FIFA 17 Trial Available For EA Access & Origin Access Subscribers, Play For 10 Hours

I'm hoping the PC trial starts tonight. Downloading on Xbox One right now. Unfortunately it looks like the mods on PC might be limited this year due to the Frostbite Engine. That along with the traditionally nonexistent support for the catalogue on PC could mean the PC version's only saving grace is the extra graphics options and 4K resolution.

I had to click on it in the EA Access App even thought it said "Coming Soon" which took me to the store where it said "Free Trial". Didn't think I had it at first either.

No mods or catalogue!?

Surprised that The Journey is limited. Any reason why?

Spoilers would make the most sense

Most everyone at Moddingway is pessimistic about the mod this year. And EA never update the catalogue on PC, so whatever is in it at launch is usually what stays throughout the year.

Edit: Looks like the file structure is being decoded now. Files will need to be decrypted for modding to be possible.

A few quick observations. Sliders are in, same as years past. Under the main settings where you change difficulty level and game speed ect there is a new option that wasn't in the demo or past games. Player uniqueness(spelling). You either have attribute uniqueness on or have all players even at a rating of 85. I honestly believe it was set to uniqueness off for the demo and all players were at 85. That might explain why each team was even to play against. Without touching sliders I am already seeing more errant passes, poorer first touches and more fouls. Haven't played enough to really see if teams play different from one another.(only played 2 games).

Very interesting impressions Ben. That all sounds like a real positive thing (vs the demo). It really felt like Gamba Osaka was as good as Real Madrid, but I wasn't sure if it was just me not used to FIFA 17.
