If you love FIFA 17, you’ve probably noticed that the player models can look a bit flat after a while. The good news? You can freshen them up without breaking the game. Below are easy ways to tweak skins, improve animations, and give your squad a professional look.
The fastest model upgrade is swapping skins. Download a skin pack from a trusted community site, unzip it, and drop the files into the FIFA 17/graphics
folder. Restart the game and head to the ‘Edit Teams’ menu – you’ll see new faces ready to use. Most packs come with a readme that tells you which files belong to which league, so you won’t accidentally replace a star player’s kit.
Tip: Back up the original graphics
folder before you replace anything. That way you can revert if a skin doesn’t load correctly.
Player models aren’t just about looks; the way they move matters a lot. FIFA 17 uses animation files called .pak
. You can replace generic dribble or goal‑celebration animations with community‑made versions that feel smoother.
Here’s a quick process:
.pak
files into the FIFA 17/animation
directory.Most packs are built to work with the base game, so you won’t need extra tools.
Remember, each time you change a model or animation, clear the game’s cache. Go to My Documents/FIFA 17/cache
and delete the files inside. This forces the game to load the fresh assets the next time you start.
Using these simple steps you can give your FIFA 17 roster a fresh visual boost and smoother gameplay. Experiment with different skin packs and animation sets until you find the perfect combo for your style. Happy gaming!
