FIFA 17: There’s an incredible secret that lets you play as KIDS on FIFA

You thought you'd discovered everything, right?

FIFA 18 may be a few weeks away but it seems as though there are still things being discovered in last year’s game.

Incredible footage has found its way on to YouTube, via DTT, showing what appears to a team of kids playing against a team of adults.

In FIFA 17, you only get to control a young version of Hunter during a penalty section in The Journey – however, this latest clip suggests a full match could be unlocked.

It’s not known yet how you can do this. although it does look like a lot of fun.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Premier League Top Goalscorer 🚨

ROMELU LUKAKU has come in to 2/1 to finish as the Premier League top scorer.

The Belgian scored twice against West Ham on Sunday to put an immediate market down in the Golden Boot race.

Harry Kane, who has NEVER scored a goal in August, is 2/1.

And there is value to be had in Alexandre Lacazette.

He is 8/1 even after scoring on his debut against Leicester last week.

Sun Bets have a blinding special offer for top scorer.

If you bet ÂŁ25 on any player to top the table at the end of the season, they’ll give a ÂŁ5 free bet for every game he scores in until October.

The offer is valid until midnight August 27 and is open to ALL customers.

BET ÂŁ25 ON THE PREMIER LEAGUE TOP SCORER AND GET A FREE ÂŁ5 BET FOR EVERY GAME HE SCORES IN

Our guess is that this could be a mod, or – the gamer has manually created kid versions of each player – although this wouldn’t explain the child-like faces.

FIFA 18 arrives on September 29, but you won’t need to wait until then to get your hands on the game. That’s because the FIFA 18 demo should arrive approximately two weeks before.

So, what’s in the demo?

If it’s the same build EA has been showing off at their preview events, you’ll be able to play as a number of teams including Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Here’s the full line up:

  • Manchester City
  • Manchester United
  • Chelsea
  • Real Madrid
  • Atletico Madrid
  • Juventus
  • Bayern Munich
  • PSG
  • LA Galaxy
  • Toronto FC

You’ll also likely be able to play through the first part of The Journey: Hunter Returns – although we wouldn’t doing that unless you’ve played the first one.

Check out what happens at the end of The Journey  if you won’t have time to play through the first chapter.

EA Access 

If you’re desperate to get your hands on the game and don’t mind coughing up a bit of extra dough, you can sign up to EA Access to play FIFA 18 five days before launch for a full 10 hours.

For £3.99 for a month, you’ll get access to a vault of EA games – including a 10-hour trial of FIFA 18.

The trial will arrive on September 21 – eight days before the game’s official release.

Pre ordering

OK, so if you’re reading this, chances are you’re going to buy FIFA 18 – so why wait?

If you pre-order the Icon or Ronaldo versions of the game, you’ll get three days’ worth of early access to the full game.

Prepare to spend big, though – the former won’t leave much change from £100.

Remember, the Icon and Ronaldo editions are not available for Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Switch.

So, what is in each package?

Icon Edition 

  • Play from September 26th with 3 Days Early Access
  • Up to 40 FIFA Ultimate Team Jumbo Premium Gold Packs (two per week over 20 weeks – worth up to $120)

FIFA Web App

If you haven’t heard about the FIFA 18 Web App then you’re missing out.

It essentially lets you manage your team remotely, play the market and, crucially for FIFA 18, give you a head start on your Ultimate Team.

The Web App is usually made available a few days before the EA/Origin Access trial period begins.

There are usually some early bonuses and loyalty packs, so it’s definitely worth the effort.

So, what did you think of FIFA 18 when you had a go?

We’re very impressed – it’s slower than FIFA 17 but that’s no bad thing. Plus, it looks spectacular – especially on PS4 Pro.
