FIFA 17 News & Discussion Thread

Been playing some BETA. It reminds me a lot of FIFA 11 and FIFA 09. Good thing is, it's really stable and it feels nice to play. The sprint speed is a bit too much IMO doh. Bad thing is, all the team plays the same tactics. Custom tactics doesn't work. Passing speed is more lazer guided and fast. Really end to end direct football match. AI is way more simplified than even FIFA 15. I got bored after playing for a while. Also, I love the shooting doh.
 
I didn't bother sigining up for the beta (regret it). Anyway I've been watching someone stream the beta on twitch and I have to say it looks really good.

To be honest the 2v2 gameplay with Marco Reus didn't look too hot in my opinion, it looked arcadey and nothing like a real football match.

Simply going by the gameplay videos what I've seen of Fifa 17 looks better than PES. The proof is in the pudding as they say, so I'll see for myself when I buy both games as usual.

That doesn't sound good, although it is a beta so hopefully they'll make some improvements.

Playing the beta i like the game overall BUT some of you will hate it especially online i think

The op chip ball over the top is back and passing is very easy and zippy on default settings

Pace is back

Gks seem like 16 but with added moments of real errors say they save a ball and it bobbles off the post or off them and in (looks better than it sounds) plus they dont fist out ever cross or corner the can stay on their line too

the shield ball is terrible vs the AI they do this unrealistic 360 spin on the ball that looks horrible needs fixing asap

Headers seem easier to win on crosses

AI on legendary is actually ok for a fifa game bit more random they try all sorts long balls long shots crossing dribbling, the fast players are dangerous martial kept running at me bursting past and not like 16 with them kicking it 15 yrd ahead but with it at his feet had my fb simpson dead by the 70th min from chasing him

The muscular body model is too big looks bad compared to others which look great

Graphics are hit and miss some cutscenes look real but the color pallete is very pes 2016
In fact the game feels like pes 2016 and fifa 16s lovechild

Too tired to think of more

Assuming this is all true, I'm not surprised in the least. The FUT crowd (which is the majority of players nowdays) scream, and bitch, and moan that the game isn't "arcadey" enough and this is the end result. What a joke.

Great, it's FIFA 15 online all over again. They should give me bonuses for staying, and competing in Division 1 2v2 while playing on manual. Give some incentive to the manual player base. All 12 of us.

I agree with this. It seems like they took a lot more stuff from FIFA 16 and FIFA 11 and mash it together.

Damn that would really suck, but it could be by the EPL or someone else, they should be certain before saying it's EA, can't put that genie back in the bottle!

Edit: I replied to their thread:

Are you sure the DMCA is coming from EA? A true and valid DMCA would be in written form (letter or email) and clearly lay out who is submitting the claim, who they are and who they represent and what the content is that they believe is being used "illegally", without all that stuff it's not a valid DMCA and you have no reason to abide by it.

I work for Bohemia Interactive and we love, love, love modders! Without people creating mods for Operation Flashpoint's demo in 2001 and then the full game when released we undoubtedly wouldn't be here today, modding created the franchise we know as Arma today.

If I can help in any way please reach out to me :)

Sounds very positive.
 
-I've already stressed this before but it's so important, defensive postioning is FINALLY fixed.
-However, the first video against the AI, the CB on one of the first attacks runs wayyyy out of position for no reason at all. A bit concerning

-Annimations look really smooth. I like the running animations and the way players interact seems substantially better. Not to mention this game looks lovely in 1080p <3
-I heard the Madrid anthem after their goal was scored, really cool they added that.
-They got Cr7's running motion spot on
-Players first touches are much better, especially when they decide to let the ball run or to take it with the outside of their foot in stride

-On his Classico video, can someone explain to me why the AI clears the ball at 5:45...:CONFUSE:
-Players arguing after cards and fouls looks sooo good

All in all not bad. The AI concerns me the most, especially their directness, lack of player indivduality and lack of funtioning tactics from what I've heard so far :(

I mainly just want Barcelona to outpossess me know matter who I'm playing with. ANd I want Leciester to look for Vardy in behind the defense often. *sighs*

Mixed reviews so far (as usual). Lets wait for more feedback and beta.
Regarding alleged letter from ea to moddingway; I hope ea is not that unreasonable to ban modding because IMO it would lead to exodus of some (many?) pc players to pes.
 
The videos look smooth.

I like the running animations, yet the pace is a bit too fast.
Cut scenes look great.

Cant make a final conclusion at all at this moment (how the hell when I havent played the game myself yet?).
 
FIFA it is this year for me then...

When I see all these unofficial gameplay videos, I'm actually getting that 'watching-a-football-match-on-tv' feeling. When I watch one of those PES 2017 gameplay videos I'm constantly distracted by so many annoyances I perceive. Specially in weird animations. FIFA may have some 'tactical' issues, like too many spaces, too attacking-oriented gameplay, but even with those, it still feels right to me.

Plus, the fact that EA puts PC at the same level as PS4 and XBOX ONE (as it should be) it is something one should reward EA for and at the same time punish Konami.

Chap I know has the beta and he's an FUT enthusiast and he says the pace and exploits are a bit over the top at the moment. No pun intended. It does genuinely feel like 17 is being geared towards an arcade experience over simulation though - which, unfortunately, probably appeals to more players.
 
I like the look of this, couple of things to remember is we have the luxury of sliders for single play games and also drop speed to slow and manual/semi of course...Cant wait

I kind of wish i got career mode to test i got pro clubs but none of the lads i play with got it but enjoying kick off mode for now

If my post come across as all doom and gloom its not i mean they have tipped towards arcade play this year and the 360 spin shielding the ball looks horrific must be a bug? but playing 17 and going back 16 you realise how much 16 feels on rails almost and 17 is so free and loose the plus there are lots of nice little details like the gk holding the ball in one hand after a save telling the team to get out with his other,after i did a bad corner vardy starting telling everyone to watch the counter point at the utd player waiting by the halfway line theres loads more like that

I think ppl who play offline are going to be able to make it really good with slider adjustments the AI teammates makes some superb runs but i can imagine online fut is going to be sweat city all pace chip balls and rush football

I should add the game was set to fast by default in options maybe thats why the reus video looked so quick? Doubt they changed the setting
