    Gameplay though still needs plenty of work players sadly do not feel that different from each other weather you are Messi, Ronaldo, Kroos or Pogba. also quick pacey players who can leave a lot of defenders for dead feel a little slow they have however improved the tackling mechanic you can no longer just mash the O button and steal the ball easy you do have to work hard and time your tackles every time which is a big improvement.
    Graphically it looks good wear on the pitch is a nice touch the new frostbite engine certainly does make this look like the beautiful game except during substitutions players look a little deformed when walking as well as a few animation issues.

    Overall i would give this game a 7.8/10 so rounded up to an 8/10 not a pretty good football game but in need of a overhaul i fear the slump Fifa suffered in the early 2000's may rear its ugly head again.    … Expand

    Based on these few days since i bought it, the gameplay seems a bit messy, the cutscenes in the game are kinda messy too (i'm refering to the faults, complaints, cards, players rambling etc) fast paced and slow movements at the same time, some of them do not seem natural at all, i don't know if it's the new engine mode.

    The gameplay is fuzzy sometimes, gkeepers look at the ball, while it enters to goal, they just stand there watching it.. sometimes, it feels like it's not responsive in every way. It may be me, or still i need to get used to it. The interface, it's the same as Fifa16, which is.. i don't know.. a diferent interactive UI based menu would be nice.. but i don't know.. maybe it can't be more interactive than the previous one, i can't say because i'm not a designer.

    But it's a very good game though, some good improvements as players motion in the field with or w/out the ball in beetween many things that improved too, awesome graphics and very good sound effects in field.. but still alot of work to do (patches and updates).. and please.. fix Renato Sanches face.. is it about licensing?

As someone who only plays on Legendary or Ultimate mode, you really have to change tactics before or during some games. You also have to create space through passing.

    FIFA is back with another year for more football (soccer), but this time it has been powered by the Frostbite engine. Does this make a difference to the game and does the all new journey mode hold its ground in the FIFA franchise? Let’s find out.

Does this make a difference to the game and does the all new journey mode hold its ground in the FIFA franchise? Let’s find out.
    FIFA has risen to the surface again, with an all-new look and new mode. This year's installment of the franchise has been designed with the Frostbite engine to allow for the story-driven journey mode. You play as Alex Hunter, a little kid playing pick-up games in a Sunday league in London, England. Time skips forward seven years, to when you are about to try out for one of the twenty premier league teams.
    Once you get a grade high enough to make the team you choose which team you want to be a part of. You start off as a substitute; before each game you do some training and depending on how you perform that can determine if you are going to be starting or sitting on the bench. As you play through a few games you get bumped down into another league. Doing well in the lower league will get you called back up to the premier league. Throughout the journey, the way you respond to people can have an effect on you: if you answer a question with a cocky attitude, your followers will go up but the relationship with your manager will go down, if you answer a question cool the manager relationship will go up but the followers will go down. The way you respond to your team mates can also affect your relationship with them off and on the field. Through the course of your journey, you will see your stats increase and sponsorship deals come in as you reach a certain amount of social media followers.
    All the modes from previous installments of FIFA are there, from season mode all the way to ultimate team. FIFA has done a lot of things right in this year's installment compared to last year’s, however, the game does still struggle with some mechanics. Passing is one of them; while I am on the pitch and I want to pass it to another player it will go to another teammate that I had no intention of passing it to. As well, during a penalty kick I could not switch my keeper to automatic control, which became very frustrating.
    FIFA 17 delivers exactly what I needed and wanted in a soccer game, a lot of changes for the good, an all-new story driven mode showing the ups and downs of a professional athlete, Ultimate team mode where you can build your all-star team of current players and legends from Reus to Beckham, and play through the divisions. If you are football fan then FIFA 17 is the definitely the title you want to pick up.

    FIFA 17 looks so adventureable and sexy on the Frostbite engine, and this is the first fifa that's got a campaign mode (Alex Hunters Journey) which is awesome.. it feels as a start on something different!

    If you play mostly online, you may get a lot enjoyment out of fifa 17. I played a couple clubs drop in games and i liked it. The increased physicality means the little speedy guys no longer dominate, which is great.
    But I'm mostly a career guy.

    The overall pace, good. Playing against AI, you will notice the game is focused on attack rather than defence, if you set the difficulty too high, it can be impossible to take the ball from the AI. Through ball can be very effective, often result in a completely shattered defence.

