FIFA is one of the major Football titles for EA. In the recent years, the FIFA has received slight improvements every year with each installment. The improvements EA touts for this year’s FIFA game are an Active Intelligence System, new dodging and attacking moves, and an all new character that you’ll play as in the career mode. Additionally, the game is based on the Frostbite Engine which is also EA’s choice of engine for their Battlefield series bringing excellent visuals to FIFA 17 and allowing some excellent physics to be embed into the game.
According to EA, FIFA 17 will arrive as early as 22 September for Origin Access Members or a full launch on the 27th of September 2016 in North America. The game will come in three different editions ranging from the Deluxe and Super Deluxe, to the normal Standard Edition.
As of the minimum spec requirements, you’ll be required to have these components in your system
OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 – 64-Bit
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.1GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4 GHz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive Space Required: 50.0 GB
Minimum Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GTX 460 or AMD Radeon R7 260
DirectX: 11.0
EA has recommended these specifications to run FIFA 17
OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 – 64-Bit
CPU: Intel i5-3550K @ 3.40GHz or AMD FX 8150 @ 3.6GHz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive Space Required: 50.0 GB
Minimum Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 270
DirectX: 11.0
It’s worth mentioning that the recommended hard drive is much larger when compared to last year’s FIFA 16 which required you to have 15GB of HDD space available. It seems like the new FIFA 17’s Frostbite Engine implementation has inflated the requirements for the HDD requiring the user to have 50GB of free space on their HDD. As of the GPUs it shouldn’t be any issue with the system that has been built with gaming in mind with FIFA 17 requiring an AMD R7 260 or an Nvidia GTX 460 as your minimum GPUs which is a pretty modest requirement for a GPU.
