    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.    … Expand

    This Fifa is very good. A lot of players, licences. Graphic is super. Carreer mode is the best ever. I don't understand the low score. Only on pc the users are so with fifa 17.

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

    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.    … Expand

    Best football game for me. I was a PES fan but since last year I change my opinion.
    I like everything! The graphics, the sound. I prefer different menus with other options, but is ok

    Very good improvement, new corner taking takes getting used to, smooth gameplay, small glitches occur rarely but its no big deal. Been playing Fifa since 97, Ive witnessed the ups and downs and the "war" between PES. Very impressive how they are evolving it and been holding it without irritations (besides missed free kicks in arena, hehe) for the last few years.

    I have played many games in the FIFA series and I can say with confidence that FIFA 17 is the best. I think the idea with Alex Hunter is really good. Played with high spirits.

    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.
