During E3 2016, EA surprised fans by unveiling FIFA 17 with enhanced graphics, powered by the renowned Frostbite engine — the same one used in Battlefield 4.After all, the franchise has been pressured for some time to bring more visual realism, especially compared to its rival PES, which has always been a step ahead in this regard.

However, the company seems determined to turn the tables. At its conference, a video was shown focusing entirely on graphical quality, making it clear that this will be one of the biggest bets for this edition. Peter Moore, then vice-president of EA, stated with conviction: "We are the best." This confidence certainly stems from the new standard of realism that FIFA 17 seeks to achieve.
