    FIFA 17 - sponsored by Visa, MasterCard, McDonalds etc.

    Released 29th September

    Looks like some interesting gameplay additions like driven shots, angled-headers and better keeper distribution.

    There's a new mode called The Journey which looks like a cross between Be A Pro and the ridiculous Spike Lee 'Joint' nonsense on NBA 2K16 (?): https://www.easports.com/fifa/the-journey - you play a kid called Alex Hunter who joins a premier league team.

    Career mode seems like it's had some utterly meaningless additions, with all the same shitty systems still being as shitty as before (transfers/youth/training). But at least we can now, finally, look after our club's Brand Exposure

    The demos out.

    It feels odd, turnings weird, player movement has changed but I'm sure I'll get used to it. They've massively nerfed lunge though so that's my era of being the best local FIFA player over. The set piece changes look interesting but free kicks on the edge of the area are still piss.

    Just switched on the Journey bollocks.

    Mourinho's been replaced by some Northern chancer.

    Oh wait, he's now there on the touchline.

    That flick

    I've scored with my last two corners by just putting it on Eric Bailly's head.

    I aimed for where there was two players, fell to him and he obliged.

    Gonna really force myself to pass on Ultimate Team this season, because as much as the idea of it is great, I always spend money on it like a mug and the game engine is always bobbins. Been playing Fifa 16 online seasons the last couple of weeks and it has been much less annoying.

    Sorry you were not invited to participate in early web start in FUT 17. You will be able to use the Web App once FIFA 17 is released. You will need to have first logged in to FIFA 17 on your preferred platform, and created you FUT 17 Club.

    The fuck?

    Does that ensure Alex Hunter gets some acting lessons? I feel like that's the only thing I'm interested in. It's probably just the Goal movies minus Joss Stone or Anna Friel as some tacked on love interest but I can dream.

    Freq didn't work because you sounded like your brain was melting out your ears and even if you made your character white your entire family, including twin sister, was black.

    Nope. If you see an Italian-American agent try to 'raise da roof' with his black clients, start questioning his mob credentials.

    I just bought a PS4 with this game for £149. Seems a pretty banging deal even though I haven't enjoyed FIFA for a while. Will be up for some games at the weekend if anyone is about.

    They seem to have gone a little overboard with the coin boosts this year. Almost all of them are a grand a game so there must be about a hundred thousand coins to be had from those alone.

    He's actually a recurring character from He Got Game. He's a total scumbag.

    As I hadn't played FIFA in a while and Pro Evo only sparingly the last few years I stuck it on Pro for my first journey match.



    I guess I need to higher.

    Decided to choose Newcastle as my loan destination when I was told to fuck off to the Championship and I'm seriously regretting it.

    I've played 10 games now scoring 10 goals but I'm having to work so hard for them. The style of play that 'Deano' has employed at Newcastle is the slowest, most boring possession game known to man which makes Van Gaal's reign at United look like the most glorious total football ever.

    I'm having to drop so deep to collect the ball to stop players constantly turning, stopping on the ball and passing it around in neat little triangles before one tries to put his head down and run through the oppositions team.

    I had scored in my first 8 matches but then drew blanks against Nottingham Forest (which was eye bleedingly bad) and Man City's kids in the EFL cup (we beat them in possession stats though because those triangles were fucking amazing at 3-1 down).

    I can't wait to be brought back to United on THIS JOURNEY or just sold to some Saudi Arabian team because anything is better than this.

    Started playing ultimate team like a mug, but I'm fucking awful. Getting battered by 5+ a lot of games. Gonna persevere until I'm playing alright and my coin bonus things run out, then perhaps onto seasons.

    Call for a pass. The AI will just maintain possession until you intervene.

    FUThead was my go to site last year but that and Wiz seem to be slow on getting the prices updated this year.

    I do but I'm having to drop so deep to get involved to try and get them to actually attack.

    I'm further back than the wingers and attacking mid to get them moving it out of defence.

    The Journey looks decent, although for some reason you have to play as Patrice Evra.

    Although the story is near enough Rashford's.

    There's always something completely borked with EA. Won't let me do transfers on the web app and it's a load of shit doing it on the console, you just miss out on everything.

    I also lost a game 7-0 with 52% possession. Good start.

    Yes, I was disappointed at not being able to buy people on the web app.

    It's also a bit shit regarding the lack of filters on console when attempting to buy someone. Why can't you sort by buy now price? It's something that is in other EA ultimate team games.

    Picked this up earlier and had a good few games (offline). It's much slower and you're less able to dribble, which is a shame - that's my favourite part of the game. It took a while to get to grips with it but it started to come together. Scored some cracking volleys. Free-kicks seem ok, but penalties and corners are a nightmare.

    Career Mode is as reliably bonkers as ever. I started with Dortmund and have sold getting on for £150m worth of players (Abaumayeng for £75m, my goalkeeper for £25m, Pathapabpopbapothapopapapapalopolis for £30m are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head). I bought in a few potential world-beaters to replace them (Tielemans, Timo Horn, Angel Correa).

    Then, of course, four days before the new season starts Reus decides he's gotta leave and, despite him having recently signed a new contract, The Board say he's gotta go Bayern chipped in with a shit bid but I imagine he'll go for somewhere around £80-£100m, which will leave me with around £200m to spend...or I'll maybe go in for Griezmann using one of my favourite tactics: a cheeky FIFA swap deal.

    I quite like attacking corners now, but yeah, what the fucking hell has happened to penalties?

    I've had 3 so far and all 3 of them struggled to even roll all the way to the goalkeeper.

    I went on a run of scoring from 8 corners in a row across the demo and start of the actual game. I find they're so much easier to actually attack now.

    I find penalties better too, I haven't missed one in those training game things.

    I wish for a slow, horrible, painful death for Matt Ritchie.

    It seems he's always open but always fucks everything up when he gets the ball. He would try and dribble through the great wall of China it seems, however he'd manage to lose possession playing in the Australian outback with everyone else miles away.

    Still can't access the transfer market on FUT. Looks like I need to play more games before I get access to it, but it's a load of bollocks, as it doesn't apply to everyone. And there's no indication of how many matches you have to play. I'm on about 15 so far.

    Did a bit of digging and noticed I had this put up against my account this morning. Don't even know what the fuck they're on about and FIFA 12 came out 5 years ago ffs, why have they decided now is the time to act on that, whatever it is.




    Should have just got PES
