    Really I feel this FIFA more live ever. The IA is very good in the World Class.

    Masterpiece of a game. An unbelievably ambitious effort and EA has knocked it out of the park. Brand new game mode, brand new engine and huge improvements across all aspects in the game... well done!

    FIFA 17 is way better than PES 2017
    Unlike PES scoring depends on your own playing abilities not complitly on your playaers skills
    If you want to score easily play PES...but if you wanna play a real football FIFA is the right choice!

    FIFA 17 is a great game to kick back and smash your opponents online or if you’re not feeling that then you can play the journey that is a new mode where you can control the character Alex hunter and get the chance to win the BPL and show you’re worthy. As it is powered by frostbite. The game now has more of a better feeling with the crossing and the penalties.

I would rate this game a solid 10/10 as it has everything a football game need not like the other ones where there was no story to it. With that being in the game you now play for longer without you all getting bored or playing game after game. If I was you I would go pick this game up at a solid price of 38.00 but if you want stuff to come with it such as packs and loaned players. Expand

    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.

    Fifa 17 is the best fifa regarding gameplay. It has everything closest to real football. Any type of goals are possible in this game. After my great disappointment on Fifa 21, I turned back to older Fifa’s and I liked , enjoy and play Fifa 17. Great game. EA should develop Fifa 22 , taking Fifa 17 as base and improve with authentic faces , leagues and graphics.

    I didn't fifa 16 mostly because of its gameplay but this year I'm loving every second of it. New graphics engine makes the game look great, the game feels balanced aswell. Only just started The Journey as i play FUT mostly but this year i can finally say that I'm loving Fifa this year.

    É incrível a evolução do fifa 16 pro 17. Times pra caramba, the journey incrível até o momento. 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. Mas agora acho o fifa 17 o melhor de todos que já joguei (joguei o fifa 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 e 21).

    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.

    Good improvement in graphics. Most of the game modes remain but the addition of The Journey makes this year's FIFA a must have for every soccer fan. The gameplay is OK, it hasn't changed that much from previous years, but this still is the best FIFA so far.

    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

    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

    Average game that has good graphics, but still needs work to catch up to quality graphics of PES17. Still has better game play mechanics and is a pretty authentic soccer game, and even casual players can get into it easily.

However the servers do tend get a little annoying, there's a lot of maintenance for this game especially for online modes. That aside we can't argue that the game is getting more realistic every year with very nice graphics with the help of the Frostbite engine. One of the new things EA added was "The Journey" it does start to get fun and i love the voice acting and cutscenes but once you play a few matches the tension and drama really isn't there until the end of the season the lack of cutscenes are a bit disappointed I actually really like them but once you are done there really is nothing else to do with the Journey but you do a get a special card for completing the Journey which is nice touch from EA. overall I love the Journey idea I wish they could added more content for it otherwise Fifa 17 is still the best football/soccer game out there so if you can't choose over pes/fifa/other then I would personally go with Fifa it's more fun and the gameplay is miles better. But there's still improvement they could add to the franchise,

    The same game year-to-year. The developers are focused only on FUT. Single-player is getting forgotten more and more.

    Normally I would think it`s a typical FIFA game. If you have one, you have all. But the story mode is a nice change to the predecessors. Here you can play as young talent Alex Hunter on his way to the top. That`s a pretty fine novelty for a series that`s known for yearly repetition.

    FIFA 17 makes gameplay far more realistic than ever before, this is by delivering amazing details and a massive leap in its graphics fidelity in addition to more game modes than ever. It is definitely the ultimate football experience.

    Sure, PES 2017 may once again rule the play through the midfield, but FIFA 17 has so much to offer off the pitch that it’s difficult to not be satisfied. As long as you can get your head around the possession-focused style of play in FIFA, you’ll have no qualms with its gameplay, but it’s everything else that really sells it this year.

    The impact of changes (new engine, story mode) is not so crucial at the end, especially for the course of matches themselves, but it doesn't change the fact that FIFA 17 is the nicest, funniest and, regarding the content, also the richest game in the whole series. It's just not a revolution. [Issue #268]
