Of course, the fan-favourite Ultimate Team mode is back, allowing you to purchase packs of randomly generated player cards in exchange for either cash or in-game currency. Apart from that, EA haven’t got much to change as the gameplay in FIFA has been pretty much spot on for years, so, FIFA 16 remains as reliable, fun and polished as ever. Outside of this, it is clear some minor tweaks have been made to the physics which has heavily reduced the number of minor glitchy textures and bugs present, in my opinion. In FIFA 16, this feature has added a new level of realism to the game which brings it even closer to a perfect emulation of the real thing. This is another example of the slow addition of new features annually to FIFA which completely change the gameplay.

Now, by holding LB/L1, you can fake dribble to send defenders the wrong way in order to open up a path through the defence. This is disappointing as the game looks stunning in every other way.Īnother big addition to FIFA 16 this year is the introduction of an advanced system of dribbling off the ball. It is also apparent that not a lot of time was spent on creating player models for the female players, as they sport significantly less detail than their male counterparts. However, I presume that we will see more integration with other game modes in FIFA 17, as I presume the addition of women’s teams is quite a big undertaking from a development perspective. A glaring example of this is the absence of the ability to create a female player in Career Mode. Women’s international teams can only be used in the tournament and free play modes, so, they feel like a contained subsection of the main game, rather than something which has been fully integrated. Unfortunately, this feature is a lot more restricted than we initially thought.

Of course, one of the most talked-about additions to the game before its release was the presence of women’s teams for the first time in FIFA. In the case of FIFA, the game has become more and more realistic each year and the most recent entry continues that pattern of improvement. FIFA 16 is the latest entry in the incredibly popular annual football title from EA Sports and as usual it offers a selection of upgrades, improvements, changes and new features.
