    Simply put, this is the best FIFA game we’ve seen in years and a superb package that will keep you hooked for months.

    Yet another extremely valid and compelling game in FIFA series, with great variety and a very good story mode. Our primary complaint is about lack of fidelity with many players: what's the point of adding so many of them if visual, animations, and stats fidelity is only accurate in the most popular ones?

    FIFA 17 is a great game. The on-pitch action is as realistic as it’s ever been, aesthetically and mechanically, but not without some shortcomings. It’s no longer stagnating like last year’s iteration, but while The Journey is fantastic, Career mode still feels woefully underdeveloped.

    If this is a usual 12 month purchasing decision for you, absolutely no reason to stop now.

    You have to appreciate advancements in the visual department and lots of small but pleasant fixes in the career mode. But FIFA 17 doesn't deserve to be called "the best virtual football game". There are too many issues of different kind and this year PES is simply better. FIFA generates fun (as always) but I think the expectations were bigger.

    Overall, FIFA 17 performs well and keeps the trophy for football greatness, but it can certainly do better. But with the exclusive licensing and creative game modes, it's tough to beat. However, Pro Evolution Soccer is making great strides in competing against EA's series this year.

    I liken this year’s football shootout to musicians. In the current season, FIFA is like Madonna – aging but venerable, full of glitz and entertainment value, but ultimately lacking substance. Contrarily, PES is like a fiery independent singer, with minimal flash but much deeper soul where it counts most. In the end, both performers might put a smile on gamers’ faces, but FIFA’s bloat and wrinkles are beginning to show, especially with a younger, hungrier upstart nipping at its heels.

At some points i thought i was watching a movie! And the graphics this year are definitely one of the best out of any game we've ever seen they look like you are watching an actual soccer game! Overall this is definitely one of the best FIFA games we have seen in a while and i highly recommend buying it Expand

    Le doy un 6 siendo generoso.

    Worth buying for the glitches, but I guess anyone could really just find those compilations on YouTube for a fraction of the price.

    Also, maybe, if you have friends who only play this franchise but they live too far away to visit in person because gas is too expensive and your Mom won't let you drive her mini-van anyway since you accidentally broke the door last time Which Was Totally Not Your Fault - but she don't care ... she never did :c

    The game is infuriating, tactical defending has ruined the game, the fact that the ball is like a magnet to my opponent every time I eitherThe game is infuriating, tactical defending has ruined the game, the fact that the ball is like a magnet to my opponent every time I either tackle them or my keeper parrys the ball proves this game is almost dead and buried! The only decent thing about this game is the journey.

    I dislike the fact that my opponent can easily walk into my player and win every tackle, I dislike the fact that my full backs rush to play as a left/right midfielder, even when I have my tactics for them to stay back whilst attacking....

    I dislike the fact that even though having people like fellaini in my team I'm being outmuscled by bloody Walcott! And the fact that mertesacker is outpacing mane/aguero/remy is utterly shambolic.
    It doesn't matter on any goalkeeper you have it seems he could be a bronze 64 or a gold 88 he will somehow keep parrying shots to the opponents seconday striker for an easy tap in or failing that feel that scoring an own goal would suffice instead.

    This game is dead what's worse is that I hate pes also so this year with "modern warfare" you know the one that should be "modernised"....but instead is set in bloody space and has no relevance to modern warfare whatsoever, games seem to be on a decline modern warfare....crap....pes....crap....Fifa 17....shocking

    It's a dull day for gamers everywhere.
