    Do not bother with this game. My last and only review here review was about Fifa 15. What has changed?A lot, but for the worse. The game is broken and if i lived somewhere in USA i would file a lawsuit against EA for lost nerves. The gameplay is as abysmal as it gets - players do not defend, miss wide open shots and etc. But the most disgusting feature of them all is the Ultimate Team. IDo not bother with this game. My last and only review here review was about Fifa 15. What has changed?A lot, but for the worse. The game is broken and if i lived somewhere in USA i would file a lawsuit against EA for lost nerves. The gameplay is as abysmal as it gets - players do not defend, miss wide open shots and etc. But the most disgusting feature of them all is the Ultimate Team. I have easily cruised past few divisions with a mediocre team, but then it all started to change. I have purchase very good players such as Benzema and started losing by 3-4 goals with chemistry being 100. So my point here is, the UT is flooded with scripting so that when you do well, you get penalised so you would buy the coins for better players. Fanboys would neglect it but i am a casual player - why would i spend money on a game i have already paid for. So here you have it - the developer is already cheating on us players. But apart from that, he gameplay is as bad as it can be, the defenders crash into each other, you cant make 3 straight successful passes. I have played FIFA games since 2000 and they were good up until 2008-09, after that it got worse. DO NOT BUY, consider yourself warned. Expand

    I can honestly say ive never played a more broken game in my life. ever.
    Its unplayable.
    I actually had to triple check to see if i had missed a patch or something. Where to start.... FUT has terrible lag (that happens WAY too often), that can delay players movements so badly that it can cause your GK to score a home goal. and im not alone on this, it seems to be quite an issue

    Where to start....
    FUT has terrible lag (that happens WAY too often), that can delay players movements so badly that it can cause your GK to score a home goal. and im not alone on this, it seems to be quite an issue judging by many online comments.

    The scripting (in offline in particular) is unbearable and has become ridiculous and literally predictable. You can go from defeating a legendary 4 star team 2-0, to losing an infuriating game against professional 2 star team 3-0 (usually in a defining game).

    When the momentum goes against you its like your trying to steer a tanker through quick sand, whilst the AI or your opponent seem to run and turn seamlessly, and if by pure fluky chance you do get a break, the AI will catch up to your 90+ pace player and just as youre about to shoot it will do the most amazing tackle from behind that not only stops your shot and potential goal, and not only trips your player to the ground (with out getting a red card)...but also INJURES YOUR PLAYER! And this sort of thing happens *all-the-time*

    The scripting in FUT can also be annoying especially when at the end of the game your stats tell a very different story to the score (13 shots, 11 on target vs 2 shots 1 on target...score: 0-1). This happens WAY too often.

    One of my personal pet hates is the "change player" button issue, where it wont give you the correct player until its too late (opponent makes a run, you hit the change player button and it keeps clicking on to a CM behind your opponent rather than the CB in front of your opponent. THIS is the worst, and is just another clear sign of a broken game.

    This game is infuriating, not fun and judging by the hundreds if not thousands of comments and videos of enraged FIFA 17 players (some people posting video of themselves breaking the disk) this game is not worth one red cent of your money, nor one iota of your time.

    Dont do it. I wish I hadnt.

    Cons:

    Horrible downgrades in CPU AI on defense.
    Inability to call second defender to tackle combined with the changes to shielding the ball, mean it's impossible to win possession off someone unless they make a poor pass.

    Still the same feeling of RNG when it comes to shots, headers (particularly corners) and through balls.

    Seems to be greater delay, also some of the new animations are horribly implemented, e.g. on crosses, a player without any time or space will stop go back 3 steps and try to take it as a spot kick.

    Online is a mess. No ability to see ping of opponents or to filter opponents based on connection.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is so poorly programmed, it should be banned from stores. So many things not working correctly, every game mode plays different in some way, bugs as hell. A few examples, sometimes the ball is in the air for about 5 seconds, but you don´t get a play to do a header, you check the controls, "change player- mid air"...but doesn´t work. The Momentum is a joke, and EA says there is no momentum, which now has been prooven. The physics are bad, we had 2006 better pyhsics simulator as fifa. And every time i saw the "dab" in fifa, i think it´s just one huge joke. Graphics are bad, Menus are all different, in this menu you need this button, in the next one for the some function another one....Arenas, fans look like PS2, all wearing the same jersey and doing the same moves...hilarious. Some player look "realistic" ok...but the overall graphics....bad. Even other EA sports games have better graphics...referee is a joke, no good AI at all. Neither do your teammates. You attack, opponent takes ball away and your midfielder rushing 2 steps next to the opposing player right into the box, expecting a pass or crossing :D hilarious. This "game" is pure slapstick and shouldnt be taken serious at all. Yes i play Fifa for years, also this one. It´s horrible. Homefront 2 is a technical revolution compared to it. Expand

    The Journey is a good addition, so are the improved training and the use of Frostbite engine, but before adding any new feature, EA should prioritize fixing the many defects this series has been carrying across each version, mainly its general unresponsiveness and abuse of scripted events.

