Actor Tag – Your Go‑to Spot for FIFA 17 Tricks

When you click on the actor tag you’re stepping into a collection of guides that focus on the people behind the players – the virtual actors that drive every match. Whether you’re looking to master a star striker’s movements or learn how to use a defender’s style to shut down opponents, the actor tag gathers tips that help you play smarter.

Why does the term "actor" matter in FIFA 17? In the game each footballer acts like a digital actor, with unique traits, temperament, and animation sets. Understanding those traits lets you predict how a player will react in different situations. That knowledge turns a good team into a great one.

Why Actors Matter in FIFA 17

Every player has a rating that covers speed, shooting, passing, and more, but the hidden “actor” layer decides how those numbers translate on the pitch. A fast winger with poor balance will drift off‑side more often, while a composed midfielder can keep calm under pressure and make the right pass. By learning the actor profiles, you can set up tactics that fit each player’s personality.

For example, Messi’s actor profile emphasizes dribbling flair and low‑centered control. If you give him freedom on the wing, his natural movement will create space for a through ball. Conversely, a physical striker like Cristiano Ronaldo benefits from a high‑pressing role that uses his heading skill and power.

Knowing these nuances also helps when you edit players in Career Mode. Tweaking an actor’s aggression or composure can give you a custom star that fits your play style perfectly.

Best Actor‑Based Hacks and Strategies

Here are three quick hacks that use actor knowledge to up your game:

1. Match tactics to actor traits. Open the tactics menu and assign “Attacking Width” and “Depth” that match your forwards’ movement style. Wide actors love crossing, so set a higher width for them.

2. Use skill moves that fit the actor’s skill star. A 5‑star skill player can pull off ribbon‑like tricks, while a 3‑star should stick to simple feints. Trying a fancy move with a low‑skill actor often leads to a turnover.

3. Adjust player instructions. Turn on “Stay on Edge” for wingers who have high dribble ratings. This tells the AI to keep them near the sideline where they can use their actor’s speed.

These tricks are easy to apply during a match and don’t require any external mods. Just open the in‑game menus and make the changes.

Another practical tip is to use the “Player Development” tab in Career Mode. Focus training on the actor traits that are weak – like composure for a nervous striker – and you’ll see noticeable improvement after a few games.

Lastly, watch how real‑world actors behave on the field. Their habits often translate into the game’s AI. If a player tends to rush shots, give them a “Shoot Less Often” instruction. Small adjustments like this add up.

All the guides under the actor tag follow this practical approach: identify the virtual actor’s key traits, match tactics, and apply simple menu tweaks. You don’t need to be a pro to use them; just a bit of curiosity about how each player moves.

Ready to try? Pick a player you struggle with, open the actor profile, and experiment with one of the hacks above. You’ll feel the difference right away and start winning more matches.
