The Journey mode and that it's not running off the Frostbite engine, which tbh is fine.

It's a lose-lose situation for Switch gamers honestly.
1) If they don't buy the game EA can cite poor sales as a reason to abandon their support for the Switch and not make any games.
2) If the game sells well then EA will think they can continue to make ports of their games with less features and such.

Yes, that's true. Especially the missing story-mode is a joke on the switch :( The Journey-mode features are great.

EA wants only the money, the wishes of the nintendo fans are not important -.-

As far as know, The Journey mode. But, it's not a big deal imho.

So, it's just the story mode powered by frostbite that is missing, because it uses a custom built engine for Switch. 

Yep. I think portability totally makes up for that.

Looks pretty good for handheld, I'm guessing docked will look better

looks great and the only mode that isn't available is the "hunter returns".

EA have added "Local" mode, which only exists on Switch, so thats an decent something at least

as a big Fifa fan this actually looks really good, looks like the best ever Handheld fifa and if its true that "only" The Journey is missing, this isnt even a big deal, i have NEVER played The Journey in Fifa 17 and a lot of people, streamers, friends etc. didnt even care about The Journey either. as long there are carreer mode and especially Ultimate Team which would be really important for me and most people its absoultely fine.

I dont own a Switch, but if i would get one i could actually see myself picking this up, but the PS4 Version would always be my main version. But because its portable and for people that travel a lot or i dont know this could actually be really nice.

What, are you telling me that there's not such thing as local multiplayer in other platforms? Or am I reading wrong?

More than one Switch, upto 4 (might be 2) I think can link wireless for local play, not available for other versions that I'm aware 

Found this, look at the video after the half way point, that's "Local mode"
