EA dumped a lot of new info about FIFA 17 yesterday at the EA Play Conference (and just before). We learned the game has a new story mode and the gameplay is undergoing several key changes -- and that's only the beginning. Let's check out our reactions to yesterday's news after the jump.

The story mode doesn't do much for me, I hate that they've presumably spent so much time on that. That being said, having a new engine is usually a breath of fresh air, at least visually if nowhere else.

I've liked some of the other game play additions they've spoken about as well, although I'm anxious to hear more about improvements to the AI.

Can't wait to see what PES is bringing to the table, I love this time of year!

I'd be ecstatic about the story mode but I'd prefer it if we had one where we can choose who the main character is, not be left with the voice actor's likeness and character name. The Livin' the Dream story had problems but they still let you edit your character, so at least you weren't entirely divorced from it being 'your story'.

I know the BPL is the most popular soccer league worldwide, but that doesn't mean that EA should just cater to that league when it comes to new features in the game. From the inclusion of all the BPL stadiums, to all the players in BPL being scanned, now to having only the BPL coaches and the story mode only being playable in the BPL. Its a wonder that gamers from other countries support this game as passionately as they do seeming that EA doesn't really care about the other leagues outside the BPL.

Someone just posted a link saying they secured a deal with La Liga for this year. They did a lot for the Bundesliga last year. I don't think your comments have a ton of evidence based on this. Story mode is one of many game modes and they definitely aren't ignoring the other leagues. Look at PES who can't secure any actual teams compared to what FIFA does.

My comments don't carry, weight? Well besides the Bundesliga graphics package tell me what else did EA do for the Bundesliga, since they did so much. As for EA securing the La Liga exclusive, who cares, they already have a Serie A exclusive license, what have they done for Serie A lately? Is that La Liga license gonna include all the stadiums like the BPL, I doubt it. Is La Liga gonna have any of the new features being added this year,no. I'm willing to bet that exclusive only includes a graphics package and just keeps PES from using the La Liga logo. PES will more than likely still have all the teams.

I'm hoping frostbite enhances gameplan. I'm not into online as other people tend to ruin to experience. Especially when work doesn't let you play as much to be as good, you want an enjoyable offline game. I don't think story mode is enough. Some enhancements are intriguing, but seem to be more flash and YouTube worthy than core enhancements to change how the cpu plays.
