Well this is a hard one! FIFA 2016 was the first time I got into FIFA and have not stopped yet, on PC FIFA 18 graphics are awesome. Fun factor wise, playing just by-myself VS another online player 1 vs 1 I do prefer FIFA 18 vs NHL 18. The pace of soccer is non stop with way more control over the tedious penalties of hockey. FIFA 17 and 18 have a story mode now that is pretty cool and adds to the fun factor. NHL does not have this in feature. If your non sure which game in spend $60 of your hard earned money on I would recommend getting FIFA 17 NHL 17 in the bargain bin. Also don't forget about youtube and twitch.tv where you can watch and check out both games! Have Fun in which ever game you choose!
I witnessed that hands down shortly after typing the previous reply. When sitting on the blue line on defense while in OT ( i always play defense) got a 2min penalty without touching a soul and the DELAYED PENALTY yellow notification did not even pop up, then after I got out of the box the game tossed me back in for another 10seconds.....crazy.....I saved videos of the above chaos and will be uploading.
Even though NHL is just a copy/paste job they somehow managed to fit more bugs into the mix - I've never played a Fifa game but suggest you get that instead
