But at the heart of FIFA 17's play comes a new engine. There have been reports and speculation suggesting that FIFA 17 would move away from Ignite, adopting a Frostbite engine instead. Well, these reports were confirmed at EA play and in the game's recent trailers.
If you haven't saw them already, EA Play showcased promotional material that included the game's new cover stars. They include; Eden Hazard, Marco Reus, Anthony Martial and James Rodriguez, with the quartet replacing Barcelona's Lionel Messi at the helm.
