This perhaps makes FIFA 17 the most appealing to newbies

Every year, developer EA Sports tries to justify the need for you to buy its latest football game. We've seen a lot of these annual changes, both big and small. From the monumental jump to the subtle presentation-focused improvements of FIFA 17, there's always something afoot. FIFA 17 has a trainer option we liked. Click the right analogue stick in a game and it shows you button prompts for various moves. You can configure it depending on your skill level, to show basic moves like a short pass, or more complex things, like a chipped shot or a nutmeg. EA Sports has managed to implement this in a way that never clutters up the screen.
Of all of the changes, this perhaps makes FIFA 17 the most appealing to newbies. And if you're the sort who has been playing FIFA over the years, you just might learn something new. This would make the defensive side of the ball seem like its at a disadvantage, but some defensive improvements have also been added to the game to keep everything balanced. These range from new tackling mechanics to players better anticipating passes and getting interceptions in the midfield.
This works together with the game’s chemistry system, having teams with higher chemistry in the various game modes being able to better cover the field. Teamwork is better than ever here, and it can really be seen through both the offensive and defensive improvements in FIFA 17. In the past, you could cobble together a team based a player's speed attributes alone. Now it feels like the other statistics, such as strength, finally play a role, and are actually more important at times. Defenders with high strength attributes like John Terry can finally hold their own against quicker players like Theo Walcott.
Previously attempting a sliding tackle left you with just one opportunity to get it right before your opponent left you in the dust. A well-timed tap of the tackle button again lets your player pick himself up and take another chance at intercepting the ball. One of the bigger additions this year are women's teams. They play a lot faster than their male counterparts, making it a completely different game altogether. They're restricted to offline tournaments and online friendly matches. In spite of their inclusion, you won't be able to use them in career mode or in any other portion of FIFA 17 which seems kind of silly.
When I tried this method, I was unfamiliar with most of the market but since I had made a Chelsea team before, I was pretty knowledgeable about the prices. Also, it's pretty easy to write down the prices of 20 players, which is what I did. Then I searched for Club: Chelsea and Max Buy Now Price: 1,000,000, so that all the Chelsea players would show up. Then I pressed Next Page for about five minutes until I ended up at the players in their 59th minute. Every time I refreshed the page there was a new bargain, and after about two hours I had made a steady 40,000 on about 70 players.
The big difference this year is the game's pace. FIFA 17 is slower. Even after installing the day one patch that EA released. Fans of the series might feel it's a step down from what they've been accustomed to. During our marathon sessions across game modes, we've come to the realisation that this change gives you a little bit of extra time to think in FIFA 17.
