FIFA 18 (PC Version)

Here is Episode 2/Match Day 2 of my FIFA World Cup 2018 playthrough.

I finally imported @Anth James wonderful penalty camera mod in time for this one which really adds to the immersion coupled with his broadcast camera mod. I'm wondering though, Is there a way to remove that awful control hints HUD that comes up for Player 1 during corner/free kicks and also penalties? It's so damn obnoxious, why do I need to see that more than once? You can even turn off the on field player guide with R3 or in the games settings menu but not this for some reason.

Nonetheless, Here's MD2, Should set up some interesting and dramatic final showdowns for the final group games for sure.

The FIFA World Cup continues as our first qualifying and eliminated teams are confirmed. The runners up of 2014 & 2018 collide as Messi's Argentina take on Modric's Croatia in arguable the biggest game of the round!

@MafiaMurderBag Not sure if you're still needing it man but I just got 18 again and I checked the mod for penalty cam and no shake and this works -

No Camera Shake and Gameplay Penalty Cam mod - https://mega.nz/file/REt3mIpD#DPEv4qZUQ-UVPlFibCpYmSZIKo2h95-rgbhqYML3K70

and if anyone is after it here's a broadcast camera mod. It lets you adjust height and zoom much more in game

How s this game offline career mode compared to 16? Is it as good?

It is quite good, probably the last enjoyable to some extent FIFA. Compared to 17 it has a correct ball size. It is a frostbite, so don't expect FIFA16 level of physicality and organic fights for the ball. The thing that made put it dow when I revisted was the cb splitting like the red see when cutting inside the netry of the penalty box.

I'm actually experimenting with 18 these days. I couldn't enjoy it much when it was new, but it's the last that has some potential with some changes, before they screwed with the tactics next year. The ball is definitely still small, they only fixed it in 19.

Cutting inside the penalty box from the wing, with a sudden change of direction, was a problem in fifa 15 (and probably more games), is that what you mean? I'll keep an eye for it!

In their default state, without any modding, 17 is clearly the better game. 18 is faster by default & passing is more assisted/easier. On the other hand physicality is better, you can really see how strength can affect a 50/50 for the ball, and they smoothed out most animations from 17 so it doesn't feel bad at all if the rest can be fixed. If!
 
I enjoy 18 for some last days a lot. In my opinion it is much much better than 20/21/22/23.
Now need help with adding tattoos to make this game look better.

18 is the best visual representation of the game EA have made, much smoother graphics than 21/22/23 and far better gameplay. 19 was a bag of turds in the physics and AI dept.

Are you playing on the latest version of FIFA 18? His mod should be compatible and normally you can ignore those warnings as they just alter the camera values and they're the same no matter what version of FIFA 18 you're playing on.

Do you have other mods installed that might be causing the crashes?

Hey Marlon love the videos on YouTube. Especially the pes 2010 WC playthrough and pes 13 2014 WC, fantastic work.

I recently switched from 21 to FIFA mostly due to graphics and pes getting dull.

I have found that the commentary on pes really starts to irritate me and so I frequently switch leagues and in game commentary to match the league I'm in (it helps a lot).

However I returned to FIFA 18 to try and find a gameplay so realistic to my eyes that I could share with everyone else. I just want a second opinion on the following gameplay sliders :

15 Min Half length
Normal
Legendary


USER/CPU

Sprint speed 0/2 (I want CPU to catch up with me when I play throughballs)

Acceleration 49/49 (@48 CPU defenders almost give up when chasing me down the wing and even though the centre, jockey is bad but it has the best player movement, I wish I could find a fix for 48 acceleration)

Shot error 70/70 (15 minute halves so I want to see misses but nothing too stupid like missing empty nets 5 times in a row)


Pass Error 52/52 ( Adjust this to taste not important but I do this to reduce OP of crossing in the game )

Shot speed 47/47 ( I play on broadcast camera so default shot speed just looks ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous )


Pass Speed 0/0 ( This is what makes the game look very realistic to my eyes )


GK Ability 60/60 ( Increase difficulty of scoring, 12 matches in , neither I or the CPU have scored more than 3 in a single match, and finally the score is 1 - 0 at half time )


Run freq. 30/30 ( Reduce off ball player runs and encourage some tiki taka )


Marking 51/51 ( From 52 and above it drags a cb out of possession and creates unnecessary spaces whereas at 51 I believe it is helping defenders track my through balls which was my biggest turn of with the Vanilla gameplay )


Line length 28/28 ( Has that pes like track back after losing possession and I can now actually see my team's formation on the field )

First Touch 100/100 ( Thought it would look ridiculous but it 100% removed the slippery feel of the game, the ice hockey shit )

Power bar user 68 ( With 0 pass Speed you are going to need it fill quicker at the expense of shots which you are going to sky a lot because of this too. It's almost like the old pes games where the power bar filled to quickly. The only sacrifice I had to make )



Everything else which isnt mentioned is at 50 to keep the the tactics tab relevant you know. When you are playing a pressing team you feel it. When you play City or Barca they want to take a few touches before sliding through their striker and because of the sprint speed settings they can now beat you in a foot race but a goal is not always guaranteed.


