    There are severe issues with the gameplay. It feels unresponsive, boring and every match feels like a real grind. Once again FIFA is unfinished and unbalanced on release.

    Even the Frostbite can't save this arcade, scripted ping-pong. Gameplay is horrible as always in FIFA.

    + Graphics, story Mode, licenses.
    - Awful gameplay (scripting, AI cheating, ball physics).

    My score: 0.3/10

    Another poor instalment, major servers issues, crashing out of games without the internet ever dropping out. Regardless of you dropping or the opponent, you will get a loss, whether you are 3-0 ahead or behind. Even get a loss for an opponent leaving before the game started. Defending is still sketchy, AI runs all over the place without warning. Passes have no accuracy to where you areAnother poor instalment, major servers issues, crashing out of games without the internet ever dropping out. Regardless of you dropping or the opponent, you will get a loss, whether you are 3-0 ahead or behind. Even get a loss for an opponent leaving before the game started. Defending is still sketchy, AI runs all over the place without warning. Passes have no accuracy to where you are actually trying to pass.

    Fully charged passes can go 80 yards and 2 yards without warning. Control for any player under 85 is abysmal, never knew half the Brazilian team have no first touch. PES is a better game for actually game play but lacks the licenses, however i would advise that and actually enjoy what you pay for

    Fortunately I didn't buy it like I said last year. I tried it for week, thanks to a friend; the gameplay is the same even with the new engine stutter micro freeze lag and so on. The game "script" is even worst. In off-line careers who cares about :
    •Domestic Success
    •Continental Success •Brand Exposure •Financial •Youth Development at least they could add an option to disable them.

    Don't waste Your money. This game is for cheaters and kids. EA is cheating the game results for selling more and more copies. Spending real money for buying card packs is absolutely ridicolous

Sidelines, Front of goals, etc... Stupid long passes and stupid high trought balls. Stupid centers. New penalties and free kick

    - Body play (covering ball by your body)

    There are still same old problems with game that havent been addressed for years.

    Another disaster from EA. PC servers are down and it is not possible to finish even a game mostly. So much latency and so many disconnection problem from your opponent. No fun.. Unfortunately PS4 servers are better than PC.

    To PC players!!!

When you and your online opponent control two out of 22 players (with the AI controlled shooting and passing) then the AI can really dictate how a game plays out... and it does.

    But, who is being retarded here? Why in earth did I expect a game named FIFA to be playing fair and without cheating?

    The game-play is the worst i have seen in years. The physics in fifa14 were way better then they are now and the dispossessing is has never been so bad up until now. I encourage EA to watch some football and get a feel of how the game should really look like. If you are going to ask 70$ from us "each" year, then please make some effort.

His squad links were full red. We are not playing a game. Game controlling our acts and letting us lose or win. Just like the single player campaign games. We are living a script. The other one is the servers. On FUT Champs its like blind fighting.The buttons you press works 10 seconds after you push. Literally. The other one is Security. They can fight against a piracy with a single code but they can't find a solution for keeping off the cheaters from online competitions? Btw it's been approx 6 months since game release. I can only just laugh to that. From the many many things i just can remember one more. Careless customer service from EA. I reported cheaters many times with screenshots. He used overall trainer that increase all players overall to 99. After then i added him to argue about cheating. That kiddo called me noob do you believe that? I was both cheated and insulted. Then i reported from everywhere. I made sure that he's gonna get some punishment. After i send EA to mail, they bot sends me a mail: " we take all violations seriously bla bla bla... oolalllalla f you customer look all those f's i can give to you..." I obviously completed the sentence with my own. Anyways after that reporting mail i was sure that EA gonna ban him and teach him not to cheat on online competitions. But do you know what happened? I saw that m*fuker again on pro seasons club encountering today. The reporting story i have been telling was 3 weeks ago! Long story short, they only want money money money. They don't give a f about your problems. EA probably getting some dirty profit from the cheating and coin farming on Ultimate. If anything about this would publish i wouldn't be surprised anyway. On pc, we are just adopted children to that filthy company. We are suffering from cheaters for months but no one bats an eye. But just 1 time they found a win glitch on consoles they loses their mind cancelled fifa champions competition etc etc. There's more to tell you why we giving low score for that buls- but i really couldn't remember everything anymore.Hope Konami take the Football game throne from these money monsters. Was saving money to buy this on November, bought it and i am saying this now: I, personally would never want to buy any EA product ever again.

