Get used to hearing loads more about Alex Hunter

If Euro 16 isn’t enough to occupy your mind for the next few weeks or so, perhaps the thought of Fifa 17’s fast approaching release is more your thing?

It’s still a matter of months away but with the Premier League season over a couple of weeks ago, new details about the latest edition of Fifa are are coming at us thick and fast.

The most significant change to the new game is set to be the inclusion of a story mode feature. On Sunday, the launch of a new trailer, which focuses on a fictional young footballer by the name of Alex Hunter, gave us a glimpse of what the new feature will include.

With many people hoping to be able to customise the player for this exciting new feature, it appears that anyone wanting to use it will be stuck with Alex – although you can adjust which team he represents. As you might expect, the trailer prompted tweets aplenty since it first dropped on YouTube.
