    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.

    Offline Career mode suffers from the same issues as previous versions; and nothing new added to warrant a full price purchase each and every year. There is issues with injuries; they are a lot more frequent now. Whilst the game can be entertaining, i think P.E.S is overall the better game these days.

    Another major problem is the lack of international teams, especially problematic

    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.

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

    The game passes incorrectly. Still waiting for good football game, lastone was FIFA 15. I do not reccomend to buy this game.

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!

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).

    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.

    Absolute $hit which feels nothing like a real football. Once again you barely can defend because this crap is only about attacking and mostly running like a f*** ostrich on the wings, no skills needed just luck in this crazy ping pong.

    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

    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.

    Scripting, momentum, scripting, momentum, scripting, momentum, 1000 times. This happens with a 1 gbps optical fiber broadband conncection. Worst FIfa ever. I have over 500 hours played only with fifa 17 and other few thousands with the older ones, so I know what I am talking about. This game is made only for money.

    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!!!

    If you want you play UT, forget about fifa 17 pc. Your money will be go to careless EA only...

    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.
