FIFA and official licensee Electronic Arts announced today that EA SPORTS™ FIFA 17 will feature 12 Women’s national football teams for the first time in the game’s history when it launches later this year. FIFA 17 features a significant new assist to help players manage the grappling system. When you're clinched, a joystick map appears, indicating the available holds and stances you can transition to. It's then a matter of pushing the stick in that direction and holding it there for a period of time to complete the move.

Naturally, this is affected by the countermoves the AI or other player will use to avoid the hold (and counter-countermoves you can attempt to keep it going), as well as ratings and fighter stamina. But I'm no longer clueless about what constitutes a major or a minor transition, which one is appropriate in the situation, or how to execute it on the sticks. It's also a lot less panic-inducing when someone puts me on the ground and transitions to a dominant position.

The game which is due for North American release from 22 September 2015 onwards, will feature the women’s national squads of Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and the United States of America. The women’s teams will represent their respective federations in several FIFA 17 game modes including Kick Off, an offline tournament, as well as Online* Friendly Matches. The FIFA Ultimate Team infrastructure is designed to provide an optimal experience with human parameters in mind," said EA Sports.

However, our data shows that these bots generate four times as many Transfer Market searches than all human FUT players combined. This severely impacts the game and your playing experience on a daily basis.

The use of bots and third-party bot services to automatically buy Transfer Market items in order to gain an unfair advantage is a form of cheating. Gamers detected using bots, third-party bot services, or scripts for any purpose will be subject to our ban process. Aside from enhancements to core gameplay, and adding women's teams, FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) is back. This is a feature that lets you put together a ragtag team and turn it into a championship winning outfit.

But doing so takes a lot of time and energy and involves acquiring players through card packs. Not so with another mode, FIFA Ultimate Team Draft. This mode lets you experience the best of FUT in just a few matches. You'll build a team, filling out each position and play four matches in a row to win rewards for your club such as rare players, boosts to attributes and coins that you can use in FUT. The development team responsible for FIFA 17 meticulously researched player movement and likeness to authentically recreate 12 top women’s teams. Development was supported by a motion capture session at EA Canada with four top players from United States Women’s Team.
