(Just use last year’s slides and change the date.) And when I say early, I mean 40 hours in. The act of converting kids’ pocket money into a massive mountain of gold has been refined to an artform.Ĭompare FIFA 17 with FIFA 16 and the early signs are it will have the same longevity, the same appeal as an online experience, and the same power to ruin Sundays you should have spent preparing for that big presentation at work. 21 years on, it’s actually reminiscent of FIFA ’96, which felt like a dreadful grind but rewarded doggedness as a counterpoint to the game-dominating trinity of pace, power and footballing celebrity. The result is that you’re now rewarded for relentlessly battling for the ball or stretching a leg out to deflect a pass when closing down an opponent. It’s probably something to do with the trumpeted Physical Play Overhaul. Player collisions are the best I’ve seen in a football game, though the alchemy behind them is tricky to discern. Not much of a game-changer as far as I can discern then, but elsewhere there are plenty of positives. In practice what it actually seems to do is sporadically prevent your team-mates from making intelligent runs. There’s also a new Active Intelligence System, which sounds like something that tracks aerial threats and downs them with a surface-to-air missile. It’s too easy to loop the ball into the air like that spoon-footed guy your brother brought to fill in at right-back while Jinky Geoff recovers from his vasectomy.
The crossing feels more like Gary Lineker in pants than Jamie Redknapp in a fitted shirt. This year’s game runs on the Frostbite Engine for the first time, just like Battlefield 1, which does take a little warming to. It’s got more new features than Leeds have had managers in the last year-and some of them are class. FIFA 17 is bigger, more beautiful, and better generally. It’s better than a frozen Sunday morning on a five-a-side pitch.

It’s better than FIFA 16, and it’s also better than Pro Evo 2017-or it certainly is on the PC. Which is slightly frustrating, but far from a disaster.Īs expected, this season FIFA is better. Remember Villa? Nonetheless, it feels like there’s a growing risk that FIFA will never quite hit the gameplay peak that its sumptuous off-the-pitch features deserve.
Well, probably not so long as its rival keeps making mistakes like the Aston Villa defence. But surely that won't befall EA’s seemingly immortal FIFA series. Then, usually due to the temptations precipitated by fame, and possibly dispensed as a liquid or powder, the player self destructs, ends up broke, sick or worse.

These mercurial talents are so full of promise, capable of unbelievable skill and destined for even greater glories. From George Best, through Gazza, to Adriano, every footballing generation has its own cautionary tale.
