5 things we learned from the FIFA 17 demo

Pace is king once again

With FIFA 16, we saw a more balanced gameplay, where just running through defences wasn’t everything, the last edition of the game encouraged the player to utilise their midfield technicians as opposed to bombing down the wings with the likes of Ronaldo and Bale.

However, in the new game it is apparent that pace once again rules, whilst it is not as damning for your opponent as it was on FIFA 15, the fact that in the demo Man United’s Wayne Rooney can cruise past a Man City back line is rather worrying for those tika-taka fans out there.
