PapOiteE 465 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 For those who don't know, FIFA 17 will come with a new engine... Dice's FROSTBITE! I can't wait for the trailer, I expect high quality graphics and tons of new animations.... And portuguese stadiums as well! A demo will be available in September as usual.

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 The new engine is awesome news, looking forward to it. Street Mode sounds good as well, I love the skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,173 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We should try to get an XDBX team together and school some other teams in the beautiful game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Would be nice! I've tried to set something up in FIFA here since 14 I think, someone else can try now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,173 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) I can be quite manipulative! When it's out I'll start up a big drive. I'll put a sign up sheet in the canteen and everything. Edited August 30, 2016 by LimeGreenLegend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banketelli 3,655 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Player ratings are out and they have caused a shitstorm on twitter. And rightly so. Ronaldo rated higher than Messi. What are you smoking, EA? No matter how good the new engine is, this will be the most unrealistic FIFA in many years. I'm afraid it's my duty as a Messi fanboy to boycott the game. Will have to check with the union on that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo is one of the best headers in the world, much better than Messi. Can't really find a weak point to his game. I never sign either of them in FUT, they're way too expensive and I get better success with tall and powerful strikers such as Andy Carroll.

The height he gets is insane. But it's not like Messi is a bad header. At 5'7 he's obviously handicapped, but he has scored some excellent headers. The weak point to Ronaldo's game is that he can't do much on his own anymore. In Madrid it's all about setting him up. He's maybe the best poacher the world have ever seen, but that's also it. Messi does it all; he controls the game, beats opponents all over the pitch, his through balls are insane and while Ronaldo has moved closer and closer to the goal, Messi has gone the opposite way and yet he's still able to almost match Ronaldo's goal stats. It's probably no surprise, but for me it's not even close between the two. As for in FIFA, with his speed and shooting stats, Ronaldo has always been the player to go with. Used to hate playing online against Real. Edited September 3, 2016 by Banketelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately in Online Seasons I'm never against Barcelona or Real as my favourite team is never above 4 stars Yeah, maybe I should find me a team that's not 5-stars. Anything to avoid Real and Bayern. Never had much luck playing with Barca. Always end up dribbling my way out of the stadium. First with Messi and then Neymar. Can't have a player with 5 star dribbling in my team. He'll be the only one touching the ball.

Chewy 612 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) @DavidCore89 Not madly, but my folks are originally from there. I'll check in on their progress on occasion, but apart from Bobby Zamora couldn't really name their best players.

They're probably my favourite team from that league, been hoping they would reach the Premier League in the last few seasons, they got close last season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapOiteE 465 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I can't wait! Back in the ps3 days I had a north american psn account so I could dowload the demo one day earlier. I don't know if this is still possible to do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