The singleplayer has seen some improvements, but is still rather lackluster for a game in this day and age. The career mode AI makes either very weird or very scripted decisions. At times you still arbitrarily lose games where the AI concedes about 20 shots but still manages to keep a clean sheet and score with their only shot from 45 yards out. The Journey is alright, but it's very scripted and repetitive, making it a one time experience with no replayability. All in all, for a game that is so very focused on multiplayer, for a game that is trying to have a competitive scene, it does really poorly on the multiplayer front. The rather archaic singleplayer cant really save the day for FIFA 17. We can only hope EA realizes the many flaws this game has, and learns for them regarding FIFA 18.… Expand

    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. The Journey was good, if it or something similar is to be in FIFA 18 there is a lot of work to do but overall it is a lot better than FIFA 16.

    With the introduction of The Journey, this chapter of all the FIFA games that have been released over the years received far more attention than usual.

A completely different mode based around the rise of a young football player transitioning from a kid that kicks ball to a sports superstar. I am quite impressed by what EA delivered here, never thought they would put this much effort into it but they did and it has paid off in many aspects. Next time, they should make statistic tables available so we can see how well the protagonist is playing compared to the rest of the players in the league. Is he top scorer, is he topping the assists table, how many yellow cards has he received etc. Not being able to see Match Facts after a game is completed is nothing but an immature error on EA's part. They should also give the user the option to continue beyond the first season, minus the cut scenes. It feels like all the training is a bit of a waste. Having predetermined attributes like having low FK accuracy regardless of what position you play is also a far-sighted move. Not all strikers in real life are terrible at free kicks. I think a player type on top of being able to choose what position would have sufficed, like a shooter who's shooting stats are better than normal, a target man who's physical and heading stats are better than normal, or a player maker with good passing and vision stats etc. There's already more depth looking at it like this, which would no doubt improve the game mode. I also think the interview triggers and social media reactions need a lot of work, I could score two goals and bag an assist in one game and then the interviewer tells me I got one goal and an assist. If I bag a hat-trick, the reactions on social media are either non-existent or "a goal from" you, "what a player". Significant events that go beyond a goal or an assist such as winning the league or breaking other records aren't highlighted at all by social media. This is extremely unrealistic and requires a lot of tweaking to reflect reality better.

    Elsewhere, they announced they were making changes to Career Mode. Having played it, it quite clearly is barely any different from before. No real improvements to be seen here unlike how they portrayed it before the game release. They need to revamp it with some features reminiscent of the older FIFAs, namely FIFA 10 with the ticket pricing and stadium building etc. It's been the same for ages.

    In terms of FUT, the new Squad Builder Challenge mode is an excellent addition to the game, as it means that leftover players who otherwise have no use for gameplay can still be used to trade in for the chance (or guaranteed depending on the description of each of these challenges) to obtain better players who are more useful. It also greatly affects the market to a surprisingly large degree, which is always a good thing as it keeps me more on my toes and make the overall experience more challenging, more competitive but ultimately more rewarding.

    Gameplay wise, mostly some slight improvements. Moving mechanics are mostly more fluid, FK's can now be adjustable to make them more versatile and ultimately more experimental, although clunky at the moment I'm sure this will improve in the future. Shooting is pretty much the most improved feature in this game, there are so many ways and techniques to shoot the ball and I'd say it's the best feature of the game. There is a lot to be enjoyed with shooting in this FIFA particularly. However, there is without a doubt a button lag problem where your player doesn't respond quick enough when I press the most important buttons in pass, move and shoot. I understand that this is a meant to be a stroke of realism as no one reacts to balls or situations instantly but the amount of time it takes for basic functions to be completed is utterly ridiculous sometimes. First time shooting for instance is awful in this game. Fouls are also the worst they've ever been, they allow defenders to shove attacking opposition off the ball despite not getting the ball at all while doing so and allowing their teammates to pick up the ball. There is a difference between shielding the ball - which is legal - and shoving the opponent off completely while they're running or dribbling. EA clearly haven't got the distinction right here. Through balls are also dodgy at times when my players ignore great balls at times. It's way too easy to overshoot them too.

    Arena is also completely broken now. I cannot choose players outside the starting XI for any club to perhaps test them out for the Player Pro Career mode. They've removed Set Piece training and Practice Matches. Free kicks within the arena are also completely broken, you cannot move the player normally to aim at all.

    Other than that, it is a decent to good game. As always with games like FIFA, they can be really frustrating at times but I feel that EA have done a decent job on the game as a whole.    … Expand

The FUT is really cool with some differences from FIFA 16, but is still one of the greatest FIFA 17's strongests points, and brings more women teams than before, with a whole new experience with the women world cup.

    The problem of this game is that there's not a really big different from FIFA 16, and on some points it's even worse than it's predecessor, like on the CPU's AI that is a few easier than before. The game also have a bad problem with bugs and glitches, that happens oftentimes. One of the most annoying problems is with the called "hand balls", which should be one really cool and interesting thing become one of the greatest problem about "glitches" on this game.

