FIFA 17 News & Discussion Thread

The game is OK so far , but what I hate is when using LT/L2 to protect the ball the player's strength stat doesn't count.
Every player is like a concrete wall when protecting the ball

Great assessment.

We're still in a situation (and maybe always will be) where one game nails one half of things, and the other game nails the other half.

I miss the goal variety when I play PES, and all the stadia and the crowd chants (which aren't insignificant to me, they alleviate that feeling of playing in the same place over and over). But I can't get past the weightlessness this time, or that feeling of "I'm playing the difficulty level, not the team". (It'll be better with sliders, though, I'm sure.)

It all just depends on which half you love, or which half you can't bear. I don't think it's a bad game, it's personal preference.

Has there been any comment with regards to sliders in the full game or are we in the assumption zone?

They were in the beta weren't they? So I can't imagine they'd be missing from retail.

I wonder why 99% play on a zoomed out camera. You miss so much detail.

Because to play proper football you need to see as much of the pitch as possible :)
 
With all the money EA have they should have most of the big signings with real faces atlas those at the big clubs. Gary Medal looks like a prison guard from Tenko nothing like Gary Medal and as i've said Bailly nothing like him. Auger has a very distinctive 'Bow Legged' running style and this hasn't been addressed same with Messi. If you have the big dollar then you can attest pull a few of these things off. Individuality is what it's all about and the first game to have this will have cracked it. As for gameplay i definitely feel it is different from beta but i was playing 15 halves on Beta. Sorry to keep piping on about faces but it's a bit like going buying a Air Jordan's opening the box and there's a pair of steel toe caps.

Aah, didn't follow any beta news, cheers. That does sound hopeful then. Liking the game but it is extremely fast (on slow) ... need to reduce sprint, acceleration & passing speed at the minimum.
 
OK,the demo can not run on half of ATI graphics cards.
Many ATI players have a problem with crash .

Graphically really well (except turf which was better in FIFA 16), however, I'm feeling like it is a FIFA 16.2..

I love playing on the closest camera that is available in the game. Dynamic - 0 height, 20 zoom. However, it works properly only on newly added stadiums in FIFA 16/17. On rest of them camera sliders don't work at all and it is pissing me off. Quite shameful for EA to don't get it fixed since FIFA 13?

This frustrates me every year that EA Can't improve the Camera sliders, they're that ineffective that they may as well not exist.

I also wish they had an angle modifier just like in PES. I like the new default camera and the dynamic pan in and out of the pitch bit an angle option would be heaven for me.

In the past I always played with it turned off, don't like using it, I have peripheral vision for a reason, I play on a 40" monitor for a reason ;)

I understand. I have a 58" monitor and the details are spot on. In the future it will be even better with the graphics. For me it is just a waste that I can't enjoy the details with a camera other than dynamic camera. Everbody has it's own reasons of course.
 
Played a few games of FIFA 16 and the FIFA 17 demo, and I think I like FIFA 16 more at this point.:CONF: FIFA 17 demo feels quite similar to 16 to me, but the weightier feel of the players and ball in 16 feel better. Love the new lighting in FIFA 17 though.
 
I'm the same as Placebo, I always turn the radar off.

I play with Tele Broadcast Cam. Custom settings of Camera Height of 20, and Zoom of 0.

That's what always annoys me about Fifa demo's, is the fact that you can't save your settings, I also play Fifa with PES buttons so X or Square is shoot, and change the defensive controls to match PES too. So annoying to have to change these settings everytime I load the demo up!

There is something on the bottom of the screen called radar. It is very helpful.
Click to expand...
Ah, so you're spending your time looking at little coloured circles, instead of at footballers. Yup that sounds much more detailed :SMUG:

(I use the radar as well as zooming out - that way I mostly look at players but can use the radar for general defensive positioning or to spot long ball opportunities. Details are great, I look at them in replays.)
 
After some more matches (8 min, legendary, slow) this is my summary:
-gameplay speed is ok (similar to 16)
-AI seems a bit better than in 16
-passing % for AI is still waaaay too high (around 95%!). It will probably be somewhat better with sliders.
-still not enough fouls (fouls sliders, EA, please!)
-protect the ball by AI is overpowered (I could't push or outmuscle some small Japanese with Fellaini. No foul, too).
 
It's growing on me the more my brain forgets how the PES demo felt and gets used to FIFA's style.

The delay on passing I can kinda accept now as it does seem relevant to your players position. No more animations snapping to pass instantly or pin point wrong foot passes.
It still kinda annoys me at times where I think I've pressed pass but haven't but don't want to press against incase I set up the next pass without meaning to.

I'm not sure if I heard the crowd right too but I could have sworn I heard them shout "SHOOOOT" at one point in a Manchester derby. Hopefully I did because I've wanted to hear that in a game for the longest time.


4 min halves on ps4 can go suck a dead dogs dick though.

It's not the lack of instantaneous passing that worries me its trying to clear the bloody ball when the super AI are on the attack.
The 4 min halves are a shocker yeah.

I still wish with all my heart and soul that PES would steal the net sound from fifa as well as the pre match training challenges.
 
I love the new physicality in this game im bossing with Ibra using his strength to get players off the ball it really is a beauty to behold. I would agree with the comments here about passing possession on legendary seems way to CPU op with 90%+ ratings.

So many little things I try to get into PES every year but I just cant something does not feel right for me with that game it nowhere near Fifa in terms of all round package.

Longs shots are fantastic just little things in the game I love playing with my team even if im losing most of games on legendary still having fun.
