While we think the changes in FIFA 17 are nice and every year the added authenticity in television graphics, presentations and real stadiums are much appreciated. Could all this be provided as DLC? The only way possible is if the engine isn’t overly tweaked and there are only minor updates that may not require a full release. This means one can save on the full price and pay only for the updates instead. Some of them could be optional and others required.
Another tidbit to emerge from EA’s quarterly financial call yesterday related to the company’s flagship Sports division, where CEO Andrew Wilson revealed that FIFA 17 will represent a “major step forward” for the über-popular soccer sim. The upcoming AIFF Youth Cup will be an opportunity to evaluate the progress made by the Indian team for next year's FIFA U-17 World Cup
FIFA 17 is pretty solid game as far as CPU and artificial intelligence is concerned but EA can keep tweaking for more improved gameplay. Right now only the scoreline in specific game has impact CPU gameplay and movements but it will be great if the results in the ongoing season, player transfers, managerial changes can have a telling effect on how the teams play against us. We hope FIFA 17 is a marked improvement over its predecessor. And hope the career mode gets more exciting moments whether you’re a player or manager.
In fact, it should be done in a way that the manager starts a career at a small club and takes it to the UEFA Champions League (known as European Champions Cup in the game) and wins it. It can still be done on FIFA 16 and older games, but with a dramatic storyline. In the same way, we can have a young regional star who can make his way to the biggest clubs in the world. If these changes are included in the upcoming FIFA games, we won't mind spending full price on the franchise each year. While it is undeniable that FIFA 17 plays better than the previous edition, EA Sports continues to introduce new mechanics and remap controller layouts.
This year the big news were body simulations, and a faster type of pass, and these added a new layer to the passing game and brought nuance to attacking plays when dribbles with the ball. EA can finally introduce transfer system where we have Buy-out/buy-back clauses, players running down their contracts on purpose, swap plus cash deals. Career Mode needs assortment, in its stories, transfers, and systems, but above all other people, it needs it on the pitch. Teams should cross the white line using a game plan in brain, and that should be described as a reflection of their AI administrator.
Who right now, are nothing more than text using a screen, and blue suited avatar. There’s just nothing presently there which feels markedly various game to game. And as such there's no sense of managerial competition. We think EA Sports is in the midst of making a lot of across-the-board changes. We aren’t sure if every soccer simulation fan has Internet access to make sure they get the annual DLC updates.
