FIFA 17 will have a cinematic story mode

EA Sports today announced a brand new cinematic-style story experience for FIFA 17. Given that EA began hiring for positions that included a “Narrative Designer” back in 2015 the news doesn’t come as a surprise but is very significant as it represents the first time in eight years that the company will be introducing a substantial new way to play in the FIFA series.

The mode will be known as “The Journey” and involves starting as a 17-year-old in London who will choose a club in the English Premier League and try to work his way up the ranks, with the story adapting with the events that take place.
