Frostbite allows for the kinds of facial animations and attempted delivery of human emotion required for this kind of story mode. Including The Journey was only possible, according to Prior, because of the decision to use the Frostbite engine originally developed by EA DICE for use on the Battlefield first-person shooter series. The second player can drop in and out when they wish, so there’s no demand to see the whole story through as a duo even if you start out playing that way. When you’re in a game you can have a friend take up a controller and play as any other player on Hunter’s team. Perhaps the most interesting new addition to The Journey, though, is local multiplayer. An image of a South American street, likely Brazil, was used as a teaser for what’s to come in a presentation made to us. You now have the ability to customise Hunter’s appearance, a bigger cast that includes female characters (and Cristiano Ronaldo is featured) and there’s the promise that the story will go beyond the confines of the Premier League. A number of alterations, many of which are based on FIFA 17 player feedback, have been made that affect the scope and means of engaging with the mode. The Journey is back in FIFA 18, picking up where it left Hunter’s story last time out.
Through dialogue decisions and choices regarding your personality and approach to the game, your task was to guide protagonist Alex Hunter towards his dream of playing in the Premier League. That story mode came into being in last year’s FIFA 17 in the form of The Journey.
A story mode, for instance, is something people have been asking for a long time." However, even that is driven in part by consumer feedback. "Most major mode innovations are a long-term thing given the volume of work required to make it work. "To be honest, our approach is a mix of both the feedback and the long-term vision. "Yeah, that’s something we think about and work hard to balance," says FIFA 18 producer Matt Prior when I put this problem to him. This is one of the problems faced by the FIFA series: How much of the design of each game is determined by the wider vision and how much of it is a reaction to the latest slew of player criticism? Whilst you might have a long-term in place to add certain features over a number of years, you cannot ignore the feedback from your latest game and the disruption that might cause to your best-laid plans.
Showing progress with each release is a challenge when you’re working on a franchise that has dedicated itself to an annual release cycle.
