Through matches, training sessions, and branching dialogue choices, players guide Hunter’s career on and off the pitch, shaping his relationships with teammates, his reputation with managers, and his rise to stardom.

On the field, gameplay builds on the series’ established 11-versus-11 football simulation, with matches reflecting real-world rules, tactics, and pacing.

The introduction of the Frostbite engine provides enhanced animation and physics, resulting in more natural player collisions, ball interactions, and stadium presentation.

New attacking options expand offensive play, such as low-driven shots, threaded through balls, and downward headers, while revised set-piece mechanics allow for precise control over free kicks, corners, and penalties.

Defensive AI has also been adjusted, with smarter positioning and greater emphasis on physicality.

Player progression outside of The Journey continues through Career Mode and FIFA Ultimate Team.

In Career Mode, users can take control of either a single player or act as the manager of a club, handling responsibilities ranging from tactical choices to transfer negotiations and player development.

Ultimate Team emphasizes team-building through collectible player cards, squad chemistry, and competitive online tournaments, where rewards unlock additional packs and customization items.

Additional modes include the continuation of Pro Clubs, where players create or develop custom footballers to join online squads and compete in divisional play.

Online Seasons offer traditional head-to-head competition, while Skill Games provide standalone challenges to practice passing, shooting, and dribbling techniques.

The game also supports customization of tactics, for

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks FIFA 17 [Essentials] for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding FIFA 17 [Essentials] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2016.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
