EA Sports has added more than 50 players’ faces to FIFA 18. The move follows pressure from fans since the launch of game, demanding more realistic faces across the board.

While the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and other well-known stars have been captured in pixel-perfect detail, other players have been captured far less accurately.

A total of 53 players – from world-class talent to lesser-known stars – have now received new, more realistic looking faces. Huddersfield Town sees most of their squad get a new look, with midfielder Danny Williams, goalkeeper Jonas Lossl and striker Laurent Depoitre among those to get the treatment.

They join the likes of Besiktas star Ricardo Quaresma and AC Milan’s Andre Silva. Six other players have had their faces tweaked – Giovinco, David Silva, Andros Townsend, Raheem Sterling, Neymar and Hugo Lloris.

Here’s the full list – and to see how the look, the excellent Gamesradar has screen-grabbed a load of them here

EA Sports has announced a new global eSports event for FIFA 18 culminating in the first-ever FIFA eWorld Cup next August. Qualifying begins November 3, with several rounds leading up to the main event.

From November 2017 through July 2018, the tournament will feature several qualifying rounds where you can compete for a spot in the playoffs. There will also be qualifying events for recognized pro players and current teams to gain an entry.

By next summer, the field will be winnowed down to 128 participants — half on Xbox One and half on PlayStation 4. Dubbed the “Champions Cup,” these players will face off against each other in live events until only eight remain. Then it’s on to the FIFA eWorld Cup Grand Final.

Todd Sitrin, SVP and GM of the Competitive Gaming Division at EA, said in a press release that the plan is to build on the rising popularity of eSports in the new worldwide tournament. “Last year was a pivotal achievement for competitive FIFA, engaging millions of competitors and spectators through world football,” he said. “In partnership with FIFA, we’re accelerating the growth of competitive gaming.”

The Madden Championship has been a huge success, and EA is hoping to replicate its popularity by partnering with FIFA. “Competitive FIFA is a global entertainment phenomenon that maximizes the combined power of world football and competitive gaming in unprecedented fashion,” Philippe Le Floc’h, Chief Commercial Officer at FIFA, said.

To participate, you need to first register for the tournament. You can qualify through FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) online competitions and at live qualifying events throughout the year. Get ready for the qualifying events with our FIFA 18 FUT strategy guide to build your team into a powerhouse. It’s available now, bu if you’re new to the FIFA series, you can also grab the free demo and try it out.

We found FIFA 18 to be a game you can play for months at a time, with stunning graphics and smooth, engaging competitions. The Ultimate Team mode adds “Squad Battles,” allowing you so score new cards and coins by playing single-player matches and comparing your performance to others in online leaderboards.

EA is promising lots more information about the various tournaments soon, with official leagues representing real-life clubs, so start practicing now and get ready to face off against competitors from all over the globe.

I’ve played 900 games of FIFAs 17 and 18 over the last year. Just to reaffirm that, in old-school Vidiprinter speak: Nine. Hundred. Games.

“While I’m still way off competing for six figures at eSports events, the sheer wealth of time spent in Career and Ultimate Team modes, coupled with behind-closed-doors access to the EA Canada development team, have enabled me to pick up some sneaky advanced tips – tips which I’m now going to share with you.

“These should aid players of all abilities – from two-button novice to perennial Weekend League contender.”

New defending requires ditching of old habits

There have been claims that FIFA 18’s defending model is broken – mostly by FIFA 17 players unaware of the new ‘hard tackle’, which is halfway between a standing tackle and a slide.

In fact, once you master that new tackle, it’s much improved. The key is to hold down the tackle button for slightly longer than a second before making a challenge, rather than repeatedly tapping it as with previous years. Think of it as charging up a Street Fighter move; it’s about reading the game in advance, rather than reacting to it.

There are also ways you can increase your chances of making key blocks in and around the box, Burnley style. One is to deploy a 4-4-2 (2) formation with two CDMs taller than 6ft 2in. Positionally they’ll help shield your centre-backs, and their sheer size means outstretched legs deflect numerous goalbound shots away. It’s like a Tony Pulis dream.

Also experiment in using the right stick, rather than L1/LB, to switch between players. This takes the choice of who you control out of the AI’s hands, instead placing it in yours.

Want more goals? Turn handballs back on

Tucked away in the Settings menu is an option which, when changed from default, will immediately increase the number of goals you score. Handballs were introduced in FIFA 11 but ‘removed’ a year later after fans complained that the engine couldn’t differentiate between deliberate and accidental. Except they weren’t removed at all – merely switched off unless the game owner decided otherwise.

To flick them back on, head to Customise, then Settings, then Games Settings, then Rules. ‘Handball’ is the fourth option down. Most offline FIFA players set the difficulty at a level where they have more shots than their AI opposition, meaning more time spent in an opponent’s box in any given game – and therefore more chance of ball striking hand.

When it does, you earn a penalty every time – we’re seeing one in every five or six games. The downside is you’ll occasionally concede one too, but it’s definitely a change that benefits human player far more than AI.

