But I get the impression that sometimes it makes no difference, and this is the mode’s downfall. The way you perform in the matches, and training, helps determine whether you’ll be on the bench or in the starting XI. You can either control the whole team or, like in Be A Pro, just control Alex. The games are self-explanatory, just typical FIFA matches with the odd tinker to make them fit into the story dynamic. The mode is broken down into three distinct sections: games, training and cut-scenes. We first meet Alex playing as a boy, on a muddy Clapham Common, before witnessing a vital trial that could make or break his career. You play as Alex Hunter, an up-and-coming ‘wonderkid’ and third-generation pro. The premise of The Journey is simple, and packed with cliché. WATCH: FIFA 17 vs PES 17 – Which is better? In many ways it’s just like that, but I have to give props to EA (and BioWare who assisted with the story) for how well it’s been done.

I instantly likened it to some crappy straight-to-TV football film, or the laughably bad but also quite entertaining Goal! movie series. I too had misgivings about The Journey – FIFA 17’s name for the story mode – when EA first announced it. Spike Lee even directed last year’s version. 2K has been at it for years with its M圜areer mode in the NBA series, with the mode becoming increasingly popular with each iteration.
It sounds odd at first having a single-player campaign in a football game that isn’t completely about management, but it’s hardly something new. There are two huge changes to FIFA 17: the move to a brand-new engine, Frostbite, and the focus on a story lead ‘campaign’. In many ways it’s a resounding yes, but FIFA and PES are now more different than ever, and that’s a good thing. But in the most odds-defying 12 months of football I can remember, can the latest update to the beautiful game’s most popular sim still stand tall against Konami’s fantastic PES 2017? In football’s incredibly unpredictable world, FIFA’s regular yearly launch provides us with a nice bit of stability. Available on Xbox One (version tested), PS4, Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PS3
