What Are the Changes That FIFA 17 Had Made?

EA Sports has decided to change engine for their latest football title, FIFA 17, with this year's entry in the ongoing series switching to the Frostbite engine (previously it was built in Ignite). Buy fifa 17 coins and play the game.

The engine is used throughout other EA games, such as Dragon Age and Star Wars: Battlefront. This was one of the deciding factors when making the switch, explained FIFA 17 Producer Nick Channon.

"We can have great collaboration within the teams within EA that are already on that engine. The Battlefield team, the Dragon Age team, and we've been working closely with them obviously, Dragon Age in particular around narrative and story.

"And also Battlefield; learning how they use their lighting and some of the things that they do within their game that we can now, not only talk about and get ideas from, but now we can look at how they're actually doing it, because we're in the same technology base."

Early trailers have focused heavily around this engine and how it changes the way the game plays; "football has changed", boasted the first trailer for the game (you'll see footage from that trailer within the interviews attached herein).

The switch to Frostbite has opened up a lot of opportunities for the FIFA team and they are now introducing The Journey mode into their newest title. This is essentially story mode where players will follow the life of young footballer Alex Hunter and his rise up through the Premier League. By using the Frostbite engine the team has managed to create a world outside the pitch with parts of the narrative taking the player away from the matches.

Channon said: "Our players told us they wanted to see beyond the pitch, they wanted to see behind the scenes, to really try and feel what it's like to be a professional footballer and I think that's really what we try to do with the journey of a young player coming through trying to establish himself in a premier league team and some of the things that go on behind that. That's really what we've tried to do with that mode, make it sort of feel that you're acting out that journey and I think it's a great addition to the game."
