    Re: FIFA 17 Impressions From The Community

    After a few games, I'm now figuring out why I was holding off on purchasing this.

    The game is not good. CPU has no human element to them, Hull City plays the same way as Barca and finishes with 90 percent pass accuracy.

    If only the team could take a page out of Madden's playbook and actually have the vision to create a realistic game instead of this nonsense they put out. Guess as long as people are buying FIFA points EA doesn't care if the game is realistic.

      Have they fixed CDM positioning this year? Do they stay back when you tell them to stay back at all times? I've been holding off on buying the game but the PES Master League is so barebones and shallow.

      If someone could confirm that would be great.

        This game makes me rage unlike any video game in history, all other FIFAs included. Input lag and inability to control who I want off the ball....

          depends on your formation i think.

          i'm playing a 4-3-3 (holding) with Grujic as my CDM. in general he's in front of the back four protecting them. he doesn't wander if if i'm playing defensively or ultra defensively (tap left on the d-pad) ... and when i got into attacking modes, he will get forward.

          i think positionally this is the best fifa to date. my fullbacks are staying wide, my wingers are running into space out wide, or cutting in if i tell them to (in the tactics set up box). mids are staying central etc etc

            That's good to hear. 16 was near unplayable for me with how the CDMs acted. That combined with RM/LM dropping so deep you ended up with a back 6 and I shelved the game by February.

            Great to know they've at least resolved that. Sliders can do the rest. Thank god for Amazon Prime - I can get stuck in tomorrow afternoon!

              Hi there
              I am really enjoying playing 17 on PC. It's a big improvements on its predecessors. I play at 4K maxed out and modded with reshade sweetfx. It looks stunning on my 58 inch panel.
              Last years game took me nine months to get right!!
              This years is superb out of the box. The gameplay is fluid and open. Last year was so boring.
              A major problem is that the midfield and attack are out of sync with the wingers. I play old fashioned direct football( as Leicester did last season) but my wingers are always stranded without anyone to cross to.
              Hopefully there's a way around this.
              I usually only play career mode but I've also tried the journey and I like it.
              Overall this is a superb game. It's addictive. I may have to drop down to world class in my career as its so hard. Especially with a lowly team like Sheffield Wednesday
              I've started my own YouTube channel. I upload in 4K. So those with the right kit can watch in 4K.


              I did try the game on ps4 and my PC version is obviously streets ahead visually. But so it should be.

                I'm having a great time with Fifa 17. I've mostly been running the story mode and a bit of my career with New York City FC. I was struggling a lot on World Class during the beta, but things have gotten better for me in retail. Don't get me wrong, these are still tough games, but at least I'm scoring goals now.

                My last two games were a bit of a reversal of fortune. I ended up giving up a goal in the 90th minute to lose in the first one (AHHHHHHHH!), and then I came back to force the draw late next time out. Hopefully I can keep the drama to a minimum in our next matchup.

                I generally play a lot of online seasons and co-op, but I didn't get into those too heavily yet. I'll probably dive into that more over the weekend.

                  The player switching does need to be fixed, seems to be plaguing EA games lately, NHL 16 and 17 also has this issue.

                    Yeah I've noticed some peculiar player switches as well.

                    I don't know how long the Journey mode is but it's really well done IMO. As a fan of 1st player experiences I'm enjoying my time with it. It might get repetitive and scripted but so far so good.

                      Choosing organized rather than free form in your CTT will also limit position swapping, other factors notwithstanding (att/def mentality, CTT values, instructions, user input).

                        I feel like tactics function correctly (for the most part) and positioning is as good as it's ever been in the series.

                          I played my mate on the demo last night and the switching was ridiculous.

                          You just cannot switch behind the ball.

                          Wait fullbacks are holding position???
                          and a CDM is sitting in front of the back line?

                          Can you provide some evidence?

                          Sorry to be that guy but that is actually revolutionary for this game.

                            I too believe that the tactics and team mentalities (att, def lvl) work.

                            I played a game with Everton at home vs Tottenham . Tottenham pressed me SO HARD. It was unbelievable, I could hardly get out of my own half. After that I played a few Bundesliga games and the AI defense was slacking off me considerably, not pressing until after the half way line.

                            It seems this year as well that your HUM AI teammates are very responsive to the team mentality, if you raise the attacking level they will bomb forward, and vice versa if you lower to a more defensive level. May be just me but I didn't think it mattered much what lvl you were on last year.

                              Definitely. I played a team last night that was pressuring me like crazy. Hadn't come across anything like that yet. I was struggling getting it past midfield. They were intercepting everything.

                              I ended up switching to a counterattack tactic because of it. Once I had more guys back to absorb the pressure it made runs of our own a tad more manageable. They would've killed me if I didn't do something.

                                Yeah and also (at least in the kit selection area) many teams have similar looking kits. It's like the colors don't pop enough.

                                You get a team with a weird muted orange kit for home and a not true black kit for away vs a team that has a dull red kit and a darkish gray away and you have to pick new teams.

                                I played a friend online last night holland women vs china and we only had one way to go without the kits clashing.

                                The majority of the kit colors seem to live in the same value region.

                                I never thought about this in any other fifa. It's something peculiar to 17 and this frostbite engine