    So Pc player, just because of that reasons: DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY THIS GAME JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY FOOTBALL GAME YOU CAN PLAY. GO TO THE PES. HOW BAD IT COULD BE FROM THIS TRASH?

    Le doy un 0, tiene que me guste el sistema de juveniles, poder crear tú propia historia y eso está muy bien, pero tiene fallos importantísimos:

    (Primero quiero aclarar que juego en leyenda, el último nivel de dificultad y que solo juego vs IA, ni sobres ni moñadas varias de esas)

    - La IA es altamanete tramposa, he vivido cosas como recibir goles desde fuera del área de un jugador que chuta estando de espaldas a portería, intentad eso en la vida real a ver que pasa.

    - Tú portero no para casi nada el de la IA, da igual que sea un portero de 3ª división, lo parará absolutamente todo.

    - El sistema del control del balón es nefasto, los jugadores necesitan controlar balones que les van al pie en 2,3 o más tiempos ridículo ni un jugador de liga regional necesita hacer semejantes aspavientos para controlar un balón al pie.

    - No sé que futbol ven los programadores de este juego pero dar al palo es algo muy común (en el juego, en la vida real no).

    - La IA de tú equipo tiene el CI de una piedra, en ataque según avanzas con el balón hay jugadores de tú equipo que salen disparados hacía atrás (es decir en dirección a tú portería, Cómo ????, que sentido tiene).

    - Sigueindo con la IA defensiva en tú equipo, no presiona, se queda mirando al rival que tiene el balón, aún qué esté justo delante, y hace cosas maravillosas que te hace gritar de frustración como en mitad de un ataque del equipo enemigo abrirse y dejar todo el hueco central de la cancha libre para que entre un rival solo.

    - Más de la IA de tú equipo, cubren a los rivales poniendose detrás de ellos, un jugador rival centra desde una banda, pues llega tú defensa y se coloca detrás de su delantero ¿Que ocurre a continuación ? ambos saltan y su delantero al estar delante remata solo a portería y GOL. Esto mismo lo hacen cuando les pasas el balón, se ponen a recular o a esperar a que el balón les llegue en vez de ir a buscarla, por lo que te la quitan (esto último no pasa siempre, pero sí la mayoría de las veces).

    - Pero para mi el fallo más garafal en cuanto a la jugabilidad es: no se puede DEFENDER, no hay un botón para apretar y que tú jugador defienda como tenían ya los juegos de futbol de hace ... De modo que la defensa consiste en acertar a poner tú jugador en la trayectoria de la carrera del jugador rival, o poner el autobús y rezar por qué el rival la pierda.

    - Todos los equipos rivales juegan igual, da lo mismo que juegues contra el Barsa o contra el cuatroamigos FC juegan exactamente igual, tiki taka todo el partido (sí sí el equipo 4amigos fue entrenado por Pep al parecer), si le ganas de varios goles balones arriba y a correr y cerca del final del partido te cambian a todos al ataque y presión intensa, absolutamente todos los partidos y todos los equipos juegan así.

    En resumen como juego de simulación futbolística le doy un -10/10, como juego de futbol arcade le doy un 0/10, es increíble, jugar al fifa 08, 09, 11 y ver que están mejor hechos que este, una absoluta vergüenza, además de tener en cuenta todo lo descrito por mi anteriormente.

    Como sigan así van a convertir su juego en una versión mala del FIFA STREET o algo peor.

    The whole game play is controlled by AI. If AI want to win, you will lose no matter how you are good at playing the FIFA game. All loose balls go to AI player, and AI easily score a 180° turning shot from the outside of penalty area. Your AI defender even make a way for opponent forward to score while you can't switch control on that AI defender for no reason for a moment. Your player make a mistake in simple pass during the game. These are what happen AI decide to win.

    What is worse is that your AI player's off-the-ball movement. It's really ****ty.. When you tackle and posses the ball, your AI player come close to you even at the moment to break the opponent's defense line. And when you cut inside from side line to penalty area, your AI player come and block your way. This is really fxxking crazy.

