Available Sept 27 in North America or Sept 22 for Origin Access members on PC. Wrong i play smooth on 4k something not right on some pcs. See the specifications required to run the PC (Windows) version of FIFA 17.

Otherwise it would have been fixed long time ago. Too bad EA Sports don't give a f**k about anything but money form their gambling business anymore.
FIFA 17 PC PATCH
One thing i was able to check though is that neither GPU nor CPU are heavily used when it happens so it's just the way the game works now on some systems, and i believe it requires a patch to fix it. As always, it’ll be competing against PES 2017, which is due to be released around the same time.

You can usually wait it out (takes around 20-30 seconds as you said) but if you try to do anything the freeze becomes permanent and hard reset is the only way out. FIFA 17, by EA Vancouver will be released on September 29 for PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Sometimes it's not just FIFA freezing but also whole system becoming unsresponsive. Random freezing also happens to me, usually somewhere in the menus which is ridiculous. It's not your rig, gpu drivers, cpu or memory use.
