GameSprout have released a “FIFA 17 FAIL Compilation” through their YouTube channel and it’s equal parts hilarious and terrifying. Whether its some not-so-subtle physical innuendo between the players, some terrifying bodily mishaps and transformations or the rendering of objects where they’re not supposed to be, the release of FIFA 17 has provided us with some fascinating in-game moments.
If you're a video game fan, and, more importantly, a soccer fan, you already know that FIFA 17 comes out today, September 27th. Thinking back to its origins in the 1990s, I ask myself this question: is there a better sports franchise when it comes to video games?
Let's look at the competition. First up would have to be Madden NFL, the 'other' football. Another EA Sports series, Madden NFL began life in the late 1980s and is still going strong today.
We’re less than a week away from the North American release date of FIFA 17, and EA Sports is cranking up the anticipation levels to 11 with the debut of the official television spot for the game.
It’s an advertisement you’re sure to see a fair amount of times over the coming months, but we don’t think you’ll be bothered by that. In many ways, it’s a sort of homage to Manchester United with “The Journey’s” main character, the fictional Alex Hunter, sporting United’s famous red.
Having a bad day at school or the office? Looking forward to making your way home, only to realize that it’s Tuesday and your agenda reads the laundry, a frozen dinner and an existential crises? Well, save those things for tomorrow, because it’s FIFA 17 demo day!
That’s right, at some point today, hopefully before 5:00 PM, the FIFA 17 demo will be released through the various console markets. It’ll cost you nothing and grant you the ability to see what FIFA 17 has in store for us.
With the FIFA 17 release date (September 27th) fast approaching, EA Sports have begun confirming some of the game's major details. Today, we learned who comprises the top 50 players on FIFA 17. While the decision might seem a contentious one, Cristiano Ronaldo has been named as the greatest footballer alive according to his FIFA 17 rating.
Here are the top 10 players on FIFA 17
10. David De Gea, GK, Manchester United: 90
9. Robert Lewandowski, ST, Bayern Munich: 90
8. Jerome Boateng, CB, Bayern Munich: 90
EA Sports have released the official gameplay trailer for FIFA 17 with the latest installment of the wildly popular soccer simulation due to hit shelves on September 27th in North America and September 29th around the rest of the world.
So, what does the official gameplay trailer for FIFA 17 reveal?
They’ve got the managers nailed down.
Pro Evolution Soccer, Konami’s rival to the EA Sports FIFA franchise, will be celebrating its 16th edition this year, and PES 2017 looks set to give FIFA a run for its money.
After watching the official launch trailer, I can confirm that I close my eyes and see Andres Iniesta’s 3D photo scanned face. I’m equal parts impressed and horrified.
After announcing that Lionel Messi would no longer grace the cover of EA Sports’ FIFA franchise, a global vote was conducted to determine the FIFA 17 cover and the new face of the game.
3.1 million votes were cast to decide between Manchester United’s Anthony Martial, Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus.
Alright. Let's make one thing clear. I'm just as excited for FIFA 17 as anyone else. I love soccer video games. Even Pro Evolution Soccer is coming back in a big way, and that stokes up so much nostalgia in me, I don't know what to do. I mean, Pokemon is back, Star Wars got a reboot; the only thing left is to bring back Merlin football stickers and pogs and I might as well be six years old again.
Every year, the latest edition of the FIFA franchise promises spectacular changes, but, apart from minor adjustments here and there, the football simulator remains largely unchanged. FIFA 17 is looking to shatter that precedent by rolling out an abundance of changes this year — none bigger than the highly publicized switch to the Frostbite game engine.
