I disagree. Lack of detail aside, I played over 700 games of FIFA 16 offline in various career modes, most of them going 5-8 seasons. Is it perfect? No, that's why we have a thread like this to get it somewhere it's enjoyable.
That said, I don't see how if FIFA 17 is like FIFA 16, I personally haven't played many games with my EA Access copy, that it wouldn't hold up the same way.
Anywho, I'm looking forward to the community's slider set.
