How to Check whether You Can Play the FIFA 17 Closed Beta
It's the same that FIFA 17 will also have a closed beta like EA's other games over the years. Several FIFA 16 players have received invitations to sign up for it. The FIFA 17 Closed Beta begins on August 18 and ends on August 28. Right now the FIFA 17 Closed Beta is only on the PS4 and Xbox One. You can get accessible through the following game types: Career Mode, Pro Clubs, and Ultimate Team.
In order to get access to the FIFA 17 Closed Beta you'll need an invite, thus you gain eligibility for it. The former isn't widely in circulation right now and the requirements for the latter are unknown. Only EA knows who is receiving beta invites and it has not been clear on its selection criteria.
According to football gaming site FIFPlay, those who have received invites have been most active in specific game modes and speculates that "it could be based on the time they spent on playing the game and their in-game activities."
You can however, check if you're qulified to play it even if you don't have an invite by logging into the EA Sports FIFA site.Here is the site. http://www.fifplay.com/fifa17-closed-beta/ Once logged in, you may see a notification saying you are eligible, or rejected for the closed beta.
With FIFA 17 moving to the Frostbite Engine that powers the likes of Need for Speed and Battlefield 1, early access would be an indicator of what performance to expect when the game hits at the end of September.
