Yeahhhhhh... that is the first and now last Fifa that got an honest effort from EA on Nintendo. You can't say that they didn't try!

Given it was missing not only the Journey but also a random selection of features for no apparent reason, got no promotion, apparently was shipped in low numbers, and they posted neither trailers nor in game screenshots anywhere in the build up to launch to even *try* to build interest I can most definitely say they didn't try.  Or at least didn't try very hard.  

Seriously, the fact people are sweeping all this under the rug to give EA - freaking Electronic Arts - the benefit of the doubt is dumbfounding.  

Shipped in low numbers likely because it was ordered in low numbers. As to "didn't try", yeah lol. It got a custom engine, great visuals for a portable, 60FPS, promotion at least across the web - or, do ads not even note it exists on switch? We don't have ads for games on TV over here, so you'd have to tell me. Also, PS4/XBO players certainly buy it for "the journey" - not really.

Some missing features don't strip the fact that it's a good effort otherwise. It would obviously not do extremely well due to the fact there is no legacy for Fifa on Nintendo, but ~1% is straight up dreadful and undeserved.
