Handball 17

Compared with the previous installment of the series, Handball 17 puts large emphasis on even more realistic recreation of movement and typical maneuvers of the players (e.g. shots from the hip, feints, combinations, etc.) and the way they move in accordance with the tactic set before the match. The last element became possible thanks to the significantly enhanced, dynamic artificial intelligence that controls both our teammates and the opposing team. The gameplay itself also became more -friendly (especially for beginners) thanks to the completely revamped controls and new difficulty levels as well as helpful context hints that let us easily learn the ins and outs of the game and quickly develop our own unique playstyle.

Game modes

Handball 17 offers a large selection of both single and multiplayer modes. Lone wolves can play an individual match, a full league season, or try their luck at the extensive career mode. Lovers of competition, in turn, are able to play against other players, both locally and online (unavailable on PlayStation 3).

Technical aspects

From the technical side, Handball 17 for PC, PS4 and etc. doesn’t introduce any revolutionary changes and is still powered by the same graphics engine as its predecessor, although slightly modified and improved. Despite that, the game’s graphics are still high-quality and aren’t worse than those of most sports productions available in the market.
