FIFA 17 new features have a long list

EA Sports are under contract from Xbox developers Microsoft to only keep legends in their platforms. The deal lasts at least for one another year which is around end of 2017, which means that PS4 might not have FIFA Legends until FIFA 18. FIFA 17’s new features have a long list starting from the introduction of Women National Team to changes in dribbling and motions along with inclusion of new Stadiums and new Legends. Along with this EA sports also came to out with some innovative ideas of deciding the regional star player on the cover page of FIFA 17 along with there traditional star player Lionel Messi.
 
To get more bang for your buck, FUT Draft is a great way to get a bunch of packs and players and also save on wasting your squad's contracts, too. By paying 15,000 coins, which won't take too long to earn once you get going, you can play in the dream team tournament and earn potentially huge rewards should you progress far enough. The safest method of distribution, or so we’ve found so far, is to aim for positions close to wide midfielders or wingers on the touchlines. A lofted pass that fills the power bar by three-quarters will usually be just right for the near side; something closer to full power will be required to reach the far side. 
 
As long as you move the receiving player into position before the ball arrives, you’ll generally be favourite to win the ball even if an opponent contests it. Worst-case scenario, you’ll need to immediately nod or tap it back to the full-back.   The mode is also great fun to boot. Check out VideoGamer’s guide for some beginner's tips on FUT Draft. All of these news would be confirmed by E3 conference but EA have decided to skip this year’s event. However, we expect the developers to dissolve the debate around E3 with an explanation.
 
There are way more PlayStation users than Xbox and looking at it financially as a gaming company, they should tear up the contract with Microsoft to join hands with Sony. We do not mean that FIFA Legends should be removed from Xbox but adding PlayStation and bearing up the fines should be EA’s priority; at least that what the fans think. The only reason players’ use Xbox for FIFA and FUT is the cheaper market rates than PS4 market.
 
The lofted through-ball as you knew it in FIFA 15 – the master key to any defence, and catenaccio be damned – is a much diminished beast in FIFA 17. However, a lot of players have failed to realise that you can replicate much of its functionality with square button/X button passes. Get the weight of a lofted pass just right, and they’re actually easier to control – or pass first-time – than many ground passes. You also potentially benefit from the fact that a fairly significant proportion of FIFA players struggle to contest headers in midfield areas (unless, alas, you are one of them).
 
These last points are the ones that really contribute to FIFA 17’s most obvious shift; the fact that the midfield is now a battlefield. Working the ball through the middle of the park feels attritional and muddy, full of physicality and friction. More than ever, it’s a game of inches and interceptions, with defenders urging themselves towards the ball wherever possible, pressing and lunging and reaching out feet. It can get scrappy, with miscontrols and turnovers spilling messily around for a few seconds at a time, but it feels like an organic sort of mess, a footballing mess.
