FIFA 18 til Nintendo Switch har overrasket skeptikere både i forhold til mekanikkerne og mængden af indhold, da der afvikles i 1080p60/720p60, og derigennem bibeholder den flydende oplevelse. Dog mangler der lidt indhold, primært Alex Hunters' næste eventyr i The Journey.
Dog har spillet alle online-dele, FIFA Ultimate Team, ikoner og en komplet Career-del. Der findes ikke alle de nye mellemscener, og det blev forklaret ved Gamescom, at det skyldes at Switch-versionen ikke kører i Frostbite:
"Those are powered by Frostbite, so everything you see that contains scenes of people negotiating or interacting, those are all powered by Frostbite. There are several things in gameplay too, like the new animation system, again that is specific to Frostbite". forklarer producer Andrei Lazarescu til Gamereactor.
Heldigvis får Switch-ejere noget i bytte for de manglende mellemscener:
"So for example we have an exclusive mode in the game, called Local Seasons, where you have a console, I have a console, and even without an Internet connection, we're able to play each other on the go and we're able to do that 2v2 as well".
