    It seems to be one of EA Sport's most popular titles, yet it continues to disappoint each year.

Looking past the new and interesting "The Journey" mode (which ends up lasting not as long as many might have hoped), the game suffers from frustratingly bland career mode options which seem to be left behind in development in the game each year. So what do EA do during the year they have to create their game? Yes, it seems that they have been able to upgrade their graphics to make the game look a little bit more bright and colourful, but honestly other than a few tweaks to gameplay to make it a more pacy experience, the game lacks any real innovation. I don't see how they can continue to push away from improving their game modes and adding beneficial new features. Why does customisation lack so much? Why can't we create our own teams in the game? Why not allow us to create a team that can be used in manager mode, or simply add the ability to customise kits and sponsors throughout the years in manager mode? These are only small details that could help the game out. The game could be expanded on so much more, yet the game is stuck in the past. Despite the large sale numbers, FIFA continues to disappoint with a real absence of any substance to keep you interested.… Expand

    Absolutely infuriating. Command lag, server side input lag, passes going astray or massively under hit. Playing this game is less enjoyable than catching gastric flu and being stuck on the toilet until you can only pass digestive juices. EA are a bunch of money grabbing con artists.

    Dissapointing

    This should be FIFA 18 Beta. Everything has so much to be worked on it's insane. The Journey is the bigger dissapointment. He doesn't seem real and barely any of his teammates seem real either. Apart from Bernard and Gallo at the start. But Gallo seems to just dissapear and the only living characters seem to be your family, your agent, Danny Williams, Bernard and Walker.    Dissapointing

    The GAMEPLAY is awful too. It's so easy to pierce through the defense with just a few passes, and the defense don't have a chance. If you get close enough to the goalkeeper you should score, BPL teams are all that it takes to have a good team so there is no creativity in the squads this year at all. I'm in division 6 at the moment, but GOD have I hated playing this. This is a downgrade from FIFA 17.    … Expand

    Complete trash, whatever you do, do not buy. I have been playing every FIFA since '98, and I can say this is the worst one to date. Completely nonsensical, illogical AI and situations designed only to follow a script, care absolutely nothing about quality of the actual game. DO NOT SUPPORT this garbage, trust me.

    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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How a game that is released year after year after year can still have the same faults it had a decade ago is astounding. Instead of fixing issues with the game, EA have added half-baked features like the journey. Unskipable cutscenes in the match. Players taking a lifetime to get up, when there is an opportunity for an easy goal, because of some scripted nonsense. The physics in the game are poor at best.
    The only consideration EA seems to have is for ultimate team, because thats where they make the most money, forget the people that only want to pay for the main game, why care about them. they've already paid. I've heard people praise the journey mode, and at first it seemed okay, but it became clear that what you do is irrelevant, you could score 15 goals a game and still be on the bench, still sent out on loan, because "you're not ready". It is scripted nonsense, nothing you do makes a difference, your responses, fiery, cool or balanced, make no difference to the story. I know this because, out of curiosity, after completing it once I decided to play through it again just to see how the story could be different. It wasn't, I chose a different club, a different position, and went for all fiery responses instead of cool/balanced. Everything was the same. You get told your wages and value at the end of each match, its pointless information, you can't spend your money on anything. The only choice I got all season was what colour boots I wanted to wear. Towards the end of my first season I was 26 points behind the team in first (I was at leicester), and 4 games before the end of the season a random, never before seen, woman comes into the dressing room to give everyone a pep talk about how if they can just win the last few games they will be champions. How everyone in the room could be heroes that go down in history, giving the fans of the club something they had never had before. Clearly this woman is awful at maths, because we didn't have 9 games in hand. Once the season was over there was a scene where Alex is moping around upset because of just how close he had come to winning the league, losing it on the last day. We finished 6th, 24 points behind. Then thats it, 1 season, thats your lot, it then tells you to carry the journey on in ultimate team. It was at this point that the constant mentions of chemistry throughout the season sunk in. It's just a marketing ploy to get the few people that aren't playing ultimate team to start doing so. If not for a morbid sense of curiosity I would have put the game down after about 4 hours. The only redeeming factor is that the skill games are alright, but they've hardly changed too.    … Expand

    my overall feeling is its typically mediocre and scripted, it looks fine but once you start playing the frustrations come to light.
    its trying to simulate football rather than be fun,
    defending is so frustrating, watching opposition just walk through your players even though the ball is right there and your player kicks it but nothing happens.
    and the reverse is annoying you turn away from the opposition but they're able to just tackle regardless if you keep yourself between them and the ball.i think i made 1 successful tackle every game and missed every other despite getting my self right next to the ball.
    its feels like a dice role more than a mechanic.
    also ive played over 40 games 33 in FUT and the rest in career and only had 3 free kicks and 1 penalty, the AI never gets fouls called against them but i always get fouls for any tackle, **** annoying. but 3 free kicks in over 40 games isnt right!

