The verdict
A familiar yearly football game with fun career mode, Rush and friend play, but dragged down by scripted-feeling matches, microtransactions, and PC launch/anti-cheat and stability problems. Skip at full price.
Great for
Offline career-mode fans and couch or friends play who can buy it cheap on sale
Main risk
Launch, anti-cheat and crash problems plus scripted-feeling matches and pay-to-win online modes
