So predictably, since FIFA 16 was a defensive heavy game, the next would be a game that would have pace being the key asset to look out for in players. Gameplay Flip-Flops AgainĪs the series has been known to do, the gameplay seems to switch year on year from an attacking based game, to one favouring the defensive game. It’s kind of like playing through an interactive and more modern version of the movie Goal and to EA’s credit, it genuinely offers a great story, even if it is rather brief and predictable. This would see you play as Alex Hunter in a story mode that would have you conquer the dreaded exit trial, get picked up by a premier league outfit and fight for your place amongst the Premier League’s most elite players. So to remedy the situation, along came The Journey. The career mode had been left for dead, which is perhaps still the case today, there had been no real eye-catching mode added since be a pro mode which was close to five years old at this point and overall, many were starting to lose their patience with a game that barely changed from year to year. The key difference being that the others offer a more realistic simulation of modern day football while FIFA offers a much more arcade-style take on the sport with a great deal more licences to back up their title.įIFA as a series by the time of FIFA 17 rolled along had become a stale, money-grabbing machine. However, if you aren’t aware of this series it’s easy to draw similarities from football titles such as Pro Evolution Soccer or Football Manager who also aim to offer their own versions of authentic football gaming. This game plays like any of the previous FIFA titles that came before it. In 2017 however, FIFA would finally attempt to shake things up in the hope of bringing some variety to a very predictable game series. However, with the surge of popularity for the cash cow that is the Ultimate team format, FIFA soon became a re-skinned shell with additions only being made in one area. While the series used to a one that strived for excellence through deep career modes, fun gameplay mechanics and a series of new game modes to keep things interesting.
The FIFA series all the way through the last decade has been a microcosm of EA’s obsession with money and power.
