Another year, another installation of EA’s biggest money making machine, FIFA. The football mania has been heavy this month with the Barclay’s premier’s league keeping up the heat.

As you can see, no one’s been left out.
EA showed off the their newest approach to the football franchise during E3(Electronic Entertainment Expo) with the undeniably exciting new “Journey Mode”. A career mode which finally humanizes your football journey from the new kid on the block to the best imaginary striker in football history(We all know you made a striker!). A very personalized story alleviates you from the bland experience of grinding through every match on career mode without a more personal reason or perspective.
As for the demo’s Journey Mode, you’ll be playing as the rising star Alex Hunter(The one who made an appearence during EA’s E3 conference to promote the new Journey Mode). Along with the set playable character, you’ll be experiencing a portion of the mode playing for Manchester Fans(Man United Hater? hard luck!).
The journey mode isn’t the only feature available with the demo, you’ll also be able to access the kick-off mode which includes a brand new set of skill games available for the game’s loading screen. These are the teams that’ll be available in the demo’s kick-off mode:
