FIFA 17 Reviews
FIFA 17 is a nice little tweaking of a package that didn’t necessarily need it, and as a result, it’s even better than before. If EA Sports can continue to maneuver this series in the direction it’s going, there’s no doubt that it will keep its tight grip as ruler of the soccer world.
As you can probably tell, trying to conjure up faults with FIFA 17 is a remarkably hard task. There really isn't anything I outright dislike about the game, and I know it's going to keep me busy for 100+ hours over the next year. It's both bitesize fun and yet capable of consuming entire weekends. The length and breadth of the modes EA Sports has got in here is now staggering. There's always something to do or a different way to play a match, and it's all backed up by unpredictable moments that come tantalizingly close to nailing the feel of the real game.
While there’s fun to be had in FIFA 17, it’s nowhere close to what it should be. Some fundamental changes to the moment to moment gameplay are detrimental to the overall experience and The Journey mode falls flat. Rather, it’s padded in all the wrong places. FIFA 17 isn’t the best effort from EA but it isn’t the worst either. There is a better football game this year, and it isn’t from EA.
FIFA fans will love the improvements made to this installment. The new journey mode makes you feel like a real football player, and the visual upgrades makes the game more visually appealing overall. More importantly, the overall experience and the various small improvements makes FIFA 17 an excellent game.

FIFA 17 comes with new and improved A.I interplay and much more. Oh, and it's the best FIFA game in a while.
FIFA 17 is still an incremental step up in the series, but considering the bold assertions about what the power of the Frostbite engine would make possible, it is a somewhat underwhelming package overall. While The Journey must be applauded for attempting to offer something genuinely new, it's also not particularly brimming with any new content, either, besides its cut-scenes. With Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 looking very competitive, it's disappointing that this year's FIFA couldn't do more. It rather settles for the top four, instead of illustrating its title credentials. There's always next year, though.
FIFA 17, to me, is one of the stronger entries in the last few years from the EA Sports guys and it’s a pretty great game if you’re relatively new to proceedings
With continually expanding gameplay variety, new online and offline modes, and the introduction of The Journey, FIFA 17 offers an all-around great virtual football experience.
FIFA 17 is a great game to play when you’re feeling bored, and is a definite improvement over FIFA 16. With a competent story mode thanks to the use of the Frostbite engine, great improvements to Career, Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team, FIFA 17 is a welcome addition to the ever-growing football franchise.
EA Sports’ premier title remains the most refined and well-produced sports game out there. There’s something for every sports game fan in there, and the overall package is of immense overall value.
‘Till last year, we could say that FIFA was using off the features it implemented last generation with no thoughts of innovation, But FIFA 17 can be a new start for the series, keeping its roots intact while introducing a new formula. For the audience that are used to the series core gameplay, FIFA 17 is simply the best choice. But it’s early to say whether FIFA 17 is an all new game since the bedrock is still the same as before. But with the new features we’re hopeful for an evolution in the next title, Something that we’ve been waiting for in the 8th generation

Gameplay in "FIFA" may not be quite as refined as that found in its competitor, but it's in a steady place and is generally fun to play.
FIFA 17 continues its evolution with some much-needed improvements in both gameplay and visuals. Career mode offers plenty of new features and the new Journey Mode is really fun to play despite being limited.

Fifa 17 is a good game and it’s very enjoyable. The graphics have also improved. That being said not much has changed.
FIFA 17 improves in areas and then goes backwards in other areas. Journey Mode is a powerful addition and an exciting one at that. Ultimately, FIFA 17 is the best football game on offer as a whole package again this year but better than FIFA 16 I'm not totally convinced.
The big standout this year is The Journey. It's a really nice addition to the series and one that I hope EA carries forward to the next game. Maybe a historical story? The rise and fall of one of the greats? Who knows... Bottom line is that it's FIFA and if you're a fan of FIFA, you're going to be fan of this. Simple.
Bolstered by a surprisingly effective story mode that incorporates slight RPG elements, the quality of which was surely boosted by Bioware stepping in to lend EA a hand throughout development, FIFA 17 also benefits from a rock solid gameplay foundation and the transition to the Frostibite engine, making this an easy recommend to fans of the series and football aficionados in general.
FIFA 17 is another top offering from EA, that goes without saying. FIFA fans will flock to buy it purely because of the value that it holds. All the glorious licensing, Ultimate Teams and The Journey make it a solid product that will have any football fan pleased.
FIFA 17 has something for every type of fan, and The Journey delivers an emotional and touching experience.
With a few friends in close proximity, you can still have fun with FIFA and its nice presentation. But for a real football fan who wants to recreate the moves of Barcelona and Dortmund, this isn't the football game you're looking for.