    and the controls aren't consistent, I was practicing penalties with a good player with high rating.
    and i would press the same direction and almost the same power around 2 bars and the ball direction would vary wildly. sure small amounts but not that much. and im not complaining because i was bad or couldnt win often, i had a record of 30 wins and 2 losses, its because those wins felt like it was more the AI allowing me to win and when i lost it felt like i couldn't win no matter what i did. its scripting basically.

    but the MT are the worst sin, not that they exist but i have never bought stuff with MT before and for once tried it thinking it would be worth it, spent $25 NZD and got nothing, NOTHING!
    whats the point if i get better cards just playing the game normally.
    i wasn't expecting PTW but i was expecting a player over 85 at the least from the 5-6 packs i opened. never again in any game will i buy MT. NEVER!

    I should have got PES but the lure of playing as ozil or sanchez got the better of me.
    overall very mediocre, and not fun to play. frustrating and scripted.    … Expand

FIFA 17 also has the worst input response time of any game I've played, which for a game which should be fast paced, is unacceptable. The amount of weight you put on a ground pass is almost entirely irrelevant, with players massively overshooting passes, losing possession beyond the players control. Now let's talk lag; it's worse than it's ever been, which on FIFA's standards is unbelievable. It is clear that FIFA 17's menus routinely drop below 20 FPS, making it very choppy, it simply looks cheap. The lag is also from the terrible matchmaking, which is inexcusable considering the funds EA have to spend on servers, as well as the tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of other players to match with, getting matched in a game on a 2 bar connection is ridiculous.

    Somehow, Pro Clubs still has the same matchmaking system that it has had for years, I won't get into it, but it is idiotic, and lazy on EA's part.

    There are more problems with this game, but I am done spending time on anything to do with such a worthless game. Maybe for FIFA 18, they'll wait until they actually finish the game before they release it.    … Expand

How these made it out of testing I have no idea, but penalties, corners and free kicks have been reworked and are now terrible.

Free kicks are shocking as well, you cannot now tell where you are aiming.

    Does FIFA have deep a deep customisable tactical mini game that really lets you stamp your mark on a team? Of course not, it's the same as all the other years.
    How about being able to play the ball exactly where you want it to go based on your skill? nope it's like a magnet ball, the same as all the other years. And the passing has a slight delay... Which for any football game lover, such as myself is a cardinal sin.
    Do players still randomly fall over, yep of course they do.
    Do the players look better than they do in PES 17? No not even slightly, in FIFA they honestly look like clay models. The sweat and dirt effects and how the pitch rips up looks really good though.
    The journey is a welcome addition and is really fun.... Until you have to play some football, I feel they have tried to hard on the journey and making the visuals look like sky sports. Doing that they forgot about the important bit.... The football.

    I'm sure if you haven't tried this years edition of PES you can find some enjoyment in this, but after playing PES 17 you notice that FIFA 17 is lacking the love of the game which PES totally has.

    Konami knocked it out of the park with pro evo this year and it was up to EA to try and win back the real football lovers. But they haven't, rather than fix the issues that have been annoying total football lovers since 12, they decided to try a distraction technique which, while at the moment seems to be working. In 4 months down the line when Alex Hunters journey is a distant memory, will I still be playing FIFA 17? No.

    The journey was a great idea and addition to a fifa game whose offline side was getting rather bland and repetitive. Decent voice acting and the Frostbite engine really makes a difference.
    However, on the gameplay side they changed way too many things in the way we take free kicks, corners and penalties, and it becomes very frustrating trying to get the player to do exactly what you want    The journey was a great idea and addition to a fifa game whose offline side was getting rather bland and repetitive.

    Big improvement of graphics, physics and overall more polished. However, various problems in ultimate team dull the overall experience, and despite the addition of the journey, single player modes are still repetitive and dull

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the disappointment that was FIFA 16, FIFA 17 is a complete overhaul of the game for the better. The use of the frostbite engine makes the game a whole lot better looking and allows for lots more detail. The passing is a lot more consistent and shooting feels better too. The AI has improved and isn't just passing around the back anymore and instead attacking and creating chances. The journey is a bit of a hit and miss however, it is great fun to play football in the eyes of a young talent and everything that comes with that but after playing it for a while, it gets repetitive and ends up being a drag by the end. Ultimate team is as fun as ever and the SBC is a sweet addition although it does have a massive influence on the market which sucks.

