The time is nigh: The new "FIFA" is almost here.
I've had the luxury of playing the full version of "FIFA 17" for the last few days before the game's official release, and it's the same glorious blend of fun and competition-fueled rage I've come to love since "FIFA '94." Yes, 1994.
"FIFA 17" brings a whole new story mode and a bunch of improvements that result in a great "FIFA" game. However, it still isn't perfect.
"FIFA 17" comes out on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on September 27.
Check out the new "FIFA 17."

One of the biggest new features in "FIFA 17" is the new story mode, called The Journey, which simulates the career of an up-and-coming soccer player called Alex Hunter.
You start off in the youth academy, where you try out for a spot as a full professional in the Premier League.
It's around this time when you choose Hunter's temperament, whether he's balanced, fiery, or cool, by selecting his verbal responses to certain situations.
It's part of the new decision-making aspect in "FIFA 17" that helps decide what kind of player Hunter is, as well as his relationship with his manager and how many followers he gets on social media.
Yes, growing your social-media followers in-game to obtain sponsorships is now part of "FIFA," and that's kind of hilarious whichever way you look at it #lol. As in real-life, your follower number is based on your in-game performance, but you don't get to post any updates yourself, unfortunately.