    I'm really wondering if developers even know about real football. I bet they don't know about football at all. They wouldn't make football game like this fxxking **** if they knew about it.

    Lastly, EA server is poor.. I enjoy playing FIFA17 with my friends in PRO CLUB, but it's really hard to play well due to the fxxking lag.. there's always lag in multi-play server. EA never fix the server problem. They just to put their all effort to make new player cards for Ultimate game. They are just crazy for money and don't care about customer.

В Ultimate Team играть не было смысла, поэтому бОльшую часть из этих 200 часов я играл в режим карьеры, в основном тренера. Тут то и все "прелести" этой игры - скриптованные трансферы (яркий пример - МЮ в первое же трансферное окно скупает всех топ-форвардов: Ляказетта, Обамеянга, Гризманна, Лукаку); нереалистичные симуляции матчей, кишащие травмами; странный календарь, когда за три дня два матча, а после этого следует абсолютно свободная неделя, на которую один из этих двух матчей можно было бы поставить; идиотское поведение игроков, когда они внезапно начинают "скучать по дому", переходя в итоге в совсем не домашний чемпионат. Поле же тоже кишит скриптами, которые видны до неприличия (не ходят пасы, чудесные отскоки прямо на соперника и т.д.); тупые вратари, имея рейтинг 85-90+ ведут себя и ошибаются, как 50-рейтинговые; идиотские судьи, порой принимающие ну совсем нелогичные решения; также иногда вместо отбора (нажимается именно кнопка отбора мяча) игрок атакует соперника, получая жёлтую, которая может стать и второй. По сути интерфейс не меняется со времён FIFA 14, с каждой частью лишь получая редизайн в соответствие с цветами новой части. Переход на движок Frostbite немного освежил графику игры, но убил моддинг. Теперь вы не сможете пропатчить вашу игру, чтобы хоть как-то исправить и без того хромой режим карьеры, и это однозначно минус. Эта игра явно не стоит двух тысяч рублей, которые я отдал за предзаказ. Не рекомендую покупать её для режима карьеры. Вы можете получить удовольствие от Ultimate Team, но только на консолях. У меня всё. Expand

    + gameplay is very good for the most part, unless you play against the computer

    That's all great, but FIFA 17 has problems that can take away all and any fun.

    The worst thing about FIFA 17 are the connection problems and lag. Multiplayer is peer to peer. That means no server. If one player has a bad connection, both players get lag and it's actually an advantage for the player who is used to it. The game will try to compensate lag by going to slow motion. I've had 12 minute games that lasted over half an hour because of this...
    It's particularly bad in Europe, as many parts of east and southern Europe have bad internet.
    Some players also cheat by making the game lag when you're in the attack, which is very easy to do with peer to peer systems. It's also possible to cause a disconnect to the opposing player to automatically win the game.
    There's absolutely no place for peer to peer connections in competitive game modes. Stop being cheap **** and get us some servers for online play, EA. It adds some latency in the worst case, but a more reliable connection with a bit more latency is much better than the abhorrent lag we now have in many games.
    When a player has a bad connection, it should never affect other players.

    Gameplay problems:
    - the AI cheats. The player ratings are modified during the game depending on the current score. Incredibly cheap way to make the games close.
    - playing against the AI feels like a grind
    - there are many important tricks you need to know to play on a high level, but the game doesn't tell you about them
    - doesn't feel as fluid and dynamic as PES
    - pass assist doesn't work. passes to wide open players still fail if you miss by a millimeter.
    - passes often get interrupted, because the receiving players position themselves in a way that they can't possibly reach the ball. You play a straight pass and while it's on the way they run past the defender, so the defender doesn't even need to move to interrupt the pass.
    - off-the-ball movement is generally poor. Wingers don't make a run even though the field is wide open, center backs run to the wings for no reason etc.
    - players don't go for open balls they could easily reach
    - your own players regularly collide
    - too many injuries. Even at 100 fitness there are sometimes two or more injuries per match. i've had all three of my attackers injured in one match.
    - calling of fouls is very inconsistent. Sometimes you injure a player without touching the ball and no foul is called. Other times you barely touch them and it's a foul.
    - players' fatigue carries over into the next game too much

    Online problems:
    - no cross play

    AI problems:
    - games against the computer can feel kinda repetitive
    - the AI could sometimes be better with positioning and movement

    Other problems:
    - FUT is optimized for players who pay money for packs. people pay 50-60$ for a yearly revision, not even a full game, and then they're also ripped off with ingame purchases.
    - practice arena uses a different camera than games and it's not possible to change it
    - no good place for bug reports and support
    - worst penalty system in any football game ever. You have to aim manually, can't see where the shot goes and every player shoots differently.

