Holy crap, the upgraded to the frostbyte engine. This could actually have amazing player models and player movement. Well have to wait and see. But this could be very promising.

However, that wont mean a thing if the core game play issues still aren't addressed.

Re: FIFA 17 Reveal Trailer

So.......FIFA 17 will be on Frostbite Engine.

Now I´m interested in FIFA again and I hope, that it will be marvelous.

Will Vulkan be supported in Frostbite Engine? Because I want to see this Game on Linux

Hope with frostbite engine we get to see way better pitch wear and believable weather with rain and such.....also hope this brings better ball physics and player animations and at the very most i want to see solid 60 fps

Did I see a manager featured in the game? Long, long overdue. Add the sideline to the experience!

I told myself that I wouldn't get too excited this year...but here we are.

Managers in the game? Cool, but do they bring their own specific philosophies to the game or is this just more FIFA gloss? Frostbite engine? Cool, but until this dev team changes their priorities from Ultimate Team to legitimate gameplay improvements this game will remain the same. Tough to be optimistic.

There's no way not to treat this as huge news, I reckon.

Hasn't it long been known that there are kernel issues with the Ignite engine that limited what devs could do?

Like, perhaps they can now more readily write different characteristics of the game based on dynamic user choices?

Totally wishful thinking.

As an aside, it might be because I took such a long break, but I've been really enjoying FIFA 16 again. As it has entered into its comfortable/predictable age since release, I am pretty happy with its nuances, however few there may be. hah.

I wonder if FIFA 16 was was essentially the second priority title last year (like the way you see a previous gen title in the debut year of a new gen) while the majority of the work was going into 17.

New engine, new issues I'd assume. I'm not too confident in EA using Frostbite on this game. No matter if they use on other titles. Would take a lot for me to change me mind and not switch over to PES. 16' was sorta the last straw for me and the some ol' FIFA issues.

I wouldn't doubt it. PES did it with PES 13. FIFA 16 has been the best, for me, that combined everything from FIFA 13 and on, just like PES 13 was the best of PES 2009 and on. So who knows.

Big news about Frostbite. Will this affect PC system requirements to get a jolt though? What about customization...oh to imagine FIFA without moddingway is like.....*shudders*.....

Hopefully this year isn't simply a new engine. I made the switch from FIFA to PES last year. Hopefully all teams don't play the same this year and 4th tier teams don't play as well teams like Arsenal or Man U. Despite its issues, teams play differently in PES. Gameplay variety is something EA struggles with across all products (NHL, Madden, FIFA).

It should be interesting to see who puts out the best game this year. FIFA will be best overall due to money, presentation, and licenses. However, I think PES will trump FIFA's gameplay on the pitch. Anyways, next week will be great as both should be revealed!

New engine means some things will no doubt be visually rough around the edges until future versions even them out. A lot of the textures in Rory look great but others need a lot of work.
