    Fifa 17 is a GOOD game whit great dribbling mecanics but still suffering of terrible shotting system and palyers faces that are far away from reality, but you can still have great fun in menager mod wich is the GOAT .

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

    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.

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

    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.

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.    … Expand

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 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.    … Expand

    (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.

    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:

    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

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!    … Expand

    + all around great presentation
    + 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.    … Expand

    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?

    This is by far the worst Fifa since. Gameplay looks shiny and beautiful, but when you get into it, you see ridiculous things happen. Two teammates crashes each other and fell down just before you pass one of them. Goalkeeper is shielded by one of your defenders sometimes and cannot move at all, so the opponent scores into empty goal.

You lose connection to FUT even if you have super speed internet, then you lose that match automatically and lose 1 match entry in the division. I experienced this many times. While I am winning 3-0, at 90+3 origin pops up a notification and BOM, your game goes Alt-Tab mode and you lose connection in Fut, lose the game. This happens almost everyday.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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 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.    … Expand

    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.
