Granted, plenty of soccer fans will still likely flock to FIFA Mobile simply because no one else has as many licenses for real teams and does presentation quite like EA.
EA deserves credit for tightening things up in this regard while the game was in soft launch, but if the goal is a console quality experience, this shot falls a bit short. Despite options for both tap and virtual stick-and-button controls, there are times when you don’t feel fully in control of your players. That could be at least partially overlooked if the action on the pitch was smooth and satisfying, but it’s not always either of those things. It’s a concept that works well in American football, which is easily divvied up into drives, but it feels as bizarre as it sounds in soccer. The idea is to score as many possible goals in one half, and each “possession” lasts until you score or the other side clears the ball past midfield. In Attack Mode, you play only your team’s possessions with the ball on the attacking side of the field. Though there could scarcely be a sport more ill-suited for asynchronous play than soccer, that’s exactly what FIFA Mobile presents. The multiplayer is something else entirely, and that’s meant in the most bewildered possible way. There’s nothing wrong with those first two categories, save for an energy system that can be very restrictive in the early going. FIFA Mobile is structured around three gameplay pillars, again very similar to Madden Mobile: Live Events, which are short challenges to earn various rewards a Season mode, where you pit your squad against various real world clubs and head-to-head play, either straight up or in user-created League tournaments. The confusion continues when it comes to the various gameplay modes. It’s not intuitive in any way, shape or form.
Figuring out who will play in which set-up is a matter of trial and error at first, and part of it depends on where you slot guys on the team screen instead of just picking the best men for the job automatically. But while you never need more than three forwards, you’ll end up having eight on your roster altogether, with different players getting the call depending on which formation you select. It’s everywhere else that the head-scratching occurs.Īssembling a team is unnecessarily confusing, as you unlock different formations and tactics as you go. That part works great for Madden and should be perfectly fine in FIFA as well. Coins earned during gameplay can be spent on packs of cards for more players, and there’s an extensive system of tokens and trophies that allow you to chase after some of the very best the sport has to offer. The overall framework retains much of the same spirit as the Ultimate Team games, in the sense that you are looking to build the best possible soccer team from a wide selection of real life players.
