EA may not have officially revealed it yet, but FIFA 17 will take a "major leap forward in personalization, immersion and competition", CEO Andrew Wilson has said.
Wilson teased this year's game during EA's Q4 earnings call last night, explaining that FIFA 17, Madden NFL 17 and NHL 17, will each take steps forward in the three areas, and confirming that they're all due to arrive during the firm's second quarter, which runs between July-September.
As with earlier games in the series, you should probably expect FIFA 17 to release somewhere in September.
A reveal date for FIFA 17 is still somewhat of a mystery, though. The first details on last year's game were revealed on May 28, 2015, meaning you should probably expect something fairly soon.
The game will likely be shown at EA's E3 event EA Play next month, too.

Hopefully immersion = more licenses and REAL SCANNED FACES. Perhaps the BPL treatment for Bundesliga and La Liga?
Also, maybe personalization = stadium creator?
Man I've been wanting this since FIFA 11! Would be sweet to also edit players shirt type, sweat bands, sock length, ankle tape.. Hoping one day we'll see this happen
Wow. Do you just make up your own words?
PES have it for another year don't they?
EXACTLY!
funny thing is the career mode edit thing is there, it should be very easy to implement.. this would go a long way , being able to personalize your own players..
also NBA 2k series has a load of great ideas in this direction. badges would be beyond amazing.
imagine traits and abilities being added, silvers can have 3 slots for example, golds 5, super high rated cards can have 10 etc..
also they have the customized badge/shirt/stadium game down very nicely too.
it has become FUT above all a long time ago tbh, state of career mode is pathetic at this stage
I don't want personalization in this game until there are decent dedicated servers and the gameplay in general is fixed. I want a playable game, not a fancy badge.

Agreed. I never played fut until this year, and what a fookin mistake that was, just cm so mundane. Offline generally is fookin waste and the online is a bs lag fest( offline also bs fest). So what we meant to do, ea obvs trying to attract kids with graphics and gimmicks, fooks me off.
Fair enough, but they don't focus on important things like gameplay, it's all about the graphics and the fancy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ that nobody ( except kids) are bothered about. We want realistic, not plastic.
I started a thread there begging to fix the lag and gameplay issues (not the rant style and keeping it Professional) - it got shut down by a mod within 10 minutes or so before anybody could reply... Speaks volume imho..
