FIFA 17

anyway can't wait for MAFIA, I find this FIFA really boring tbh. Not sure if that's just me being tired of football games after pissing me life away on them for a century or if it's genuinely boring. It's not a bad game at all..just meh. Seen a lot of people saying it feels really boring online too. It's more realistic but it's not that satisfying to play IMO.

On the plus side, played a drop in on pro clubs last night, only saw 6 people with the name Ronaldo out of 22

The new PES is, without a doubt, way better than FIFA 17 I've only played one match on the new PES, but from what I can tell it's gameplay-wise better than FIFA 17 in every possible way.

Last week I was sure I didn't want to buy 17. Then I played a dozen games of the 16 in the weekend and now I find myself considering buying the 17. Must. Resist.

I remember you saying that you prefer a more slow-paced game, and FIFA 17 is slightly slower than FIFA 16. In fact, it's most likely the most slow-paced FIFA game to date. You might like it.

My main frustrations with FIFA 17 right now, are the occasional, unbelievably poor first touches when receiving passes, the occasional high ball that automatically bounces off the back of the receiving player as if you made no effort to gain possession of it, and the fact that most of the issues from 5-6 years back still remain. And yes, you can still get penalties from barging into a defender who's standing still.

I don't mind it being slower than the other FIFA's at all, but what I do mind is that at times it's slow because the players will take forever to turn 180 degrees or something like that.

The slow paced nature doesn't bother me, but at times it just seems somewhat clunky compared to different FIFA's. In some ways, that's an improvement. People aren't meant to get the ball and spin in half a second past a defender, but in others it just doesn't feel right.

Exactly. I believe I already mentioned the turning around part in this thread And yeah, I also agree that the game feels very clunky. I have pretty fast reflexes and I like to make quick decisions, and so it's a bit frustrating for me to play games that are as slow paced as FIFA 17. I tend to visualize my next move before I receive the ball, but then the player struggles to control it, or an opposing player runs away with it while I'm locked to an animation. It feels like I have to wait for the game to keep up.

I suppose braindead, arcade shooters like Call of Duty were designed for people like me. Console games in general seem to be more slow paced, these days. I can't remember the last time I played a game that challenged my reaction time and hand to eye coordination. Must've been an older CoD game

Plays as a false B2B CB.

Need some of the GL roster to join us on clubs imo.
