FIFA 17 may have only been out a few months, but EA is already working hard on this year’s game.

And it’s set to be the best FIFA yet.

While details are scarce, look close enough and there are plenty of clues about how EA Sports’ next football game will shape up.

We answer some of the big questions fans want addressed about FIFA 18.

What platforms is it on?

If this isn’t the first FIFA game to not feature on Xbox 360 and Ps3 then it won’t be far off.

As more and more gamers upgrade to current gen consoles, FIFA 18 could bypass last-gen altogether.

Speaking to Dream Team Gaming  last year,  Frostbite Studio Director Jonas Skantz revealed: “I can assure you that Frostbite continues to be a true differentiator.”

“With more and more games powered by Frostbite – whether it is FIFA, Battlefield, Mass Effect or others – our development teams can spend more time building new groundbreaking gameplay innovations.”

FIFA 17 was the first game in the series to be powered by Frostbite – which replaced Ignite used the previous year.

While graphics took a noticeable boost this year, especially facial and player animations, FIFA 18 will see more subtle improvements as it’ll run on the same Frostbite 4 engine.

Expect player movement and animation to look sharper – not to mention greater detail and likeness.

Other peripheral graphical tweaks, such as improved crowd detail, will also be present.

PS4 Pro owners and PC gamers will once again receive the best-looking versions of the game.

The former will once again capitalise on “Pro Mode” – allowing for increased detail and more stable framerate at above 1080p resolution.

Pro Mode offered tangible improvements in FIFA 18, but this year, EA will have more time to push this even further and make greater use of Pro’s substantial GPU grunt.
 

FIFA 18 has come under fire for some aspects of its gameplay – but as FIFA 18 will be powered by the same engine, we doubt much will change here.

Input delay – the time it takes for a button press to translate into an on-screen action – has led to some negative feedback in FIFA 18.t

There have also been claims of “EAaids” or “scripting”, which refers to the game dynamically adjusting online matches to favour weaker players.