    Das Spiel variiert von der Stärke der Torhüter es ist oft der Fall, dass zum Beispiel Neuer schlechter ist als Navas
    Den Spieler wird zu oft durch die Beine gespielt und der Körpereinsatz ist zu stark da die Spieler sehr weit weggedrückt werden und dies sehr oft nicht als Foul gilt

    In FIFA 16, I thought to myself, "This gameplay is pretty bad, but it can go nowhere but up." FIFA 17 proved me wrong. The same poor passing mechanics exist from 16. The offense is in slow motion compared to the defense. Four out of every five goals seem to be a fluke play, yet well-crafted chances are often tapped straight into the keeper's arms.

They have also added the managers which is a little change but very effective. They have also added a new game mode called ‘my jorney’ it’s a bit like a campaign mode which they never had. You have to be a boy called hunter. You start when he was a boy and work your way up to the top teams, you have to fight for your place in the team which is very exciting. They have added extreme detail in this as you can even see the players get changed in the changing rooms to flying in a aeroplane to different countries to vs different teams. Overall I think it’s the best fifa ever made with this new game mode its makes it 100 times better. The enegine they used was great, the graphics has changed and they have also added new celebrations. If they keep using the engine they have im sure nothing can go wrong. On the other hand ultimate team is very good they player’s ratings are realistic and the cost of players are very good. Expand

    I have played almost every FIFA game since the very first one. FIFA 16 I skipped because the demo played so badly, but I picked up FIFA17 mostly because of 'The Journey' and promised improvements to career mode. I was pretty disappointed on both fronts.

    'The Journey' is stolen from the 2KSports NBA franchise, but executed much more poorly. My main complaints were that the gameplay in this mode is just awful, with the AI trying so hard to get you the ball all the time that almost every game ends up 0-0, and players miss open goals if you didn't provide the ball for them, but can score much harder goals if you do. If you're an experienced player you'll just be frustrated with how poor the AI is, and if you're a newbie you'll probably just be confused why it plays nothing like real football. I was also disappointed that 'The Journey' ends after only a season, with nothing to do other than pick up an FUT card for your player (useless for me as I don't play FUT).

    The career mode is likewise disappointing. EA Sports tried to add some extra depth with seasonal career objectives, but these are (like the season goals from previous games) poorly aligned with your club's status or previous performance. Do well one season, and the next season (without your budget increasing) you'll be expected to win everything, oh and also stop your player wages increasing. The youth player goals (e.g. get 5 players to improve by 10 points in a year) are particularly frustrating - you spend the whole season training just those players to improve their stats, then next year those players get nothing while you do it all over again with new players. I felt like I spent too much of my time training players, scouting players and desperately trying to sell players and not enough time actually playing. Taking corners and free kicks (unless you're shooting) I find very confusing, there are so many controls that don't seem to do much.

    On the positive side, I do like the preseason tournaments, and I have felt that the free kick taking is more balanced this year than any previous FIFA game I've played.

    In terms of the gameplay in game, I've found the controls to be slightly sluggish, but also confusing in this game too. Previously controls were set up so something like a quick feint or turn was easy, but these are now much more difficult to pull off, as a result, embarassing dribbling errors happen all the time. My brother and I had a long discussion about how awful the penalties are: any penalty system where you can easily send the ball off at 90 degrees from the player is poorly designed. The whole idea of penalties is that they are scored more often than not.

    I struggled to learn FIFA15, but it was fairly enjoyable once I mastered it. FIFA17 though, I played one season of 'The Journey' and one season in career mode, and I'm done. Perhaps FIFA will return to being a fun game eventually, but not this year.

    Here is how I rate the features indiviually out of 10

    Attacking : 610 when it comes to build up and shots. Ive put together some really nice strings of passes. The pace is more realistic. Problem is how easily opponents tend to dispossess you with one tackle and how often teams just park the bus. Defending : 4/10 You can win the ball through interceptions and occasional slide

    Attacking : 610 when it comes to build up and shots. Ive put together some really nice strings of passes. The pace is more realistic. Problem is how easily opponents tend to dispossess you with one tackle and how often teams just park the bus.

    Defending : 4/10 You can win the ball through interceptions and occasional slide tackles, but thats it. Defenders are all over the place. Slide tackles dont work, and if they do, its most probably a foul and a booking. Only way to win a tackle is a standing tackle near the throw in line where it just goes out for a throw for the opponent. Overall, its just really bad.

    Goalkeeping : 3/10 The AI keeper seems to always be on form, and always makes ridiculous save after save. Not realistic at all. Your keeper on the other hand, either plays really well, or is asleep. No in between. Its been this way for the past few games now.