Height is the most important keeper attribute

Some advice given to FFT by lead gameplay producer Sam Rivera ahead of FIFA 17’s release remains true this year – particularly in the case of those gangly guys between the sticks. “Two specific attributes [are critical],” said Rivera. “They are the player’s mass – how big they are – and their strength attribute. We combine those values to determine how strong the guys are. The bigger the player, the better he’ll be.”

There’s a simple reason Asmir Begovic and Jack Butland are considered FIFA’s most overpowered Prem keepers: at 6ft 6in and 6ft 5in respectively, their height enables them to reach shots and crosses that their stats suggest should be beyond them. Fraser Forster, at 6ft 7in, is also a colossus despite his 78 OVR.

From the other major leagues, Costel Pantilimon (La Liga, 6ft 7in), Michael Esser (Bundesliga, 6ft 5in) and Gianluigi Donnarumma (Calcio A, 6ft 5in) are all worth consideration for your Career Mode and/or FUT squad.

Pace is a massive part of FIFA, and if you’re building an Ultimate Team, you’ll often need the quickest players to counter everyone else’s speedsters.

Even the FIFA esports professionals use teams with fast players, so that should give you an idea of what you should be doing for your matches at home.

Be warned though, unless you’re lucky enough to open them in a pack, the players on this list will be super pricey on the transfer market.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Hands down the fastest player in the world is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. His normal card has a pace of 96. However, he also has an upgraded In Form where it’s bumped up even further to 97. He’s not just all about the speed either, as his attacking stats are great too.

Jonathan Biabiany

Challenging for Aubameyang’s crown right now is Jonathan Biabiany. The Frenchman plays for Sparta Prague, and they’re definitely glad of his pace. His stats aren’t quite as good as Aubameyang’s, but he can certainly dribble down the wing and put a cross in.

Ernest Asante

Of course, not all the fastest players have gold cards. Ernest Asante is a Ghanaian winger who plays for Danish team FC Nordsjælland. The 28 year old has a huge 95 pace in FIFA 18, though his other stats don’t quite stack up.

Mathis Bolly

Mathis Bolly, is another lesser known player, but his German second division club SpVgg Greuther Furth certainly know all about him. The right midfielder also has a pace of 95, and could be an interesting addition to a silver team.

Jurgen Damm

Back to the gold players now with Jurgen Damm, a Mexican player who plays for Liga MX club Tigres UANL. He’s also got a pace of 95, and it appears the majority of fastest players play on the right flank.

Hector Bellerin

The first defender on the list, Arsenal’s Bellerin has proved over the past few years that he’s one of the fastest players in the Premier League. The right back from Spain has a pace of 95, and is often a hot commodity on the transfer market.

How to Earn FIFA 18 Coins Quickly and Easily in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

This FIFA 18 Ultimate Team guide is focused on how to earn FIFA Coins quickly and easily. We’ll go over the various daily and weekly activities you can take part in, plus give some tips on how to play the transfer market to make more FIFA Coins.

Squad Battles are a Huge FIFA 18 Coin Earner in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

We’ve got a full guide for Squad Battles in FIFA 18, but the short of it is that taking part in the weekly squad battles can earn you a LOT of FIFA Coins. Each match earns you coins and the better you do the higher you’ll rank, and the better the prizes you win will be. Get involved. It’s worth it.

Squad Building Challenges Earn you FIFA 18 Coins

FIFA 18 Ultimate Team makes building squads its own puzzle mini game. Squad Building Challenges in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team are added all the time (some with time limits, some without) and task you with building a squad to meet certain criteria. Each challenge includes numerous puzzles, each with its own reward (sometimes tradable, sometimes not) before you earn the big prize for completing the whole challenge.

If you’ve built up a large roster of players you should be able to complete a number of these fairly easily and potentially earn big FIFA Coin rewards or players that can be sold for coins. Putting suitable players for live Squad Building Challenges onto the transfer market should also help you bag some FIFA Coins.

We’d suggest that Squad Building challenges are not as much fun to play as Squad Battles, but they can be played when you don’t have access to a console or PC to play FIFA 18.

Web App – Daily FIFA 18 Coin Rewards

The FIFA 18 web app is free to use if you have an EA account and have played FIFA 18. Every day you log in you’ll get a FIFA Coin reward of some sort. The web app is also a useful way to take part in the Squad Building Challenges and manage your transfers if you’re away from you console or gaming PC.

Team of the Week Challenge net you FIFA Coins

Take on the Team of the Week and you’ll earn a nice sum of FIFA Coins. The harder the difficulty you choose, the more coins you’ll earn.

Sell to Swap Unwanted Players for FIFA Coins

This is obvious, but if you have players sat around you can either use them to complete Squad Building Challenges or sell them (as long as they are tradable). List every play you don’t need and make some coins.

Daily and Weekly Objectives Earn you FIFA Coins for Hardly Trying in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

FIFA 18 Ultimate Team’s Daily Objectives and Weekly Objectives are an easy way to earn FIFA Coin rewards. Each time you boot up FIFA 18, check out the objectives and see if there any any you can complete while playing your usual games. Some rewards are FIFA Coins and others are card packs, but pack contents can be sold on the transfer market.
