You can simulate the sessions if you want to skip them, but if you do you’re less likely to improve and you’ll usually be awarded a lower grade – which might not help if you need to impress the manager after a 6/10 display in the previous game. Konami knocked it out of the park with pro evo this year and it was up to EA to try and win back the real football lovers. The game cleverly knows if you’re trying to dink the ball over the top of defenders with the outside of your foot. These don’t make a whole load of difference to overall gameplay, but they help things flow, and look, better. As an annual release, it can be tough to imagine how FIFA will continue to keep itself at the top of the table.

FIFA 17officially launches in North America on Tuesday, September 27 and releases on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. To pull one off, you first need to get yourself into the 18-yard box, then when you think you've got a clear path to the goal, hold down Circle or B to power up your shot. In one thrilling moment, as Jamie Vardy hared past my back line, I brought a defender across, putting him under just enough pressure to force him to rush his shot, which whistled over the crossbar. Now you can use the keeper to initiate a potential counter attack or break by pressing R1/RB to initiate a driven throw or kick. No Geral ficou melhor que os anteriores, com ressalva da cobrança de penalti que ficou bizzarra, muito esquisito aquilo.Elsewhere, there’s such a sprawl of modes and features that it’s impossible to cover them all in detail - suffice to say that FIFA gets more comprehensive and overwhelming every year. In many ways it’s a resounding yes, but FIFA and PES are now more different than ever, and that’s a good thing. On the pitch Fifa 17 still has no man marking and if your Captain comes off who comes on gets picked to be Captain and that Electronic Arts is absolutely astonishing.

FIFA 17 is another strong entry in the iconic series, and one that looks to lay the groundwork for future titles by switching to a new engine. I already have the latter so of chief interest would be how it measures up versus prior releases in terms of the actual football gameplay.The way you perform in the matches, and training, helps determine whether you’ll be on the bench or in the starting XI. You'll pretty quickly learn that there's no disgrace in dumping any player that has potential of less than 94 and concentrating on the burgeoning next Messi-types that will arrive in spades if you put a bit of your transfer cash the way of your youth development. I instantly likened it to some crappy straight-to-TV football film, or the laughably bad but also quite entertaining Goal!

But in the most odds-defying 12 months of football I can remember, can the latest update to the beautiful game’s most popular sim still stand tall against Konami’s fantastic PES 2017? But while I did wonder if having to adjust your position in the run-up to penalties might be a needless complication of what should be a simple process, I’m sure plenty will appreciate the greater nuance – and, admittedly, it does add to the pressure. The hyper-realistic graphics are great, with facial expressions finally helping players look more than mannequins.Taking free kicks and corners in Fifa has always been a point of contention - sometimes it was super accurate, and other times the digital versions of the world's best players moved like 40-something Sunday footballers.

Well, while it's always tempting to gun for the biggest established names in the beautiful game, you'll find that signing some of the best up and coming talent is a surefire way to start upsetting the biggest clubs. You can just simulate these if you like, but getting top marks is often easier just by doing it yourself. If you only want the players that will actually climb to the heady heights of super, super stardom (in the game at least) then four players have a potential of 90, the aforementioned Alli, Ousmane Dembele from Dortmund, Renato Junior from Bayern or Anthony Martial from Manchester United. Players will force a header downwards, curl a free-kick or twist their body to spray a ball downfield. He beat Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Real Madrid's James Rodriguez, and Manchester United's Anthony Martial to the punch.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.
