I have a serious love\/hate relationship with the FIFA franchise.<\/p>\n
It’s the only game that makes me angry when I play, as its numerous flaws come to the foreground the more you play it.<\/p>\n
But like an abusive relationship, it’s the game I’ve undoubtedly put the most time into in 2017 with over 6 days played since the game’s September release.<\/p>\n
Even worse, the majority of that time has been spent in the game’s Ultimate Team mode as I constantly struggle to place in the top divisions.<\/p>\n
Building the best possible team, figuring out chemistry, and battling it out against a wily opponent is one of the best experiences in gaming.<\/p>\n
EA has also continuously added more to do with the Squad Building Challenges and Weekend League being highlights.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere the game’s single-player “The Journey” mode provided a fun distraction and the soundtrack is particularly slid this year.<\/p>\n
But the main attraction is (and will be for the foreseeable future), the incredible Ultimate Team mode.<\/p>\n
