EA Sports announced some new features of FIFA 17 yesterday at E3, and some of them are just mind - blowing.
Probably the biggest new feature added to the game is story mode. Its considered "the biggest new FIFA mode since Ultimate Team". The story mode is called The Journey and is somewhat a RPG set in the football/FIFA industry. The player takes control of rookie Alex Hunter as he starts his career with a club, that you can choose, alongside his friend/rival Gareth Walker(Does this remind anyone of Ash and Gary from Pokemon?). You can shape Alex's personality - from being an egocentric upstart to a modest team player - and his relations with the manager and teammates.
In addition, the outcome of every match you play can affect the plot. For example, if you get carded, you will have to explain yourself to the manager or if you score the winning goal, you star in a press conference or interview.
I feel that this game mode is the greatly modified version of 'Be a Pro' mode in the older versions of FIFA, where you can create your own character, customise his skills and his physique and choose a club for him.
Frost Bite:
Frostbite is a game engine developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) which was and is used to make all the Battlefield games in the series. The obvious implications are better animations,graphics and lighting but the most important change is that Frostbite is a generic engine that has been used for first person shooters like Battlefield, third person shooters like Mass Effect and for an action-adventure like Mirror's Edge. This is actually going to be useful for the new story mode the game is going to have.
Artificial Intelligence (AI):
You might be wondering that since FIFA 17 is developed on a generic engine like Frostbite, its main focus will shift away from football. Well, actually you are wrong! FIFA 17 is going to come out as a balanced game. The AI for teammates and opponents has been totally revamped. Teammates will now stand in position and run diagonally depending on the angle of the ball.They will be much busier on field - signalling and treading in an and out of the 18 yard box.
There are still other modes EA will reveal in the near future, but what I really want to know is whether this story mode will make FIFA 17 like the Need For Speed story mode - A DISASTER!!
