Every year the same question is asked by fans of the EA Sports' FIFA franchise - 'Is the new game really any different to last year?'
In all truth, the answer to that question differs from year-to-year, sometimes the changes are significant but sometimes they're a bit of a let down.
Understandably, fans would be reluctant to part with another £40 if the game is going to just be the same as it was last year.
But this time around the game's developers have been getting very excited about what is in store and the latest installment is said to be taking things to new levels.
Based on what we know so far, this one is going to be worth the wait with some hugely significant alterations both in terms of new tech platforms and game modes.
The Journey...
This is a pretty exciting new game mode that, for the very first time, allows you to live the story of the Premier League's next big thing on and off the field.
As youngster called Alex Hunter, you can play for any Premier League club under authentic managers, surrounded by the best players in the world.
Hunter is a young prospect who is looking to make his mark in the best league in the world. You make the decisions on and off the field and mould his career.
The things you do in games and say in post-match interview will determine how your team-mates respond to you and alters what happens next.
The Journey puts you through true-to-life experiences with a number of Premier League stars, including Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford, being consulted for authenticity.
The new Frostbite Engine...
This will probably be taken for granted by your casual gamer but for the hardcore lot, this is exciting.
Frostbite has powered EA games like Battlefield and Need for Speed, with the former earning all sorts of plaudits from fans and critics for its incredible graphics.
The new tech platform has allowed EA to develop new features that were previously never possible, like the new cinematic story mode in FIFA 17.
