I bought this because I actually enjoy playing Kickoff with my son while we watch an actual football game on TV. I mostly play it in Seasons mode because I have no time for Ultimate Team.
New in this years edition?
The Grounds. TLDR, it's a waste of time and terrible, at least based on the forced preview of it you have to go through in the intro (thankfully now skippable unlike in the beta).
The gameplay itself is much the same as the previous editions (par for the course), but there are a few additions. Players are harder to get off the ball when dribbling, and defending is slightly harder. It's change, and it adds something, but there's not much difference.
Graphically it looks like it's the same as EAFC26, but that's also par for the course.
At this point, while I get that EA need the money from new releases and from ultimate team, in terms of the actual game I think they need to move to a new development model. Year one release a game, year 2 DLC for that game to update squads and such, year three release a game. It might serve their users better even if it doesn't help the bank balance. It also might give the dev team some breathing room to be genuinely innovative, rather than colouring around the edges.
