    I am very upset because of buy this game. Game-play is fully awful. But totally outstanding **** is the menu in career mode. It absolutely inconvenient!! Who is done this part of the game? What are you thinking about before release something like this menu? Did you even play in career mode? Did you test it? It's super uncomfortable menu.

    The game has just one pros: the Journey. But this part is very short, keep in mind.
    So I'm completely NOT recommending waste your money, friends.    … Expand

    This FIFA game maybe does not look better that the previous (at least for the 15 hrs I played) but I would say it looks different at least.
    The Frostbite engine makes player moves look more close to real ones (but not perfect still).
    Graphic itself is very good. Unfortunately players do look like real ones only in major team (especially premier league).

    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..    … Expand

    Quest' anno ho voluto dare fiducia a fifa dopo l'anno passato senza giochi di calcio (poiché sia il gioco EA che la controparte nipponica mi sembravano pessimi) rimanendone comunque deluso.

Se da una parte il frosbite dona una veste grafica migliore rispetto all'ignite rimangono sempre le solite problematiche legate allo scripting. Si esatto ancora una volta il gioco è PESANTEMENTE scriptato ,soprattutto online, per non parlare della modalità UT che risulta ingiocabile, se siete giocatori di fifa da molti anni riuscirete a capire l'esito della partita dopo 5 minuti poichè tutto è giò deciso. Vi starete chiedendo il perchè del 6, bhe non prende insufficenza solo per la modalità storia IL VIAGGIO ma che non vale assolutamente 40€. Personealmete non credo che ci giocherò tantissimo se non per partire santuarie con amici e sinceramente recupererò il 18 a 10€ per vedere il continuo della campagna.… Expand

    This was a day one purchase for me, I still don't know why I jump straight in when it comes to FIFA games but it's been a trend for me over the years. 17 certainly looks nice with the frostbite engine, visually it's great, stadium and player details are quite amazing.

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.    … Expand

    This years FIFA 17 grants improvement to the previous one. Frostbite engine makes FIFA better than ever but doesnt sort out the main problems that it had in the past.

    I will tell at once I play only the career mode. The network modes in FIFA never concerned me. A game is excellent, progress after transition to Frostbyte 3 is felt. Graphics is just tremendous. In general the cursor has turned all gameplay of a game, it became live. But animation upon was repaired only in the spring of 2017. The only lack of a game is an optimization.

    Average FIFA game, which doesn't mean its not fun to play with friends. Just the changes are minimal.

    A good game but sometimes it crushes and hangs up. Career mode doesn't have the ask for budget feature anymore unfortunately.

    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.
