are legends now on both consoles or just PS4?

I bought both consoles and I've played my xbox one about 5 times. it's dead weight. stick with 1 console IMO unless your into exclusives a lot. I really should sell it but it's worth so little I may as well keep it just in case.
 
On both yes. I like having one console but the best console hence going from the One to the Pro, now the One X appears to eclipse the Pro!
 
i also bought an Xbox One at Xmas and its been turned on 3 times. Again mayaswell sell it to be honest, i thought FIFA may have had the legends again but now there on both my PS4 will be the console i buy it for.
 
Shielding/Driven Pass/LT+RT all nerfed - I struggled in possession as I usually use a lot of LT+RT, higher error rate on driven pass...can't ping it around like you can in 17.

Game feels a lot more fluid - I guess this is down to the animation changes, no more LT/RT -> snapping into a shield like 17.

Driven shot across goal still good but not quite as crazy good as it is in 17.

Less control when you're sprint dribbling - opens you up to being dispossessed easier. Dribbling with C. Ronaldo, Thiago, Modric felt really nice.

Lots of changes to crossing but I'm rubbish in the air so didn't really try it out...I was too busy trying not to lose! Near post corners still difficult to defend, conceded a few against Lewandowski (Who was probably the striker who caused me the most problems!)

Defending a lot less reliant on AI, pure aggression doesn't work as well as it did in 17

GKs weren't great from range but I guess this is was because we were playing H2H offline, default difficult probably means terrible keepers?!

FUT wasn't playable, just H2H with (from what I can remember) Real Madrid, Man Utd, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Toronto and possibly a couple of other teams that I've forgotten.

[edit : FIFA on Switch actually looks pretty promising, I wasn't planning on picking it up as I figured it would just be a XB360/PS3 port but it plays really well and visuals are surprisingly good, it has FUT but no Champs so I think I'll get be getting it for mobile play so I don't have to lug my Xbox to events!]

Thanks for the feedback Dan. Im a little disappointed LT/RT isnt a thing really enjoyed it regardless of how unrealistic it maybe. It sounds much more difficult with the changes made. I hope near post corners are nerfed drives me crazy.

LT/RT may still be effective in FUT, increased speed may help it but it certainly was more difficult in 18 H2H - we played some 17 H2H later on that day so could definitely feel the difference.
 
Hopefully I'll do the same as last year, abstain from getting it, constantly tell gf's brother I'm not getting it (We gameshare) he'll get it due to being weak, I drop the price of the game on packs!

I sort of abstained last year. I bought it on XB1 as it was only £15. I never use the Xb1 and I only have 1 controller so when mates came round we played fifa 16. Must have had less than 20 games on 17.
 
i'm glad they're putting a street mode in with this as well. Makes for an interesting little change.

PES is looking tasty this year though...but i suspect as usual i'll go for fifa

PES I imagine will never recover to it's former glory. It's bigger in Asia due to it being it's home market but FIFA will remain dominant in USA and therefore Europe. So I don't see them going bust but I don't see them overtaking fifa like they did for a while about 10 years back.
 
I miss the daily/weekly challenges from a couple of games back.

Jump in and play a portion of the match from the previous weekend replicating one team being 2-0 down or whatever situation, they didn't always focus on Premier League either so I'd experience other teams I wouldn't usually play as.

Think I must be the only one who played it.
