For starters, you can now choose the look of your manager from a selection of preset models. Naturally, most of them look like grumpy older geezers, but it's a welcome addition nonetheless, and it means that you don't appear totally out of place next to existing Premier League coaches, who, by the way, are now fully modelled in-game. And yes, it goes without saying that a good number of them look like really creepy animatronic waxworks. 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.

It can be frustrating at times, especially when you think your player is going to curl the ball into the top corner and he instead smashes it over the bar, but there’s nothing more satisfying than successfully finessing a long-range shot and have it nestle in the corner of the net.

So which promising youngsters should you shoot for? For Fifa 17, Tottenham's Dele Alli has a rating of 90 out of 99, making him the best young talent in the game. Charly Musonda - currently on loan at Real Betis - is another top choice at 88, as is Chelsea's Kurt Zouma at 89. There's also the 'Ones to Watch' feature, which boosts the stats of a card based on that player's performance in reality.

I too had misgivings about The Journey – FIFA 17’s name for the story mode – when EA first announced it. I instantly likened it to some crappy straight-to-TV football film, or the laughably bad but also quite entertaining Goal! movie series. In many ways it’s just like that, but I have to give props to EA (and BioWare who assisted with the story) for how well it’s been done. There are two huge changes to FIFA 17: the move to a brand-new engine, Frostbite, and the focus on a story lead ‘campaign’.

Out of interest, are the photo-realistic Managers given tangible personalities in terms of favoured tactics and substitutions? Want to build the very best possible team in Fifa 17? Well, while it's always tempting to gun for the biggest established names in the beautiful game, you'll find that signing some of the best up and coming talent is a surefire way to start upsetting the biggest clubs. And if the new Frostbite engine hasn’t had a tangible effect on the way FIFA plays, it certainly has on the way it looks. The broad, round-shouldered players of last year are gone, replaced by models that look much more like actual human beings. With better likenesses, including all 20 Premier League managers, in visual terms FIFA 17 is a clear step ahead of its biggest rival. Based on the changes EA Canada has made to the Fifa formula, and how it affects the general flow of the game, your choice of formation will now have a much bigger impact than it did in previous incarnations of the series. For TechRadar, the 4-3-3 formation has proved the most bountiful when it comes to goals. FIFA 17 is in under the microscope in Digital Foundry's latest comparison video, as the publication takes a look at how the newly implemented Frostbite engine impacts the game's graphics. Now EA's primary engine, Frostbite has powered current-gen titles like Dragon Age: Inquisition, and it's being used for upcoming games such as...Some familiar FIFA annoyances rear their ugly head again – notably the pesky referees.

[4] Gameplay [ edit ] At the most basic point, The Journey is simply a career mode with some fancy acting and a simple story. That’s far from a bad thing, though.I enjoyed the demos of both FIFA and PES. The commentary on FIFA is a turn off for me. One of the reasons I quite like PES at the moment.
