Enjoyed what I have played so far but anyone else think the sound is a little low? Music in menus/transitions are near silent even at 10.

It's so hard to judge with 4 minute halves.
It obviously looks better, but it's mainly the lighting (which could be done this way in the previous engine as well if EA wanted) and the player faces when really up close. When actually playing you can safely tell it's 17 and not 16...by the different font. So wise move to change it I guess.

But that's icing, and i'm not so sure about the cake. Could be the best fifa to date with significant improvements (not very optimistic there), or it could be one to quickly forget. Wait and see for me. Maybe even wait for the first post-release patch as well. It's definitely not as bad as some comments make it out to be, but it's not super fun either.

Ball speed is comically fast at times, through balls and cutting inside the box seem too effective, and the back 4 retreat too much at times and seem to be instructed to not bother with marking strikers but to rely on their ball magnets for blocking shots. Yet it's not a goal fest, but it's hard to say whether it's because it's somehow balanced or because...4 minute halves (and if it's properly balanced it's done in a way that sucks most fun out of it, just like 16, IMHO. But again I need to play more and at a proper half length to tell).

I played with my Nvidia Control Panel, and this game now is beautiful. Really excited to see the full version.

Dunno lads , im really liking it other than the cpu pass percentage this is a really good game,fair, pretty physical, looks incredible , good player weight,Ai plays a good game for defaults, Ball weight is nice i feel , passing feels good.
Loving how the keepers come to claim crosses, lot more little deflections had some great goal mouth scrambles.
pens are fun.
marking and spacing is solid, i think this is a real solid base to start from.

Matt should have a field day with this thought he would be more excited.
Broadcast cam is a dream to play from.

I am super pumped for FIFA 17 after playing the demo!

I love the ball physics. It feels much looser and organic.

Also really like the new free kick, corner, and penalty system. Love that you can control a player off the ball during a FK/corner.

Also really like the ground shots. I've always wanted to be able to slot home a shot in the ground, but you could never really do it effectively.

I think I'm more forgiving than most on FIFA, because I get my sim experience from Football Manager, but this demo got me even more excited to get the game.

I played 3 or 4 games tonight, and I really enjoyed it. I'd give the PES 2017 demo a slight edge on gameplay, but FIFA looks so damn good and plays pretty well too! With the total package of licenses and what looks to be a fun "The Journey" mode, I'm glad I chose FIFA for now. There's a solid chance I'll end up with both before 2016 is over. Haha

If they can tweak it to where there are more fouls called and the CPU pass % decreases a little, I'll be perfectly happy with it. I'm looking forward to playing more tomorrow!

Played one match and enjoyed it. I really like the journey. I was skeptical when they first announced it but I am pumped about it.

Same.

I had zero interest in The Journey but figured I'd give it a run since its on the demo.

I rated out a 9.2 scoring 1 goal and 1 assist. Obviously I think it's watered down so it's meant for you to score but I really liked the fact that it's not static and I can answer questions in 3 different ways.

I may play the retail version of The Journey just to give myself a change of pace. Sucks that I'm forced to play on my most hated team Man U but it is what it is.

Does anyone know how long The Journey runs? I can't imagine them having cutscenes and dialogue beyond one full PL season.