    As the game has become more complex, it has also become very inaccessible for casual players. They really need to make sure players know about the most important moves or playing on high difficulties becomes very frustrating. The ingame tutorials are not a good way to do that.

    PES is better than FIFA 17 in every single regard as far as gameplay is concerned. It's really as bad as the ratings here suggest.

    The game itself is great. FIFA 17 being my first FIFA since FIFA 13, and my first one on PC, I was thoroughly surprised with how much the game has changed and how much the graphics have improved. Gameplay mechanics certainly play out much differently than I remember, but overall, I enjoy the fresh start.

    So why is my score so low? One reason only: the game crashes consistently for no

Gameplay mechanics certainly play out much differently than I remember, but overall, I enjoy the fresh start.

    So why is my score so low? One reason only: the game crashes consistently for no reason whatsoever, without warning. I've lost count of how many times I've done so well in an online match, only for the application to sporadically close itself without indication or reasoning for doing so. This alone is so frustrating that the game in which I would have otherwise enjoyed, has since become one of the worst video games I've ever played.

    I've tried playing on both minimal and maximum settings, but the game still crashes without regard for my computer's specs. My computer is running much higher than the game's recommended settings, but even so, I've run into countless issues.

    Had this game been priced more appropriately for its unfinished nature, perhaps I would have reviewed it with a higher score, but until the endless bugs and issues are fixed, this game is not nearly worth its AAA price tag (59.99 USD).

    Unfortunately players do look like real ones only in major team (especially premier league).
    The AI can be strange somethimes but it's fully customizable (like misses ratio, fouls ratio, goalkeeper ability) by option so you can tailor your experience if you find something is not working properly..
    What I feel it's while you mastering the game you will score pretty much the same kind of goals plenty of times.. maybe too many, you just hit the bar and you luckily have one of your that tap in into the net..on 12 goals i probably did 8 like this... even online, that's boring somethimes and dont feel like a real match.
    Online mode is certainly rich, there's the football club, there's online season, online coop seasons, tournaments. I'm not much into online still but I fill like there's plenty to do.
    "The Journey" mode is something new too but we're probably not this playing much (it's just a short story mode),
    So my initial review (might update it later) it's overall good 7/10 what is good and what not?:

    + Rich Online (but nothing different than previous fifa)
    + Frostbite engine that is certainly an upgrade in my opinion
    + A lot of teams, as usual.
    + Customizable AI
    - Take patience to master and can be boring at the beginning (especially if you're like me and play with weak teams ;)
    - Unrealistic transfers, AI just buy everything they can afford.
    - Not much accurate players face except for the main ones. Like 50 players do look like real, 2000 dont.
    - Very, very stupid soundtrack, I remember back in 00s and 90s, soundtracks were awesome... but this.. jeez..

The gameplay had an overhaul and I am still adapting to that but so far so good, audio is fine, no big diffferences there from previous FIFA offerings, perhaps a few bits of dialogue added, nothing to write home about really.
    I was pumped to try the journey so lept straight into that. SPOILER ALERT: I was very dismayed to find that the Journey pretty much ends slap bang right at the end of the first season, it's far too short and more often than not felt very devoid of personality. The press conferences Alex Hunter gives are so horribly voice acted that I cringe every time he chuckles to himself after a response to the interviewer, you watch a Premier League post match program and no player talks like that. So the Journey was pretty much a let down but what about the other career modes? Nothing new to report really, the same old, player or manager career with a few little extra objectives and features thrown in but nothing that makes it more immersive.
    So now that I have covered the Journey and the other single players modes I would normally look at the multiplayer aspect of the game. In truth I haven't, I have no interest in wasting my time with Ultimate Team and I haven't played Fifa competitively for years based on the fact that more ofthen than not you will end up playing some 14 year old chav hardman wannabe talking like some gangster rapper telling you how much they lust after your mother, throw insults when losing or rage quit as soon as they start taking a kicking, not for me, its infuriating when I take my thrashings like a gentleman and don't back out yet so many others will back out as soon as they lose an early goal. There is probably nothing at all wrong with multiplayer, it's probably very good but I just don't have the interest in playing it competitively so my review is based on the game minus the multiplayer and FUT aspect.