    OFTEN, i'll repeat, OFTEN when i was playing with the handball activated, corners and crossings on the penalty area resulted in PENALTIES, because one of mine (or of the other team) was jumping to head the ball it jumps with the hands raised... and guess what? Yeah, penalty... and talking about that, the new penalty system is really unnecessary and hard to learn.

    FIFA 17 also have a problem with the leagues and licenses, ok it's still have more teams than it's competitor (PES 2017) but the game do not have the same immersion that the rival. On this game, we also have problems with the Brazilian league, and the national teams (that have just a few national teams, much less than PES), that harms the immersion on the game.

    Besides that, FIFA 17 is still a really cool game, it's still a great football game, but it's a little step back on the Franchise, that's maybe can be bad if EA Sports don't do anything to bring new stuff to the game (and good for Konami)    … Expand

    I've been a Fifa guy all of my life and after playing '17 it's tough to see where they improved from last year. I feel as though they haven't done anything to improve the passing or game control.

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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    “Fifa 17 Is Literally Making Rainbows”

    Fifa 17 is most likely a well known game by now. Made by EA games and their other

    successful games like Madden, 2K, and lots of other sporting games. Knowing that Fifa 17 was

    one of my most wanted games, released in September 27, 2016 Fifa 17 obviously had lots of

    work put into it.

    Fifa 17, a game where you can dribble around players in quick matches, shoot against a

    CPU in penalty kicks. The game has lots of extra features to keep you entertained. However,

    the game can get tedious and boring, also sometimes quite easy. The multiplayer is brilliant but

    if you are playing other than a 1v1 it can get very annoying, it gets hard to set up shots with a

    player and the passing mechanics in the multiplayer stage. In career mode you get most of the

    soccer experience rising to fame and fortune. The mechanics of the game are quite simple, one

    of my only wishes though is for them to make the skills better and easier to use against the

    cpus. The graphics were very well taken care of and the makers obviously tried hard to make

    this game.

    The game is meant for anyone and everyone who likes soccer or any sport games in

    general. Most critics and game specialists give the game a 4/5 however my personal opinion is

    4.5/5 for the games attention to detail, design, and the fact that dribbling around soccer stars is

    fun. The well known soccer game Fifa has been here for generations for many soccer fans to

    enjoy.    … Expand

    This is not a good game and it's the first time I regret spending money on a game this much - and I got this for 20 bucks on the PSN sale. And yes, I have played most soccer games starting from freaking "Super Soccer" on the SNES, so yes, I do kinda know what I'm talking about when i talk about soccer games.

    let me explain: The gameplay is terrible. This simply is not how soccer is    This is not a good game and it's the first time I regret spending money on a game this much - and I got this for 20 bucks on the PSN sale. And yes, I have played most soccer games starting from freaking "Super Soccer" on the SNES, so yes, I do kinda know what I'm talking about when i talk about soccer games.

    let me explain:

    The gameplay is terrible. This simply is not how soccer is played. The passes are either way too slow or (if you press L2 to give it a drive) way too hard. For some reason, they also removed the ability to separate assistance on speed and direction. Total manual passing just doesn't work well, when the AI doesn't understand who you#re trying to pass it to in the first place.

    Similar issue with shooting mechanics - the majority of shoots that you don't fill the power bar for 2 sec or so barely move 10 feet. This is not some figurative speech either. It literally doesn't move any more than this.

    When you try to play physical defence, it simply doesn't work. The rag doll (the body of the player basically ) just lacks "body". It feels as if the opponent is just hitting a liquid and not a full grown man trying too push him off. This is clearly not done by physical engine, but rather a script, where an animation is player if the script says the duel is won physically - it's why you can lose the ball this way, but can't win it the same way if you try.

    The Stamina bar depletes way too quickly. Two sprints with Aubameyang and he is basically done for three games. The man played some 40+ games last season, 90 mins each, and sprinted throughout every single game. This forces you to play at a minimal pace and just hold the ball forever and work your way through tediously or by abusing the trick stick, which btw, is needlessly complicated, where the most basic inputs don't even do anything, yet they skipped them and started the most basic moves with complicated inputs.

    The new penalty and corner systems are also awful. You just can't drive or curve the balls and it's so needlessly "complicated" to make these very simple things happen.

    I feel as if they tried for a full on soccer simulator or something, which went horribly wrong, but they also forgot that a game in real life goes for 90 mins while here, You need the same action to take place in 10 mins. I can't tell you why, but they decided to focus on the slow moving, barely action having part of the game, instead of opportunities, quick passes, counters - the "fun" stuff that gets you up your seat when watching.

    I thought PES 17 did a bad job gameplay wise, but FIFA sadly isn't any better this year and you can't edit the sliders to fix some issues, like Stamina - cause they removed that option for no reason really.

