FIFA 17
About the Game
FIFA 17 is a single-player and multiplayer soccer/football sports simulation game. For the first time in the series, a story-driven mode called The Journey is included. This mode follows a young footballer named Alex Hunter, a fictional rising star in the English Premier League. Players guide Alex through the early stages of his professional career, influencing his progression through dialogue choices, performance in matches, and off-pitch decisions.

Players control passing, shooting, dribbling, and defending in real time, while tactical options allow adjustments to formations, pressing intensity, and individual roles. Set pieces have been redesigned, giving greater control over free kicks, corners, and penalties.
