FIFA 17

The story campaign in FIFA 17 does not consist of matches only, since the developers created an engaging plot full of interesting characters you also meet outside the pitch—in the dressing room, onboard a plane, and in other places. The campaign also features dialogue options, which should be familiar for RPG players. The campaign mode was developed by such celebrities as Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur, Tom Watt (the author of David Beckham: My Side) or Marco Reus of Borussia Dortmund.

Mechanics

The basics of the gameplay remained unchanged, and so FIFA 17 for PC, PS4 and etc. is still a football game. Apart from the story campaign, the production also features normal gameplay modes, such as the league mode, friendly match mode, and multiplayer mode. Moreover, the developers focused on upgrading four aspects of the mechanics – set pieces, physical duels, AI, and offensive techniques. Due to that, for example, during a free kick you can run to the ball in many difficult ways, so that the ball will rotate properly. When dribbling, you can block with your body, but it's dependant on how far your opponent is. The AI adapts to the situation in a dynamic way, e.g. by increasing the activity of the players currently not in the possession of the ball or by changing the way they move. The game also features such moves as low shots, through passes, and more.

Technical aspects

FIFA 17 for PC, PS4 and etc. utilizes the Frostbite engine, known from e.g. the Battlefield franchise. The latest instalments utilized the Ignite engine, but because of the introduction of the story campaign, which takes place both on and outside the pitch, the developers opted for a more advanced solution. Thus the footballes, stadiums and other elements look more realistic than ever. This technology was also used to portray several famous coaches, such as Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), Arsene Wenger (Arsenal), Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) and Jose Mourinho (Manchester United).
