[quote]FIFA 17 features many firsts for the franchise, among
them is the use of the Frostbite™ Engine to power the game. We
talked with FIFA Technical Director Ed Kilham to find out what
Frostbite brings to the FIFA franchise on Xbox One, PlayStation
4 and PC.
For those that don't know, what is Frostbite™?
Frostbite is the tech platform that powers many of EA’s games
including Battlefield™, Need For Speed™ and FIFA 17.
When did the team decide to move to Frostbite for EA SPORTS
FIFA?
The decision to move to Frostbite happened before I arrived on
FIFA. The team has worked for more than two years with FIFA 17
and the Frostbite engine.
Why is it important that FIFA 17 uses the Frostbite engine?
The overarching goal is to leverage the abilities of many of our
game teams to produce an engine that delivers world-class games.
For FIFA, the move to Frostbite allows us to develop new
features that were not supported by the previous engine
including the new cinematic story mode in FIFA 17, The Journey.
What were some of the challenges moving from our previous game
engine to Frostbite?
Software transitions are more difficult than Hardware
transitions. Moving from EA SPORTS IGNITE to Frostbite required
the team to learn the new technology platform, to adapt the
platform to the specific needs of FIFA and to push the new
platform to allow FIFA to do both the things it has done
superbly in the past as well as innovate in new and exciting
ways.
Where there any surprises during development? Anything that you
guys could do now but couldn't in the past?
Empowering content creators with the tools within Frostbite has
allowed for a new level of collaborative development between the
creative and technical groups within FIFA. Looking at FIFA 17,
we're pretty excited about the power of Frostbite and maybe a
bit surprised at just how much it can unlock for the teams.
Frostbite is part of our new story mode, The Journey. Can you
share how the mode uses the engine?
It takes FIFA players to places they have never been before,
including new environments that showcase true-to-life action
with lighting, rendering, and schematics. It also gives the team
here the ability to bring to life characters that are full of
depth and emotion.

what do you think of this change? I know that the ignite engine
switch in FIFA14 did only bring pain. This could be a return to
the FIFA12 & 13 gameplay

I do think it's a great change - visually. Already, some of the
face scans looks even more impressive.
Game play though ... not too sure how much that will be
impacted. I understand this is more around visuals - ability to
look at a locker room, walk around there, etc. - thus supporting
the new mode.
Re: "The Journey" ... yeah ... erm ... don't care.

They say all this "improved intelligence" and "better runs and
attacking positioning" every single year. Fullbacks, Centre
Backs and Goalkeepers will still be stupid in comparison, kids
will have no clue how to defend themselves, they'll moan, EA
will get scared of pack sales falling, a patch will appear and
the game will have changed back to Fifa 15. Same thing happens
literally every year.

On the dodgy defending position AI if you leave them to sort
themselves out......

1000% agree TWS ... such a shame we need to bow down to this
entitlement generation that don't want to learn how to play -
they want it all gifted on a platter.
Such a shame.

Agree on that article. I do understand that he did not have too
much reference on preceding play, but the defence looked
atrocious most times.