    Overall I think it's the best looking Fifa title, I think it's refreshing to finally see EA release a Fifa that doesn't feel like last years game with a reskin of latest players and teams. Although I acknowledge they have made an effort with the engine both graphically and functionally I do feel that corners have been cut. I began a season with man City and as usual with fifa games I go into match to see the player faces up close, I wasn't impressed one bit. The face scans are exactly the same as the last incarnations. Kolarov looks like he's back in his early 20's, Zabaleta too, no new scans of any kind apart from Kelechi Iheanacho. Nolito and Leroy Sane don't have scans and look absolutely nothing like their real life counterparts. It's not just City, most teams will have the same. When EA invest so much into realism with licenses etc I'd expect a little more in return than the face scans of the previous 2-3 titles, it's lazy. What makes it worse is that as of now there seems to be no way of modding it and modders are finding the frostbite engine is not mod friendly at all.

    All in all, I find this FIFA to be the same old which is weird considering the host of changes this title has. I just don't think £40 a year on footy games is equitable. This Fifa may just have done enough to deserve it but next year it will be a simple reskin and UI update which should not be classed as a full game in my opinion. I'm just quite underwhelmed by how the host of changes have never really made this any more enjoyable than any other outing of the series, above average in my opinion but only just.

    Well, it is still a very good and entertaining game, however there are many shortcomings like:
    - The new mode is horribly scripted. It doesn't matter whether I shoot 5 goals in 10 minutes of play, I still get sent down to a lower league because script says so. It matters more how I perform on training than the fact that I shoot 5 goals in every match. That's not realistic at all.

    - The changes over last fifa are really minor (it's a step in good direction though)

    - There is an annoying bug that didn't happen ever before - regarding own goals. My players shoot goals and AI says this was my opponent's own goal while the ball was nowhere near them. This happens rarely but still it never happened before.

    Fifa 17 is an amazing football game and a solid evolution from Fifa 16, which was already great, due to three main reasons:

    1 - PC optimization

    Finally, we get 21:9 aspect ratio and decent frame rate suitable for PC gaming.
    This is a major improvement from FIFA 16 which didn't even have support for 21:9 aspect ratio and is the main reason for the high score I am giving.

    2- The Journey

    The Journey isn't perfect, but it is fun and a nice idea to improve upon on the future. It is good to see Fifa finally giving some love to single player fans and not 100% focusing on ultimate team.

    3- Career mode

    Career mode has been substantially improved with new objectives but mainly it just feels better due to the better AI developed. However, the AI got easier to beat on Legendary, which is a problem that should be addressed in FIFA 18.

    Nonetheless, the game still has a great margin to improve:

    1- Lack of real faces

    The game needs more real faces. Even though the Premier League is full of real faces and the biggest European teams too, other leagues, such as the Portuguese league has close to none. This makes it frustrating to play on these leagues and, for people like me which only like to play with players with real faces, makes it annoying and difficult to buy players that are not widely known.

    2- Lack of commentary names
    3- AI is too easy
    4- Gameplay isn’t focused enough on heading.
    At least from my perspective, not even 5% of the goals scored come from headings, which is unreal.
    5- Allow patches
    Due to frostbite engine, which is good because it allowed 21:9 aspect ratio and unlocked frame rate, it seems no one is being able to create real faces for the players. In FIFA 16 patching allowed me to have lots of real faces.

    I mainly play Fifa 17 because of the new Story Mode. Sadly it is not like NBA 2K integrated into the campaign but a separate mode where you play Alex Hunter.

