FIFA 17 has completely dominated the football game market this year, owing to its ambitious story mode, and the authenticity it strives for with its licenses. But the game still did launch with a fair few bugs and issues- a lot of which have now been addressed in the new update for the title that is available on PS4 and Xbox One.
Among the things it doesn’t address is how the game handles injuries, but hey, we’ll get there eventually. This update is massive enough as is- there’s a whole lot it brings to the table.