    Referees : 1/10 Worst referees ever in FIFA history. They foul and book perfect tackles and let the bad ones go. Always too quick to book players, never book them when they have to. Overall, they are horrendous.

    My Career Mode - Manager : 6/10 Pretty much the same thing except with objectives added. Still no real financial control. Options as to what you can do are very limited, and it can get boring really quickly.

    My Career Mode - Player : 4/10 Even less options than manager mode. Also, players always get subbed off regardless of position, stamina, form or performance in the match. Fans have been wanting that to change for years, EA still not bothered. Can never seem to stick to the mode for too long because of this.

    My Journey : 6/10 One of the better things about the game. Only issue is how it tends to not make sense. You could be in great form, banging them in, have a better return than your rival, and STILL you will get sent on loan. And the loan period is pointless as it achieves literally nothing and just drags on with no story. More content and more things to do would be nice. Also, there needs to be an option to customise how you want your player to look like.

    Overall, just two good things about this game, the attack and My Journey which was a good change from regular FIFA games. But everything else is either the same, or worst than last year. The scripting handicaps you, most goals come at 45th or the 90th minute mark. You could have 15 shots on target, wont matter cause more often than not, AI goalies are unbeatable and AI scores with their first shot after being dominated for 90% of the game. This is overall just the same game with a few add ons. Many bugs and glitches. Once again, this is classic EA, not bothering with what their customers say.

    I didnt rate Ultimate Team cause I just dont bother with it.

    Ive been a long time FIFA player since FIFA 98. And EA is clearly lazy with the game and puts in no effort in the offline mode anymore. Its catering to its Ultimate Team fan base, and have forgotten the people who got them where they are.

    The bad: The matchmaking in Ultimate Team (the most popular feature in the game) is horrible. Even if the connection indicator says that the connection is good and stable, it might just not be the case. I haven't gathered the data, but it feels like 60-70% of all the matches are laggy and/or there is a button delay. This is not acceptable from a competitive gaming perspective.

    The player changing are just as horrible as the matchmaking. When defending a counter attack it's down to sheer luck if you get the right player.

    I have to advice players to stay away from this game until it's patched up.

This year, anticipating it to be good, I bought four copies so that all my friends would have it to play with and against me. Mistake... Money thrown down the drain.

    This was a huge step forward from the dreadful FIFA 16, it isn't brilliant to say the least I have recently gone back and played older FIFA's and even though the graphics are nowhere near as good they are just better games.

I feel as though they haven't done anything to improve the passing or game control. When I'm winning I feel like I can never connect any passes and my goalie is just short of stupid in late game situations. When I want to "park the bus" I feel really vulnerable and it doesn't seem to go as planned. Also, there have been too many times I have given up a goal in the 45th or 90th minute because of a breakdown defensively that I have no control over. That part of the game has seemed to carry over through the past couple years.

    There are a couple things that I did notice a change in and that is the on the ball dribbling, free kicks/corners, and penalty kicks. I feel like i have more control dribbling the ball through the midfield and can connect my tricks with little no problems at all. As for free kicks, I like that you can change your angle of striking the ball. I think this gives you an advantage to be able to bend the ball a certain way. Plus, it makes me feel like I have more control of what's going on. I really like the new corner kicks because you can now control where the ball ends up and how it gets there. Whether that be through a high lob or a low liner with the right amount of bend to catch the goalie off-guard. Lastly, penalty kicks are the worst change I have ever seen. In my opinion, a pk should be an automatic goal, with the change they have taken that completely out of the game. It is more difficult to get down and I don't feel as confident when I'm awarded a pk in a game. I've lost games because of it.

    One last little bit, they have done a great job with the goal celebrations over the past couple years and I think there's something to be said for that. I always like to "dab" on my haters when I score.
    All-in-all, I like playing this game and I will continue to support Fifa as they continue to make these games. I just think that they still need to clean up a couple aspects of it and it will be gravy.

I was always a fifa player and had stopped playing pro evolution in 2005-2006 but the new pro evo blows this ordinary fifa out of the water in terms of gameplay. If pro evo had the licensing rights fifa wouldn't even get a look in. Also the journey is terrible, it's just career mode/training with a bad cutscene every now and then, they made it look so good in the trailers but it's very boring, might be good in a few years time when they put some effort into it, but for now it is repetitive and boring. I would give this one a miss or try pro evo instead this year if you really want a football game. Expand

    With much-needed tweaks in visuals and gameplay, some improvements in the career mode and the addition of the Journey Mode, FIFA 17 has retained its place as the best football simulator available on the market.

    The story mode (this year’s biggest selling point) is not perfect, but I was surprised how much I was invested in this idealized adventure every little boy dreams of while playing football with his pals. None other mode in FIFA or PES provides such experience. In all other departments – licenses, visuals, sound, atmosphere – the new FIFA is as strong as ever. [12/2016, p.67]

    The inclusion of a story mode represents a move into fresh ground for the FIFA series. [Dec 2016, p.66]
