5 things we learned from the FIFA 17 demo

Big gameplay shake-up

With the new Frostbite engine comes some great changes in terms of gameplay in FIFA 17, from in-play action to set pieces, they’ve overhauled the lot.

Corners are perhaps the best of the set peice changes, with the new mechanics allowing the player to pinpoint the area they want to play the ball into, and the style in which they want to get the ball there which results in far more chances for the side attacking the goal. Furthermore, a big bug off FIFA 16, it’s passing mechanics, seem to have been fixed. Whereas before a pass could go in any old direction, the player on FIFA 17 has far more control around their style of play.
