![]() Corners now offer you a cursor to place in the penalty box, with the length of your button-press determining the arc of the ball. ![]() Gone are the ghostly arrows appearing out of dead balls, and as a result putting in high-quality deliveries has become considerably trickier. Set pieces see their biggest retooling in years. But anything that encourages one-dimensional play must be seen as a negative. Whether this feels like a backwards step to you is perhaps a matter of taste - many felt FIFA 16 was a little too slow. It's hard to get a foothold in a match and speed-freaks like Walcott and Aubameyang can be almost unplayable if you come up against a shrewd opponent.

How successful it's been in achieving that is harder to say. What we can be unequivocal about is EA's ambition - to create a landmark release in the series. Whether this comes about from a feeling of increased threat from its candy-dispensing rivals, or some residual guilt towards its loyal fanbase, it's hard to say. Boasting both brand new tech and a major new game mode, it feels like much a bigger step, apart from between consoles, than we're used to taking in a mere 12 months. If EA had gotten a little complacent, you could hardly blame them.Ĭomplacent, however, is not a word you could use to describe FIFA 17. But still we, as a gaming public, lap it up.