    Overall, it's a very good game with the new engine and mechanics with the journey being a decent addition.    … Expand

    The journey is a good addition, but the graphics and gameplay must be better. We are in an era of nex-gen, and looking at games like NBA2k17 why cant EA do something that really do justice to the power and capability of PS4 and XboxOne. Really thinks they should do much better.

    Melhorou muito a jogabilidade com relação ao 16, o controle de bola ficou perfeito e o modo história bem inovador. No Geral ficou melhor que os anteriores, com ressalva da cobrança de penalti que ficou bizzarra, muito esquisito aquilo. Mesmo assim ainda vale a pena.

The addition of The Journey is great, though it is a little short. FUT now has some new additions which are very welcome and add more content. Gameplay focuses or build up play from the back. Now let's look at what is god awful in this game. The recent patches have ruined this gameplay, now it feels sluggish and pressure is stupidly high making build up play near impossible. Input lag is still a thing is these games, how many titles has this been a problem now and it still hasn't been fixed? EA servers are trash, you are likely to experience lag on a frequent basis or be thrown off the servers outright. Pro Clubs hasn't changed when there is so much potential there, EA focus so much on FUT that the rest of the game feels underdeveloped. Defensive AI and in fact all AI are just a joke, absolutely horrendous. Packs and points are overpriced and your odds of getting that 86+ rated player or inform are laughably low, also the fact that EA think charging £79.99 for some FIFA points is fair is what is wrong with games today, if you want to get those big players like Ronaldo you either have to be amazing at the game and always do well in FUT Champions every week, or spend hundreds upon hundreds of pounds in this game to hope you can get the player you want, basically it's very much a pay to win system. Basically this is the best example of a yearly cash cow AAA title where minimal effort is put in but the returns are still huge, at this point EA more or less has a monopoly on the football game market, and since that they have fallen into a typical monopoly mindset that if there is no real competitor then they can afford to put minimal effort into the game and still expect high amounts of money for sales. It's the same hot garbage they sold us last year but with a different coat of paint, even though it's on the frostbite engine, one of the most powerful video game engines, it still looks no different to the previous FIFA's. To conclude the game offers very little in the way of what's new and yet asks for a full AAA title price when really it's not worth that. That and along with the terrible gameplay mechanics in a product that feels half arsed and rehashed. The final verdict for FIFA 17 is a 3/10 and is an epic fail… Expand

This leaves me disappointed as career mode has massive potential but is once again left to the wayside for different game modes. Ultimate team mode has a decent change such as squad building challenges which is a nice touch. Pro clubs mode has perhaps the most changes since fifa 16 and I enjoyed customizing kits and crests for my very own personal club to play with friends. The rest of the modes are repeats that we have all seen in previous fifa titles.

Defending continues to be impossible, much like FIFA 16, which only makes it tougher for those who want fast paced, high scoring action by forcing them to sit back and watch as their opponent passes around their entire team. The lack of opportunities that are created quick, ball movement playing styles is appalling, and infuriates even the most relaxed Ultimate Team player. For those people who have played previous FIFAs know that they've been about through balls, skill moves and pace. But for some god forsaken reason, EA decides to make FIFA 17 the absolute opposite, creating a boring, dull waste of $70, where you sit back for hours on end watching your opponent retain the ball for the entire game and mash the A button in hopes of breaking down your sad excuse of a defense.

    The game is so bad that even if you win most of the time, you cannot stand it. The stupid stuff that players do is amazing. For example, defense players run away from the ball or opposition; when dribbling, players suddenly leave the ball and start running to a weird direction; world's best players cannot control the ball without struggling with it 4-5 seconds.

    Momentum is another issue that is well known to the Fifa series, but this game cannot be topped. Sometimes one team just becomes invincible while the other starts acting very very slow and stupid. You can see your opponents defense players running the weird directions as you slowly walk towards his goal.

    Also, it takes the game at least minutes to find a match even though there are thousands of players online. Usually, games are lagged, or they stop once in 10 seconds.    … Expand

Os goleiros tem a melhor animação comparado aos outros jogos, teve um downgrade absurdo para o fifa 18, 19, 20 e 21. Quqndo joguei pela primeira vez, não gostei, achei o 18 melhor.
