    Simply put, this is the best FIFA game we’ve seen in years and a superb package that will keep you hooked for months.

    Yet another extremely valid and compelling game in FIFA series, with great variety and a very good story mode. Our primary complaint is about lack of fidelity with many players: what's the point of adding so many of them if visual, animations, and stats fidelity is only accurate in the most popular ones?

    FIFA 17 is a great game. The on-pitch action is as realistic as it’s ever been, aesthetically and mechanically, but not without some shortcomings. It’s no longer stagnating like last year’s iteration, but while The Journey is fantastic, Career mode still feels woefully underdeveloped.

    If this is a usual 12 month purchasing decision for you, absolutely no reason to stop now.

    You have to appreciate advancements in the visual department and lots of small but pleasant fixes in the career mode. But FIFA 17 doesn't deserve to be called "the best virtual football game". There are too many issues of different kind and this year PES is simply better. FIFA generates fun (as always) but I think the expectations were bigger.

    Overall, FIFA 17 performs well and keeps the trophy for football greatness, but it can certainly do better. But with the exclusive licensing and creative game modes, it's tough to beat. However, Pro Evolution Soccer is making great strides in competing against EA's series this year.

    I liken this year’s football shootout to musicians. In the current season, FIFA is like Madonna – aging but venerable, full of glitz and entertainment value, but ultimately lacking substance. Contrarily, PES is like a fiery independent singer, with minimal flash but much deeper soul where it counts most. In the end, both performers might put a smile on gamers’ faces, but FIFA’s bloat and wrinkles are beginning to show, especially with a younger, hungrier upstart nipping at its heels.

At some points i thought i was watching a movie! And the graphics this year are definitely one of the best out of any game we've ever seen they look like you are watching an actual soccer game! Overall this is definitely one of the best FIFA games we have seen in a while and i highly recommend buying it Expand

    Le doy un 6 siendo generoso.

    If you was expecting this to be the year FIFA won "the pitch" back your going to be sadly dissapointed.
    While 17 does have nice graphics and having all the licences for the real teams are nice, it severally lacks in any on pitch depth.
    Now it's time for the annual pro evo comparison.
    Does FIFA have deep a deep customisable tactical mini game that really lets you stamp your mark on a team? Of course not, it's the same as all the other years.
    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.
    Do players still randomly fall over, yep of course they do.
    Do the players look better than they do in PES 17? No not even slightly, in FIFA they honestly look like clay models. The sweat and dirt effects and how the pitch rips up looks really good though.
    The journey is a welcome addition and is really fun.... Until you have to play some football, I feel they have tried to hard on the journey and making the visuals look like sky sports. Doing that they forgot about the important bit.... The football.

    I'm sure if you haven't tried this years edition of PES you can find some enjoyment in this, but after playing PES 17 you notice that FIFA 17 is lacking the love of the game which PES totally has.

    Konami knocked it out of the park with pro evo this year and it was up to EA to try and win back the real football lovers. But they haven't, rather than fix the issues that have been annoying total football lovers since 12, they decided to try a distraction technique which, while at the moment seems to be working. In 4 months down the line when Alex Hunters journey is a distant memory, will I still be playing FIFA 17? No.

    Full Kit W***er the video game it truly is. Dissapointing EA, must do better. 4/10
