We should admire the new story mode in FIFA 17. It’s a great progress in FIFA 17 game. And It’s also the first time to use frostbite engine in FIFA 17 game. So we can understand why FIFA 17 sold better than PES 2017 though PES 2017 has got a higher assessments by IGN. Alex Hunter, a young footballer trying to make his mark in the Premier League. The player will be able to select one of 20 Premier League clubs to play for at the beginning of the season.
 
The player can play in an upfield position, RW, ST, LW and CAM only. The story mode also features a dialogue wheel, similar to the Mass Effect series. Alex Hunter is a 17-year-old multiracial male from Clapham, London. Hunter's grandfather is former English striker Jim Hunter (20 goals in the 1966–67 season). Under his grandfather's guidance, Hunter has decided to play as a footballer in the Premier League. For the sake of authenticity, the developer brought in a wealth of real-world footballing talent – Harry Kane, Marco Reus, James Rodríguez, Eden Hazard, Ángel Di María, and Anthony Martial – to give gamers what it hoped would be “a true-to-life experience”.
 
The new story mode Journey is more like a long movie. As with any story mode, FIFA 17’s The Journey relies on cinematic cut-scenes to move Hunter’s story forward. This starts from a childhood flashback where you get the chance to score the final penalty during a Sunday League cup final, taking part in an exit trial with your buddy (and fellow striker) Gareth Walker, to your ever-supportive mother and famous grandfather – Catherine and Jim Hunter – celebrating your signing with a Premier League club.
 
The trouble is that not only are the cut-scenes terribly scripted and full of clichés, they also do not have any long-lasting impact – except for manager rating and follower count – beyond that particular exchange. Hunter’s relationship with other characters, and the questioning from the media, will progress the same way no matter what.
 
Once you get into the English first division, cut-scenes will also take the form of post-match interviews, depending on your contribution to the game or a significant milestone, such as your debut or a crucial win for your club. In all of these conversations and exchanges, Hunter can choose his responses from three options – ‘cool’, ‘hot’, or ‘neutral’ – which in turn affects Hunter’s overall temperament, the manager’s view of Hunter, and the number of followers (yes, social media is a part of The Journey) he has.
