jesus. i watched a dudes youtube video of inter vs juve. same commentary to a tee. game looks identical with some minor tweaks. boring.

100% will not buy this year. EA can bilk someone else out of their money.

Computer AI is terrible -

Played on Legendary as Gamba Osaka vs Real

Won 2-0

They had 95% passing accuracy and 1 shot on goal?

Seriously Ronaldo and Bale up front and the AI didnt have the skill or bottle to play any of them in!!

Played further games and what followed was very similar results after another 8 games...

Obviously there is no sliders in the demo but even if there was it kind of feels like forcing or cheating to make all computer AI play better or worse. Essentially making every team play exactly the same when you settle on one slider setting which can be very boring during career mode.

Surely the built in tactics should be the sliders for each team? Making each team individual and unique..
After all isn't that what football is all about each side has its own strengths and weaknesses and its all about tactics and figuring a way to stop there strengths and attack there weakness.

Career mode without any added features but a varied computer AI would make a whole lot of difference to the mode itself.

But instead they have added a new set piece rewrite to a system i personally thought wasn't broken in the first place.

Obviously FIFA is made for packs and online ultimate team but maybe once the journey fails with online users giving it a go(bad opponent AI) they might start to listen for the "journey 2"?

FIFA 18 - Improved AI
FIFA 17 - Online users
PES 17 - Offline users

Peace

You should try playing it yourself before saying that. It's a lot different IMO and this is a demo, the actual game will probably be a bit different from the demo too.

Pace of play is way too fast, no strategy at all, no build up , crappy career mode. Enjoy FUT players, on to PES.

I'm on PC and finally figured out how to play the demo with 10 minute halves instead of 4. Boy oh boy did that increase my enjoyment of the game. Ok it doesn't transform it into an awesome game. Most gameplay complaints are still valid. The AI can be wonky and with little creativity, pass speed can be too fast, defence in the box would make mourinho have a heart attack.

But I now feel that 17 can be a decent upgrade to 16 or something even better if EA patches are in the right direction. I think it's fair to list some things that I really liked:

- Player switching is instant and the player you switch to is immediately responsive. Massive improvement, it was laggy in 16 for me.

- The loose ball ADD seems to be gone. In my last game I noticed a player not under my control sprint towards a deflected ball in midfield! It may sound funny to be amazed by what should be basic logic but still...

- In 16 teammates made many stupid runs when I launched a cross (crosses seem improved in general) into the box or a through ball, paying no attention to the ball and often been called offside. This doesn't happen in 17 and it's great because the game does not reset itself so often and keeps it's flow.

There's probably more, but overall it's a mixed bag. The million $ question for me will be "what about CM mode? will all games against all teams feel like you're playing the same game over and over?".

I can get the Demo Tweaker to work right. Is that the one you used?

I refuse to even play the demo. Do we not remember, year in and year out, how the demo winds up being nothing like the end product after a few patches? The fifa 16 demo is literally a different game from patch 1.03 onwards (there abouts)

Cool, well thanks for offering your opinion on the game without even playing it.
