FIFA 18: 4 Ways It's Different On The Switch (And 1 Similarity)
4. No Journey On The Switch
Story mode 'The Journey' was an excellent feature in FIFA 17, following Alex Hunter's rise to stardom. And while fans will be happy to hear that the continuation of this story is in the Xbox/PS4/PC version of FIFA 18, it's not on the Switch. That comes back to the Frostbite Engine not being used again.
There's also a suggestion that the lack of 'The Journey' on the Switch comes down to EA trying to see if porting a fully-fledged port of FIFA will be profitable before adding all features. If sales do well for FIFA 18, there is a high chance that FIFA 19 will too, and will therefore be worth investing more time and resources into.
This makes sense, as when the Wii U port of FIFA of FIFA 13 and the later Wii port of FIFA 15 came out, they did not do very well (thus may be partially be EA's fault, as they only updated the visuals and player details for FIFA 15, instead of creating a new game).
People have their fingers cross around the world for The Journey to make an appearance in FIFA 19 for the Switch, and if sales do well, there's no reason it shouldn't.
