FIFA 17 (2016 Video Game) User Reviews

One of the Best Fifa's around

[rohanumpleby-34057 · 7/10 · 2 February 2023]

I played this game a couple of days ago and I love it.

Graphics

The Graphics are so smooth in this game, the darker tone from the newer Fifa's I actually think it works quite well, and the pitch is better looking then the newer installments of the franchise.

Changes

The Changes in the Graphics but also the Journey siries which I loved playing as a kid, it's great to play it, not even for nostalgias sake. Just in general it's fun to play because you get to look back at the olden days of Football and look back on what it was like then. Also added the old look not just of the ball, but the tone as being Black and white which was a smart move in EA's defence.

Gameplay

Gameplay in the Journey is smooth, and you can run with the ball fine. However this isn't the case if your playing a classic match, it feels sluggish and dull because of how slow the players are moving. Its also harder to score, it let's you score at a specific time, or if the shot is deflected it could go in. Slow pace of the game didn't work because Football is a fast paced energy inducing game, full of shouting and swearing from the players, especially if they aren't tracking back ' son and Lloris debacle '.

Music

I Think Fifa 17 has one of the best soundtracks, Just my type of Music when I'm wanting to play a Football Match and it works well hear.

All in all good game, Recommended! 7.5/10.

A horrible mistake by FIFA

[rishikmani · 4/10 · 5 June 2017]

Since 2006, I have been played almost all the versions of FIFA. But FIFA17 adds a new definition to terrible, sluggish and extremely slow game play. The offline games usually the kick offs, career mode or the story mode are descent. But for offline features a person does not shell this much money. Following are the most noticeable horrendous gameplay:

1. Playing an opponent during online game, given if you have a lead, there is a very high probability that either the score will get equalized or you might even be outscored at 45' and 90'.

2. Run a player, try to turn them and make a short pass. It feels so odd and unrealistic within game. Who the hell on earth steps back few steps before making short passes. Meanwhile, however far a defender was, he will surely snatch ball away.

3. Even the most sluggish and the most slow defender can run parallel to Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Valencia and many others and tackle the ball away.

4. When the logic said that on any lob pass or corners, never smack the ball from your head, but first chest the ball so that it could be taken by the defender or caught by the goalkeeper.

5. Players do not run, they crawl, it is not like slow game play, it is turtle speed game play. That is not football.

6. Never make a short pass or through pass if you are counter attacking, the ball will never reach your teammate.

7. Why on the earth so many times the ball hits the post, else it will just miss the back of the net.

8. The referees are all drunk, whatever they feel like they give a foul for that. Ah, you are dribbling, yellow card to you MoFo.

9. The FUT online is a holy havoc. I pray you never go into a penalty shootout. Man 5 of my attempts all went straight in goalkeepers hand, such a terrible lag, that finally I have to give up, uninstall permanently and revert to FIFA 15.

May the supreme force be with you if you already caught the FIFA18 gimmick.
