No, that wasn't mentioned. Thank you for that. I thought I had seen it in the Beta videos I watched, but I'm going crazy with release day Tuesday or something lol.

I don't know what happened here. The cpu is just dumb.

This is on legacy. Me as sounders CPU as PSG

I gifted them their goal trying an RB pass in the back which the game decided to just change into whatever it wanted to give the ball to the cpu.

What happened to the AI? It's not challenging at all.

I tied it up 1-1 with a way more creative goal than this CPU AI is capable of. Match ended and I just didn't care to go to PK's and win because the AI would miss twice.
There just is no soul in this game at all.

It looks ace. But the gameplay is ditzy.

Fired up my first attempt at this with Bayern vs. Inter on World Class.

Overall, I'm extremely unimpressed.

Quick impressions:

1. The football looks like a little pac-man egg and the ball physics are terrible, floaty, and at times utterly chaotic. The ball looks magnetized and moves way too fast when shooting, way too slow when passing. Sometimes, I'm seeing headed clearances on 50/50 balls that look like they've been shot out of a cannon. Some really odd/disconcerting stuff overall.

2. Player animations are as poor as they've been in years. Whether a player is making a run on the wing or dribbling in tight space or back-pedaling in defense, their legs sort of scamper quickly, making them look like children. Also, pay attention to what players are doing on set pieces. They sort of start dry humping each other and waving their arms spastically. I am playing on Slow and find it way too fast in terms of gameplay, but I'd kill to see their arms and legs stop all the damn spasms!

3. Defending is shambolic or maybe just non-existent. Pacers are going to love this game, it's reminiscent of FIFA 13 in terms of how it feels tailored toward individual play. I can grab any speedy player on the pitch and just wreak havoc with him. Sounds like just about every FIFA in that regard, I realize.

4. The game looks like it has been built for high pressure and aggressive pace, hardly a thinking person's approach to football. I'm probably not even going to play the demo much at this rate.

i downloaded the new fifa-16 demo ... aeh .. fifa 17 demo

it almost felt like fif16 ... the same entrances, the same highlights, the same replays, the same atmoshpere, the managers you could only see in PremierLeague?

did they accidently uploaded the alpha-version of fifa17?

i allready knew i would save my $ this year after the inital impressions ... guess nba2k17 will get my $ this year .... looks like a decent 16->17 upgrade.

Man I am a little worried by some of the impressions I won't be able to try it until later this evening but does this feel that much different than 16. I really enjoyed the demo last year but feel like they patched the game to hell. Curious to know what exclusive Fifa players think as well.

I strongly prefer FIFA 16 and don't agree with the comparisons of the FIFA 17 demo to 16 at all, especially when it came to the FIFA 16 demo, which was strong right out of the box.

Anyone getting fouled at all by the AI? Haven't been fouled yet in five games.
