    It is the case.

    You are correct, in the sense that the demo is not the same build as the launch version. However, the demo is always a very specific build that EA wants played en mass. The first gameplay patch of a new Fifa release is based off feedback and data from both the launch version and the demo.

    They talked about it a few years ago, with 14 I think. Unless this changed with 17, this has been their approach for a while now as far as I'm aware.

        I see they haven't implemented the new rule at kickoffs where you only need 1 player to kick off.

            It feels like...FIFA 09...but a slower version of it. The Level of Detail of the players from any camera look very bland, and is very strange.

            The ball feels like you're playing with a slightly deflated ball.

            The positioning is better than 16 started, which makes it hard to score, which will make EA change the full game.

            So far, mixed feelings. I felt quite bored after playing. Will play a couple more and see how it goes.

                The game looks beautiful on broadcast cam and playing in the night has never looked better.

                  Played 5 games thus far and I am really liking it.Just played Inter vs Juve. Best game of fifa I thing I have ever played. I won 2-1 on a last minute pk by Icardi. Bonnucci fouled Icardi just inside the box. It was a possession driven game. I am really impressed with FIFA 17. It Needs sliders as I find the passing speed a bit too fast. Also need to get used to the free kick and corner kick controls.

                  I really thought pes was a lock this year for me, but after playing the FIFA demo Ithink I may go with FIFA this year after passing on it last year. I couldn't play FIFA 16 for more than 10 minutes last year. Finally we have 2 very good games IMO. Both games are very fun.

                    How are people getting the ai to be competitive?

                    Wherever they go with the ball on the pitch if I go there just before they always turn around and go backwards.

                    It's so blatantly robotic. It's like no matter who the AI has on the ball they only can do A or B computations and when you close down either they do the other.

                    There is no randomness to it at all. The ai is so uber cautious.

                    If you just play zone the cpu loses it's mind even on legendary. Getting way too many AI has 0 shots but has 93% passing matches.

                    I have played every fifa game made and I have never seen the AI be this pathetic.

                      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.
                      Yeah not just you it's a even better looking game that I can't even stomach the other game any more

                        Enjoyed what I have played so far but anyone else think the sound is a little low? Music in menus/transitions are near silent even at 10.

                          It's so hard to judge with 4 minute halves.
                          It obviously looks better, but it's mainly the lighting (which could be done this way in the previous engine as well if EA wanted) and the player faces when really up close. When actually playing you can safely tell it's 17 and not 16...by the different font. So wise move to change it I guess.

                          But that's icing, and i'm not so sure about the cake. Could be the best fifa to date with significant improvements (not very optimistic there), or it could be one to quickly forget. Wait and see for me. Maybe even wait for the first post-release patch as well. It's definitely not as bad as some comments make it out to be, but it's not super fun either.

                          Ball speed is comically fast at times, through balls and cutting inside the box seem too effective, and the back 4 retreat too much at times and seem to be instructed to not bother with marking strikers but to rely on their ball magnets for blocking shots. Yet it's not a goal fest, but it's hard to say whether it's because it's somehow balanced or because...4 minute halves (and if it's properly balanced it's done in a way that sucks most fun out of it, just like 16, IMHO. But again I need to play more and at a proper half length to tell).

                            I played with my Nvidia Control Panel, and this game now is beautiful. Really excited to see the full version.

                              Dunno lads , im really liking it other than the cpu pass percentage this is a really good game,fair, pretty physical, looks incredible , good player weight,Ai plays a good game for defaults, Ball weight is nice i feel , passing feels good.
                              Loving how the keepers come to claim crosses, lot more little deflections had some great goal mouth scrambles.
                              pens are fun.
                              marking and spacing is solid, i think this is a real solid base to start from.

                              Matt should have a field day with this thought he would be more excited.
                              Broadcast cam is a dream to play from.

                                I am super pumped for FIFA 17 after playing the demo!

                                I love the ball physics. It feels much looser and organic.

                                Also really like the new free kick, corner, and penalty system. Love that you can control a player off the ball during a FK/corner.

                                Also really like the ground shots. I've always wanted to be able to slot home a shot in the ground, but you could never really do it effectively.

                                I think I'm more forgiving than most on FIFA, because I get my sim experience from Football Manager, but this demo got me even more excited to get the game.
