This Is The Best Time To Get ‘FIFA 17’; Discounts, Web App Live

We’re only a few days from FIFA 17 release. Have you purchased your copy yet? If not, now might be the best time to do so.

We have kept our eyes on the FIFA franchise year on year and this coming season, FIFA is coming stronger than ever with FIFA 17.FIFA 17 will bring tons of new features to the well-loved sports simulation game, thanks to the all-new game engine, EA Sports Ignite Frostbite. Ed Kilham, technical director of the FIFA series, notes that while the Ignite Frostbite is already being used in a number of EA titles, the new game engine used in FIFA 17 allowed game developers to “push the limits of realism” in player and stadium modelling.

“The move to Frostbite allowed us to develop new features that were not supported by the previous engine including the new cinematic story mode in FIFA 17, The Journey.”

The Journey is an exciting story mode for FIFA 17, which puts the players in the shoes of football prodigy Alex Hunter, as he makes his way to the Premier League. And aside from the new Journey, a ton of new features are also making their way to FIFA 17.FIFA 17 devs have redesigned the gameplay and in-game physical interactions, enhanced active intelligence, and reintroduced the exciting FIFA web app. This year, through the FIFA web app, FIFA 17 players will also be able to join weekly league tournaments and gain access to new ways to build team chemistry.

Select players have already gained access to the FIFA web app earlier this week, where players can build their FIFA team early. While the FIFA web app launched with a slight hitch this week, as Wired reported, already a handful of players are enjoying the early access as of this writing.

According to Community Manager for EA SPORTS FIFA Series Rob Hodson, after working on the invites issues, the final group of accounts have been given access to the FIFA web app last September 23. So, those who were not able to get in will have to have the full game to unlock it.
