FIFA 17 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Well this is my short review . Let me start with pes gameplay wise is just way better than FIFA. And I have been buying both games every year from the time the started making them only cause I've never been on a budget and I practically only play all sports games from nba to NHL go madden. And ppl who moaned about pes not having licences well it's pretty easy to put em in with the option files. The think I like about pes is the games feel way more exciting then FIFA. The ball weight is just perfect . FIFA just feels a bit of a drag but I would still buy both. I'm disappointed in FIFA but it's still a must buy . For me

If I kept track of how many times the CPU beat me in possession but didn't even take one shot, or scored on their only shot (most times shortly after I score or near 45/90 minutes), it would be a landslide in favor of that. In fairness, the pattern isn't as noticeable unless you play career mode, but since that's all I play, it's a total drag.

Yeah, that was my experience too. Also in career mode.

AI most certainly lacks variety, but then again every EA sports game has that very issue.

Played a few more games this am hoping that I missed something from yesterday. Sadly, nothing has changed.

Mindless "build up" by the CPU and more of FIFA just with a new engine and some fancy marketing jargon and menus. This demo is an absolute snoozefest.

Czar said it best: "stop playing video games and start playing basketball". Unfortunately with FIFA there have been only a handful of times within the last 8-10 years where I felt like I was playing *plug in team name* and not playing a video game. No matter the package it ALWAYS feels like you're playing against the engine and not the team. No formation adjustments and the "strategy adjustments" happen when the CPU decides it's your turn or theirs to score a goal. Simply put it's just FIFA. I'm sick of the dev team, their philosophies, approach, and priorities.

I'll definitely download the EA Access trail, hoping for different results but with other great titles releasing at the same time I may wait until its a free download from the Vault.

Really enjoyed this goal from Sterling. Dunno how to feel about some aspects of the game. The thing that annoys me most in FIFA this previous years still exists in this demo -- every damn team plays like Barcelona. 85% accuracy in passing the ball...70% possession of the ball. It pisses me off lol

That stripe on City is not right. Seriously, why would kits be so obviously wrong? That better be fixed for the retail copy!

You're right. I just saw Hunter on Manchester City in a pic.

This is great news. So I'll just join the worst PL team.

Did a video with my impressions



I thought the AI was solid first couple games but once I looked at defensive AI tendencies on my recordings on my ElGato I saw how bad their positioning is. Some schoolyard stuff in this video. I do like the physical play overhaul for the human player but the CPU tends to be way too passive because of it. Couple of times where they had chances to shoot or push down touchline but instead posted up a defender and layed the ball off to someone outside the box.
