Voor voetbalfans is het al jaren goed vertoeven met de FIFA-reeks. FIFA 17 is echter nog lang niet perfect en dat weet ontwikkelaar EA Sports ook, daarom komt deze week de eerste update naar PC, PS4 en Xbox One, zo meldt EA Benelux op zijn eigen Twitter.
FIFA 17 werd door ons beoordeeld met een 7,5 , dat cijfer werd voornamelijk gedrukt door het grote aantal problemen met de gameplay; veel bugs en rare gebeurtenissen in de game. EA gaat een aantal problemen nu aanpakken, maar brengt ook wat visuele updates naar de game. Meest noemenswaardige is dat bij een Premier League duel nu vooraf de opstelling wordt weergeven zoals dit op televisie ook gebeurt, hetgeen er erg scherp en fris uitziet.
Bewegende beelden van bovenstaande zijn te vinden op de website van EA Sports zelf. EA Sports bedankt de ‘supporters’ en zegt dat ze de feedback die ze via welk kanaal dan ook ontvangen ter harte nemen. Kom je problemen tegen? Laat het EA Sports dus weten via Twitter, Facebook of de fora van EA.
Wat er allemaal precies gaat veranderen:
” Addressed the following in gameplay:
- A situation where cancel was unresponsive after requesting a clearance.
- A rare situation where the penalty shootout should have ended earlier.
- Increased the CPU AI tendency to attack directly.
- An issue where players sometimes overrun the ball after a skill move.
- Increased the chance of error from ground crosses (triple tap).
- Improvements to ball physics where shots off the goal posts lose too much speed.
- Goalkeeper positioning for corner kicks.
- Improvements made to player switching from corners and free kicks.
- An issue where the player would control the ball instead of attempting a clearance.

*As a result of the change to Pro Clubs, some of you may find you’re a lower OVR than before the update. This is intentional and you haven’t lost any of your progress.
Thanks to those who’ve provided constructive feedback on Twitter, Facebook, and the EA Forums. Throughout the course of the FIFA 17 season we’ll provide you with more information and updates if and when they become available.”
