FIFA 17 is a soccer simulation game developed by EA Canada and EA Romania, published by Electronic Arts. Released in 2016, it is notable for being one of the last FIFA titles to be released on the PlayStation 3 platform, offering updated rosters and gameplay refinements consistent with the series’ annual iteration.
The PlayStation 3 version features traditional FIFA gameplay with modes such as Career Mode, Ultimate Team, Tournament Mode, and Online multiplayer. While the PS3 version does not include the Frostbite engine introduced in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, it retains core gameplay mechanics including realistic ball physics, player control, and AI behavior tailored for the platform.
The game includes licensed teams, leagues, and stadiums from around the world, with commentary and presentation consistent with previous entries. Trophy support is provided, and online features allow for competitive matches through the PlayStation Network.
Critically, FIFA 17 on PlayStation 3 received mixed to average reviews, with praise for gameplay improvements but some criticism for lack of graphical upgrades and missing features compared to newer console versions. According to Metacritic, the PS3 version holds moderate review scores reflecting these factors.