    So, is there anything good about the game? Yes! The career mode, both manager and player, are well done as always. Transfers are realistic, your tactics mostly work (within the confines of the not so great gameplay I just talked about) and the graphics are quite good for a soccer game. Load times and stuff like that is also quite good. I sadly can't talk about the online part of it all, but the FUT stuff costs a ton of money, which makes this totally unappealing to me anyway.

    So, should you get it? No. If you have any previous game in the series, just stick with that. This is, imo, a lot worse than FIFA 15, which was the last FIFA I played, but it is still a better Soccer game overall than PES 17. It isn't worth 20 bucks though. it just isn't.    … Expand

    One of the worst forms of video games. The controls are terrible and often unresponsive. Executing a basic pass isn't intuitive. But I guess this is the consequence of an exclusive licencing agreement.

    Worst FIFA ever!! The gameplay is infested with **** mechanics, the input is laggy, good gameplay is rarely rewarded, most of the goals are from dodgy game mechanics. Many a times the inputs are not registered at all, specially for skill moves. The menu is so slow, if you pause the game, by the time you get to the pause menu 3 seconds out of 40 seconds allowed for the pause are already gone.

    Modos como el de carrera de DT, de jugador, Temporadas Online no son pocos los jugadores quienes los juegan y todos los años son lo mismo y son opacados por un modo de juego Pay To Win llamado Ultimate Team, que todos los años aún asi siendo el modo de juego más jugado, no presenta grandes mejoras.
    Los gráficos del ambiente están bien acabados por Frosbite cuando juegas un Real Madrid VS FC Barcelona, pero cuando juegas partidos con equipos no tan por debajo como Valencia o Bayer Leverkusen las caras de los jugadores son irreconosibles en su gran mayoría, parecen personajes de cera. Esto lo implementas con los mismos comentarios egocéntricos de Mario Kempes y (quien no lo hace mal) Fernando Palomo, se obtiene un partido apagado, con un público en el que se sienten los goles y celebraciones, pero se evidencia en toda la grada que el 1 de cada 3 personas que vienen a ver a su club están haciendo exactamente lo mismo.
    Los modos carrera de DT y jugador siguen siendo lo mismo que de 2013 (incluso empeorando), y si EA mejora estos modos como debería ser convertiría a FIFA en un juego digno de un 9 (no siendo el caso de FIFA 17), todas las temporadas en estos modos es un patrón, comprar jugadores, destacar o ganar ligas o torneos, vender jugadores, retirarse. En el modo jugador se vuelve aburrido ya al acabar la temporada sintiéndote una máquina de solo, jugar partidos y moverte de un club a otro.
    En conclusión, Fifa 17 es la misma mierda que el 16 o 15 o 14 pero con un modo nuevo pero que queda corto de tiempo.    … Expand

    It's representation of the sport is spot on along with the gameplay. I have learned some tech and skills irl watching replays. My only problem with the football part is the jaggy keeper animations. They feel too disconnected. Keepers irl do everything in one motion. The is some wait time between parts of gk diving. Also some "realistic" features (like diving) were not added. The journey was good. I haven't completed it yet because at one point cutscenes are few and far between. FUT was compelling when sniping and building the ultimate team.Contracts, even though realistic, kept me away from fut for a while. The extra game modes like skill games and especially practice arena are extremely fun and can hook you in! The licensing is great, unlike pes. The gameplay is great. It has a lot of depth whilst being begginer friendly. Skills are extremely fun and dribbling, passing, shooting and crossing feel realistic and good mechanically. Also the gameplay changes are more than welcome.    … Expand

    This game vastly improved upon the 15 and 16 iterations. It added functionality to the through ball, which previously guaranteed the other team would get the ball.

The journey mode is a great addition even if it can be corny. The career mode plays much as expected with few changes from previous years. There are some issues though. There are moments (although not as frequent as some make it seem) of scripting. Moments where no matter what you do you cannot get the ball from the AI and your defense turns to Swiss cheese while all your shots go ridiculously wide. However, these don’t usually make you lose unless you are simply out of time. My main gripe is that it seems like in their goal of making these games feel more realistic, they are slowing them down a lot. The players run, turn, and shoot slower. Sometimes it’s frustrating to try to outrun defenders with players who have at least a 20 point sprint speed advantage. That should not be. The negative reviews simply from EA hatred are pointless. Is it even possible to rate this game a 0? A 0 means it’s unplayable (literally, not just it makes you mad) garbage that people need to be arrested for selling. This, regardless of its flaws, is not that, so stop being dramatic. Terrible. That being said, for all the people claiming to be turning to PES in anger, you’ll notice that game is losing licenses left and right. Have fun explaining to your friends why they have to play as Raül Cogba for Man Reds while I play as Paul Pogba of Manchester United.… Expand

    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]
