PES is "the best interpretation of football ever put on a gaming disc", it adds. Goal marks Fifa 17 seven out of ten, concluding The Journey is "fun" and overall the game is "fine" – but nothing more. The game is too slow, it says, and while this may be more realistic, it doesn't make for exciting gameplay. However, "on the pitch is where it really matters and this is where Fifa lets you down". Goal agrees Fifa 17 looks good, saying the "likenesses of top players are top-notch" and EA Sports remains "ahead of its rivals" in terms of presentation. "The volumetric lighting and focus blur effects are spectacularly convincing," says the site, and make the game even more photorealistic than "Konami's astonishingly good work in PES 2017". Fifa "plays a faster, more entertaining game this year", but it can't "match the all-out excitement of Konami's masterpiece".
