    With the new physicality Xhaka is fantastic to play with in Fifa 17. He bosses the middle but has great ball retention as well, and monster long shots. He was easily my favourite player during the beta.

        I've played quite a few games, since I received the game yesterday.
        Playing on Legendary.

        - Game speed is obviously a bit fast, even on slow, but that is typical FIFA.
        - I find it is easier to tackle the CPU this year, unless it uses the shielding, which is over-powered. But that works both ways.
        - I haven't noticed too much of the new Active Intelligence System. Offensively, the game feels the same as last year. Although, the new threaded through ball allows for some nice passes into space to pacey strikers.
        - The call for support feature is sort of cool, but it doesn't really add much too the offensive game play. Just a gimmick.
        - The new driven kick is OP. But at least the CPU uses it less than in the demo. It does look cool though.
        - PKs seem a bit easier than in the demo.
        - New corner system is meh.
        - Fouls still don't happen frequently or organically. You really have to goad the CPU via shielding or quick direction changes.
        - Some of the teams DO seem to play differently. I had games using Bayern against Chelsea, ManU and Liverpool. Chelsea let me have the ball most of the game, ManU played a lot of possession with quick passes, and Liverpool played a very narrow, high-aggression tactic, basically ramming you off the ball if you let them and countering fast.

              Tap R1 (on PS4). The team-mate you are aiming at will raise his hand and run closer.

                I have a really nice PC and the first thing I was struck by was how cartoonish everything on the pitch looks. I may need some texture mods or something.

                  I caved and bought both again after I said I wouldn't after playing the demo as I absolutely hated the demo. I will say it's miles better than the demo and have had some fun with it but I still massively prefer PES this year.

                  Offline they did a good job slowing the game down and the physicality is very well done but i don't know if its slowing the gameplay down or the frostbite engine but some of the animations look and feel horrible. At time it looks and feels very jerky. Ronaldo looks like he's having a seizure during his free kicks. I will say that frostbite makes the game look gorgeous during cutscenes or when stationary.

                  The ball physics have been improved over last year but that exponentially increases the problems of what has always been my biggest pet peeve with FIFA and that is dumb non aggressive teammate ai. I feel like unless i control all 10 outfielders I am going to lose every lose ball because your ai teammates won't move toward a ball either in a loose all situation or closing down a pass.

                  Online I'm not even going into because in my opinion it's just garbage as it's just a flat out arcade game.

                  In the end I think ill wind up having some fun with journey for one playthrough and a career mode that I play around with a bit because they did a good job increasing the challenge posed by the cpu and they don't always attack down the flanks. But I think this will be the first year in a long time that a majority of my football gaming will be done with the competition.

                    I'm disappointed to hear this. I have two 1080 gtx cards and I was wondering how the game would look on the pc. I still haven't decided which version to get (ps4 or pc). This is the first year I get back into pc gaming since the '90s. I've heard the pc version is pretty dead online.

                            The lighting is so much better this year. This is a huge deal to me.

                            Very pleased.

                              Played the trial for a bit and didn't really have a chance to get into it much. It was a busy weekend, so I just played a game or two and adjusted a few rosters.

                              Picked the full game up yesterday and played a bit last night. Played a Champions League matchup from yesterday with Leicester v Porto with me as Leicester. Went down 1-0 on a total brainfart from my defense not clearing a ball off of the line. Ended up getting a goal back immediately from Slimani on a wonderful header to the corner of the goal, then got another one a few minutes later from Vardy on a very Vardy goal. Sped through the center of two defenders and fired one right past Iker. Porto tied it up in the 71st minute and I thought that was how it would end, but I picked up the go ahead goal from Amartey who I had brought on for the injured Danny Drinkwater in the 60th minute.

                              Held on to win 3-2.

                              Yeah, this game has flaws, but it also produces really fun games like this one.

                                I have it for pc and run it on a single gtx 980ti on ultra settings at 60+ fps and i think the game looks incredible. Only drawback this year for PC players is since its using a new engine (frostbite) the mods may be lacking this year due to the challenges in breaking down the game code.
