Real-life soccer players act out their own destinies on the pitch with each passing minute, but that's trickier in video games. FIFA 17's new mode, The Journey, has no shortage of inspirations; every match and season is full of them.

FIFA 17 is a good game but if you're looking for the beautiful game then you'll find it with PES.

There's a lot to be said for the popularity of the FIFA franchise over the past 10 years. Its rise has been pretty similar to that of the real game, to the EPL especially and to the ever growing marketing trend that aligns with the sport.

The Journey is great l Lots of Content l Ultimate Teams with new challenges l Production Value

Annoying commentary l Same AI issues remain l A bit too much emphasis on pace

For all that FIFA promises something for every football fan, from the casual observer to the full-kit fanatic, I still find myself wishing that EA Sports would spend a little more time focusing on the basics.

The best thing a sports franchise can do is take a risk. In the standard annualized cycle, sports games tout smaller improvements that can help the overall experience, but these bumps rarely wow the player.

The Journey is a unique experience; Same enjoyable on-pitch action; Ultimate Team continues to improve; Improved visually

While unique; The Journey can get a bit repetitive; Gameplay needs a new feature

The game is awesome.I'll like to tell,people who have ps4 must buy this game,not only ps4 any gaming consoconsole people must buy this game.This game is for FOOTBALL LOVERS.

Having been a long term FIFA player (since 97) I know my FIFA and have very much enjoyed playing them in the past. I used to buy the new one each year until the last few as I felt that the developers wern't putting in enough to justify spending ￡40-50 each year for the same game.

Following in the footsteps of EA's very own Fight Night Champion from 2011, FIFA 17 introduces a story mode to the series for the very first time. The Journey, as it's called, is easily the headline feature of this year's game, and it's a mode that has obviously had a lot of effort put into it.

FIFA 17 uses the Frostbite Engine which is best known for use in the Battlefield games. I didn't notice a huge difference in general gameplay, with FIFA looking just about as good as it possibly can be, but obviously the engine significantly benefits FIFA's new story mode ‘The Journey'.

For me, football (or soccer, depending on what part of the world you occupy) is an integral part of who I am. While it might sound like an exaggeration, it's influenced the friends I've made, the clothes I wear and, in the example of EA Sports's FIFA series, the games I play.
