'FIFA 17' tips and tricks news: Recommended steps for beginners on how to dominate latest 'FIFA' game

"FIFA 17" is the latest installment in the very popular association video game series "FIFA." The game was officially released last September and it is playable on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The game has received mainly positive reviews for its gameplay, the Frostbite engine, and its sound and overall presentation. Also, it has been reported to be the fastest selling edition of the franchise.

If a gamer bought the "FIFA 17" video game, chances are very high that he already has some prior experience in playing the earlier incarnations from the "FIFA" franchise. However, for those who have just bought the game or will be playing a "FIFA" game for the very first time, a few tips and tricks may be needed to push them in the right direction.

Recently, Forbes featured a beginner's guide article by data scientist Karl Krehbiel on Quora which provided recommendations to "FIFA" beginners on how to maximize their gaming experience in "FIFA 17."

The main recommendation indicated by Krehbiel was for beginners to jump right in with a quick play game. Beginners should also use one of the best teams in the game (Bayer, Barcelona, Real Madrid, etc.) to play against one of the worst ones. In the first few games, the main goal of the player should be to avoid bad habits and have fun.

In improving a player's defense play, it is recommended to resist the temptation of always side tackling. When defending, there is no need to rush. Tackling is only used once an opponent makes a mistake. It is also important to conserve stamina. Sprinting all the time is unnecessary, and tiring out the players in the game makes them more prone to injuries.

Patience is also key in playing offense. For beginners, maintaining possession of the ball is more important than trying to get up the field and score each time. Thinking ahead is also important in passing the ball. The goal should be to pass it around in such a way that the opponent's team's defense is disrupted and becomes easier to exploit.

In the end, the only way to transition from being a beginner to an experienced player in "FIFA 17" is to practice and to keep on practicing until the gamer gets a better feel of the game.
