Some of the new features in “FIFA 17” that are considered direct improvements from its predecessor game include the new attacking techniques, physical player overhaul, active intelligence system, and set piece rewrite.
The game publisher also announced during the Gamescom 2016 held in Cologne, Germany in August that Squad Building Challenges and Whole New Tournament will be in the “FIFA” Ultimate Team even in the old Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
“FIFA 17” also features a new single-player story campaign mode entitled “The Journey” for the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One, and the PC. In this mode, players assume the role of Alex Hunter, a young footballer trying to make his mark in the Premier League.
Alex Hunter is a 17-year-old aspiring football player from Clapham, London. His grandfather is former English striker Jim Hunter, who made 20 goals in the 1966-67 season. Under the tutelage of his grandfather, Alex decided to play as a footballer in the Premier League.
The player is able to select one of 20 Premier League clubs to play for at the beginning of the season. The player can play in an upfield position, RW, ST, LW, and CAM only.
The game’s story mode also features a dialogue wheel that is quite similar to the “Mass Effect” video game series.
