With the new sports game "FIFA 17" to be released by the end of the month, a lot of fans certainly cannot wait to try it out. In a recent interview with GameReactor, lead producer Garreth Reeder revealed that the game's demo version will be released by Sept. 13.

However, according to Game Spot, it seems that the game's demo version is still unclear in terms of its content, as well as a lot of other details, such as the platforms it will be released on. As such, fans are encouraged to wait for further announcements as it is possible that a few days before its launch, more details will be provided. 

With the game's release date so near, a lot of players are excited about the new things the game can offer this time. As such, Gotta be Mobile reports  the comparisons between "FIFA 17" and its predecessor, "FIFA 16" in terms of graphics as well as other features. After all, a lot of users think that the game is just an update to the rosters of the teams involved in the game, so it is important to have these misconceptions cleared.

It is clear that the newest "FIFA" game to be added by EA Sports will feature more than just a roster update, since the company has switched to the Frostbite Engine in order to make this game. As fans can remember, this Engine is also used to run other note-worthy games such as the upcoming "Battlefield 1," "NHL 16," and "Rory Mcllroy PGA Tour."

Meanwhile EA recently revealed that Lionel Messi has stepped down from the highest-rated player in "FIFA 17," which certainly shocked a lot of fans. The new holder of this title is Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, followed by Messi. Also, Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus now adorns the new game cover, instead of the four-year cover athlete Messi.

"FIFA 17" will be released on Sept. 27 for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the PC.
