Re: FIFA 17 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

I downloaded the PC version of the FIFA 17 demo last night and the graphics look great maxed out on my 'puter. So it's good to know my 'puter will be up to the task of running the game if/when it finds it's way into my library one day soon. But last week in a PES thread, I mentioned I would not be buying PES 17 at full price, and at the same time I mentioned that unless the FIFA 17 demo knocked my socks off, I likely wouldn't be buying FIFA 17 at full price either. Yes the graphics do look better in the FIFA 17 demo over FIFA 16. But other than that, at least for how I like to play the game, I do not notice much difference between the two releases and since the game will cost me $80 CDN (yes that's not a type-o, $80 is now the going rate for the base games ... ugh), is the improved graphics of FIFA 17 worth the added costs when FIFA 16 plays almost identical? In otherwords, the FIFA 17 demo did not knock my socks off. I would like to play it one day, but I think I will wait for one day when it goes on sale and continue to play FIFA 16 in the mean time.

PS: oh and I did edit my localize property file in the FIFA 17 demo folders adding a couple of property entries which allowed me to extend my halves to 10 minutes instead of the 4 minutes the game seems to be locked on. Playing 10 minute halves is so much better.

Has anyone else with the PC had their videocard fan kick on a lot? I'm running it on Ultra, and my fan is always kicking on. No other game does this. Titan Black.

I have the nVidia 950 GPU and no in my brief time playing the demo last night on the ultra graphics setting (less than one hour in total), I did not notice any unusual fan activity coming from my GPU.

It is really hard to take much you see from this demo to heart. I'm sure the game play will be different in the final build, plus there will be a day 1 patch if history repeats itself.

To me, a lot rides on the tactics actually working. To have some variety among different teams would be fantastic. Holding off on buying until I can see some footage from EA access trial. Anybody else in the same boat?

Yeah, definitely. I'll jump in and edit the PC config as well later, see how 8-10 minutes plays. Demo adjustments notoriously don't account for stamina/fatigue though, so 10 mins may be too high before the players start limping off the pitch.

Spencer is playing the game early it looks like, haven't watched the entire video myself yet. This is player v player of course, so take that what you will...

I am glad I have EA access so will be able to see how full game performs with longer halfs to see results.

Finally had my chance to play more FIFA 17 matches, and the more I played the more I noticed the typical AI crap that comes from EA. I was playing a match with some low end teams (my team was Inter 80-80-79 vs Olympique Lyonnaise 79-78-78) and first half was ging pretty well with some decent scoring chances until I pulled a penalty in the box resulting in the other team scoring on a PK, after that the game changed completely and rendered the AI being basically unstoppable despite me going into menu and changing tactics- I couldn't even keep possession of the ball and the AI would sprint down the field to my net repeatedly just like they did in FIFA 15. It went from a 1-1 tie game in first half to a 5-1 loss. Seeing similar behavior on both professional and world class difficulty.

Ended up getting a red card too just from bumping the guy attempting to kick the ball into my net.

The AI is what I hate most about EA Sports games as of recent, EA can't seem to get it right- AI in PES 2017 is dynamic and sometimes unpredictable.

@Matt10: have you been playing with 10 min. halves in FIFA 17 yet?

I am having heat problems with both my CPU and GPU with this game. Overall it runs like crap. I am playing in 3440x1440 with a 980ti and 4790k. If I knock it down to 2560x1080 and medium settings I can get 60 fps cut scenes but not on gameplay.

Not yet, I plan on taking a look tonight.

I've played about 20 games so far and I still haven't been fouled more than a handful of times combined. That's something that always bothered me about both football games, just not enough players committing fouls.

Weird. I play on 1080p everything maxed and my evga 970 stays under 40 celsius with the fan set manually at 15% 666 rpm
