Okay, so I’ve been digging into this FIFA 18 Ronaldo Edition lately, and I gotta say, it’s been quite a ride. I remember when it first came out, everyone was talking about Cristiano Ronaldo being on the cover. I mean, he’s a legend, right? So, naturally, I had to get my hands on it.
First off, I grabbed my copy for the PlayStation 4. I know there are versions for Xbox One and PC too, but I’m a PlayStation guy through and through. And let me tell you, the PS4 version did not disappoint. The graphics? Smooth. The gameplay? Even smoother. It felt like a step up from the previous FIFA, which I already thought was pretty solid.
One of the first things I noticed was how they used Ronaldo to really push the game forward. I read somewhere that he was their big cover star for FIFA 18, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making the game feel special because of that. It’s not just a name drop; it actually feels like he’s part of the game’s DNA.
- They included the 3. Liga from Germany, which is the third tier. That’s some deep-cut stuff for the hardcore fans.
- The Iceland national team was in there, which was pretty cool to see.
- They also had the Saudi Arabia national team, plus both the men’s and women’s national teams from New Zealand. It’s great to see them expanding the roster like that.
Here are some cool features that stood out to me:
I spent hours playing, trying out different teams and modes. The career mode was addictive, as always. But I also found myself just playing quick matches, trying to score some bangers with Ronaldo. And yeah, I did recreate some of his iconic goals. Who wouldn’t?
Now, I know there are always debates about which FIFA is the best, but for me, the Ronaldo Edition of FIFA 18 really hits the spot. It’s got that mix of realism and fun that I look for in a football game. Plus, having one of the greatest players of all time as the face of the game just adds that extra layer of excitement.
I’ve heard some folks talking about other versions, like the Nintendo Switch one, but I haven’t tried that one myself. From what I gather, it’s a bit different. But for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC crowd, I think we got a real winner with this edition. It’s one of those games that I keep coming back to, even though newer FIFAs have come out since. There’s just something about it that feels special.
In the end, the FIFA 18 Ronaldo Edition was more than just a game with a famous face on the cover. It was a well-crafted experience that made me feel like I was part of the football world. And isn’t that what we all want from these games? To feel that thrill, that excitement, that passion for the beautiful game? I think so. And this game delivered that in spades.
