Demo is out on PC. Go to the pre-order of FIFA 17 and click 'try before you buy'.

The new Origin UI is awful.

Under the pre-order button on the web page, it's also on this page too https://www.origin.com/en-ie/store/free-games/demos-betas

You can get the demo via the Free Games section in Origin and then clicking on Demos and Betas.

Jeeeez Origin must be getting pounded - I can't get a download page to save my life

Nursie · 13 Sep 2016 at 18:53

I had to do it via the website as the page wouldn't load on origin. Page load straight away via the website

My Origin client is going nuts.

Fulax · 13 Sep 2016 at 19:31

Same. I can't use the website either because it wants me to enter a security code but isn't sending anything to my email address.

varkanoid · 13 Sep 2016 at 20:14

Did have it set to send it to email address? It can also be set to send as a text or to the authenticator app.

Demo downloading now seems to have calmed down a bit.

Fulax · 13 Sep 2016 at 20:18

I got it eventually - it took half an hour. Obviously I tried again 15 minutes after the first attempt so the code I just got is now invalid. Must be more patient.

Edit: Working fine on Origin now.

downloading/installing first go on mine.

Just had a quick play on this and I have mixed feelings. Okay granted its a demo and not meant to show final product even though said final product gets released in a couple of weeks.

Few observations. I was expecting a lot better visuals now its using the new engine but I am a bit disappointed. The faces are definitely better but there is still that robotic movement in replays. The bit where they suddenly change direction. Also noticed in replays the ball is actually hovering above the pitch in scale terms probably about an inch over. At first I thought I was imagining it but checked another reply and yes the ball is hovering. Also the ball in normal play doesnt seem as well animated. So I had another go then fired up FIFA 16 and had a play and 16 does seem more fluid than 17.

One thing that did make me chuckle is Aguero's face animation when he smiles/laughs they have given him terrible crow's feat on his face !!! LOL

Look OK on my x34 ultrawide with no problems given the aspect ratio. Still looks prettier on the TV and PS4 for some reason though. I like some of the new features though like the fact you can see where corners are going to drop and the ability to aim where said drop happens. Going to take the plunge on PC this year anyway

Native support for 144hz monitors ABOUT TIME!!!!

OneZeoN · 14 Sep 2016 at 06:19

Played a few games and enjoying it

Fells very much FIFA 16 to me but maybe that's imagining that.
Looks nice and loving the replays etc

Heard the demo is an old build as the youtubers who played it last week said they had a newer "tighter" build and that was better than the demo.

Either way I can't wait to get into the full game soon
