EA went for a big splash by introducing the Frostbite engine and a new cinematic experience into FIFA 17. These new additions result in a more physical, realistic title with even more replay value. However, as you might expect from a blockbuster franchise...

Abstract: Even though I'm a fairly avid sports gamer, I have to admit that I've basically ignored the FIFA franchise for the last few years. As I said just a few weeks ago about NBA 2K17 , my opinion of sports games hinges entirely on the quality of the career mode...
FIFA 17 is visually stunning and "The Journey" is a welcome, if imperfect, new mode to the series. The new title is recognizable as a FIFA title, as any long-time fan of the series can attest to, which can be just as negative as it is positive. It's a fun...

The Journey, Stunning lighting and presentation, Improved animations