But after a few matches, the story sequences get less and less and you only play the normal FIFA match one after another quite Similiar to NBA 2K17, but with almost none customization option. Thus I lost interest in Alex carrier. Still, I would give the new Story mode a 5/10 rating.
    Besides the new Story mode, FIFA is now made with the Frostbite Engine from Dice. It is made for PC Gaming, so you would expect an unoptimized game like FIFA 17 with that engine. As it was made for Ego-Shooter, I guess there lies the issue. It is just not made for fast paced physical calculations and a crowded stadium. My frame rate is constantly around 60 fps, still, there are a lot of micro stutters. This makes the game almost unplayable. Yes, FIFA 17 looks gorgeous, but the physic is still ridiculous and the gameplay feels like you have to hold a piece of jelly with your bare hands. Very strange and unresponsive with a huge input lag. The referees are still very bad. Almost every tackle is now a yellow card, no red cards at all. If the PC is running from the front to the back 90min straight, you can't expect them to get tired. While your team is running on their last breath, the PC team has still almost full stamina. I got the feeling, that at the upper difficulty levels, the accuracy of tackles, the pressure by this always sprinting towards your player (everywhere) and the ability to do that with two or more players wherever you are, is the difficulty. If you play fast enough, it is very silly and easy to overcome because this opens the PC defence up a lot. You can just play through the middle almost into the goal. Don't try to go over the sides, because more often than not, your teammates will just stop running or expecting some magical passes while standing behind enemy players. Also, your defence yourself is absolutely stupid. No use to call a second player to help you, he will just run after the enemy instead of pressuring him. If the goes into the 2m in front the goal line, your own players will almost never defend there. They will you stand still and look confused.
    Over the bad team players and the stupid defensive KI of both sides, I could go on and on...
    I would rate the graphics 9/10, gameplay and physics 2/10 and KI 1/10.
    Additionally, EA, as always, advertisers everywhere in the game. For their own products and for football related real brands.
    Thus I come to a rating of 2/10. I do not recommend it to buy it to everyone. It is a bad game and as soon as you are used to it, it loses its charms and you will see all the faults and get annoyed and frustrated by it. DO NOT BUY!

    Another major problem is the lack of international teams, especially problematic in Career mode when you think you have made a good enough pro player and never get called up, only to realize that the international team of your nationality does not EXIST, and a simple 'change nationality' is/has never been included.

    Game difficulty is unbalanced, AI tends to cheat along with occasional glitches with ball physics although that can make for some funny replays. Online FUT mode is useless as like with everything EA does these days, it is pay to win so avoid that mess.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first FIFA game that I pre-ordered before it came out because I had high expectations. Gaming experience was fun at the beginning, especially in exhibition matches. After 150 hours of playing manager mode, I found this game was not as good as I expected - just like other FIFA games, it became boring, numbing, and a little bit of annoying. This review mainly focuses on manager mode.
    +Improved graphics, thanks to Frostbite engine
    +The Journey added new features to career mode
    +Through balls were amazing, at least in exhibition matches they were amazing
    +Changes in taking set-pieces (especially free-kicks)
    -Professional difficulty. Physical contacts were abused, which made tackles and dribbles very hard to perform, while the CPU opponent could predict almost every move I do and took the ball away from me or kept procession of the ball. To be honest my FIFA skills is not good at all, but I was still able to win CPU opponents at semi-pro difficulty by 3 goals or more. The gap between semi-pro and pro is so big that even world-class was somehow easier and more realistic than pro.
    -Player reactions. Sometimes players just can't react properly to the ball, like they would do nothing about the ball in front of them which was so easy to tackle. I don't know if this is EA's definition about football players, but I won't react this way when I am playing football.
    -Fake Brazilian league
    -Victor Wanyama. This one is personal, since EA enhanced the importance of physical contact, players like him literally dominated the game. It was so hard to avoid tackles from this guy, or stop him while he's charging forward.
    -Contract issues in manager mode appeared too frequently. There was always a player who refused to renew the contract every season.
    -Player development is a good feature in manager mode, which is why I enjoy FIFA 16. But again, player developments were restricted by their potential stats which made it impossible to improve after reaching the potential. I would like to see this feature being more flexible, so more uncertainty can be added in manager mode.

