For all the adjustments and additions that don’t quite work, you can hardly accuse EA Sports of not trying. Some might argue that the new systems for set-pieces and penalties are changes for change’s sake. But while I did wonder if having to adjust your position in the run-up to penalties might be a needless complication of what should be a simple process, I’m sure plenty will appreciate the greater nuance – and, admittedly, it does add to the pressure. All told, there’s still plenty of room for improvement, but the on-pitch action is an advance on last year.

Fifa 17 review – new story mode and on-pitch tweaks keep veteran in the game". theguardian.com. 30 September 2016. Archived from the original on 20 March 2017 . Retrieved 2 February 2017. Some familiar FIFA annoyances rear their ugly head again – notably the pesky referees. Penalties are given for the slightest touch in the box, and yellow (and red) cards are handed out seemingly for challenges that shouldn’t even warrant a stop in play.

It can be frustrating at times, especially when you think your player is going to curl the ball into the top corner and he instead smashes it over the bar, but there’s nothing more satisfying than successfully finessing a long-range shot and have it nestle in the corner of the net. It sounds odd at first having a single-player campaign in a football game that isn’t completely about management, but it’s hardly something new. 2K has been at it for years with its MyCareer mode in the NBA series, with the mode becoming increasingly popular with each iteration. Spike Lee even directed last year’s version. a b Loveridge, Sam (12 June 2016). "FIFA 17 is getting a story mode and here's why". Digital Spy. Archived from the original on 15 September 2016 .

And if the new Frostbite engine hasn’t had a tangible effect on the way FIFA plays, it certainly has on the way it looks. The broad, round-shouldered players of last year are gone, replaced by models that look much more like actual human beings. With better likenesses, including all 20 Premier League managers, in visual terms FIFA 17 is a clear step ahead of its biggest rival. Penalties are a different story, and I actually much prefer the changes there. You can alter your run-up and there’s much more control. It takes some getting used to, though. Right from the off, it's clear that a lot of time and effort has been pumped into The Journey. This is a mode that could have very easily ended up being a complete cringe-fest, but it actually feels authentic to some degree. Indeed, there's a surprising air of realism here in the storytelling; yes, it's obviously dramatised, but it's hard not to become immersed in Alex's potential rise to Premier League fame. It certainly helps that it features some decent voice acting from a range of supporting characters, even if the dialogue can sound like it's trying a bit too hard to be down with the kids at times.