Wanted to make this brief at first but thought this would be better to help you with things to look out for.


If you like them please let me know

Remember Normal game speed
 
Guys, been trying to modify half length through locale.ini (elamigos version) and I don't know if the locale.ini is not read or simply the game doesn't read anymore the lanes of
HALF_LENGTH=45
AI_SETTING_HALFLENGTH=45

Can anyone confirm me if it is a reason of the version, or rather locale.ini not working in any of the versions, or rather just those lanes not working in any version? If anyone knows how to change the half length so that it endures 45 minutes, could anyone bring me a hand?

For me, FIFA 17 is better balanced, but has less potential than 18. I am not sure that locale.ini is working actually on FIFA 18. If it was, HALF_LENGTH settings should be doing something, and they are not. Not sure if they are only those lanes not working, or is the whole locale.ini, but my theory is that the whole locale.ini now it is embeed in initfs_win32 file instead of working from the Data Folder, and you have actually to unpack somehow the initfs_Win32 file and pack it again with the propper locale.ini. Not sure of this though.
 
is it worth getting this on pc, i have it on xbox.

Really dont care about kits and rosters
Is it possible to import stadiums?

No you can´t import custom Stadiums in a frostbite Game, Mate. If you don´t care about actual rosters than I can offer you to upload you some old but very good Patches which at least license the Game either through Squads or in a Patch. A.e. the old but gold FifaInfinity Patch! FIFA18 have also a GUI editing tool called CGFE 18. It´s the fifa tool from shawminator well known here in the forum of his PES File Explorer tool! I have stored FIP 18 Patch v.5.1 and rhe great community mod v.6 for the tool to load into FIFA 18. You can read for the FIP 18 Patch the features list on the fip website. Patch i still avaialble for dl there. You will really like the features. I also have old Paul-v and fidel gameplay mods on my drive if you are interested or decide to grab the game on PC. ;-)
Screenshot below shows my stored Patches.
The fifainfinity Patch are splitted into different versions. they addes greece, central european, czech and romania and brazil to the choices to pick.

PS: For how much bucks you have the pc version discovered in the web? Some sites are offers horrible prices. But last time I saw the game in the web it was around 20 bucks. But idk currently the prices

EDIT: THIS is Shawminators tool for the game. tool is very RAM heavy once it loaded into but it runs currently fine on my windows 11 with 32 GB RAM. It also runs with 16 GB RAM.

Thamks for the answer buddy, really appriciate it, havent really searched for a legit key yet, but i think they are considered abandonware nowadays and we have permition to get the copies "some other way".
If i decide to get, ill deffo dm you for mods/files.

You are welcome, Mate! Yes I forgot about the abandonend ware. :-)
If you wanna check in with my legit second account at EA let me know in PM. I would share with you for a test phase as I don´t really need 2 accounts with the same games at the same time, Mate.
But of course the abandonend Version is enough for testing.

brilliant and thanks, ill stick to the abandonware buddy, who knows your legit copy might become the holy grail in afew years, like 16
 
I’ve been jumping back and forth between this and 17 for a while now. They’re both excellent and probably the pinnacle of FIFA. initially, I was going to come here and compare the two but there’s no need for that. I can enjoy both.

FIFA 17 is way more similar to 16, and 18 to 19, and beyond. Even if they are on the same engine, you can tell how different they are. FIFA 17 still uses LB to make feints with the left stick, while, FIFA 18 uses LB to make precise dribbling (essentially walking with the ball). Also, things like animations. FIFA 17 has maybe a bit more fluid animations, but in exchange they are not so polished and sometimes a bit strange. FIFA 18 has more marked animations, but because of the lack of flow or blending, the sliding is more evident (in fact is in FIFA 18, with it's animation system, where the sliding thing starts to appear, yet it wasn't until years after that became like really prominent, from FIFA 20 onwards) but in exchange, players feel like they have more weight in FIFA 18, for the good and the bad. Essentially, FIFA 18 has a more precise dribbling system, but defenders feel rock solid and much more difficult to dribble through (with a direct dribble, like with a skill like la croqueta) compared to FIFA17, yet because of the weight thing, is easier to fool the other with a change of direction.

So, each one has it's good and bad points, but as a person that mods the game, I prefer FIFA 17 cause it's way more modable through the locale.ini than FIFA 18 is.
 
Is it possible to unlock stadiums from only being locked to the teams that plays there?
Like me playing as Udinese but i want to play at La bombonera, as an example!

Using RDBM, you can change the stadium for your team. In the "teamstadiumlinks" parameters of team (Udinese ID is 55) change stadium ID on 264 (La Bombonera), and make 'forcedhome' as "1", "stadiumname" is no need for changing. After that, matches must only take place at LA Bombonera, except for cup finals or other finals. Another variant for various stadiums: is not to do "forcedhome" for your team, but make another stadiums ID's for rival teams and make "forcedhome" as 1 for them.
I did this about two or three years ago. But as far as i remember, not all stadiums works. I tried use some training arenas, but the matches were held in large official stadiums.