    Horrible Horrible game it's a mix of dog **** horse **** and pig **** which makes it supreme **** **** not a shed of realism in this game the passing feels terribly awful sliding tackles too (Fifa 2003 had better sliding tackles than this game ffs) defending algorithm is pretty much nonsense (or should i say non-existent) don't even want to talk about the ball physics and physical contactHorrible Horrible game it's a mix of dog **** horse **** and pig **** which makes it supreme **** **** not a shed of realism in this game the passing feels terribly awful sliding tackles too (Fifa 2003 had better sliding tackles than this game ffs) defending algorithm is pretty much nonsense (or should i say non-existent) don't even want to talk about the ball physics and physical contact (believe me fifa 2011 did a better job on those 2 areas) EA really did surprise me tho cuz i never thought for a bit that there could ever be a ****tier footy game than Pes 2014 well they changed my mind Fifa is making more sales now for sure but in 4 years time Konami will have no competition at all they already butchered EA in terms of gameplay if they fill the license gap sometime in the future Fifa will have no chance Expand

    +Fut Champions - The momentum still ruins the game. Sometimes you are just unable to score a Goal. You hit the crossbar 5 times and your Players with 90 Shooting cant even score from 2m. It also often happens that your 85 rated Team forgets how to pass. Playing online is sometimes just luck you don´t need skill just run through the defense. - still 45/90 minute

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bad penalty and corner system. Physically strong defenders. Example, When i play with Coutinho defenders just pushed him away from the ball. The game decides when you win and when you lose.
    The game passes incorrectly. Still waiting for good football game, lastone was FIFA 15. I do not reccomend to buy this game.

    Jetzt ist es wohl so weit, dass das Spiel nicht mal mehr seine 2 Punkte wert ist. Ich habe mich während der nun ca. 20 Stunden Spielzeit derart aufgeregt, dass ich mir Kiefer, Rücken, rechte Schulter und Nacken verspannt habe. Das hat nun wirklich noch kein Spiel geschafft. Selbst die KI im TRAINING betrügt schon, wo sie kann.

    Beispiele gibts da genügend von einem 2v2 bei dem die KI oft
    Jetzt ist es wohl so weit, dass das Spiel nicht mal mehr seine 2 Punkte wert ist. Ich habe mich während der nun ca. 20 Stunden Spielzeit derart aufgeregt, dass ich mir Kiefer, Rücken, rechte Schulter und Nacken verspannt habe. Das hat nun wirklich noch kein Spiel geschafft. Selbst die KI im TRAINING betrügt schon, wo sie kann.

    Beispiele gibts da genügend von einem 2v2 bei dem die KI oft sofort Kullerbällchen aufs Tor gehen lässt damit man auch ja keine Punkte bekommt. Oder im Gold Dribbling kann es konsequenterweise vorkommen, dass immer die beiden Gegner im Duett in dich reingrätschen. Oder vielleicht Steilpässe, bei denen die Anspielpartner dauernd hinter dem Gegner laufen und auch nicht gewillt sind schneller zu gehen. Oder Pässe, die in eine andere Richtung gehen, als die in die du drückst. Oder Schüsse, die Konsequent ganz knapp am Pfosten vorbei gehen, bzw. 4-5 Alutreffer pro Partie. Treffer fühlen sich generell nicht wertig an (weder die Eigenen, noch die Teamtreffer, noch die Gegentreffer) man hat nur immer irgendwie das Gefühl: Ah das Spiel hat gemeint es wurde wieder mal Zeit... Oder Oder Oder Oder ODER ODER ODER

    Ich könnte kotzen, wenn ich nur an dieses Stück Sch.... Software denke. Ich könnte mich Ohrfeigen, dass ich mir auch schon FiFa 18 gekauft habe, auch wenns nur ca 15 Euro gekostet hat. Beide liegen mittlerweile auf der Externen also dem berüchtigten „vielleicht Stapel“. Das wars für mich erst mal mit der Geldgabe an EA. Die haben ohnehin schon zu viele gute Entwickler zu Grabe getragen und ich genieße nun vielleicht mal ein paar alte Titel von Bioware und hoffe, dass EA die Jungs nicht auch noch zerstört....

