EA Sports has released the third in a four-part series of videos going into different aspects of improvements that have been made for FIFA 17. In this edition, which focuses on cover athlete candidate Marco Reus, it’s the Active Intelligence System that’s is taken a closer look at. “This brand new gameplay mechanic introduces constant spatial analysis, increases activity off the ball, and changes the way players move, read, and react.”
Constant Spatial Analysis
Now every player analyzes the proximity of their opponents and the space around them to better identify opportunities in attack. When you are on the ball your teammates understand if you can make a pass and adjust their movement to show for you or make a new run.
New Run Types
Smarter players and increased activity off the ball give you new and creative ways to open up the opposition. Orchestrated runs with multiple players, fake runs, stunt runs, and calling a player to show support are just a few ways you take control in the build up.
