I may play the retail version of The Journey just to give myself a change of pace. Sucks that I'm forced to play on my most hated team Man U but it is what it is. Does anyone know how long The Journey runs? I can't imagine them having cutscenes and dialogue beyond one full PL season.

I might be wrong but I think for the retail version you can play The Journey with any premiership club

The first gameplay patch of a new Fifa release is based off feedback and data from both the launch version and the demo. They talked about it a few years ago, with 14 I think. Unless this changed with 17, this has been their approach for a while now as far as I'm aware.

Do you think that it's possible that the sliders have been omitted from the demo so that EA can collect more consistent data for that first patch.
They can collect data from the base difficulty levels as opposed to a gamers custom settings.

A lot of mixed reactions here just shows you everyone has a different interpretation of how the game of footy is seen through their eyes which is not a problem it is the worlds favorite sport for a reason. About to get a few matches in a see how I feel since I can't sleep right now.

Yeah I'd say that's possible, especially considering that the beta had sliders and there is no logical reason for removing them.

It's also possible that EA are hopeless clownshoes as well.

Enjoying the impressions from all.

I played quite a few games on world class. I enjoy the game. But the thing that's killing it for me is the op shielding. Whenever the cpu shielded me, there was nothing for me to do. I was mashing the tackle button and nothing would happen. Any tips on that?
Also, the cpu occasionally throws some inaccurate passes, but more often than not, their passes are right on the money. Almost robotic. For me, if those things can get fixed, the game would be perfect.

Has anyone else noticed framerate dips during gameplay (PS4)?

Otherwise I think the game feels great, after playing this and the PES demo it feels like it has a weight to it that PES doesn't, although I realise that is an incredibly vague description.

Not feeling it, I always try it, but it lacks for me (as a offline player). Im sure online H2H or teams etc, its good fun... but playing the AI is tiresome, I dont have that feeling from it.
