They have to provide a deep sliders system like NBA2k. Otherwise it's a complete waste of time.
    I still haven't downloaded the demo but my expectations are low. They had absolutely no reason to move to Frostbite.
    Still better to have bad sliders than none at all.

    If you dont want sliders then just don't touch them? Online they dont matter.
    But why should it be good to remove them from offline gameplay?

    Restrictions in terms of playing are never good. Customization wins when it comes to singleplayer games.

    And yes, the sliders weren't good and I also didnt touch most of them but for some people they really seemed to enhance the game. So why remove them?

    Typical EA move.

    And since they didn't even touch the whole AI tactics they could have just left us with the old sliders.

      Still downloading the demo.
      But has anyone tried extending the half length by creating a cl.ini file? It worked last year, but, new engine...

      (I'm not hyped for the engine switch, sounds like a negligible graphical improvement, but what functionality will be sacrificed in the process this time?)

        This doesn't quit feel like the beta did. I don't mean in a bad or a good way. It just doesn't feel the same. Not sure what it is. Maybe something in the default settings changed.

          This has to be said. I was READY to get my body READY for PES 2017 after the PES 2017 demo .Found a great camera angle liked the slow speed of the game. THEN today the Fifa 17 demo came out...

          THAT ALL CHANGED

          The Fidelity of Fifa 17 is CRAZY. Minus maybe the grass not being as good as 16.

          That said gameplay on slow is near fun and to me there seems to be ALOT more animations in Fifa then in PS 2017.

          I went back to back with each Demo.

          Fifa 17 is everywhere near better in every front.

          Its truly astonishing how much more Fifa 17 looks like a broadcast too. Now i understand PES 2017 and Konami are working with less "licensing" etc, but their stadiums look BLAND. Very samey from the too available in the demo. While Fifa 17s demo stadiums JUST IMMERSE you so much...

          PES 2017 has great things about it but if your not on PS4 PES 2017 is just NOT worth it thanks to the pc version being essentially a last gen tech game and the xbox 1 version not having the file option system in place to be able to fix the licensing on your own..

          So Viva Xbox One and Viva Fifa 17 on it too!

            More of the same. Game speed is good and ball physics are improved. But 90-95% passing from the CPU, fouls are pretty much unchanged, entirely too much space and not enough pressure. Your CPU teammates are useless. If they've made the brain dead decision to eliminate sliders this will be the first FIFA game I won't purchase since FIFA 07.

                  I think what fearwhatnow is saying is that global sliders and the way CTT work in FIFA are flawed in that some sliders affect the way teams play more than CTT (especially since they don't work in CM) which makes sliders have more of an impact.

                  For example, line height & line width IMO should be a CTT as not all teams play with the same philosophies. Some like their FBs to hug the sidelines while others like them to come inside and offer support. I know I'm preaching to the choir as your an FC Bayern fan but I get what fear's saying.



                  In regards to the demo...I recently bought a 4k TV so I don't know if it's the Frostbite Engine, the TV, or a combo of both but on the XB1 the lighting and detail (pitch, adboards, etc...) look incredible. I jumped back into 16 and there's a noticeable difference.

                    The plus side of the demo being bad is it almost assures that the launch version of the game will be good.

                    The game changes pretty drastically from demo to launch, and has pretty much always been the opposite of how the demo played. FIFA 12(or was it 11?)/13/14 were the best recent Fifa games and their demos were garbage. 11/15/16 had great and super promising demos but the full games took 7 months of slider tweaking to make them playable.

                    Just something to keep in mind, the demo is basically one last beta test by EA, and they always end up changing things, drastically even.

                      Yes. It's just nowhere to be found if you're on the PS4 looking at PSN.

                      If I try and queue it up using the link from the first post it just sits as waiting for a long time with nothing happening even though I'm looking blankly at my PS4 waiting for the download to start.

                        That's not the case. A demo is almost always a build from months ago. That is why the final game usually can feel drastically different. They don't change anything in these final 2 weeks based off the demo.

                          Couldn't find the demo in the US PSN at all, finally switched over to my UK account and boom there it is featured right on PSN.

                            Been playing the PC demo, holy crap it's such a good game, I hated FIFA 15 and 16, 14 was a bit bad but tolorable but FIFA 17 is where a modern soccer game should be. Let's hope EA doesn't mess with it from here on but I know they will.

                              It brought me a lot of joy to stop Zaza's penalty as Handanovic.

                                I'm enjoying the game. It's not any revolutionary change, though I don't think that's required. I think the only necessary improvements are more crisper controls and fewer cheesy shielding tactics. Only played 1 match so far but it felt good.
