FIFA 17 - Standard Edition (Xbox 360)

Most of the negative reviews seem to be focussed on "the journey" mode being absent in the 360 version. I don't know what this mode is or expected it to be in the game, so I wont mark it down for this and will focus my review purely on gameplay and manager mode.Last Fifa I bought was Fifa 15, since then I've only played 16 with friends. Fifa 15 I found disappointing as they overdid trying to make it more realistic taking away from the fun and I had to go on youtube to find the best settings to improve the game.First game I played on Fifa 17 was a pre season game on manager mode and I knew by the end of the first half they've got it spot on for this one, definite improvement in gameplay from 16 as well.The little mistakes and miss touches arent annoying, they add to the fun as they don't detract from the gameplay. After completing a season of manager mode, there's not a lot different with the setup and function of the mode, which I prefer as I could jump straight in without having to re learn everything. Where it's been great fun to play is with the matches themselves. What I'vefound is the game is so well balanced in most areas that I don't switch off and go into that auto mode which I tend to do for every other fifa I've played before, you have to have a level of concentration as there's variables that happen and this makes it fun to play, constantly. I havent got bored once, it's got me addicted to the game like no other fifa has before. It's saying something when I play a manager mode and didn't sim a match once, not even the pre season games.Love the new free kick and corner system with the cursor, massive improvement there.Shooting is really satisfying, whether it be finesse, normal or drill, the physics are spot on and the realism of shots taken when not in ideal positions or being challenged is excellent.Gone are the days of blasting passes up the field as quick as possible, this tactic will make you lose possesion more often than not. You have to be more tactical and thoughtful with your build up play, which has the effect of making you think about what you're doing more than in previous fifas. The AI has to be commended for this one as well.Defending is much better, fluid and controlled than in Fifa 15. The AI seems to have had an overhaul as well, so defenders do what you expect them toIt has its flaws. The penalty system I don't prefer but can appreciate it adds more level of mastery to it (guess its laziness preferring the old system), the trick pass while holding the left trigger messes me up occasionally as I do like to use left trigger for close control and I feel they've capped the youth system. I found it lot harder to find decent youth players. Also some of the animations used for pre match, post match and trophy winning are still the same as in Fifa 15, they really need to bring some new stuff to the table here.These are flaws I can deal with and it's still by far the best Fifa I've played. They're heading in the right diection again with the franchise and have finally got the balance right between realism and fun

Improvement on Fifa 16 although the screen showing player ratings, scorers, shots etc could be clearer as could the initial team display. Differences in penalties and corners take a bit of getting used to but are also a bit more challenging.

good

Had Fifa 12 before and knew I needed to update. As the players on here are current I have no idea why you would need to buy fifa 18 as this was designed for xbox 360 unlike fifa 18 where you have to get the legacy edition. The game is much more realistic and I've fallen back in love with fifa after playing this

Bit disappointed that the 'all singing all dancing' version doesn't work on our ancient Xbox. So Be aware of what version you can run. Otherwise it's as good as ever!

Had this for my young lad who's just started gaming and loves football, he absolutely loves this game great investment that helps to get him do his school work at home

Came on time for my boyfriend to play on and it works fine doesn't crash or anything it works really good and came right on time. So thank you guys

Don’t know why this is on here don’t member ordering it don’t like FIFA it’s a waste of time and I don’t have any time to play FIFA since FIFA 19. The rest of all been the same boring nothing more you can do really just change players update and make it harder by Mario Kart, much more fun

Le produit est arrivé sans retard. Bien emballé et il marche très bien, mes enfants ont aimé beaucoup.

si me ha gustado, prefiero que sea en español pero no pasa nada aunque me hubiera gustado poder cambiarle el idioma

Acheté pour mes garçons qui adorent le foot. Ils y jouent souvent et adorent même si c'est en anglais ça ne les dérange pas.

Modos diferentes de juego.

Mon fils avait la démo jouable.Il voulait le jeu complet.Pas déçu, il adore.