    Und dann noch eine Sache. Nicht das es mich noch groß stören würde, aber die Sprecher haben eine neue Stufe von d.u.m.m. erreicht. Level Amateur. Sieg 12:0 Ich 7 Tore+3 Vorlagen Sylvester 3 Tore 0 Vorlagen (die letzten 3 da gings um nix mehr).... ratet mal, wer von den Kommentatoren als Mann des Matches geprießen wird? Wenigstens das Spieler des Tages System hat noch richtig funktioniert (nicht das ich es Sylvestr nicht gönnen würde aber... ach kommt!)
    __________________________________
    Zunächst- ich spiele das Spiel erst jetzt, da mir EA Spiele (bis auf ganz wenige Ausnahmen) höchsten 20 Euro wert sind, wobei ich mir selbst dann oft beschhhhhhh...eiden vorkomme. Hier nun, wenn auch verspätet meine Bewertung.

    Wichtiger Hinweis vorneweg: Vorsicht bei den Spieleinstellungen. Ganz nach dem Motto weniger ist mehr, können niedrigere Prozentzahlen positiv für dich sein. Also: Immer genau den Text dazu lesen!

    Das Spiel ist einfach nur der letzte Schrott- schon ab Halbprofi fängt das Spiel massiv zu cheaten an.

    Das gegnerische Team haut gleich mehrere deiner Spieler zu Krüppeln und bekommt nicht einmal eine Karte (wobei ohnehin nur knapp 20% ihrer Fouls überhaupt gepfiffen werden)

    Das gegnerische Team kann einfach Schüsse oder Kopfbälle auf die Mitte deines Tores machen und der Ball ist automatisch drin. Auf der anderen Seite kann es passieren, dass alle deine Schüsse vorbeigehen, oder ans Alu klatschen, oder gehalten werden.

    Selbst wenn man seine (positiven) Werte alle auf 67% setzt und die Gegner auf 50% belässt, haben diese immer noch: eine höhere Schusskraft, mehr Ausdauer, mehr maximales Tempo und so weiter.

    Des Weiteren beginnt das Spiel noch stärker zu cheaten, sobald du in Führung gehst.

    Es gibt- zumindest im Deutschen- immer nur das Selbe Kommentatorenduo (was schon extrem langweilig ist), welche auch noch in vielen Fällen absoluten Unsinn erzählen. Zum Beispiel faseln die im Fieberwahn irgendwas von Fair gespielt wenn ein Gegner meinen Verteidiger krankenhausreif schlägt ...... GG

    Die Gegner müssen nur in einen hineinlaufen und bekommen schon einen Freistoß, ohne das man etwas macht.

    Ständig springt deinen Spielern der Ball vom Fuß

    Bei Doppelpässen rücken 2 Spieler immer näher zusammen und laufen sich nicht frei (wo soll da der Sinn sein?)

    Selbst NOTBREMSEN der Gegner werden nicht geahndet...

    Als Rechtsfuß schießt man extrem oft mit links.

    Die Steuerung ist vor allem am PC ohne Controller der letzte Schrott.

    Animationen egal welche (Spielerbewegung, Gesichter, Fans) sind richtig schlecht- da gibt es viel besseres von der Frostbite Engine

    Es gilt als schlechter Schussversuch, wenn ein Verteidiger den Ball gerade noch mit einer Grätsche abfälscht!

    Eigentlich kann ich die Liste noch ewig fortführen ... das Spiel ist einfach nur Mist und verdient niemals mehr als die 2 Punkte.

    Mit der Keyboard Steuerung und der massiven Cheaterei ist effektiv nicht viel zu machen und das schon auf Halbproft- daher versuche ich die Kampagne einfach mal auf Amateuer und wenn sie da viel zu leicht ist.

    Absolutely dramatic game. First with Frostbite and it is not so good. The biggest handicap in history. Only Alex Hunter rescues this game.

    FIFA 17 delivers a nice touch with the new single-player mode “The Journey”. The switch to the Frostbite engine makes the game the most complete and beautiful sports-sim in the PC platform at the moment. However, we do feel EA Sports missed a few chances solving some persistent buggy behaviors (eg. player collisions).

    Because of the story mode, sometimes it feels like FIFA 17 is not a football sim, but a football-themed RPG: there’s family drama, conflict with a friend, press conferences, building rapport with teammates, and many other things. And it’s the story mode that kept us playing FIFA, even though Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is arguably better at simulating football match itself. [Issue#213, p.46]

    An epic ode to the joy of football, but with room remaining for improvement.
