FIFA 17 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[C.J.S.]

PS4 demo i'm playing, so first of all this isn't like 16 it's much much better.....
Free kicks are epic!
shielding the ball isn't OP just L2 your defender he will kick it out.
playing PES demo and this to compare. both games are winners this year.
and i haven't liked fifa in years but 17 is special more sim less arcade.
ok, back to my 4min half's..........

So I tested fouls by d/l'ing the pc version and changing the half lenght (to see if 4 mins just wasn't enough time). Still barely seeing any.

For those of you who feel there are enough fouls how are you doing it?

Its hard to get a real feel for the game without changing the sliders. but it plays much better than the beta did.

I've only had a chance to get one match in. It was ok. Nothing ground breaking, but I didn't HATE it. I was Man City and the CPU was Juve. The biggest thing to me was that Juve was actually trying to score. They took 11 shots! I can't remember the last time I was outshot by the CPU. I won the match 2-1, because Joe Hart stood on his head. (I miss Joe Hart) I will say this, I hope these aren't what the final kits will look like, because City has the wrong stripe down the side and the collars looked terrible. Also, the kits fit way too loosely. I'll try and get a few more matches in this weekend, but 2K17 will challenge that. Lol!

Just some "slider" musings of what needs adjusting...

The main thing that can make this game (assuming the demo is the game, unlikely, but still), is the pass speed. If it can be lowered a couple notches, the play should improve a bit more.

In most cases, lowering pass speed will allow the balls in the air to also travel more realistically. At the moment, especially on corners, the ball just dips like a half-volley out of the air, versus any driven strike to it. It makes these crosses look very strange, and the goals resulting from them.

For once though, I feel the line settings (height, length, width) are spot on, and do not need any adjustments.

The acceleration, or Sprint, whatever value needs to slow down the twitchy animations - needs attention. Players are not moving naturally. Can't put my finger on it.

Run frequency is going to need some toning down. Those incisive runs, as expected, are going to make the pace of play chaotic. Should not take much to do, especially if tactics work the way they should.

That's really it, so far. It's a pretty looking game, now it just needs to play a proper game of "the beautiful game".

I think I have the same feeling of un-natural movement, have had this for some time with Fifa.. AI changes directions too quickly and generally does weird stuff, mostly unrepairable with CL.INI so Im on the fence this year, Im getting NBA which looks great and I never saw these issues there. Will hold off with Fifa.

I downloaded the PC version of the FIFA 17 demo last night and the graphics look great maxed out on my 'puter. So it's good to know my 'puter will be up to the task of running the game if/when it finds it's way into my library one day soon. But last week in a PES thread, I mentioned I would not be buying PES 17 at full price, and at the same time I mentioned that unless the FIFA 17 demo knocked my socks off, I likely wouldn't be buying FIFA 17 at full price either. Yes the graphics do look better in the FIFA 17 demo over FIFA 16. But other than that, at least for how I like to play the game, I do not notice much difference between the two releases and since the game will cost me $80 CDN (yes that's not a type-o, $80 is now the going rate for the base games ... ugh), is the improved graphics of FIFA 17 worth the added costs when FIFA 16 plays almost identical? In otherwords, the FIFA 17 demo did not knock my socks off. I would like to play it one day, but I think I will wait for one day when it goes on sale and continue to play FIFA 16 in the mean time.

PS: oh and I did edit my localize property file in the FIFA 17 demo folders adding a couple of property entries which allowed me to extend my halves to 10 minutes instead of the 4 minutes the game seems to be locked on. Playing 10 minute halves is so much better.

Has anyone else with the PC had their videocard fan kick on a lot? I'm running it on Ultra, and my fan is always kicking on. No other game does this. Titan Black.
