This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
FIFA 17 for PlayStation 3
FIFA 17 makes possession more direct through stronger physical contests, new runs and set pieces with more precise control. Free kicks and penalties let you shape the run-up, while corners use a targeting point. Pushback Tech helps a strong attacker shield the ball with the body. Team-mates seek space more actively, giving through balls, crosses and cutbacks several answers against a closed defence.
Individual matches, tournaments and careers form the offline base. Manager Career adds expectations for domestic results, European success, finances, brand value and youth development. Playable content and presentation differ by console generation: The Journey, the story of Alex Hunter, belongs only to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and is therefore absent on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. EA ended FIFA 17 online services on 14 February 2023.
This PlayStation 3 release belongs to the game's original console generation. Its central rules and offline content are on the disc, but technical effects from PlayStation 4 or Xbox One do not automatically belong to this version. The actual product title and any no-manual wording remain decisive for delivery.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
FIFA 17 for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of FIFA 17
EA Sports released FIFA 17 in September 2016. It was the first main entry to use Frostbite on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, enabling more cinematic cameras, detailed stadiums and The Journey. That story follows young Alex Hunter through training, matches and choices in his first Premier League season. Older console versions retained the football components but used a different technical foundation and did not receive this story.
The game appeared while the same football series served two console generations, so the title alone does not define the content. PlayStation 4 received Frostbite and The Journey; PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 received an edition without that campaign but with updated clubs, careers and revised gameplay. Later squad updates and network competitions were time-limited. For a used copy, local matches, careers and other offline components are the lasting reference.
This PlayStation 3 release belongs to the game's original console generation. Its central rules and offline content are on the disc, but technical effects from PlayStation 4 or Xbox One do not automatically belong to this version.
